1. use @mention in the Office suites of software (Words, Excel, PowerPoint)

   Currently, we are able to do commenting of the document in Box by using the @mention. But we are not able to do the same when we are editing document in the native Ms Office software eg Words, Excel & PowerPoint. The @mention does not work.

   Would like to have the same feature when we are working in the native document?

2. Enhanced Lock/Unlock on Box Drive for CAD files

   I hope the Enhanced lock/unlock experience, which is currently only available for Office files, be made available for CAD files and others as well.

4. Run User Activity Report with API

   We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
   Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
   Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

5. Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI

   The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
   It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
   We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
   Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
   Please improve performance.

   「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」

   Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
   操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
   Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000～2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
   上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
   性能改善をお願いします。

6. Customize Collaborator Permission Levels

   Any chance that we can have some flexibility in the "Collaborator Permission Levels." Can we develop a tool to edit these levels, like check which function the user can have. Having set levels with no flexibility is difficult because every user needs different access.

7. Exclude Specific Content from Box AI

   As a law firm we need to segregate certain client data from the ability to use Box AI due to legal agreements in place with their clients to not be able to use AI on their data. Currently we would need to turn off Box AI on the whole account in order to achieve this requirement, which is not ideal.

8. Syncing bookmarks and Windows shortcuts between Box Drive and online.

   To better organize my personal Box files and share with teams, I've saved my files in the team folder and used a Windows shortcut (in Box Drive) in my personal Box folder to link files/folders elsewhere on Box. Box Drive doesn't sync Window's shortcuts so these links are lost when working online. The workaround online is to use the bookmark function, using file/folder URLs to create shortcuts. It would be great if bookmarks or window's shortcuts synced between online and Box Drive modes. At the moment I'm having to bookmark online and shortcut on Drive to link up files and folders. This is double the work and if I delete my Cache, the short cuts on Box Drive will be lost. Is there a better approach or solution to this problem?

9. Ability to save reports to a custom location

   With the upcoming report scheduling function, coupled with improved filters to better streamline reports that are generated, it would be really useful to be able to define a custom save location for a report that is generated as part of that process (i.e. to any folder within your box instance and not just the default 'reports' bucket).

   Our use case is that we'd like to set up a series of scheduled reports (soon possible!), each one filtered to activities within a specific folder (also now possible!) and then have that report automatically save into the folder to which it relates (not currently possible). This way, it will be possible for co-owners of a folder to see (saved automatically to their folder) a regularly updated report on some aspect of their folder. In our case, we'd like to do a collaborator report so that we can regularly audit who has access to items within high-level folder trees where each high-level folder contains a LOT of sub-folders and files, and where we have equally a LOT of these high-level folders.

    This feature is not currently planned, but it is a second-priority item for our team. A related feature—the ability to open a file in Box Drive from the web app—is on our roadmap and will be an initial step toward supporting this request. We will keep you posted on updates; please continue upvoting this request, as it helps us prioritize improvements. Thanks for your collaboration.

11. Add "Like" button to comments

    I would like to "like" comments on the preview so that is is easier to show that I have checked the comment without typing a new comment to say I have checked it.
    We are now getting more use to using reactions from Slack/Teams that it would be nice to react with a "like" or a thumbs up reaction.

12. Templates - Restrict Templates to Specific Users/Groups and/or Folder Structures

    Metadata templates are currently global across an entire EID. This does not scale well for large organizations with 50,000, 100,000 or more than 200,000 users.

    This request is to add 'scope' parameters to Metadata Templates such that a specific template can be restricted to...
    1. A specific set of users
    2. A specific set of Groups
    3. A specific Folder structure

13. Request for Improvement of BOX Drive Proxy Server Authentication Response Function

    BOX Drive is not working properly in our environment.
    We recognize that BOX Drive is designed to read Pac files, but the communication is succeeding up to the proxy server according to the Pac file.
    However, it seems that it is not able to respond to the authentication response of the proxy server.

    As a result, when we open files in our Office products (Excel and Word) that cannot be opened in a web browser, we have to download the file once from
    BOX.
    This method is not productive for us.

    As a solution, we would like to be able to use BOX Drive to open files directly from Office products (Office desktop applications).
    Please consider improving the support for proxy authentication responses.

    Please note that SSL decoding is not performed for communications to BOX.

    Thank you very much for your time.

    BOX Driveのプロキシサーバー認証応答機能改善のお願い

    弊社環境において、BOX Driveが正常に動作しておりません。
    BOX DriveはPacファイルを読み込む仕様と認識していますが、Pacファイルに従ってプロキシサーバーまでは通信が成功しています。
    しかし、プロキシサーバーの認証応答に対応できていないようです。

    これにより、弊社ではWebブラウザ上で開けないファイルをOffice製品（ExcelやWord）で開く際、
    BOXからファイルを一旦ダウンロードする必要があります。
    この方法では生産性が低下してしまいます。

    解決策として、BOX Driveを活用し、Office製品（Officeのデスクトップアプリ）から直接ファイルを開けることが望ましく、
    プロキシ認証応答への対応機能の改善をぜひご検討いただきたく存じます。

    なお、BOX宛の通信に関してはSSLのデコードは行っておりません。

    お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。

14. Custom Columns (with sort) in Files List (Kind, Metadata, Access Stats, etc.)

    The webapp defaults to showing the user 3 columns - Name, Modified, and Size.

    This request is to allow the user to customize which columns are shown -- i.e., show me the Name, Size, and Metadata field X columns, but nothing else. Or show me the Name, Modified, and Access Stats (Previews) columns.

    Example columns to choose from:
    -Name
    -Size
    -Kind (File Type)
    -Access Stats (Preview, Download, etc.)
    -Metadata (specific template/field)
    -Created Date
    -Updated/Modified Date
    -Description
    etc.
