  1. Being able to sort by created date instead of modified\updated.

    Would be super helpful for people storing photos. If we snap a photo on our phone and then upload it to box in bulk, the date the picture was brought into box is the date shown. It would be nice to sort by file created date. You already have this date in the "file information" section when you right click on a file. Please make this available and let me know. Please please please.

    thanks

    Natalie.

  3. Comments / Tasks from Desktop (Box Drive)

    In order to currently leave a comment on a file we have to right click on it, click on view on Box drive, which opens chrome, loads the file, then click on the comment icon on the right and then leave our comment

    A quicker and much simpler way of doing this would be to bring in comments and tasks into the box drive app to save us all of those steps of having to do this through our browser. There are a couple ways of doing this

    1) Bring in notifications, tasks and a comment stream into the system…

  4. Improve Box Drive memory usage

    Box recommend 4GB of RAM as minimum system specifications. But 4GB of RAM is not enough since Box Drive tends to use more than 1GB memory when a user open folder which has a lot of items. Therefore the fetching function should be improved to run efficiently on 4GB of RAM

  5. Folder-Level Collaborator Reporting: Ability to run a report of which internal and external collaborators are added to an item

    Users should be able to run a report of any folder they are an owner or co-owner of to see the list of external collaborators. This would be nice so they could periodically review it and remove stale collaborations.

  7. Subject Access Request reporting

    UK users need to be able to provide Subject Access Reporting (by law). Everyone is entitled to a copy of their data held in the system.

    Box needs to be able to report on that. Search (content and/or metadata) will provide the results, but we need a list of this content in a report as well as the ability to download all this content in a zip file.

    See specific GDPR requirements here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organizations/guide-to-data-protection/principle-6-rights/subject-access-request/

  8. Suffix Match on titles (a form of Wildcard Search)

    We need this feature for legal eDiscovery purposes.

    We were doing some file name search testing, and we found some odd results based on our filename searches.

    If the filename was alphaomega and we tried searching for omega the search does not pull up any results, but searching alpha does pull up the alphaomega files.

    Thank you for the feedback. We have noted this feature request and understand the value of this feature. Unfortunately, it is not on the current roadmap.

  9. Automatically remove external collaborators at the folder level

    We want the ability to automatically remove external collaborators after a certain period of time, and we want to be able to customize this depending on the folder in question.

    Currently, we can expire external collaborators at the global Enterprise level but this behavior isn't desirable across all folders.

    We want to be able to set external collab expiration at the folder level with the ability for different folders to have different expiration periods when the collaborators would be automatically removed.

    Thanks for the feedback! However, this is an edge use case which would add complexity to the product. We will review this with additional demand.

  12. Groups cannot be collaborated via API without Manage groups scope

    Users cannot add groups to folders via the API like they can in the UI without special 'manage groups' scope, which is essentially an admin scope. One direct impact with this is that it prevents our mobile app from having invite parity with our web app,

  13. Provide a safe way to re-verify already-registered domains

    The only current self-service workaround is to delete and re-add a domain to trigger DNS verification. If the domain is already in active use, this carries a risk of operational disruption. We request a way to re-verify a registered domain without removing it, eliminating this risk.

    This would allow admins to resolve verification issues more quickly and safely, without introducing unnecessary risk into the production environment.

    (In Japanese / 日本語)
    安全に登録済ドメインのDNS検証を行う方法を提供してほしい

     現在Box社依頼なしでできる対処法は、登録済のDNSを一旦削除→再登録によるDNS検証実施だが、そのドメインが既に利用されている場合、業務影響を及ぼす可能性があります。 そのようなリスクを伴わない方法でドメインを再検証できるようにしてほしいです。

    これにより、管理者は本番環境に余計なリスクを持ち込まずに、検証上の問題をより早く安全に解消できるようになります。

  14. Allow for Duplication of Automate Workflows and Creation of Automate Templates

    Currently, Relay has the ability to duplicate workflows, but Automate does not. We can also create templates for Relay workflows, but not for Automate. Automate should have the same capabilities.

  16. Improvement of API performance and creation of guidelines for API usage

    When utilizing Box’s API, if the amount of content per folder is enormous or the number of invitations to a folder is high, the processing speed drops significantly. As a result, it takes a long time to complete operations, which is quite frustrating.

    We would like the API to deliver a more comfortable and speedy processing experience, so I hope you will improve the performance when using the API.

    Additionally, there are currently no guidelines regarding API performance, so we have no choice but to verify performance degradation through testing.

    This is hindering proactive API development. Please create clear guidelines…

  17. We want to change the owner of a file in the trash

    There is some content that we do not want to completely erase, but we would like to change the owner due to capacity issues.
    Therefore, we would like to change the owner of the files in the Recycle Bin.

    ごみ箱内のファイルを所有者変更したい

    完全消去はしたくないコンテンツですが、容量の問題で所有者を変更したいコンテンツがあります。
    そのため、ごみ箱内のファイルについて、所有者変更がしたいです。

  18. Feature to Search Including Past Versions with Box AI

    Box AI for Document can only provide answers from the latest version of the stored content.
    For example, if someone other than yourself updates a document you created the previous day, you would need to manually open each version of the file and visually check for changes, which is time-consuming and may lead to missing unnoticed changes. It would be convenient if Box AI could extract only the sections with changes by comparing with past versions.

    We would like to see an enhancement in the AI's capabilities to retrieve data from past histories and provide answers.
    In that case, it…

  19. We want BoxRelay to work with the privileges of the user who actually started the workflow, not the user who created the workflow.

    In the current specification, workflows in BoxRelay operate under the authority of the user who created the flow, not the user who executed the flow.
    This causes confusion because there is a discrepancy with the actual operation performed. We would like to improve this so that Relay can correctly confirm who started the flow.

    【日本語】
    BoxRelayについて、ワークフローを作成したユーザーではなく、実際にフローを開始したユーザーの権限で動作させたい

    現在の仕様では、BoxRelayのワークフローは、フローを実行したユーザー本人ではなく、フローを作成したユーザーの権限で動作するようになっています。
    これでは実際に行われた操作と齟齬があり混乱を招くため、フローを開始した人が誰なのか、Relay側で正しく確認できるよう改善を希望します。

  20. To terminate a document management system and manage documents only with Box.

    Currently, version control is possible only on a single file basis.

    For document management, version control is necessary to manage mulitple files as a single content.

    (in Japanese)
    【文書管理システムを廃止してBoxのみで文書管理する】

    現在バージョン管理はファイルごとでしかできません。
    複数のファイルを一つのコンテンツとして管理できるバージョン管理が必要です。
