Hi team,

Submitting this feature request in behalf of user, requesting to add their visibility to extend auto collaboration per specific folders only.

There's a similar post on this subject, but not exactly the same. We can set an expiration date for external collaborators at the enterprise level, which is essential to security, and should be set as the "default" setting at the enterprise level. However, there are certain circumstances where a folder would need to be shared long term with many people, and the Box owner account should have the ability to do one of two things, or both:

We know that each collaborator's time can be extended; manually, and individually. In our case, we have 130 external collaborators on one folder, and because they are our customer, we cannot disrupt the workflow, inconvenience them, and let their access expire. The folder owner will need to manually edit access 130 times, on 130 different collaborators, every 60 days to extend their access. That is an unnecessary amount of work, and we cannot compromise our security standards to never let access expire over the entire organization just to accommodate this one folder.

1.) The Box Owner account, and only the Box owner account, should be able to bypass the Enterprise level setting to customize specific folders. I see the answer on another post is that this need is rare, and adds unwarranted complexity to the system. But, this is not rare; it's a document sharing system, and that's its sole purpose. Even if this functionality were only able to be implemented at the root folder level, that would at least provide a workaround for these instances.

2.) If the expiration date can't be managed at the folder level, then we should be able to bulk-manage external collaborators on the folder level. I should be able to select all external collaborators on a folder, and extend their access in one action, instead of 130 individual actions. It's difficult enough to need to do this every 60 days, but also having to repeat this 130 times warrants moving to another system to accommodate our needs.”
