  1. Re-add 'Print' option to Shared File / Folder pages

    The legacy Shared File/Folder page had a native 'print' button on it. However, this Print option was removed on the new version of those pages.

  2. External link white-labeling

    Due to the sensitivity of our work (along with many other firms) we cannot externally share sensitive documents from our Box instance that includes our brand assets (logo).

    To address this issue, we generally open free accounts, where they can share private files that do not include their logo.

    Please allow for the customization of these links.

  4. Ability to opt-out or disable presence for a user or enterprise

    Admin would like the ability to remove presence for her account as she doesn't want her activity recorded for other users to see.

    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

  5. Admin report or interface showing exactly where in a given file the Upload Policy was violated.

    We are leveraging the Policies engine to create Upload Policies to detect and prevent PII from being uploaded into Box. When the upload policy exception is triggered, we would like to see a report or somewhere on the screen exactly where in the document the file violated the policy.

    Ideally, by knowing what exactly triggered the policy, we would then use the 'Mark as False Positive' feature in the Content Manager Quarantine location to improve the Policy Engine's accuracy accordingly.

  6. Include link to folder/file shared in admin email notification for sharing policies

    Currently, the email notification for a sharing policy only shows who sent the collaboration invite and to whom rather than showing the content that was shared. This requires an admin to pull a collaboration report each time to verify what was shared.

    While the request here is clear, this is not planned on our roadmap. The workaround would be to alert a set of admins on the account and have them deactivate or make the user inactive.

  8. Introduce a combination of version labels and version dependent permissions.

    Compared to legacy ECM systems, versioning in box is limited to data states over time. There is no notion of a document lifecycle attached to a certain version (WIP, draft, published).

    The mandatory check in/out of legacy ECM makes the system very user unfriendly. However, it would be nice if we could somehow label certain versions. The list of labels could either be fixed, or user definable.

    If we combine this feature with a new permission: "view documents with status published", we could now have one directory where people work on their documents, but external people would only see the…

  9. Notify all collaborators who are affected by automatically disabled shared link

    When shared links are expired, only the item owner is notified. "affected users" only include folder owner

  11. Drag and drop into subfolders

    This functionality was available in the old UI but not in the new UI. It is causing a lot of extra work for our admins.

    They now have to click down directly into subfolders before they can drag and drop to upload the files in the correct folder.

  12. Allow admin exceptions to enterprise settings that restricts external link creation

    We deal with sensitive financial information and would like the highest level of restriction.

    However, we'd like to add an admin exception to restrictive settings.

    For example, we'd like to have a zip file for a program that is accessible via open shared link owned by the admin account.

  14. Just in time User Provisioning / Licensing

    The current way of licensing is old school. Instead, you could leverage Okta's just-in-time provisioning: https://help.okta.com/en/prev/Content/Topics/Security/Security_Authentication.htm?cshid=Security_Authentication_JIT#Security_Authentication_JIT

    Then (with SSO required & on the fly), Box grants everyone in an org an acct after logging in thru SSO, they're auto-provisioned a Box instance, and a license is registered/"billed" to company.

  15. Provide event trigger for renaming a file for webhooks.

    Create a script to automatically rename files that have had their name changed. This would be easier if there was an event trigger so that we could proactively run the script using a web hook.

    We can run a script once a day or something to do this based on a lookup table with folder IDs and the names we are SUPPOSED to have.

  16. Add SHA1 hash value to event stream for applicable events

    We have built a custom event stream logging application to maintain a local database of shared links and their targets. We would like a SHA hash to be added to the event stream for applicable events (shared link create, file upload, file download, etc.) to ensure we can identify uniquely the file version in use in a defensible fashion.

  19. Redirect collaborator invite email links to ent.box.com as opposed to app.box.com for enterprises that have Box Verified Enterprise enabled

    Currently, when a managed user in the BVE-enabled instance invites an external collaborator into a folder, the invite email takes the collaborator to app.box.com to login.

    This redirect action, however, will fail with external collaborators who are in China.
