  1. Read only access to Admin Console

    To allow the worker's council to read the settings the admins make in Box, we need a read-only admin role.

    This would allow the worker's council to control what the admin are doing, without giving them the ability to change those settings. We don't want to give non-admins admin privileges.

    This helps us being a) compliant with the WC and b) be transparent to our colleagues.

  2. Auto Expiration of Collaborations

    For automatic expirations of external collaborators:

    Add criteria to automatically remove an external collaborator after they have not accessed content for X amount of time instead of a fixed day amount. This way, after an external collaborator has not previewed a piece of content in X amount of days, they will be removed. Makes it less manual to extend external collaborators if the system is removing them for us because they are not accessing a folder.

  4. Ability to copy the Enterprise settings that are set in the production instance.

    We wants the ability to copy the Enterprise settings that are set in the production instance. We also wants the ability to copy the sandbox settings to the production instance.

    We want to copy from the sandbox to the production instance to minimize the risk of work leakage during the production release.

  5. Please improve how admins can build and share folders

    As a new Box admin provisioning our environment I would love to see an improvement on how admins can create and assign access to folders. Simply creating an admin tab where the admin can view all folders in the environment and create, delete, and assign access to would be perfect.

  8. Improve exported report by showing both moves into and moves out of the folder.

    If you run a User Activity report for a single folder using the 'Moved' filter and click 'Run,' the in-browser run of the results will show moves both into and out of the folder you selected.

    If you build a User Activity report with the same parameters and click 'Export,' the generated spreadsheet of results will only show moves into the folder.

    The report would give more thorough information if the exported report showed both moves into and moves out of the folder.

  9. Export list of tags

    We would like to be able to export of list of tags used in a given folder. Ideally, this would be in the form of a spreadsheet or Excel file that aligns tags to a file names. Also, a restricted tags list (i.e., “select only from the drop-down,” or words not on the approved tags list will not be able to be used) would be most helpful.

  10. As an admin I like to be able to search on a folder ID in the admin console

    I just had a user with only a path to a folder with an id (https://company.app.box.com/folder/123456789) for example.

    I didn't have access to it, so I was wondering which folder it actually was.

    I couldn't find a way to search for the ID in the admin console, so I could find the real name and owner.

    My suggestion is to have a search field in the admin console where you can put the Folder ID and it returns the full path and owner.

  12. data quota inconsistency

    Provide admins to be able to correct the issue that appears to happen quite a bit with our users data consistency. e.g users box quota is showing incorrect data than box has for them. user sees 25GB used but Box thinks it is 50GB.

  13. I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder

    I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.

    When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
    1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
    2."Invited users only"

    Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
    1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
    2."Company users", "Invited users only"
    3."Invited users only"

    If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you…

  14. Ability to filter events by "Affected" on user activity report

    We would like to have the ability to filter events by "Affected" column (currently, user and affected folder/file are only available filter options).
    For e.g., for "Add login app" event, device information is logged in "Affected" column, and so having this filter option will help us identify new login from unintended devices and improve monitoring.

  16. Allow classifications to only be visible and usable to some users.

    Allow classifications to only be visible and usable to some users. We use classifications and access policies for specific domain whitelisting. We currently do not allow external collaboration with personal webmail domains for obvious reasons. But some departments like recruiting would need to share content with personal webmail domains. We would like to create a classification/access policy combo that permits this but is ONLY visible to specified users/groups. Thinking of a option like how you can whitelist relay and other features for certain users. Have that same option with classifications. That way the whole org can't use that classification just…

  17. Allow the ability to save a set of parameters to routinely run the same report

    It would be very helpful to be able to save a set of parameters to use to run the same report over and over with different date ranges/on different days.

  18. bulk edit

    I would like you to add the "Notification Email" item to "Bulk Edit".

    It would be very helpful to add "Notification Email" to the items in Bulk edit in "Admin Console> Users & Groups> Bulk edit".

    If the administrator can register the settings of the notification e-mails of the managed users by bulk editing, the efficiency of the administrator will increase, and the security of the
    e-mails will be better than allowing each user to set up the notification e-mails.

  19. Improve the de-provisioning process in Box

    Improve the de-provisioning process in Box so that old content isn't stored when it's not needed, and if it is needed, the right people are taking over ownership of the content. Workflow should look something like this: -User leaves company and is removed from AD group or marked somehow as "removed" -Collaborators on their shared folders are notified that they should take ownership of the folders, if the content is still needed. For example "you have 30 days to take ownership of X folder." -When they click to take ownership, the folder/file is now owned by them and other collaborators…
