User management settings in mobile app
We would like user management access within the mobile iOS app. We would like to be able to reset a password on the fly as well as deactivate someone quickly if we are not near our computer.
1 voteThank you for the suggest! This is not an area in which we will invest.
App usage would be sporadic and would not drive engagement as much as dedicating our resources towards our existing apps.

IP Whitelisting - ability to block WebApp except Box for iOS/Android
IP Whitelisting - ability to block WebApp except Box for iOS/Android because Device Trust cannot configure it.
1 voteThank you for your feedback. This is not planned for now due to other priorities.
We will evaluate this again with renewed customer demand.

Custom messages, settings and language depending on geography.
We need a different trash setting to the global instance due to european law.
We would also like to push different messaging, welcome screens, languages to dependent on regions for adoption purposes.
1 voteThis is not currently planned on the roadmap. The suggested workaround is to manage different users in different EID.

The ability to limit the options for extending the retention period
We only want content to live in Box for a set period of time and want to limit the ability for content owners to extend retention after period is up.
1 voteThis is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers. We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

Ability to Obsolete Folders & Notify Owner
Add an option under the folder settings ([?] button), under Sharing, add an item for Obsolete Folder which upon selecting would go to a simple page stating that clicking Ok will notify the Folder Owner(s) that you believe this folder is obsolete and should be deleted.
Additionally, when selecting Remove, to Remove as Collaborator, that page can also have an option to notify the Owner(s) that the folder looks to be obsolete and is suggested to be deleted.
1 voteThis addresses a narrow use case without adding value to a significant amount of our users.
There is also a current way to achieve this by emailing the owner to ask them to delete the folder.

This is available to set up in a custom environment. However, we do not plan to create an in-product solution to address this need.

When the Allow Content to be Deleted by Users option is selected, allow admin to customize follow-up reminders
For a retention policy, the retention notification is sent to the owner 14 days prior to the expiration date. It looks like this is the only reminder the owner receives.
REQUEST: When the Allow Content to be Deleted by Users option is selected, all admin to customize follow-up reminders to the Owner/Co-Owners once the retention period has passed. This option does not auto-delete the content so reminders would help ensure that they review the file and delete if necessary.
1 voteThis is an interesting use case. We will re-consider this work if we find it has a large impact on a substantial amount of our users.

This is an interesting request! However, we have not prioritized it in the short term.
With additional customer feedback, we may reconsider in the future.

Add Templates to the 'New' Button
We often work with very templatized documents on Box.
REQUEST: Add the ability for admins or users to define or 'save' templates to their 'New' menu in Box.
1 voteUnfortunately, due to competing priorities, this is not currently on our roadmap.

Thank you for this suggestion. It is a niche request and I am not sure which problem it solves. We will reconsider with additional use case and demand info.

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.

Policies: Add Ability to Apply Them Only to Selected Users/Groups
For some use cases, we would like to enable a Policy (Upload, Download, or Sharing) in Box, but have that Policy scoped to only apply to certain users/groups.
1 voteThank you for this note!
This is a feature we’ve considered in the past but do not plan to build in the short term. This may become a higher priority with more customer demand.

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.

"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.
