  1. Open Shared Link Controls: Only [specified roles in the folder] can create open links

    REQUEST: The ability for admins to choose which roles (Editor, Viewer Uploader, etc.) are able to create open ('people with the link') links in folder they're in.

    Currently, if you are a collaborator with permissions to create/edit a shared link, you can choose any of the 3 shared link permissions levels.

    ADMIN STORY: "I want to require that only Co-Owners in folders can create open shared links. Editors and below can create shared links, but they won't be able to chase the permission to 'people with the link."

    CONTEXT: Many large enterprises, and even smaller ones with a security focused…

  4. Viewers Bulk Downloading with Watermarking Enabled

    Enterprise is providing Viewer access level to multiple external users for a folder containing files that require bulk download option.

    The bulk download option is not available to internal or external users when the Watermarking feature is enabled for that folder and users have 'Viewer' access.

    We don’t plan to currently support this, as most customers would find it problematic if a user could simply turn on the smallest possible security measures and thus receive a “valid” device.

  6. Add SHA1 hash value to event stream for applicable events

    We have built a custom event stream logging application to maintain a local database of shared links and their targets. We would like a SHA hash to be added to the event stream for applicable events (shared link create, file upload, file download, etc.) to ensure we can identify uniquely the file version in use in a defensible fashion.

  8. Require password when sharing with external users

    There is a regulation in Japan called the privacy mark, where obtaining this qualification you need to put a password on all files you share outside of your company. Without this qualification you are not allowed to do business in certain industries

  11. Open Shared Link Controls: Add "Default" option for 'download' permissions on Shared Links

    Example: Disable 'download' permissions on all shared links by default, but allow users to re-enable 'download' permissions on a link-by-link basis.

    Allow admins to default the "Let link viewers" option in Content & Sharing in Enterprise Settings. Currently we can restrict or allow this feature, but we cannot set the default option like we can we shared link access levels.

  12. Users with viewer permissions can't access watermarked files too big to preview

    When a collaborator has Viewer permissions and downloads a watermarked file that is too large for Preview, the resulting download only shows the Preview error message with watermarking. This means that the Viewer collaborator cannot preview the file in the browser or even download a viewable copy.

    In our specific case, the issue occurs with Excel Spreadsheets. The spreadsheet will contain more rows/columns/sheets than are capable of previewing in the browser.

    This may be expected behavior, but we would like to be able to collaborate with Viewers while still leveraging the Watermarking feature.

  14. SSO auto-provisioning via mobile

    We're running into an issue with their largely mobile workforce around SSO auto-provisioning via mobile. There is a pretty significant population of users who have attempted to log in for the first time via the Box for EMM app without having previously created a managed user account through the web app.

  15. Enterprise whitelist to apply "internal" collaboration settings

    Our parent company has a large number of subsidiaries that have their own unique EIDs for a number of reasons (branding, administration, SSO settings). We also have extremely locked down external collaboration settings and as such are requesting the ability to have a whitelist of other Box enterprises that could be subject to the internal collaboration settings (e.g. no timeout on collaboration).

    We are not likely to implement this. From a customer experience perspective, it would be difficult to explain to companies not in this situation why another enterprise can enforce different collaboration settings on their users.

  16. More option for IP whitelisting

    Currently, there are 2 options for IP whitelisting which are "webapp only" and "all endpoints". Is it possible to switch "API" as new option? I think "webapp only", "webapp+API", and "all endpoints" are enough options.

    There are many enterprises using cloud-based IDP like Azure AD, Okta and Centrify which can implement Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning using Box API. When "all endpoints" is set, IdP's Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning fails because they use Box API. Some enterprises are choosing "all endpoint" in Japan for their security reason, so I would appreciate if you could consider this request seriously.

    There are multiple asks captured here.
    We now provide admins self serve options to rotate their certs. We will further improve SSO setup options over the coming quarters. Besides these 2, we don’t have other enhancements planned in this area.

  19. Include IP address in watermark (along with email address)

    We want the ability to see IP address, along with the email address, on a watermarked file. IP address may appear if there is no email/Box login, but they would prefer if the IP address wasn't dropped when there is an e-mail address present.

  20. Dynamic permissions for Managed Users

    Separate permissions for when a user accesses Box internally and externally. For example, User has Editor permissions internally, same User has Preview only externally.
