  2. Auto overwrite if the file is uploaded with the same name in the folder via File Request.

    In the current spec, the file with the same name in the folder is uploaded via File Request, the file name is automatically changed to containing date and time.
    I want the option to overwrite the file when it has the same name of existing files.

  3. File Request Email Validation

    Provide the ability to have the email address provided in a File Request form to be validated either generically to make sure the email is a real address or to require them to authenticate themselves. This is critical for organizations that have strict security and compliance requirements and can't accept the risk of someone getting a hold of the File Request link and uploading malicious content or inundate their folders with nonsense files.

    I suggest customers look into Shield, a newer Box offering that provides malware detection. If turned on, it scans all content uploaded to Box including the ones from file requests (as well as any file when it's active - e.g., on preview, share, edit, copy, etc. events)

  4. Pre-defined reporting

    Request for Box to create pre-defined reports. Currently, we have to input criteria everytime, reallocate the parameters and reset it up again. Goal is to have admin be able to pre-populate a report thats saved and say run it every Sunday night. Any thought to utilizing Relay to run Manual Start, predefined reports?

  5. Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity

    When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
    However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
    We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.

  7. Universally apply multiple templates to a file

    Universal metadata fields:
    Today, metadata tagging is not universal. This customer sets the metadata tags for particular folders, and one of the universal tags is Community Name. They want to set up that metadata list on multiple file hierarchies; but they can't currently use the same metadata lists over and over again.
    Not every employee can see entire file structure; it's not owned by one person; when you define metadata as a list in Box - you apply it at a folder level, but we have non-overlapping folders that need same metadata.
    A metadata template can be applied, but within…

  8. Open Shared Link Admin

    On the "My Account" in the Web App, I would like to see a list of all open shared links created and owned by my account in Box. I'd like to be able to delete the shared link or change its settings, from Everyone with the Link to Company & Collaborator for example. This feature will enable users to have greater insight into what they have shared and what risk this may represent to their organisations.

  9. Require Passwords at Admin Level

    As a security feature, it would be helpful to require passwords for all shared links. Right now they are only required at the User level and it is optional. It would be very helpful as a security feature to allow admins to mandate a password for all shared links.

  10. Custom Terms of Service - Prompting External users to accept terms after change to terms

    It has been noted that if the text of theCustom Terms of Service is changed for internal users, internal users are prompted to re-accept the new terms. However for external users, if the text of the terms is changed, the external users is not prompted to accept the new terms until they are invited to a new folder. Can the external users be prompted to accept the new terms once the text is changed?

  11. Allow "character sequence" searches

    If I want to find all instances of "book", I do not want results that include "books" or "bookmark". In other normal searches, I would enter "book " with a space before the closing quote, however this does not work in Box's search.

    https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Files-and-Folders/Search-for-Files-Folders-and-Content/ta-p/19269

    The link above refers to this as "word sequences", but they don't work in this case. I even opened a ticket with Premier Support, and they said it couldn't be done, and to request the feature here. According to the link above, what I want is a "character sequence" search.

    Boolean doesn't work here because I'm…

  12. Ability to hide feed updates by folder level

    Like others have mentioned before, Feed can be too busy to make it useful. There are many folders I am invited in where I don't need to see updates. It would be useful to have the ability to silence those folders on your feed so you are only getting updates from the folders you are interested in.

  13. Box reporting dashboard

    1. Total No of Box Folder
    2. Shared Link counts
    3. Shared Links without password count
    4. Shared Links without password expiry
    5. PII sensitive count
    6. PCI sensitive count
    7. Collaborators count

  14. Shield reports suspicious IP location when opening files through O365. Adds lots of unnecesary noise

    In Shield, when a user previews/opens a file to Office Online it tracks as a suspicious IP location. It would be great if it could be separated and designated a lower priority than a genuine account compromise. Just a suggestion to clean up the Shield alert queue

  15. Ability to select a Box folder by dragging and dropping in Box for Slack

    With the current design of Box for Slack, user cannot select a Box file without clicking on the upload button. User wants to select a Box folder by dragging and dropping.

  16. Request to suppress collaborator invitation emails.

    When needing to invite a single user into multiple files and subfolders within a given folder, but not into all files in that specific folder, we'd like to see a way to suppress the email notifications that are automatically sent to that user each time the collaborator invitation is sent.

    Currently there is no way to choose to not have the email notifications go out and then it inundates the user's inbox.

  18. Enhance relay feature

    Relay limitations:

    Not being able to tie outcomes from one flow to other outcomes from other flows all within the same workflow. Dynamically having related outcomes is critical to Relay’s usefulness.

    Cascading folder metadata not being brought over when copying a file.

    Having a third option for approval tasks (approved with feedback/conditionally approved).

  19. Allow me to link to other folders and files in box

    I can create a bookmark to another folder in box, but the experience and visualisation of these is not useful - links to folders get lost in the file list.

    Bookmarks to other folders in box, should be listed as a folder, not a file, perhaps with a different icon to show they are linked folders rather than hierarchic folders.

  20. Apply DocuSign account settings

    When using the DocuSign integration, account settings such as reminders settings or attaching the envelope completion summary (or upload onto Box) do not apply as they would if a user sends an envelope by logging into the DocuSign web app. Additionally, the interface when using the integration differs from the standard DocuSign interface.
