  1. 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.

    Thank 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.

  5. Rule based approvals

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

  7. 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.

    Thank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  8. Ability to see additional info from a shared link (file/folder owner, parent folder/location, etc.)

    Oftentimes, users get access to a link that is shared with them via email, chat, etc.

    If the owner or the file is deleted, moved, or transferred, there isn't an easy way to identify where the file lives and who owns it either from an end user or admin perspective.

    Currently, we have to reach out to Box Support to look up the file ID or shared link to get this information.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

  9. Upload notifications should notify user of uploads even if their account is the one uploading to a folder

    User has set their folder settings to allow notification emails for a certain folder. She only gets email notifications when other people upload to that folder and not when she does. She would like to be able to receive notification emails when she uploads to the folder.

    We will need additional use case data to understand the problem addressed by this feature.

  11. Auto-redirect to Box account after logging in once and typing in Box.com in the address bar

    One of our users does not like the fact that Box auto re-directs to his Box account after logging in to his browser once, then opening up a new tab and typing in Box.com.

    Example:

    1. Login to Corporate account
    2. Open new tab/window and type http://www.box.com and hit enter
    3. Page loads to corporate Box account and does not allow me to go to box.com public website

    It could be addressed by an intermediary page that offers both options, or it could be addressed by identifying that the user is logged in, still navigating to the path requested (e.g. Box.com) and then…

    This is a rare use case where a logged in Box user wants to see the public website.

    Given the relatively minor affected population, we will not introduce friction for our product to solve for this use case.

  12. Customize shared link expiration for collaborators

    When folder owners choose to extend collaborator expirations clicking on the Clock icon, it will only extend the preset period.

    I see the value to track the history of the settings but it is not on the roadmap due to other priorities.

  15. Drag and drop files from Box into a document

    Our users have all of their content/ media files/ images stored in Box. They routinely drag and drop images to a document (PPT, Word etc.) to prepare docs.

    Right now, unless users sync all their files, they cannot drag and drop the file into a document. They have to download it and then add it to doc.

    Thanks for the feedback! There is no workaround for this use case at this time.

  16. Add 'trusted websites' to suppress the 'Leaving Box' interim step

    When users click on a bookmark that takes them to an external website, there is an interim page that requires them to 'click continue' to verify they trust this website and are ok with 'Leaving Box'.

    Request: Provide admins with the opportunity to input which websites allow their users to bypass this interim screen as a 'trusted' website.

    This interstitial (‘leaving Box’) page exists due to some requirements from our Security team.

    Providing a whitelist for companies to use is not a feature that the Web App team will be prioritizing in the near future given other commitments.

  17. Ability to support previewing dynamic HTML5 files

    Our marketing team would like to deliver dynamic HTML5 collateral that includes animated components.

    Ideal scenario is to have the sales team be able to present content directly from Box (via tablet) without the need of a third party solution.

    Introducing additional solutions opens up more risk in terms of sensitive content leakage.

    At this time, the mobile team has several higher priorities, but we can re-examine this with additional customer demand.

    This is an edge case request. We will reconsider if there is additional demand.

  19. EMM Multi-Window Support for iPad

    I need to be able to open multiple documents and easily switch between them with tabs (like iOS Safari perhaps) and I often need to display two documents side by side or have two views of the same document.

    During our investigation we determined that this flow was not a highly desired capability for how users currently want to work in Box. It would also require a shift in how our application was build.

  20. Query-less search

    Add intelligent search by location, date, etc. but the Search API requires a query. I recommended setting the query to the file extension.
