Add User Email Address to 'Account Creation Notification' Emails
PROBLEM: Admins in Box have the ability to receive emails when new accounts are created (via the Account Creation Notification setting in Enterprise Settings -> Security). However, this email only includes the NAME of the user, not the user's email address.
REQUEST: Add the email address for the user to the email (next to the name) since names are not unique within a company (but emails typically are).
1 voteThis is a reasonable request. Thank you for filing it! We will reconsider this with additional customer demand.

Link to directly open file in Box Edit
We would like to generate a shared link that automatically opens a file with Box Edit
1 voteThanks for your note!
This runs against our design philosophy of the Web App experience where everything can be achieved in the browser.

Force the Box iOS / Box Android / Box EMM applications to re-authenticate more often than every 60 days.
Ideally, we would like for the timeframe to be user definable.
This is an important security requirement for us as we move into supporting non-GFE devices, so please do let us know if you need additional information.
1 voteThe mobile app is built on top of our APIs and therefore adheres to the standard token durations. Applications that are managed through an EMM provider already provide an advanced level of security that reduces overall risk.
As a workaround, through your EMM provider, you could revoke the Box application and force users to reinstall on whatever basis you deem appropriate.
Some providers may also allow you to revoke the managed app config which will force Box for EMM to log the user out.
At some point, however, you would have to push the managed app config back down to the device.

Add admin setting to change default view for user folders to descending.
Create a setting in the admin console to automatically be able to enable descending order filter for all named files for the whole enterprise. This way each user doesn’t have to do this individually.

Auto Provisioning for Japanese name (lastname->firstname)
When Auto Provisioning option is enabled, the user's name is set "firstname lastname", but we hope to have "lastname firstname".
Currently, Japanese users set firstname information to "lastname" and lastname information to "firstname" in SAML Response.
Firstname and Lastname should be separated like in Salesforce.
1 voteThanks for filling this. Because there is a workaround (though not ideal) to this issue, we are not likely to prioritize this request.

Ability to get all folder/file information by "Splunk Add-on for Box"
When we tried to get all folder/file information in our Box environment, Splunk can't get it because the "Splunk Add-on for Box" package simply gets information only of the API key user who is actually an super admin.
if all folders are owned by a super admin, there is no issue. However, we allow all end users to create their own folder on root level.
1 voteSince this app is owned by Splunk, Box has no control over additional features. Please send this request directly to your Splunk account team to get this prioritized on their roadmap.

Provide a Box Note Realtime API so we can create new Box Notes from our custom apps
Our users would like to be able to create a new Box Note from their own custom app menu bar.
This note would be saved in the folder from which they clicked the icon.
1 voteThank you for your note! This is not planned for the foreseeable future. We will re-evaluate this request with additional customer demand.

"Failed logins" on Enterprise Settings should clear the number of failed login when a user logins successfully
Currently, the number of failed login piles up even after a user logins successfully. It's strange, so it should be cleared when a user logins successfully.
1 voteThis is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature.
-
Ability to create a custom group name that will be displayed on the collaborator list without affecting the SSO integration
Currently, groups only have names unlike user accounts that have names and aliases. However, since we have SSO groups enabled, we have found that is impossible to rename groups without causing issues.
Because of SSO groups, we had to have a specific naming convention for our groups so we can know which groups to send to Box. All our group names begin with COMPANYBOXPD and then the corresponding team name. Since these groups are shown as collaborators, it will be nice to be able to edit the group to display a user friendly group rather than the technical…
1 voteThank you for the submission! This is a reasonable request. However, we will need to hear from additional customers before prioritizing this request.

Pre-Render Previews After File Upload
Currently, Box will only go through the 'generating preview' process when the first user goes to Preview a file.
Request: pre-render files once uploaded such that users (even the first to preview a file) don't have to see the 'generating preview...' progress bar anymore.
1 votePre-conversion (converting the file when it’s uploaded) will only benefit a small amount of users. We will revisit this if user behavior changes.

Bring back "updates" tab to monitor activity
Using updates tab to see changes in account at a high level.

Allow Use of Office Online Integration without O365 Licenses
The Office Online integration currently requires all non-Personal/Free Box users to have an Office 365 license in order to use the integration. This request is to allow ALL Box users (not just Personal/Free) to use the Office Online integration regardless of whether the user/company has Office 365 licenses or not.

Support for Differential or Bit-level Sync
We would like support for Sync to recognize differential changes made to a document and only sync the changes, instead of the entire document, especially for large documents.
1 voteThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

This is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

Rule based approvals
Based on metadata or classification of the workflow, a different set of (or more) approvers may be required

Automatically change file modified date upon upload if modified date is out of range and upload fails
We are trying to upload files that have a modified date of year 1600. We would like for Box to automatically change the modified date upon upload instead of the upload failing
If files have a modified date outside the UNIX range (1970-2038), the upload will fail.
1 voteThank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.
