We need a more granular privacy option for Box folders.
When Folder Settings → Privacy → Hide collaborators and their activity from non-owners is enabled, Editors, Viewers, and Previewers see “Someone” in the UPDATED column instead of the real person who last updated a file or folder.
We need to retain this privacy setting because limited-access users must not be able to see:
The collaborator list
Other collaborator names
Viewer or previewer names
Recent-activity avatars
Content Insights or Access Stats
Download, preview, or view activity
However, they need to see the identity of the single user who most recently updated each item in the folder list.
Please add a separate Folder Privacy option such as:
“Show last updated by name to non-owners”
This option should affect only the file/folder list’s UPDATED field. It must not reveal the collaborator list, historic activity, viewer/previewer identities, access statistics, Insights, comment authors, or Version History contributors.
Business need: In compliance, invoice, diligence, and document-control workflows, staff need basic accountability for the latest change. Today Box forces us to choose between protecting user privacy and knowing who is responsible for the most recent update. We need both
