    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

  2. Admin report or interface showing exactly where in a given file the Upload Policy was violated.

    We are leveraging the Policies engine to create Upload Policies to detect and prevent PII from being uploaded into Box. When the upload policy exception is triggered, we would like to see a report or somewhere on the screen exactly where in the document the file violated the policy.

    Ideally, by knowing what exactly triggered the policy, we would then use the 'Mark as False Positive' feature in the Content Manager Quarantine location to improve the Policy Engine's accuracy accordingly.

  3. Include link to folder/file shared in admin email notification for sharing policies

    Currently, the email notification for a sharing policy only shows who sent the collaboration invite and to whom rather than showing the content that was shared. This requires an admin to pull a collaboration report each time to verify what was shared.

  4. Allow owners to permanently delete content even if it is in a folder that is under retention policy.

    Allow owners to permanently delete content even if it is in a folder that is under retention policy.

    Legal would like owners to have the ability to still purge content when necessary (without moving the content to a different folder).

    While we have considered retention policies that do not block early deletion, this is not something we plan on pursuing right now.

    The original purpose behind retention was to support highly regulated use cases. With more customers requested this “non-regulatory mode”, this may become prioritized later.

    While the request here is clear, this is not planned on our roadmap. The workaround would be to alert a set of admins on the account and have them deactivate or make the user inactive.

  6. Notify all collaborators who are affected by automatically disabled shared link

    When shared links are expired, only the item owner is notified. "affected users" only include folder owner

  7. Box for Drones

    We would like to use drones to monitor our warehouse yards and put that security video in Box. Please also machine learning to make the video searchable.

  8. Drag and drop into subfolders

    This functionality was available in the old UI but not in the new UI. It is causing a lot of extra work for our admins.

    They now have to click down directly into subfolders before they can drag and drop to upload the files in the correct folder.

  9. Allow admin exceptions to enterprise settings that restricts external link creation

    We deal with sensitive financial information and would like the highest level of restriction.

    However, we'd like to add an admin exception to restrictive settings.

    For example, we'd like to have a zip file for a program that is accessible via open shared link owned by the admin account.

  11. Just in time User Provisioning / Licensing

    The current way of licensing is old school. Instead, you could leverage Okta's just-in-time provisioning: https://help.okta.com/en/prev/Content/Topics/Security/Security_Authentication.htm?cshid=Security_Authentication_JIT#Security_Authentication_JIT

    Then (with SSO required & on the fly), Box grants everyone in an org an acct after logging in thru SSO, they're auto-provisioned a Box instance, and a license is registered/"billed" to company.

  12. Ability to upload hundreds or thousands large files at once

    Since this is understandable behaviour, it would be great if the app could tell the user to limit the amount of documents.

  13. Provide event trigger for renaming a file for webhooks.

    Create a script to automatically rename files that have had their name changed. This would be easier if there was an event trigger so that we could proactively run the script using a web hook.

    We can run a script once a day or something to do this based on a lookup table with folder IDs and the names we are SUPPOSED to have.

  14. Add SHA1 hash value to event stream for applicable events

    We have built a custom event stream logging application to maintain a local database of shared links and their targets. We would like a SHA hash to be added to the event stream for applicable events (shared link create, file upload, file download, etc.) to ensure we can identify uniquely the file version in use in a defensible fashion.

  18. Disable notification triggered by integration or specific collaborator

    We are using Druva to back-up the data. But Druva downloads all the data and triggers large amounts of email notifications. We want the ability to disable the notifications for actions triggered by the integration

  19. Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality

    Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:

    templateKey = template
    filters = {"value": 2}

    Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.

    a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.

    b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…

  20. Support opening apps from App Gallery in a new tab or window.

    With 141 pages of apps in the marketplace, if I page through and find an app that I want more detail on, I click the app link (I cannot open this in another tab or window).

    This takes me to a page with more detail on the app. However if I go back to the marketplace, it takes me back to page 1. I then have to page through scores of views just to get back to where I left off.
