  1. Geographic activity report needs some serious geolocation / ISP attention

    For organizations that actually care about their security, they probably find value in the reports Box can generate related to user activity, which includes the useful geographic activity report among others. I had high hopes the geographic activity report would make for a very easy way to screen out a ton of valid activity, leaving just things to investigate. Unfortunately there's several issues I've run into that make it difficult to impossible to easily screen out what is actually valid activity:

    1) geolocation doesn't seem to be accurate when it comes to certain internet providers, including mobile, satellite, and airplane.…

  3. Removed Collaborator Report That Show Affected Folder Path, Folder Owner, & Link To Affected Folder

    Recently, my company ran into an integration bug between Okta and Box, which result in a mass deprovisioning of users account. We were able to reprovision user account fairly quick but there as a mass folder permission lost.

    If the user permission was granted via a group, all permission was successfully restored. However, if the permission was granted individually, that permission was lost. Ticket was open with Box support to request for assistance with folder permission restore but they could not help.

    So the next best thing was try to run "User Activity" report on "Removed Collaborator" on the service…

  4. Add list of Groups user is currently a member of to the Managed User Screen

    In the "Edit User Access permissions" section of the Managed User page, there is a list of all the groups and a column to indicate if the user is a member. Admin must scroll through all the groups (1000's) to find which groups the user is in.

    Would like to see a separate section that just lists the groups the user is currently a member of.

  5. Display first two letter when user name set in Japanese in user icon

    Display first two letter when user name set in Japanese. Current behavior: first Japanese letter display twice. For example, user name in Japanese is 高橋 一郎。User icon will be 高高. This does not mean anything to Japanese user. Rather, customer expect to display 高橋 in user icon.

  6. Include all services that triggered actions in User Activity Reports

    For User Activity Reports, include all services that triggered actions, since some actions (Download, Undelete, and Trash) do not always include the service involved in the report.

  7. Ability to review all external users permission levels

    We would like the ability to review all external users permission levels. I was thinking of an interactive way to filter and search. For example: On the Users and Groups section open the list of External Users. It would be nice to see their assigned permissions here. Then be able to filter to show those who have editor rights, or search those who have email domain = sample.com. Then you could interactively edit.

  8. Delete accounts on "Inactive" status

    I’m hoping you can allow us to delete inactive account regardless of what is in their trash can, that’s just ridiculous. Please make this change so we can self- manage our Box accounts.

  9. Ability to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group

    Ability to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group.

    I file the request on behalf of the customer.
    The customer would like to control access to Box Mobile App per User/Group but it seems that Box can only disable Box Mobile App per Enterprise at this moment.

  10. Disable File Request Feature in Enterprise Settings

    We would like it if in reporting, we could get some more information when a shared link has been modified. As in, when it changes from “Item Share Updated” to actual details about what happened to the shared link. The verbiage could mean a number of things, and it makes it unclear to the admin what happened. A few of the things that this can mean are: Access type changed to people with the link, access type changed to people in your company, access type changed to invited people only.

    Use case:
    When security requests reports on links set to…

  12. Folder tree reporting based on user permission

    Cannot run a folder tree report out of the admin console due to size constraints. We wants to see folders, “where user is the owner or co-owner.”

  14. See all current Box downloads in Admin Console

    I'd like to see a page in the Admin Console that shows all of the Box download files, like for Box Drive and Box Edit, with their current version numbers.

    Please start including the version number in the download files so you can know what version you are downloaded without having to install first.

  15. Show list of co-admins

    In the admin console > users & groups, it would be helpful if more than three co-admins were listed in the panel on the right side. Currently, even though I have more than 3 co-admins for my Box instance, only three of them show up in the list of Co-admins on the right side.

  16. Group creation next or finished button

    When creating groups, I need to click back on groups to create a new group. When just starting with Box I had to create over 50 new groups and it would have made the job easier having a pop-up or a button asking if I want to create an additional group, or am I finished.

  17. Visual rep of all folder paths

    Reports: Provide a visual map of entire enterprise folder trees. An "org chart" of folders.

    When I run a report to provide managers of their data and where it's stored, it's a 10000+ line Excel file that share a path for lines and lines. Can this data be translated into a visual chart? Would be much cleaner. Thanks.

  18. Shared links control for primary admin

    Create a primary admin only setting that will delete all shared links for an entire enterprise. Trying to enforce an expiration date for all shared links in the enterprise and all the current solutions are not scalable and are very time consuming.

    With the latest update - you can't change file name until you make the printing really small. Please stop making so many updates without testing them first. I'm a paying customer.

  20. Hide Folder (and nested folders) in UI

    When using Box for NetSuite V1 we were able to hide the entire NetSuite folder from the UI so that users could only access the content via the NetSuite UI. V2 doesn't have this option, which means that users can see any folders they were ever able to access in NetSuite, even if their permissions have since been restricted.

    We should be able to have folders accessible through the NetSuite UI only.
