  2. Child Sexual Abuse Material

    Apple's recent announcement of measures taken to improve child safety (https://www.apple.com/child-safety/) have raised an important concern about content stored in Box and what measures we can take as an enterprise to address it. While there does not appear to be anything that we can do at this point, perhaps adding a feature in Shield that provides MD5 pattern matching (similar to known malware scanning) that would allow administrators to be alerted when this kind of material shows up in their Box instance.

  3. End to end encryption for storage and shared links

    End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is one of the most popular security trends lately, and if Box offered this functionality, it would be very popular, especially for audiences who have a strong affinity for privacy and cryptography.

  4. Cryptographic Erasure

    Following NIST 800-88, we need the ability to 'destroy' certain high sensitivity data. Cryptographic Erasure is one of the options, basically encrypting the data and then losing the key. Until then, certain research projects and grants that require data destruction or DoD level erasure (and we are seeing lots of boilerplate contracts with that requirement) will not be hosted in Box.

  5. Extension of the "Auto-Delete" Period

    The BOX "auto delete" function for folders must accept a period of 100 years. It is currently limited to 85 years and I need to keep some HR files for a period of 100 years by definition of control and security. I request the extension of the term from 85 years to 100 years.

  6. 2 factor authentication

    Just been chatting with the support guys ... When turning on 2FA, the first log in prompts for the auth code. However, every login after that drops back to just asking for username/password. (unless you clear your browser down every time !)

    for 2fa to be effective, the system should ask for the auth code at every login otherwise there is no point in enabling it.

  9. Set "SSO Required"/"SSO Enabled" for each user

    The current "SSO Required" is for all managed users.
    When creating "administrator user and general user" as a managed user, there are the following problems.
    -It is necessary to create an administrator user ID on the IdP side.
    -When accessing as an administrative user, it takes time and effort to log in from the IdP and access Box.
    -A license fee will also be charged on the IdP side.

    If we can set "SSO required" and "SSO enabled" for each user, the problem will be solved.

  10. Separate Device Trust settings for webapp on mobile browser vs desktop browser

    We want to have a separate Device Trust setting for webapp on mobile browser and desktop browser. We would like to enable Device Trust for mobile browser only (that is, block webapp on mobile browser) while not requiring Device Trust check for login from desktop PCs. Currently, there is only a single setting for webapp and 3rd party apps. We would like this to be more granular and have a separate config for mobile browser and desktop browser.

  11. SSO exception

    Ability to have exceptions for SSO for specific amdin accounts/test users. Use case: there's a series of admin accounts we use that own folders/content in Box but aren't actual users. Now when we want to turn on SSO - we now have to have OKTA accounts for those accounts and test users, when we'd prefer to just do Box 2FA for those vs. SSO enabled for all

  12. Two factor authentication as standard for business customers

    Two factor authentication is the standard for securing accounts. I was therefore surprised to learn that enforcing two factor authentication on the business subscription package is not an option. Requiring two factor authentication is only available on the top enterprise price plans.

    This is disappointing, as it means businesses customers who use Box, their staff can bypass any requirement to use two factor authentication. It increases the risk of a breach of company data due to a bad password practices by an employee, like using the same password across many different services. Without two factor authentication the company data is…

  13. Include device identification in Device Trust logs

    We think it would be valuable to be able to identify a specific device failing Device Trust. Either MAC address or computer name would be useful. Computer name would be the preference.
    This to positively identify the device end users are using to connect. As we were implementing Device Trust we ran into numerous situations where end users were connecting from multiple devices and not transparent with us that they were using multiple computers.

  14. Allow One-Off Reissue of Custom Terms of Service in Box

    If a user ever rejects a custom terms of service, they are not able to access Box or attempt to connect via the collaboration link. It seems that they could try again in 30 days (we have not tested, this is way too long to wait for a time-out).

    The only resolution to allow the single external collaborator to "reset" the ToS and accept them to sign in is to disable and re-enable custom ToS for all users.

    This is a major problem - we should not have to revalidate all ToS for EVERY user to resolve an issue for…

  15. New Authentication Process at sign in

    The new authentication process is forcing us to use two step authentication even with our ATB Email address' every time we enter or come back after a period of time.

    I am really hopeful that this is being looked into as its the most inconvenient. Our CSR's do not have business devices for google authenticator nor does the text feature seem to work to the branch office phones and when you ask it to call it takes a bit for the phones to ring and connect and cuts half the message off so we don't get a code. This is…

  16. Password Requirements - customize min required characters

    Password Requirements -> Minimum required characters -> only has the options of 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12. We would like to be able to set this character as 9, or any number in between 6-12.

  18. keysafe

    Box keysafe requires the use of a specific AWS region, but from the perspective of disaster response, we request that the service be deployed in multiple regions.

  19. Show the password when typing to avoid typo's

    Add an option for the user to see the password they are typing to avoid typos when sending to the client. At the moment, there is no option to see what you have typed until the client is telling you that the password doesnt work. Especially with caps, symbols etc.

  20. Co-Owner should be able to confirm the destination of the file (or the user who operated it)./Co-ownerにもファイルの移動先(あるいは、操作したユーザー)確認をできるようにしてほし

    We know that if we want to know where a folder has been moved to, we can ask the administrator to output it from the report.
    However, We would like the Co-owner to be able to check the destination of the file (or the user who operated it) in case of urgency.

    (In Japanese)
    フォルダの移動先を知りたい場合、管理者に問い合わせる事でレポートから出力する事が可能である事ですが
    急ぐ場合にCo-ownerにもファイルの移動先(あるいは、操作したユーザー)確認をできるようにしてほしいです。
