  1. API endpoint to return ALL objects (recursively) but simplified to create browser tree

    I am using the jstree library in my application to create a full browser tree of a user's BOX resources. Please create an endpoint to return ALL objects (recursive) available to an authenticated user inside one root folder . These objects would only require the object ID, TYPE, NAME, VERSION and PARENT(parent-id as string instead of parent object). The jstree lib can take this data and create an entire file browsing tree and then users would call up more information when they click on an object. This would greatly reduce the number of API calls to your server and possibly…

  2. Add ability to manage tags

    Admins need a way to mass edit tags. Sometimes people misspell tags when they're adding them, or sometimes an entire tag itself needs to change completely, and everything that has that tag should be updated. (Check out how Zenhub handles tags for inspiration!)

  3. Password Expiration Notice "Prior to" the Date

    We would like to see the message like: "Your password will be expired in 7 days". Currently, BOX asks us to reset our password on the day of expiration. This can be a problem especially when we are at airport and try to see box.

    At the Admin console, we would like to see "0 day" or "7 days" as options.

  4. Box Drive Warning When File Path is too Long

    There is a known issue with Box Drive that if a file path is exceeds a character count limit, then the file cannot be opened on desktop, however it can be opened via Box on the web. The issue is, when a user has a file on their desktop, that has a current file path within the character count limits, then moves the file to Box Drive within Windows Explorer and the new path in box exceeds the character limits. As of now, the user can copy and paste into Box Drive and not realize that their new path will…

  5. Folder color and icon customization

    Current UI, it is not easy to recognize which folder is important in visually.
    If we can customize folder color and icon by importance, it is going to be easy to discriminate between folders and it is improve security.

  6. Get Rid of Waterfall Permissions - Allow Subfolder Security To Be Set Differently

    It is absolutely ridiculous that a company as large as Box is using waterfall permissions for all enterprise accounts.

    In a business environment, it is absolutely necessary to be able to set specific permissions on subfolders within a large data folder that all users have access to. This is a simple feature included with every other cloud file provider we've ever used.

    Needs to be included ASAP.

  7. Prevent Users from navigating to other folders when using Salesforce

    Currently the Box for Salesforce integration utilizes a simple embed widget, which allows a user to navigate out of the associated Box folder to other areas of their Box account, all while still in the same Salesforce case. This is a security and use concern for some customers as files can be accidentally uploaded to folders not related to the current case. From a UI perspective, simply taking away the file path buttons would get the job done.

  8. Hide Folder (and nested folders) in UI

    When using Box for NetSuite V1 we were able to hide the entire NetSuite folder from the UI so that users could only access the content via the NetSuite UI. V2 doesn't have this option, which means that users can see any folders they were ever able to access in NetSuite, even if their permissions have since been restricted.

    We should be able to have folders accessible through the NetSuite UI only.
