  2. I want to be able to find files containing specific text that DO NOT have a specified metadata template applied

    I want to be able to find files containing specific text that DO NOT have a specified metadata template applied. This will help with implementing Box Governance Classification, and support compliance/audits going forward.

  3. 2FA when logging in using external password

    When SSO is enabled, users can use external passwords to access services that do not support SSO login. Security teams want to be able to enforce 2FA on logins using external passwords.

  5. Governance, Retention policy for folders with no content

    hen a retention policy removes files, it's possible to end up in a situation where there is a very long list of folders without any files. It would be helpful if there was a way to remove these folders quickly.

  6. Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report

    Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    Sometimes previewing large Video files is not counted as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    It should be counted.

  7. Document metadata processing and visualization for decision making in large organizations

    Example: Financial organization such as a bank, needs to process a new loan. They will need to process income verification, identity verification, and other documents. The bank representative receiving this information must validate these documents, so the metadata pulled from these documents should be easily exported into a friendly format, such as excel.

    This will allow bank representative to easily approve or deny the loan, and can be automated using Box Relay.

    This is a killer application, because it will increase the efficiency of document processing, and will speed up and automate the work of many employees. This will shift…

  8. ABILITY TO CLOSE THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR ON FILES!!!!!!

    GET RID OF THE ACTIVTY BOX ON FILES.

    OF OUR ~10,000 FILES ONLY 6 HAVE COMMENTS, SO WHY SHOULD WE ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE IT OPEN.

    WHEN USING TWO OPEN WINDOWS SIDE BY SIDE, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE BOX BECAUSE HALF OF THAT WINDO W IS OVERTAKEN BY THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR.

    YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT, WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

  10. Auto classification of files/folders based on metadata and comments

    It would be helpful if Box's auto classification feature were able to trigger file classification (and thus, security controls) if metadata on a file/folder is sensitive in nature or if a file has comments/tasks/annotations that contain sensitive information.

  11. Keep third party's login token or credentials when logging out from Box Drive

    Users need to log in to a web gateway before logging in to Box Drive.

    If they log out, they need to login to the gateway again.

    In WebApp, they don’t need to re-login the gateway after logging out from Box.

    Therefore, Box should have any way to prevent this.

  12. See a longer duration for the pop-up that appears at the top of the screen when moving or copying is performed.

    We would like to see a longer duration for the pop-up that appears at the top of the screen when you move or copy.
    It would be great if it could be set up on a per-tenant basis if possible.

    If we accidentally manipulate it, we'll get flustered.
    We need a little more time to calmly click the "Undo" button.

    <移動・コピー時に画面上部に表示されるポップアップの持続時間を長くして欲しい>

    移動・コピー時に画面上部に表示されるポップアップの持続時間を長くして欲しいです。
    可能であれば、テナント単位で設定できるとさらに良いと思います。

    誤って操作してしまった場合、慌ててしまいます。
    冷静に「元に戻す」ボタンをクリックするには、もう少し時間が必要です。

  13. Shared link - colour code the link icon to advise who it is shared with Public, invited only etc

    Currently if a file or folder has shared link enabled it, it places a blue symbol between the file name and last updated date. You have 2 options to see what the shared link is enabled as either by clicking onto the link symbol and it shows the properties of the enabled link or highlighting the folder/file and looking at details on the right hand side.

    It would be better if the symbol was perhaps a different colour to show it was the different status e.g blue -invited only - green - people in your company - red -public

    or…

  14. Need to send message with collaborator invite by using java SDK or any rest point

    We have to automate the process where I need a code to send an optional message along with a collaborator invite. With Box Ui we can send optional message along with collaborator invite but I didn't find any method in BOX SDK .

  15. Meta Data

    Two Recommendations;
    1) When a file or folder has metadata applied, having a ICON on record (similar to a shared link or description) be visible.. Currently you don't know UNLESS you select the item and do to details to see if template has been applied.

    2) When metadata is applied, showing the metadata values when you select the record similar go to Details would be be great.
    When using Metadata the file or folder where the metadata is applied should clearly show (like a shared link or description) that met

  16. New / Folder Modal Window on Web App - Fields Lose Focus

    I'm a creature of habit and don't like change, so there are plenty of grumblings I could make about the new UI.

    That being said, there's one thing that absolutely gets my goat, and I'm told that this is "expected behavior" in the new web UI.

    When I click the upper right "new" then "folder" and the "lightbox" modal window appears to add information about my new folder, the old UI would focus the cursor in the naming field allowing me to just start typing.

    In the new UI, this window loses focus after a short load of some small…

  17. Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory

    It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

  18. New folder name field not on by default

    When you create a new folder the text box for the name field is not enabled by default, it used to be, now you have to click into it to begin typing. A minor thing but definitely a convenience.

  19. Make all "Get link" modals copy the link to the user's clipbaord

    In the Box UI, often when you click on "Get link" it not only shows you the link in a modal, but also automatically copies it to your clipboard. This is really helpful, as it saves the user an extra step.
    However, this doesn't happen always. Sometimes when you get the share a link modal it just presents you with the URL, but you then have to manually copy this to your clipboard.

    So, it would be great if you applied the "automatically-copy-to-clipboard" pattern across all "Get link" scenarios throughout the Box UI.
