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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:
- Login to Corporate account
- Open new tab/window and type http://www.box.com and hit enter
- 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…
1 voteThis 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.

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