  1. Make direct download link names editable

    The direct file download link needs to allow for the name to be either changed by the user or better yet... the actual file name. Currently, the direct download link is auto-generated by Box to a random file name (with extension). This function does not work for certain scenarios where you want to host the file on Box and allow for download of a file and retain the filename.

  3. Threat Detection Reporting

    My customer would like to get a report of the activities that detection rule is processing to ensure that is actually working. They have one rule (suspicious session) that has not generated any hits and thus they don’t know if it’s actually doing anything or not.

  4. disable certain user from viewing a folder without affecting parent folder access permission to an user in BOX

    companies sometime have sensitive folder that only certain people should have access but need to be under a project folder which many other users for organizational reasons.

    sadly box on the web doesn't have the basic function of disabling Inherited Permissions from the parent folder so we can decide who can see the content from a specific folder

  5. Report on who has Box Sync enabled from User Permissions

    Admins can enable Box Sync per individual user under the Permissions in the Users&Groups tab in the Admin Console. I would like a report that can pull which users has Box Sync enabled.

  6. Identify locally any failed uploads

    Hi, we have had users send entire folders with dozens if not hundreds of subfolders up to Box via Box Drive. In some cases, since they aren't reviewing all of the content they are uploading, there are some failures (inappropriate file or folders names, unsupported file types, etc). Box Drive names the failed uploads but offers no way to identify them in the Box Drive folder structure on the local machine. There are no icon changes that might identify those containing folders which have the failed uploads within them. A simple right click in the notification to show the offending…

  7. Make contents of Apple iWork files fully searchable

    Currently Apple iWork files (.key, .numbers, .pages) are not searchable on Box, even though uploading, previewing and editing them on Box is possible. As our company mainly works with these Mac files, this is a big limitation for us. It would be great if all iWork formats can be search using the full text searched functions in Box.

    As a Box user, I want to be able to do a full text search on Apple iWork files, so that I can find them based on their contents when I do not remember their file names.

  8. Ability for variable dates in metadata templates

    When assigned a metadata template as a Relay outcome, customer would like to have the Date value be dynamic and reflect the date the template is assigned, vs the date the workflow was created. The idea is that each outcome would change the status field of the file, and they'd also like to capture the date the status was changed. Knowing the date the status changed would allow end users to search for content in a certain status, by date range.
    This functionality currently does not exist without asking the end user to manually update the date. Use case for…

  12. Box Drive and Time Machine

    You seriously need to work on your time machine issues. Almost all my data are gone, as in GONE, also from the trash bin that you just empty every 30 days. Thanks for hours of work that I will have to put in now to restore data from time machine. Yes, important data. Data that hold HOURS of hard work.

  15. Relay Lite for multiple users

    Relay Lite has a limitation that would work only for a home user. Any business organization would have a primary and backup user monitoring work items, so the ability to list multiple people on the workflow notifications and having only one complete it is essential. We can list multiple recipients in other areas of your product, and should be able to do so in Relay-Lite, rather than being restricted to a single radio button choice.

  17. Specify the error in the Tracking section

    Feature request suggestion: Currently all it says is "Unable to create folder: An error occurred in the workflow". It would've been helpful to see that the error was in the folder name. If there's a lack of space, we can list all the possible reasons for the error on Community too (I think we have a similar list for Sync/Drive errors).

  19. suggest to have a central location for the Trash Bin

    Suggest to have a central location for the Trash Bin, so Box admin can review all the items have been deleted from all users, because currently Box admin can only see the trash items per each user in "content" tab, or have to generate the report for that. So it's not really convenient. Please put this as new feature request in your road map. Thanks.

  20. "Comments" - Feed to read most recent at the top/oldest at the bottom

    To make the "comments" feature more easier to read and follow as a team. It would be great if we have the option/it was the default for the most recent comments to appear at the top, and the oldest to appear at the bottom. This would prevent people from needing the extra step of scrolling all the way down to keep up to date/missing something because they didn't scroll.

    We're trying to persuade the team to use this feature more and it would really help with this.
