  1. Allow Recents to be filtered via API

    Currently Recents is implemented globally across all Box content the user has access to. Ideally, Recents could be filtered to some ancestor folder IDs (like Search is) to show Recent items only within a particular folder.

    The use case is a custom application which is integrated with a company's primary Box instance. A custom app wanting to leverage the Recents feature does not have a way to get Recent items relevant to just the application content.

  2. Setting which prevents users from being able to delete commenting

    Business unit has a requirement to prevent users from deleting comments to comply with audit requirements.

    We were suggested using user activity reports to see when people had deleted comments, reactively - but we do not want to build a process to generate a user activity report to reactively investigate a case.

    We had a similar “Like” feature for files and it was confusing and not helpful for our users.

    We would need to understand why a user would need this and how it would benefit the work they are trying to get done.

  5. Choose document quality and size upon upload

    For photos and videos you can choose whether the size is small, medium or large. It would be great to have this functionality available for documents as well.

  8. Allow admins greater control of Box Edit upgrade process

    When Box Edit automatically upgrades upon the release of a new version, there is no way for Admins to stop it and then allow the update at a more optimal time. This can be very troubling for companies with large deployment with the .MSI.

    After installation or an upgrade, a user needs to either manually launch Box Edit.exe and Box Local Com Service.exe or log out of their user account and log back in to get the processes running.

    At a large scale, this just is not practical and causes a lot of confusion for users and admins alike.

  9. Removed cached files when file uploaded and closed

    We use a Citrix system and would like to reduce the number of cached files e have stored after using Box Edit. We would like the cached file to be deleted after the user logs out

  10. Box Drive Login Authentication status window

    User would like to have a status window to display the authentication process of Box Drive. This would make it more visible to the more basic users since the login process only shows in the system tray icon.

  11. Change save behavior for users with read-only access (Viewer)

    Change to save to desktop instead of Box folder and/or change prompt that file cannot be uploaded to appear after a longer interval or display as a problem file

    Our user is extremely annoyed by the prompt telling them the file cannot be uploaded repeatedly (every 3 seconds).

  12. Add "Shared Link" or "Copy Link" option from the search interface

    Instead of having to right click for more options, add this to the right sidebar or to the search interface. Otherwise, all we think we can do from the Box Drive folder is open a file.

  15. Allow users to manually prompt Box Drive upgrade from the Drive menu.

    If a user's machine is running, they will receive the prompt to upgrade to a new version, even if they are not actively using their machine. This will cause users to miss the upgrade prompt for 24 hours.

    We would ask that messaging is added to the Drive menu letting a user know that a "new version is available." If they click this, they will again receive the prompt to upgrade.

  16. Control when/how Box Drive updates are deployed

    End users don't have local admin rights, so IT has to frequently add the new installers to JAMF and SCCM policies

  17. Drive: Option to disable update notification

    We have a very restrictive policy and require only specific version of software to run on end-users computer to minimize risk with incompatibility.

    Box Drive does not push out update silently but does give out update notification to end users so they have the choice of update.

  18. Add installer flag to disable first launch after install

    Admins deploying Box Drive may want to push out Box Drive to users who are currently using their machine and do not want to alarm users with Box Drive suddenly appearing post-install.

    Add an installer flag admins can use to disable the post-install launch. Box Drive will auto-launch at the user's next login

  19. Add global setting where you can set folders on global level to sync to desktop

    Currently have app that sets certain folders for offline access but would like to do that within Box as a global setting to set certain folders/files available for offline access.

  20. Relaunch Box Drive After Auto Update

    These updates do not notify users when done. Can this be an enhancement so users know when to start Box again?
