  1. Move uploaded files (via an Automation) to different folders based on the file type.

    Use case: Users could bulk upload a range of file types (docx, image pdf, audio etc) into a single folder that redirects each file based on the file type to different folders for different skills processing.
    Example: a word doc and an audio file could be uploaded to the same folder the word doc gets auto moved to a folder that triggers a skill to extract concepts however the audio file is moved to a folder that triggers a speech to text skill (the text could then be auto moved to the same folder as the word doc for concept…

  2. For the Salesforce managed package, integrate with built-in merge funcionality

    Currently, within Salesforce, if records are merged, the link to the child Box folder gets lost and orphaned. The integration should hook into this out-of-the-box functionality to maintain data integrity for Box files on the platform.

  3. Add configurable governance alerting

    Add configurable alerting in an effort to preventing directory and permission sprawl or detecting anomalous access

    At this point we may require additional products or custom development to address this problem.

    An example of a real world problem is if Jane has two box accounts one managed by the firm and the second a personal account, there is nothing to prevent or alert us if Jane copies enmasse company property

  4. Add configuration to specify a folders data center

    Add the ability to allow files to be stored across multiple data centers. We have multiple offices around the world being able to locate the files closer to where they are needed will address our performance & availability concerns.

    This should be configurable by folder and inherited to the sub folders.

  5. Only allow submission of an invite form if the custom text length is acceptable

    Regarding the new 254 character limit on custom messages in collaborator invites:

    If there is an invalid email address in the top field, it is highlighted with a red message and the invite cannot be sent until the exception is fixed.

    If there is an invalid message length in the bottom field, then it should be highlighted in red and the invite cannot be sent until the exception is fixed.

    Or, just prevent that field from containing more than 254 characters. Some sites include a "remaining characters" counter next to the window to make this limitation clear.

    The current user…

  6. PLEASE bring back the pre-selected Share link

    PLEASE re-add the pre-selected text highlighting to the Share popup box weblink.

    Previously in Box, when you tapped the "share" button it brought up a highlighted, pre-selected web link that could simply be copied (Ctl-C) and pasted. You did not need to select this link, it was already highlighted for you, all you had to do was click Ctl-C (go to email), then Ctl-P to paste the link.

    Since the update, you can set so that the link appears, but this link is no longer pre- selected – you have to physically go to that link and select it with…

  7. ReadOnly Downloads

    Allow files to be downloaded via the API when the only Application scope checked is "Read all files and folders stored in Box". Preferably as well users should be able to go into the list of apps authorized to access their files and enforce readOnly access as well.

    It is a completely unnecessary liability for apps that only need to download files, and an unnecessary security risk for a User/Organization's data.

  13. Mask tenant ID

    We're concerned that the full tenant ID is showing in the admin console and could be compromised if the account has been compromised. We'd like to somehow hide/mask some part of the tenant ID like how a credit card appears (as an example) in any system where only last 4 digits are being shown.

  14. Serial skill execution

    Currently box executes all registered skills in parallel. In some cases it would be usefull to have the results of one skill feed another. This would require an order to be associated to registered skills, and a mechanism for signaling completion (which should not be metadata being written since there are cases where no new metadata updates occur or there is an error in execution)

  17. Custom Box Skills apps should have the same security options as regular apps

    Currently when you go into the development console, create a new app, and select "Custom Skill", the configuration section gives you a client ID. However a "Custom app" gives you a clientId as well as a client secret in the OAuth 2 section. I have a box skill that generates metadata as well as facilitates an integration with another system, requiring me to create a client (box sdk) in order to modify sharing on the file and generate a link to view in the portal.

    To get around this I created a second app (Custom App) just for the auth…

  18. Add field to see how a collaborator was added to a folder

    Currently the has_collaborations field with the API will show if a user was added as a result of inheritance (waterfall permissions) or if they were added directly to the specific folder, but there is no way to distinguish between those. For performance reasons and limit the amount of calls, it would be helpful if there was a filed that could be added to distinguish how a collab to a folder occurred

  19. Removing files from a single page of a multi-page folder shows confusing message

    After deleting all items from one page (of multiple) of a Folder’s content, the page says “There are no items in this folder.”

    This is not accurate since there are other pages of content within the folder.

    Can this be changed as it can be confusing?
