  1. Access policies for individual folders

    Would it be possible to set up access policies that can be applied per-folder instead of by Classification label?

    We have Ethical Walls and security concerns where we need to prevent sharing of files of Client A with Client B and also with preventing individual users from being shared folders.

    One way to do this would be classification policies - but I have far more clients than the twenty five label limit.

    The way around this would be to allow access policies by folder, regardless of classification, as well as the Box-wide access policy for unclassified content.

    Client A -…

  2. Please unify the order of folder names in the browser versions of Box and Explorer.

    In Windows Explorer, symbols can be added to folder names to make them appear higher in the list.
    For this reason, symbols are placed at the beginning of the names of frequently accessed folders for smooth access to the folders.

    However, in the browser version of Box, the rules for folder name order are different, causing confusion in operation.
    Please unify the order of names in Explorer and in the browser version of Box.

    Windowsのエクスプローラーでは、フォルダ名に記号を付けて上位に表示させることができます。
    そのため、頻繁にアクセスするフォルダ名の先頭に記号を付けることで、スムーズにアクセスできるようになっています。

    しかし、ブラウザ版のBoxでは、フォルダ名の並び順のルールが異なるため、操作に混乱が生じます。
    エクスプローラーとブラウザ版Boxでの名前の順番を統一してください。

  3. Create Custom File Request links

    Currently, today, you can create a file request link, which generates a 32 character alphaumeric string. I'd like the ability to create a custom URL (like I can with shared links) to make it easier to promote my file request links to my stakeholders and make them more rememberable.

    These custom file request links could have mandated security attached to them, either enforcing these to be only available to links set to "Require Uploaders to log in to Box" or (not available today in the product), enforce adding a password to access the custom file request link (see additional idea…

  4. List of Offline Folders in Box Drive

    It would be great to be able to see a list of folders marked for offline availability in Box Drive. We've had a few users who end up accidentally using up too much hard drive space, but can't remember exactly what folders they've marked offline. We end up needing to have them sign out of Box Drive to clear all offline folders, then sign back in and re-mark folders they need.

  5. Delete tasks once you have completed them, even if others on the task have not

  6. Not able to see all the overdue tasks for all users

    Currently I only can see the overdue tasks assigned to myself and the tasks I sent to others. We would like to see overall overdue tasks for all groups and other users. This overdue report is very important to our business process.

  7. Microsoft Teams iOS app does not open the specific Box folder.

    We're having an issue with Microsoft Teams app on iPhone - Box files plug-in within More tab. It is very possible that this Box Files button in Teams is not designed to link to the specific channel Box folder we have chosen, and instead is designed to redirect us to the All Files page "https://account.box.com/folder/0". On Windows PC, Teams app opens the the specific channel Box folder we have chosen.

  8. Box Preview should not show hidden layers in PDFs

    When PDFs have a hidden layer, Box currently still shows the hidden layer in the Box Preview.

    We provide people with Box Links that only allow them preview abilities. This means that people could be making business decisions based on invalid preview content. We need to have the preview show the same contents (although they can be rendered differently) as the download contents.

  10. Better reporting / auditing of folders marked for offline use

    Have better audit trails around the 'marked for offline use' feature. Be able to generate reports such as all the folders marked for offline use for a user and when they were marked for off line use (or 'umarked').

  11. Restrict Collaboration for Individual External User

    Customer would like to have the ability to block individual external users from collaborating on their enterprise content. The external domain allow list is too broad if only one or two external users need to be blocked from collaborating on content.

  15. Shared Links Report

    It would be nice to have options rather than just export as is. Similar to User Activity, the ability to at a minimum choose a start and end date would be extremely helpful. Currently, our report is not working. Having worked with Box support, they believe it is due to the size of the export. If this is the case, being able to limit the report timeframe, will help with the size. Thank you.

  17. folder report

    When running the folder/file report, provide a way to include ONLY the subfolders and not the files. Sometimes we need only the subfolder details and not the actual files in each subfolder.

    Box Notification on account (not email notification) for failed moves.

    When copying or moving a large numbers of files, sometimes those moves fail.

  19. For files, folders and users name, we need to use U+10000 - U+10FFFF in Unicode characters.

    Today, we can only use BMP in Unicode characters on Box.

    However, Windows OS supports many Unicode characters(eg, emoji), besides BMP, so this can be a problem in data migration from a file servers to Box.

    Also, in CJK, Unicode characters other than BMP are used in personal name, so we consider this to be a big issue.

    We hope to have many Unicode characters available everywhere on Box.

  20. Microsoft Sheet View

    I would like the sheet view that Microsoft recently released for excel online to be enabled. We share online files constantly and its extremely difficult to function when we cant filter without filtering for the entire group.
