  4. Show “Invited by” in collaboratos list

    When there are lots of co-owners we need to know who invited collaborators (Internal and External) to the folder, for security reason and to track unwanted invitees and their inviters. There is “invited by” in Collaboration Report. Please show that also in collaboration page.

  6. Updated field in List view should be the same as the updated field in metadata.

    When data is migrated by migration tools, the updated field in metadata is set as the last modified date of local file.
    But the updated field in list view is shown the date of update to Box.

    It makes a customer in confuse. So, the updated field in list view must be the same as the updated field in metadata.

  7. Show roles/permissions table when configuring the collaboration

    Previously, we were able to see the table and easier to compare the roles.

  8. Make Shared link pages/views customizable

    We would love to be able to adjust the view of certain links that are being shared out to users who don't have a Box account. Make the banner customizable so we can direct them more appropriately, and allow the buttons to be altered such that the login and sign up buttons may be hidden, and only the download button remaining in view.

  11. Sharing folders takes too many clicks

    It takes too many steps to share. When box first came it was awesome- 1 click to create a folder and 1(2?) clicks to share. Now it is 5 (five!!!!) steps to be able to put the folder link into "pasting" into email position. Why are you yet another company who along with increased success make it worse for its users? And contacting you regarding this issue is such a hassle- there is no direct "contact" information to voice this issue. That communicates that you really show no interest in us users.

  12. Allow collaboration with secondary email addresses/alias

    Our users have email addresses ending with <company name>.bw and the UPN is ending with <company name>.com.

    Box treats <company name>.com and <company name>.bw as different IDs and Box only logs through SSO, so account is validated through UPN only which is <company name>.com.

    When users login with <company name>.com they are able to login to box but they are unable to see the files which have been shared with <company name>.bw id.
    When any file/folder is shared with <company name>.com id users do not receive any email because the primary SMTP has been setup with <company name>.bw.

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. 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.
