  1. Quarantine Folder Customization

    We'd like additional customizations for quarantine files including search, notifications, and outreach to folder owners.

    Is there a way to notify the folder owner and co-owner if an item is quarantined? We don’t see anything in the Admin Console to set that.

    Alternatively, is there a way to customize the quarantine email to add a contact instead of “your administrator”?

  4. Increase the start-up speed of Box Drive. It is SOOO slow to start!

    Every time I have to restart my computer it takes Box Drive a good 5-10 minutes to start. This is unacceptable for such a large enterprise like this. Even accessing my offline files cannot be done until Box Drive completely starts.

  5. scan .bak files

    For heaven's sake allow box to scan .bak files - it's practically the only reason I'm using box! What's the point of a cloud back up system that won't back up backup files!!

  7. We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive.

    We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive. We encountered an issue and confusion with Box Drive. One day, Box Drive didn't start up. We assumed that the shortcut icon on the desktop wasn't working properly. Therefore, we went to [C:\Users*UserAccount*] and found a shortcut icon which was exactly the same as the one on the desktop. We thought this icon was the shortcut to Box Drive, so we moved this shortcut icon to the desktop, and all of a sudden, the contents in Box were all moved to…

  8. We would like the the ability to submit request/cases from within the admin console with an admin login.

    This is very helpful if an admin has to provide permission for features or requests to the support team.

    Allow file owner to configure movie / audio files to auto play, as soon as the preview file is being opened by others. (instead of showing Play button to be clicked)

  10. automated report options in box

    It would be great in Box to be able to set up reports we need on a recurring basis to run ron a recurring basis as needed rather than having to manually run the same report each time we need. If this feature could be implemented, that would be wonderful.

  11. Box Shield

    Can we have more granular on the detection rules, e,g, down to user groups, or individual account level - allowing customers to set priorities as high for some user groups, but low for others.  For some users, a customer may expect high levels of downloads/activity in Box and this may be in peaks and troughs - therefore potentially a lower priority, whereas with execs this activity should be treated as a higher priority and greater risk.

  12. I would like to be able to turn off pop ups in Box

    As I open and close files, I get pop ups that I have to close. I have tried to block them with browser settings, but that does not help. I want to be able to turn them off

  13. see folder in file properties

    When I send a colleague an email from Box (by @Name in a comment), the email contains a link to the file, but no info on the location of the file within our folders. If I'm asking that person to change the file's tags, they have to hunt for where the file is located. If they could see the location from the file properties, they could get right to it.

  15. Visibility and controls on externally owned content

    Box admins should be able to restrict their users from uploading or moving sensitive content to folders that are owned by another Box instance. There should be controls around what defines sensitive content. Box admins should have visibility into what's uploaded or moved into the external folders in reports.

  16. Automatic retry on files with upload errors

    Currently if there is an issue with a file upload (the one I'm currently running into is the "File may be locked or in use" error) Box Sync requires a manual step where you click the Retry button in the Box Sync tray icon context menu.

    This is problematic for me because I'm trying to full automate our build pipeline. In my scenario we generate a nightly build, zip it up and copy it to the Box Sync folder. The problem for me has been that it appears that Box Sync is a bit too hasty and attempts to upload…

  17. Separate set of granular controls for Box for Mobile and Box for EMM in Mobile Tab of Enterprise Settings

    Use case: Company uses MDM provider in tandem with MFA. Presently, the Mobile tab applies to all mobile applications. They need much stricter settings for MFA users than Mobile Iron users (e.g. only allow upload/view files)

  19. Your email reminders to setup 2FA are too aggressive

    Over the course of 6 hours (during the night), I received 5 emails asking me to 'Set up 2 Factor Authentication'. This is quite aggressive.

  20. RSA Archer Integration

    Trying to understand if Box can integrate into RSA Archer (a Governance, Risk, and Compliance tool). We have been unable to find any information on whether Box has this integration and if not what one could look like.
