  1. Managing/Drawing Diagrams in Box

    Box already integrate MS Office to be able to temporary dowload a office document for edit but also allows to update MS Office documents online in the browser.

    I would like to see similar functionality for diagrams.

    Draw.IO is a diagram tool that you can use offline and online app.diagrams.net
    So it would be easy to provide working with diagrams in Box very easy.

    Function A: Online Editing of draw.io files with embedded drawio or passing it to app.diagrams.net

    Function B: Allows to temporary download drawio files same as with ms office documents.

  2. reference point within box note

    Option to insert anchor/reference point in a Box Note
    Box Notes can be lengthy and would be great to be able to insert an anchor within the Box Note so that when directing someone to that spot, they aren't searching the entire Note to find the spot.

  3. Box for Office - Access to Collections

    Now that we can organise our files in Box using Collections, it would be good to be able to access this functionality in the Office Apps. This is 'mainly' relevant to the Outlook Box add-in that comes as part of Box for Office for when you want to save to Box or insert from Box.
    Excel/Word/PowerPoint - I would argue that the best experience is opening from Edge/Chrome using Box Edit.

  4. Eliminate "We’ve Sent You a Confirmation Email" page for provisioned accounts

    We feel that showing "We’ve Sent You a Confirmation Email" page is not appropriate page for provisioned account's
    that are manually created in Admin Console or that are auto provisioned from AD.
    If Admin create new accounts with Silent mode, the confirmation email is not sent.
    Therefor user needs to create password on "Reset password" page manually. This is OK.
    After creating the password and try to login with the created password, "We’ve Sent You a Confirmation Email" page
    is displayed. But confirmation email is not sent. The user needs to click "Resend Confirmation Email" to receive "Please complete your…

  5. Exclude users from Single Sign On

    The Single Sign On feature is currently an "all or none" setting and it would be nice to have the option to exclude certain users from the SSO requirement when enabled.

  6. Cascading Metadata - applying policy should stay in affect so future value updates cascade without force.

    Metadata cascade policy should stay in effect and push future value changes down (as per policy) - until the policy is removed.

    Futher only the value(s) updated should be pushed down, not the full set of metadata values..

  7. Restrict assigning higher level permissions to external users

    we would like a control to restrict external users from having anything above a set permission level.

    It would also be great if we could review on one screen, external users to see what permission levels is assigned

  8. 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…

  9. As an admin I like to be able to search on a folder ID in the admin console

    I just had a user with only a path to a folder with an id (https://company.app.box.com/folder/123456789) for example.

    I didn't have access to it, so I was wondering which folder it actually was.

    I couldn't find a way to search for the ID in the admin console, so I could find the real name and owner.

    My suggestion is to have a search field in the admin console where you can put the Folder ID and it returns the full path and owner.

  10. Allow reorganization of received collaborated folders

    I would like to request that all users are allowed, as non-folder owners, to place shared folders inside non-shared folders. This allows for better organization for users and therefore an overall better user experience. All other cloud services that I am a part of allow this.

    Example:
    I own the folders "fruit" and "orange." Someone else owns the folder "apple" and shares it with me. Currently, I cannot place the folder "apple" inside of my "fruit" folder. I would like to request this is changed.

    Currently, Box permissions (and as it was explained to me, security) does not allow it.…

  12. Locking Folder Names

    We have systems integrating with folders on Box.com. These functions either provide workflow timestamps, or move files from folder to folder. In order for these integrations to work seamlessly, folders cannot be accidentally or purposely renamed.

  14. I would like Box Sign to have more flexible permission settings.

    When Box Sign is enabled for a user, he/she can send sign requests, check the contents of requests shared with them, and view their inbox.
    However, there are users for whom I do not want to allow sending sign requests, but I do want them to be able to check their inbox.

    For example, our executives who frequently approve or sign documents in Box Sign but do not need to send signature requests by themselves.
    I believe it is a potential security risk to give users the authority to send signature requests even though they do not need it.

    Currently,…

  15. Color annotations available when Offline on Mobile

    For use of Box document management functionality on mobile and tablet, we would like Box mobile to provide offline functionality, IE when the device goes offline, we would like a user to have the following capability
    - be able to view the document offline INCLUDING all the annotations that existed on it.

    - be able to create more annotations on the document WHILE offline
    - those annotations merged back to the online version when the device comes back online.

    Use Case: For field engineers that work in shifts in areas with limited and patchy internet access, they need to access…

  16. Name in the notification email of Box Relay should be the initiator of a workflow rather than workflow owner/creator.

    Currently the name displyaed in the notification email of Box Relay is the name who owned/created the workflow.
    It's idal to be displayed Name of initiator of a workflow in the notification email especially in caseunspecified majority of people might launch the workflow by manual.
    Enabling the above feature makes it much easier to confirm user who start the flow.

  17. Configure ways to sign a document. Example: Disable typed signature

    Give admins or senders ability to disable sender from typing signature

    Amy Hudson - it is for a customer who is a CPA and he said that for what they do it can be an issue/requirement that for e signatures to be accepted it needs to be drawn not typed

    Denise DeLisser - I also have a customer (Shriners). They require drawn signatures for some of their consent forms and would love if we could enforce/require a specific signature type.

  19. Ability to include the name of the triggered file in the subject line when sending Relay notifications

    We would like to be able to include the name of the triggered file in the subject line when sending Relay notifications.
