  1. Ability to export file requests dashboard

    With time, many file requests have been created. The file request dashboard is a welcome addition, however additional features would be needed so we can actually take actions:
    - export all active file requests filtered by Box Group so that we can share that with champions for different departments to look into
    - search/filter by user and folder name

  2. Ability to identify meta data returned being customer inputted or Box System generated

    When using the method to return all metadata file.getAllMetadata();

    The response seems to be returning numerous sets of metadata templates that are attached to the file, both customer created and Box system related.

    It would be good if there was an attribute / flag to filter out values that are customer entered vs Box System generated.

  3. Create a subflow for rejected files in Box Relay

    In Box Relay, when an approval task occurs and the file is rejected, there should be an option to create a subflow for the rejection. Right now, we can only set-up a task or do nothing.

    We use metadata to categorize our files and trigger other relays. Right now, both unprocessed files and rejected files have no tag, because the rejected task workflow does not allow more actions to be taken on the file.

    We would like to be able to create a general task for our users, tag the file, and move the rejected file to a separate folder,…

  5. File preview could use "Preview As..." option

    Some people such as programmers use ".out" as a file extension for a text file. Although Box has done much work to support various filetypes in preview mode, Box does not offer a "Preview As Text" option as far as I can tell. It would be helpful to allow users to open files with "Open as text".

  7. Change Geographic Activity highlighted country from blue to red

    When the geographic activity shows the activity of a country it is circled blue. Can you change the circle blue into something like red because it is sometimes hard to see the circle since the colour is similar to the map.

  8. Speed displayed in grid view

    I would like to request an improvement so that even if it is displayed in the grid view, it will be previewed in a few seconds.
    It takes time to find the desired image file in the grid view, which is inefficient.
    For example, if you display a folder with a large number of files in the grid view, it will be previewed little by little every few files, and it took about 2 minutes to display 374 files.

  11. Enable default classification of MIP / Purview marked content from outside our tenant

    We have multiple Microsoft Tenants and one Box EID. The challenge with this is that Shield only enables us to map sensitivity labels from one tenant. As a result we have a lot of information in our Box environment that is MIP marked but carries no Shield classification. It would be ideal to enable a default Shield classification for to be applied to data that has come from outside our MIP tenant. That way we can at notify users that additional controls may affect the document beyond those that Shield is enforcing, and smooth the gaps between our multi-tenancy in…

  12. Make metadata attributes required on templates

    We need a way to make selected attributes required custom templates, so that when the templates are applied to Folders/Files the user can not save the metadata form bypassing the required metadata.

  13. Additional requirement to know in advance how long it will take to cascade metadata

    I would like to improve the time to add the Box metadata instance to the folder.This section explains the background of the improvement request.

    The following article from Box states that the time to complete adding a metadata instance to a folder varies depending on the size of the structure.

    References:
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195873-Cascading-metadata-in-folders

    ・Excerpt from the above article
    What is the expected time from file upload to metadata cascade?

    Applying metadata via the cascade policy is not an immediate action, and may take some time depending on the size of the folder structure.

  15. Co-Admin permission - Manage Shield Lists

    It would be good to be able to delegate the update of Sheild lists so that someone can amend who is in a list without providing access to other shield functions.

    For example, a list of people email addresses that can change because external parties that we collaborate change but we want to be able to remove/add people.

  16. classification labeling time lag when item added to a folder with classification

    When adding items to a folder with defined classification, there is a time lag (appx. 5 min) to reflect the classification to added items. (we know its 20min for 40K items but still we want to remove the time lag)
    During the lag, a user can temporarily operate the items outside the policy defined on its classification.
    This seems a critical defect in terms of its security, so please consider to fix the situation.
    Thanks,

  17. Display error when entering unsupported characters when renaming folders and files

    When creating a new folder or file, if you include characters not supported by Box (other than Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane characters), receive an error.
    However, when renaming, I can name files and folders using characters other than BMP.
    (After renaming a folder or file, the character will automatically change to "_" after a while.)

    Please allow the same error to be displayed when an unsupported character is entered when renaming a folder or file,as when a new character is created.

    (日本語)
    <フォルダ名・ファイル名の変更時にサポートされていない文字を入力するとエラーを表示させる>

    現在、フォルダやファイル作成時にBoxでサポートされてるUnicodeの基本多言語面 (BMP)以外の文字を入力するとエラーが表示されます。
    しかし、名称変更時にはBMP以外の文字を使用したファイル名・フォルダ名を付けることができます。
    (変更後しばらくすると自動的に「_」変わります。)

    サポートされていない文字を入力したときに、新規作成と同じようにエラーを表示できるようにしてください。

  19. I want to switch pages by swiping pdf or powerpoint on iPad even when in the middle of filling in annotations.

    Sometimes I want to see the other page of pdf when I am in the middle of filling in annotation. However, the current behavior of Box's annotation, you need to save the annotation to move to the other page of pdf or powerpoint.

  20. Display name is cut off when specifying a group or user in the user activity report

    The display name displayed in the suggestion when performing a search when specifying a group or user in the user activity report is cut off.
    Users and groups cannot be specified correctly, such as when similar names are set and they are distinguished by the end of the name.
    We want you to improve so that you can check all users and group names in the suggestion display when searching

    (In Japanese)
    ユーザーアクティビティレポートのグループやユーザーを指定するときに検索を行っても、
    サジェストに表示される表示名が見切れてしまう。
    類似した名前を設定し、名前の末尾で区別している場合など正しくユーザーやグループを指定する事ができない。
    検索時のサジェスト表示でユーザーやグループ名をすべて確認できるよう改善してほしい。
