  1. Improve metadata search UI design.

    We are currently confined to a small box with scroll bars when using Metadata search. Please improve the UI design so we can see all the fields without having to scroll (pop-out, iFrame, etc.)

  2. Allow for conditional rules-based retention policy.

    Allow for conditional rules-based retention policy.
    Example: For a dealer we need to see what the newest document is based on a metadata field. The field is corporate copy date.
    If that is greater than 7 years, then delete all documents with that dealer id.
    You need to get a list of all dealer id’s and find the newest corporate copy date. If any dealer id's are greater than 7 years, delete all for that dealer. In a nutshell, we need to hold 7 years of data after there has been an interaction with a dealer.

  4. I want to share only the necessary folders and files on the BOX drive

    Since it is troublesome to access BOX.com, I usually access and edit the necessary folders and files from the BOX drive, but it would be convenient to be able to display only the necessary folders and files. Currently, when you open a folder with "Windows + E", all the folders and files in "All files" of BOX.com are displayed on the BOX drive, but you do not access all of these, and you can save files that are accessed infrequently. I think you should check BOX.com to confirm.
    I think it would be useful to have options such as "Share…

  5. Allow Admins to STOP Email Uploads Success/Failure Notifications

    We have a requirement for some groups to email reports into Box folders. When using the Email Upload functionality, Box will send the uploading user an email to confirm whether their upload completed successfully or failed. Employees receive excessive emails since we cannot stop Box from sending these confirmations.
    Just make it an option in the admin console to shut off these confirmation emails.

  6. PLEASE give me option to turn off notifications for a specific file or folder

    PLEASE give me option to turn off notifications for a specific file or folder.

    Commented on a file, and now I'm getting swamped by notifications.

    I'd like to mute notifications on this specific thread, similar to what I can do in FB or Slack.

  7. About the Delete All Button in the Recycle Bin.

    About the Delete All Button in the Recycle Bin.

    When pressing the Delete All button in the Recycle Bin, the deletion process fails and an error occurs.

    It was an answer to the problem that occurred in the following procedure from Box Support (ticket number: 2694308),

    1. Among the folders in the parent-child relationship, the child folder is deleted first.
    2. Delete parent folder after.
    3. Folders of parent-child relationship are displayed separately in the trash box as different folders.
    4. In this state, if [Delete All] is pressed, an error occurs.

    The Delete All button is not available until you delete the parent-child…

  8. Remove Approved Integration API as Suspicious in Shield Suspicious Location

    Similar to the pulse below, I would like Shield Suspicious Location to not mark already integrated application IP address as suspicious because there are too many noise due to this.

  9. Custom Identifiers that can be seen in user reports

    Customer Requests the ability to upload custom identifiers that can be seen when running user reports. Currently they use the user's email address to determine if a license is needed, and when a name change occurs, this creates confusion as it appears that the person may have left and the license is no longer needed.

  10. Restrictions on the use of direct links/直接リンクの利用制限

    When issuing a shared link, the direct link is displayed on the screen transition of "Link setting" from the shared link issue screen, so there are cases where the direct link is used by mistake.
    There are many cases where users with free accounts cannot use it because they share files using direct links.
    Therefore, please make improvements so that the use of direct links can be restricted on a tenant-by-tenant or folder-by-folder basis.

    (In Japanese)
    共有リンクを発行する際、共有リンク発行画面から「リンク設定」の画面遷移に直接リンクが表示されているため、間違えて直接リンクを利用するケースがあります。
    直接リンクを用いてファイル共有を行ってしまい、無償アカウントのユーザーが利用できない事が多発しています。
    そのため、テナント単位やフォルダ単位で直接リンクの使用を制限できるよう改善をお願いします。

  11. Send box drive logs to any email address

    Allow users to send box drive logs to a given email address rather than ONLY to Box Support. Remote debugging is difficult when we can't work directly with our end users' logs.

  12. word comment email

    We wanted Box to send an email notification to a specific collaborator when we comment in Word Online using Word's comment feature. It would be nice if the email includes the link to the comment in the Word Document.

  13. Allow resizeable/full-screen file search form

    Actually the file search UX in Windows has a design giving priority to form over function, with a concept half-way resembling a tray application notification.

    The problem with that is that the ridiculous window size most of the time trims relatively long file paths to the point of having on-screen indistinguishable search results for different files, if they are at somewhat deepth in the file tree. The smallnes brings also unnecesary scroll, and forces the pains of a self imposed real-state screen-space shortage, more proper of mobile devices but undesirable in desktop.

    Let file search have the first class interface…

  14. Recent Box Notes design update - I need table width consistency, dislike the off-page scrolling

    I use Box Notes quote a bit throughout every day and am really struggling with this new design update, especially to the tables formatting. I use a new table for each day's notes, and make a new file every month.

    This design update has completely messed up the formatting of each table's size: some horizontally scroll off page, some truncate columns and cut words in half, and none are default to width of page. It's extremely disorienting and has set me back quite a few hours.

  15. Make item selection of Content Explorer more kindly

    Currently item selection of Content Explorer is difficult little, because only character area can be clicked.
    I hope thumbnail area also can be clicked, so that item selection of Content Explorer can be more kindly.

  16. Use an image in place of the folder icon for folders

    We would like to use an image in place of the folder icon for folders. We embed a couple of root folders on our website so that our distributors have access to resources. When they click into the root folder, they see a list of other folders. It would be good if these folders could be represented by a suitable image instead of the blue folder icon. Can this functionality be developed please?

  18. Comments in the preview and the word/docx file should be synchronized

    Right now, there are two layers of comments when reviewing a word/docx file. If comments are added in the preview, they are not visible when the file is opened in editing/review mode. Furthermore, if comments are marked as resolved in the online editor, the "resolved" status is not persistent if the file is downloaded, edited offline, and uploaded again as a new version.

    Be able to set a particular File Type such as "Folders" be the default file type in search rather than "Any Type." Would like to be able to select a file type as default.

  20. Improvement to display a pop-up message when a locked file is opened as read-only

    When a locked file is opened in BoxDrive, there are some cases where the user does not realize that the file is read-only and updates the file.
    We are aware that the pop-up message can be displayed by enabling the auto-lock option or the lock at prompt option, but this option is limited to Office files only.
    We would like to improve the functionality so that all users and all files will have a pop-up message confirming that the file is locked and opened as read-only, even if this option is not enabled.

    (In Japanese)
    <ロックされたファイルが読み取り専用で開かれる際、ポップアップメッセージを表示してほしい>
    BoxDriveでロックされたファイルを開く際、読み取り専用であることに気がつかずファイルを更新してしまうケースが発生しています。
    自動ロックのオプションまたはプロンプトによるロックのオプションを有効にすることでポップアップメッセージが表示されることは認識していますが、こちらのオプションはOfficeファイル限定となっています。
    こちらのオプションを有効にしていなくても全ユーザーとすべてのファイルに対して、ファイルがロックされているため読み取り専用として開かれていることが確認できるポップアップメッセージが表示されるよう機能の改善を希望します。
