Request to improve behavior where updaters are visible only when operating from mobile
Hi Box Teams,
I would like to improve the following behavior.
Problem behavior:
If non-collaborators access the People with the link from Box's web app, they won't see who updated the file, but if they access it from Box's mobile app, they'll see who updated the file.
This problem occurs when a folder's co-owner or owner updates a file. If the user has the permission of the editor or lower, the user who updated the file is displayed as "Anonymous".
Expected Behavior:
Since we have set the folder so that only the owner or co-owner can see the information, we would like to not show the information of the person who updated the file, even if the access is from an open link, even if the access is from Box web app or mobile app.
Conditions for creating a problem
・The following folder settings are enabled:
[folder setting]>[Privacy]>[Collaborators]>[Hide callaborators and their activity from non-owners]
・A file with a shared link was last modified by the owner or co-owner of the folder.
・The scope of shared link disclosure is set in People with the link for files under the folder.
・Non-collaborators access the shared link and view it in the Box mobile app.
Specific steps to reproduce the problem:
(1)From a mobile device, a user who is not a collaborator accesses a shared link whose disclosure range is People with the link.
- At this time, if the Box application is not installed, the default web browser changes to the Box mobile site, where file information can be checked, but the name of the person who updated the file is not displayed.
(2) You will be redirected to the Box app. If you are not logged in, you will be asked to log in, so you have to log in to the Box app.
(3) Displays the contents of the shared link destination.
(4) Display "File information" from "..."
(5) "Update time" and "Updater name" are displayed in the "Change date" item.
- This problem occurs when a folder's co-owner or owner updates a file. If the permission is less than or equal to the editor, "Anonymous" is displayed.
I'm sorry to trouble you, but I appreciate your consideration.
Best
