  2. Unify nomenclature for permission levels between mobile and web clients

    We've noticed that the same feature is called differently in Desktop-browser, iOS app and Android app

    Specifically the link type 'Invited people only' is called 'People in this folder' in iOS (which I actually like better) and 'People in this file and folder' in Android

    Can you pass this feedback onto the product team? I don't think it makes sense to be inconsistent between the platforms

  3. Allow a file name to be copied without clicking into it

    Can’t copy a document name unless you click in the document (because it’s a hyperlink)

  4. I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails.

    I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails. I used to receive emails but I don't anymore. Why did that change??

  5. Provide folder navigation path while previewing file in web app

    In the Web App, while viewing folder contents a usable full path navigation function is provided at the top of the page. However, if selecting a file all that is available at the top is a link to the folder the file resides in. It would be helpful and consistent to provide the same folder navigation option.

  6. Need to be able to display the whole file name on the All Files page.

    Need to be able to display the whole file name on the All Files page. Even very long file names vs. the 3 dots. The current feature that allows you to make the "Name" column a little wider is not nearly enough. Users should have the option to display the entire name if they wish.

  7. Unable to administer Macro Enabled Office Documents in Box

    At present we have a Group Policy that prevents Macro Enabled Office documents from being opened in our environment. When a macro enabled document is uploaded into box, it circumvents the group policy and is able to be opened on our network. We'd love the ability to manage the types of documents able to be downloaded/opened on our network based on their file extension or type of document.

  9. Landscape view for Box Capture on iPad

  10. Extend navigation to include advanced boolean operators such as "w/s" (within sentence) and "w/p" (within paragraph)

    Extend navigation to include advanced boolean operators such as "w/s" (within sentence) and "w/p" (within paragraph). This will enable the user to find documents must more quickly than just using AND, OR, and NOT.

  11. multiple users in one document

    Create a notification that pops up inside the document when two users have the same document open and when one user makes changes. This feature is in Drop Box and helps cut down on multiple versions of the same document being saved.

  12. Box for Outlook (OWA)

    Box for Outlook integration needs to support moving multiple emails to a box folder, currertly only one email can be filed at a time. Also you only have the option of saving the email message as an .eml which is frustrating as these file dont preview within Box Web. Are you able to have an option for .msg.
    Another great use would be able to move the email to Box rather than a save, which ultimately a copy.
    Also ability to show some box folders in Outlook and drag and drop to those folders would be a great feature.

  13. Identify locally any failed uploads

    Hi, we have had users send entire folders with dozens if not hundreds of subfolders up to Box via Box Drive. In some cases, since they aren't reviewing all of the content they are uploading, there are some failures (inappropriate file or folders names, unsupported file types, etc). Box Drive names the failed uploads but offers no way to identify them in the Box Drive folder structure on the local machine. There are no icon changes that might identify those containing folders which have the failed uploads within them. A simple right click in the notification to show the offending…

  14. Box file URL available when viewing through Salesforce

    It would be great if we could grab the original Box URL for a file or folder from the integration within Salesforce. Since we share many documents internally, it is so much easier and faster to grab the direct link from Box, which creates several separate steps (and defeats the purpose of keeping our users in Salesforce). Being able to pull the Box URL directly from Salesforce would create additional efficiencies.

  15. Need error log print or output option

    My Box context menu says "Error updating 28 items." I look at the errors, figure out the problem, and want to send the file list to the person who is causing the problem. Oh wait, there's no way to do that. I can't capture the text displayed, I can't forward it, I can't do anything.

    Please add a "print log" function or permit the user to somehow get info out of the display window. I need to send the details to another person.

    Thank you.

  16. Updates Feed - need filter mechanism and ability to go back months in time.

    The Updates feed (box.xxxxx/updates) needs a filter mechanism for date/time range, user(s) or even specific parent folder (any activity in or under the specified folder). We utilize box for customer downloads of updates, and need to see when/if they downloaded. Also need ability to specify time range going back at least 1 year.

  18. Share folder as read-only/add folder to Box Drive from shared link

    Case:
    I receive the agenda and related documents for meetings within the department I work at as Shared Links to a folder in Box. I want to access these documents during the meeting directly through Box Drive on my computer. The desired access includes any documents added after I first opened the link. All related accounts are part of the same organisation/"Company" (in this case a university).

    Current situation:
    When I am signed into my Box account and open the link I can view the documents and have two options: "Save link" and "Download". The only way to get it…

  19. I want Japanese mark of a voiced sound in speech characters to be unified with NFC.

    I want Japanese mark of a voiced sound in speech characters to be unified with NFC.

    -Overview-
    example: the 'ga' syllabary series in the Japanese alphabet
    'ガ'is U+30AC on windows or unix/linux
    -> NFC(Normalization Form Canonical Compression)
    'ガ'is U+30AB U+3099U on mac OSX
    -> NFD(Normalization Form Canonical Decompression)

    As you know, mac OSX use only NFD.
    Windows use NFC usually, but NFD can be used at the same time.

    When trying to share BOX folder between Win and mac, Inconvenience occurs.

    -problem-
    First
    In Windows explorer, NFC and NFD are displayed as the same character on the screen, so they are…

  20. Disable integration email notification

    ForeScout currently has an integration setup with DocuSign to upload a copy of any completed PDFs to Box. When this occurs, we receive an email from DocuSign with the PDF attachment and also the below email from Box. This is the Docusign to Box integration. The email from Box does not provide detail around where the file was saved or a link to access it. Given that we have a rather high volume of these uploads, I was wondering if there was a way to disable email notifications like this.
