  1. UI for Legal Holds

    A piece of UI feedback on legal holds: the buttons “release” and “report” are quite close to each other, but do drastically different things. While there is a secondary confirmation screen, it still might be useful to create more physical separation between the two to prevent mistakes.

  2. Recommending update for "Understanding Collaborator Permission Levels"

    I really appreciate the "Understanding Collaborator Permission Levels" article:

    https://community.box.com/t5/Collaborate-By-Inviting-Others/Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels/ta-p/144

    We send users to this page all the time to help them understand Box permissions.

    However, one thing that has caused some confusion is that there are security settings at the Enterprise level and at the user and folder level that can impact an Editor's ability to "Invite Collaborators".

    I think it would be nice if there was a footnote on that grid that alerted people to the fact that there are security settings that prevent Editors from being able to issue collaboration invitations.

    Thank you

  5. A method of Direct message or chat to a user.

    Besides notifications, we would like to have a way to DM or chat a user about changes to content.

    Comments are limited in characters and will also appear to others. This is why we would like a way to message a user directly within Box.

  6. Treat .todo files as plain text

    There is a plugin for Sublime Text that lets you create .todo files for task lists. These are just plain text files so it would be great if they could be previewed and treated as plain text. I'm mainly interested in being able to use the versioning to see the history of these files.

  9. username

    "Copy Local Link" in the right click menu.
    There is a "Copy Shared Link" in the right click menu that creates a link to the file or folder on the Box web. I would like a similar function that creates a link to the local file system, replacing the first part of the path with "%USERNAME%" or "%USERPROFILE%". With this function it would be possible to send links to files in the local file system.

  10. Allow setup quota for Box Driver(Mac)

    Currently there's no way in Mac to check my Box driver's quota setting, nor allow me change it.
    Please open this feature to us. I want to use that to control my Mac's disk usage, especially when I need to upgrade my Mac to latest OS. I need to release my disck space for upgrading.

  11. Python example for "create upload session" is wrong

    The Python sample for "Create upload session" seems wrong:

    What you provided is:
    filesize = 26000000
    upload
    session = client.file('11111').createuploadsession(file_size)

    But it should be:
    client.folder('11111').createuploadsession(filesize, filesize).

    Please check and confirm.

  13. Box Passcode Screenshot Issue Resolution

    On the Box Android App when you set a passcode it does not allow you to take a screenshot of any document. You have to go remove the passcode to take the screenshot and then go back and set it again.
    This is beyond tedious and unnecessary and some other workaround to be able to do both has to be given. I want to have the ability to have security (passcode) and take screenshots.

  14. Message on page timing out / becoming inactive

    After a certain period of time with no activity, the Box web tabs in the browser become inactive / time out (but not the overall Box session). So users try to upload content or complete other actions but are not successful and don't find the reason why.

    It would be good to add a message in the tab when this happens prompting users to refresh the page in order to keep working on that tab.

  15. preset email address in the sign-in dialog in Windows

    When using Box Drive on Windows, i would like you to preset email address in the sign-in dialog.
    The email address can be get from the domain user's mail attribute.

    This is mandatory in environments where SSO is enabled/required.
    In the case of Box webapp, the IdP's authentication screen opens just by pressing the continue button once.

    However, in the case of Box Drive, you need to enter an email address to open the IdP screen.
    Also, IdP may ask you to enter email address again.

    The sequence of entering this email address hinders the user experience.
    We would like…

  16. New functions in Folder settings

    -To add some new functions in the folder settings, so that collaborators will be deleted automatically when moving folders to another folder.
    -To add some new functions to the folder settings so that users will be able to change roles like the Privacy settings. We want to control collaboration using roles on the the upper folders. However, in this case, folders which are not intended, can be created in subdivided folders. If any files were moved to subdivided folders accidentally, the file can be visible from users who are not intended to.

  18. Consolidate and replace

    Edge case failure! :
    1) Upload testXMovie.mp4
    2) Upload testYMovie.mp4
    3) UPDATE testYMovie.mp4 by uploading testXMovie.mp4 again

    Upload fails without solution or description.

    Better: "The file you are uploading TestXmovie.mp4 already exists in this folder. Would you like to replace both files with this one? (or cancel)"

  19. Trial

    You could not block the interface with your checklist. I can't use the interface because the checklist is in the way.
    Make it dismissable. Maybe pop it up if you log in, but don't have it covering part of the interface and allow it to be dismissed.

  20. I would like to automatically set some options when creating a Box user. This is more about options in the Account settings.

    We are currently provisioning automatically BOX users via our IDP and SAML assertion.When a user is added to an Active Directory group, his BOX account is automatically created.

    I would like to automatically set some options when creating a BOX user. This is more about options in the Account settings. For example : country, number of lines displayed by page, default homepage…

    Having particular attributes or API calls to manage these issues would fulfill the need.
