Disable 'Upload via Email' Admin Setting Globally
Currently, the 'Upload via Email' setting (that's shown on the Folder Settings page) is always enabled, and admins have no way of disabling this setting globally in their instance.
REQUEST: Add a new option to Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Security -> Uploads that gives Admins the ability to disable this setting/option globally.

Fix Illegal Characters Automatically When Uploading Via FTP
FTP uploads currently allow illegal filenames or unsupported characters in filenames. This triggers sync and file errors in Box Drive.
7 votesThank you for your request. However, this is not something we will be focusing on this year. We will revisit this with additional demand.

Direct DICOM upload endpoint desired
Our admin would rather not use the DICOM import tool to upload DICOM images to use with the Viewer (and they don't have a PAC server). We're also uploading non-DICOM files that are relevant to the study, so having two separate UIs for an upload is inconvenient.

Global ability to lock all files that are opened
We want all files "locked" when opened so that any other user would be notified that the file is opened by another user and they can look in "read-only" view.

Provide event trigger for renaming a file for webhooks.
Create a script to automatically rename files that have had their name changed. This would be easier if there was an event trigger so that we could proactively run the script using a web hook.
We can run a script once a day or something to do this based on a lookup table with folder IDs and the names we are SUPPOSED to have.

The ability to add an auto-expiration on specific external collaborators access to a specified file or folder.
I would like an Expiration option date picker to be added to the Collaboration Invite window. This will allow our company to let a user privilege expire without us being forced to expire by auto-deleting a folder, or sharing a link that expires but can also be shared with others in the meantime.
16 votesUnfortunately this is not planned in the near-term, but please do keep adding use cases so we can consider this request for the future.

Box-Notification header - Suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary
Extend the Box-Notifications header to suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary via API. This header only appears to work when adding or deleting users email aliases, and the documentation on docs.box.com is not specific as to when this is supported.
This functionality is required to silently mass update users email addresses.

API endpoint to return ALL objects (recursively) but simplified to create browser tree
I am using the jstree library in my application to create a full browser tree of a user's BOX resources. Please create an endpoint to return ALL objects (recursive) available to an authenticated user inside one root folder . These objects would only require the object ID, TYPE, NAME, VERSION and PARENT(parent-id as string instead of parent object). The jstree lib can take this data and create an entire file browsing tree and then users would call up more information when they click on an object. This would greatly reduce the number of API calls to your server and…

Copied photos do not carry any of the comments made on the original file.
Comments that I have added to photos do not remain when I copy those photos to other folders within box. This is terrible as I now have to go through all of the copied photos for a second time and manually add all the comments that are associated with the original picture files.
Please fix this.

Ability to restrict Uploader permissions from being able to see file names in folders
We have folders where different companies can submit content via the Uploader collaborator permission. Because there are different companies submitting into the same folder, we do not want collaborators to see what others have uploaded.
This is not a virtual deal room/bid room in this specific case.
0 votesWe will not make a special collaborator role for this. Our recommended way of doing this would be to use the Upload Widget.
