  1. Add permission to grant user access to see (list) of folders and files but not preview any content within the files.

    This would provide awareness to the user that a file exists and they can then request preview (or other) access from the owner/co-owner.

  3. Allow to Update Description in the Upload Section in File Request via API

    We would like the ability to customize the description field in the Upload Section of the file request via API.
    Currently via API we are only able to update the Header and the Header Description and the
    description under the upload section is only editable via the webapp.

    We are looking to automate the file request via API from certain templates. Certain information will get updated depending on what template we desire which includes the need to update the description under the file upload but currently that is not available via API

  4. Ability to fix/default country code when requesting two-factor authentication

    When BoxSign requires two-factor authentication, there is a dropdown to select our country code.
    I would like a function to fix the country code to save the trouble of selecting from the pulldown each time.

  5. Restrict more special characters used in naming all uploads

    to have an account or folder level setting/configuration that will allow account admins to enforce MS windows file/folder naming restrictions for all uploads (This includes restriction that following characters aren't allowed: " \ / : | < > * ?. )

    We have a production issue where a partner is dropping folders in Box that do not meet Windows naming convention (they're using *) and that is causing a failure with download from Box.

  6. Displaying tags in grid view

    Tags are displayed in list view.
    It would be nice if it was also displayed in grid view.

    This is because we often use a grid view of photos.

  7. Changed conditions for sending invitation deadline notification emails for external users

    Currently, invitation deadline notification emails are sent to external users under the following conditions

    1. co-owner of the folder
    2. the user has been personally invited to the folder
    3. direct collaborators of the folder.

    Please change the specification so that notification emails can be received even if the user is invited as a group rather than as an individual under condition 2.

  8. Contact information options for outage notification

    During the recent outage, a notification was provided with the email address of our primary admin, which is a service account. This should instead default to our support contact information, as defined under Custom Setup. We currently have no option to change this behaviour.

  9. BOX Sign - Creating templates without attaching document

    We use BOX sign for approval of signatures in all types of documents. It would be a nice feature to be able to create a template for each approver without having to upload a document when creating the template. The only why I can accomplish this right now is to upload a blank document in the template. Then when I use the template I have to replace the blank document with whatever document that we need approval.

  10. Issue with File Viewing Recorded as Editing ファイル閲覧が編集として記録される問題

    I would like to request an improvement regarding the issue where simply viewing a file is recorded as editing. Viewing and editing are different activities and should be recorded and displayed separately.

    ファイルを閲覧しただけでも編集者として記録される現象について、改善を希望します。閲覧と編集は異なるアクティビティで、別々に記録・表示されるべきだと考えます。

  12. Request to improve behavior where updaters are visible only when operating from mobile

    Hi Box Teams,

    I would like to improve the following behavior.

    Problem behavior:
    If non-collaborators access the People with the link from Box's web app, they won't see who updated the file, but if they access it from Box's mobile app, they'll see who updated the file.

    This problem occurs when a folder's co-owner or owner updates a file. If the user has the permission of the editor or lower, the user who updated the file is displayed as "Anonymous".

    Expected Behavior:
    Since we have set the folder so that only the owner or co-owner can see the information, we…

  13. Allow groups to be specified as 'notified to' in Box Shield Threat Detection Rules

    Only user accounts can be specified for the 'Notification Destination' of the Threat Detection rules in Box Shield.
    Since maintenance is required when the person in charge changes, it should be possible to specify a group.

    ■In Japanese:
    Box shieldに存在する検出ルールの「通知の送信先」は、ユーザーアカウントのみが指定できます。
    担当者が変わったときメンテナンスが必要になるので、グループを指定できるようにしてください。

    Implement automatic compression of media files (especially videos) or the ability to stream compressed ones only during preview.
    Examples of requested features that are useful for business:
    Ease preview restrictions on media files.
    Eliminate the need to process files (separate or compress files).
    Reduce resources on Box and traffic on the network.

  16. We'd like to limit amount of metadata downloaded by folder GET operation

    We upload one or more files daily to the same folder so the content list of this folder keeps growing. In order to upload first step is to GET the folder by id. This step (https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id/) appears to download metadata of every file in the folder and there's no way to limit it. It ends up being completely unnecessary because preflight check (https://developer.box.com/reference/options-files-content) doesn't need any of it. So, there should be a parameter in folder GET to skip downloading so much metadata.

  17. API- Developer token

    Hi team, what would be great is to get the possibility when we develop an API to have a token valid for more than 60 minutes.
    Sometimes, to validate the principle of a dev, it's needs more than 1h
    maybe an other solution would be to create a private app with small validation as the purpose is an internal specific need.

  18. Select user group on BOX Rleay's workflow

    When creating a workflow using BOX Relay, groups cannot be set as recipients in the notification options. When notifying a large number of people, it is time-consuming to enter the address for each person, so it would be nice to be able to set groups.

  19. Having staggard jobs for high number of file transfer through box shuttle

    Currently box shuttle does not give the option to run the job either by size of data transfer or number of files.

    If we have the option to stagger the job by number of files or size or even system auto divides the job into sub jobs then data transfer can be even faster and more convenient to handle.

  20. Privileged Identity Management

    I would like to see the ability to apply PIM for Box Admin and Co-Admin roles; a mechanism whereby the Admin role is granted for a minimal amount of time based on the Just in Time principle.

    We would like to see minimum privileges, minimum time, and consistent with the company's zero-trust strategy.

    Box管理者、共同管理者のロールについて、PIMを適用できるようにしてほしい。Just in Time の原則に基づき、最小限の時間だけ管理者ロールが付与される仕組み。

    最小権限、最小時間を実現し、企業のゼロトラスト戦略との整合性を取ってほしい。
