  1. Allow http://127.0.0.1 as redirect_url in published box apps

    It is currently disallowed to use redirect_urls of the form http://127.0.0.1 in published apps.

    These give the error "insecureredirecturi".

    These are allowed in unpublished apps.

    Having a redirect to 127.0.0.1 is very useful for native apps which run on the users computer (eg rclone https://rclone.org ).

    It is pretty much impossible to do https to 127.0.0.1 - you can't get a valid certificate for it. See this link for details: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/ - and also for reasons why using http://127.0.0.1 is treated as secure by browsers.

    I'll describe how rclone, a native CLI app works. Rclone runs on the…

  4. We would like the ability to put a specific Matadata as our home page.

    We would like the ability to select certain Matadata as our home page. This would allow for us to really customize our home page to our specific needs and the ability to adjust it easily, vs using the favorites.

  5. Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors for Owner/Co-Owner and Editor

    Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors.
    Share for Owner/ Co-Owner and Editor also includes the ability to Invite

    Share for Viewer Uploader and Viewer only allows you to share a link to people in the folder. So essentially they can only ’share’ with people it has already been share with.

    I’d like to see either:

    • Add Invite as a descriptor for Owner, Co-Owner and Editor > I like Invite as it is explicit OR
    • Change Share to Share Link to Viewer and Viewer Uploader > still a little confusing because you can’t really share w/ anyone that does not already…

  6. Create new permission level to allow sharing without destructive privileges

    Create new permissions levels in Box to provide more flexibility:

    Permissions/ Roles (ie. Editor, Viewer, etc.):

    There is no ability to add someone to a folder and allow them to Invite other persons without giving them destructive permissions > Edit and Delete (Editor Role) >

    Viewer Inviter (not sure I like the name, but it goes well w/ the previous request) > Upload, download, preview and Invite

    This would allow the user to invite others, but not have destructive permissions. I could actually make two new roles and change Viewer Uploader:

    Editor Lite > Upload, download, preview, invite, share and…

  8. Report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.

    We would like to be able to automatically mark a user on Box as inactive. Also, would like to see a report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.

    One example would be the below:

    I'll give you an example - we have integrated our AD with Adobe, so that when a user is disabled in AD, their Adobe product licenses are also automatically removed and therefore available to use for the new users. We add users to security groups in AD to assign the licenses. When the Adobe connector pulls the user data…

  9. Display pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started

    Please display a pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started (or in other words, users are able to open contents).

    We own a lot of content - this makes Box Drive take a long time checking the updated contents and starting up.
    This is causing delays of Box Drive being launched.
    If a notification pops up when Box Drive is ready to start accessing contents, users would not have to check the status of Box Drive so frequently.
    Instead, they could work on other things while waiting for Box Drive to start.

  10. Ability to restrict fonts based on OS across all platforms

    Wants a setting to restrict the usage of characters that are restricted in the OS. for example, Box webapp allows more characters that Windows OS allows. This result in inconsistency when using Box Drive, what appears in Box Drive and what actually exists in Webapp.

  11. Create Outlook anomaly detection

    Build out an Outlook feature or compatible security product that can impose rules on content categories that can alert the appropriate individuals of anomalies or misuse before the file leaves the company’s boundaries in the email program.

    There is First and Last name filed available now when Admin create Box user. When customer integrated with SSO in Japanese, active directory name will be used. However, some Box user will communicate with oversea members, they like to use English name, not Japanese name which synced with Active Directory. So, please add additional filed for user name.

  15. Option to only have selected users have access to BOX mobile.

    We currently store extremely sensitive information within our BOX system and due to the sensitive information we have disabled the option for BOX to be on any other devices other than desktops, for all users. Is it possible to create an option that would override this option to allow only selected users to have mobile access?

  16. Create a new Folder and name it, without having to click in the box to type.

    It sounds small, but when you create a new folder and the window pops up to name it, you have to either hit tab or click into the type box to name the folder. The type cursor should just automatically be ready. It used to be this way until a few updates ago.

  17. Last Mile File Security (When moved out of Box)

    Last Mile File Security (When moved out of Box)

    Box is a reasonably safe platform for file security. However, when a file moves or downloads out to a user device it drops the security controls in box.

    Can there be control when the file of specific classification moves out, the downloaded copy of the file is encrypted and open to the recipient only after box authentication.

  18. GDPR- PII Detection

    Increase PII detection templates from just three Social Security no, Credit card and Custom text to more as offered by other DLP products in the marketplace.

    In addition to real-time detection, also allow discovery of the legacy data utilizing the same templates. Notification on detection could include an on-screen warning/ policy tip in addition to email and file quarantine options etc.

  19. Device Pinning as a condition for "Download Restriction"

    Wondering if "device pinning" can register details of devices utilized by the user and allows/disallow the login from it. Why cant it be used as a condition under "Download Restriction". MDM solutions are not yet fully matured to cover all & frequently changing devices types .

  20. Preventing Business file leak from Private folder.

    Box in our tenant provides a "Private folder", to every user, which doesn't allow the user to add collaborators. User can, however, use box link to share files with others.

    In a corporate setting, this folder is supposed to be accessible only by its respective owner( an employee), On an exit of the employee from the organisation, the private files in the folder may be allowed by the organisation to be copied/taken by the employee along. However, at the same time, it must be ensured that the business files are not stored in this folder to avoid leakage.

    I suggest…
