  1. Need guest authentication by own AzureAD for external collaborators

    We can require 2-FA for external users, but it’s not enough security level to some customers. So, please add the ability to require guest authentication by own AzureAD for external collaborators.

  2. Box session timeout with SSO

    We are currently considering implementing SSO. The SSO service we plan to use has a session timeout feature,
    This feature allows us to control the session time of the IdP.
    It would be great if we could log out the Box at the same time as the Idp session timeout.

  3. 2FA - Option to select SMS or Email as opposed to both

    Hi all,

    We would like to have the option to select SMS as a 2FA method without having to have email as an option.

    Back in April last year Box introduced the option to have email as a 2FA Method. Unfortunately we can’t have Authenticator app and SMS but no email as a setting. Either it’s Authenticator app only or we have to enable emails too.

    On productions we go for the Authenticator app as that’s the most secure option, but one of our subsidiaries would like to give the option for SMS too.

    Enabling emails is a major security…

  4. Phone number format prompt

    When setting 2FA by SMS, Box should update this part of the web site to specify exactly what format the phone number needs to be entered in.
    E.g. "7797123456" and not +447797123456, 447797123456, +44(0)7797123456 etc.

    Although it seems to work with or without a leading zero, it would be better to not include it as it is not part of the "phone number"

  6. Enable option to turn on Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) for all documents

    Enable option to turn on Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) for all documents.

    This is important for Search and Data Leakage Prevention (DLP)/Ethical Walls.

    E.g. a Driver's License, Passport, etc. image gets uploaded, then Box DLP doesn't recognize this today.

  7. Enable 2FA renewal requirement options for external collaborators

    Background:
    2FA for external collaborators does not require a re-2FA. The only way an external person will have to re-2FA is if they switch browsers or clear cache/history. I have an external user that set up 2FA in November of 2021 that hasn’t had to re-2FA to our box environment since. It has been so long that she didn’t even remember setting it up (it is Aug ’22 now). The current box 2FA implementation effectively moves the security away from box and on to the end user’s device / environment. Being external partners, we have no insight into how secure…

  8. UX switching 2FA method

    Changing 2FA method requires removing first. This breaks existing shared feeds for others and is alarming.
    The way you need to re-accept then go back and forth between pages refreshing each time before it shows as re-established is far from "Simple" or intuitive.

  10. Password updates

    Login passwords currerntly enforce unnecessary format restrictions that are hindering the use of password generators. Characters < > cannot be used, and there also is a requiement to include at least two digits. Most hashing password generators use all printable characters (as they should), and ensure only the occurrence, but not the quantity, of character classes, i.e. 1 of each printable chartacter classes (uppercase, lowercase, numeric, special).

    Suggestion: allowing all printable characters and only requiring a minimum of 1 character from each intended class (occirrence only) would make Box login passwords compliant with the vast majority of hashing password generators…

  11. Whitelist domains on External Collab folders

    We want the ability to be able to whitelist a domain on a specific folder for users for users of a business, within our External Collaboration folder which we use for our clients. EG, if the folder is to be collaborated with by our client "Acme", eg then:

    FOLDER: External Collaboration > Customer > ACME

    ACME Folder: Whitelist domain acme.com

  13. "Remember me" added to login

    The need to constantly log in multiple times throughout the day when using Box.com is just absolutely an awful experience. This is especially true with integrations. Every time I close a browser window and then click a link, I have to log in again. We use Box as a source for all of our content for an agency so the number of logins is high. And when we receive a link to a piece of content, we have to click "Go to my account" to log in again, which takes us to the homepage, forcing us to click the link…

  15. password reset scheduling during holidays

    I am writing to request consideration of scheduling password changes to avoid peak vacation times. As a citizen developer, I do not have a dedicated team to manage these changes and it can be difficult to find time to complete the updates while also taking time off for vacation.

    I understand the importance of regularly updating passwords for security purposes, but I believe that scheduling these updates during times when fewer people are likely to be on vacation would minimize disruptions and make it easier for everyone to stay on top of this important task.

  16. Provide easier ways to extend collaboration expiration

    Similar to the existing post below but the request is a bit different.
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36108211-bulk-extend-collaboration-shared-link-expiration

    We have folders where there are over 100 collaborators to extend on a certain cadence and need to click the "clock" button over 100 times, which obviously is so painful. We would like to have the ability to click "checkbox" to select collaborators to extend and update them in one shot.

  17. Require additional Multi-Factor Authentication for external collaborators using SSO

    We can require 2-FA for external collaborators, but for external collaborators using SSO, Box does not check for whether users pass multi-factor authentication. Please add the ability to require additional multi-factor authentication for external collaborators using SSO.

  18. Add collaborators automatically upon request from who wants the access.

    When a new collaborator is identified but not added as a collaborator yet, he/she needs to wait until permission. To reduce this idol time, automatically permit access first upon request. Check the collaborators afterwards if required. Existing folder collaborators can designate the folder that needs this function.

  19. Persistent cookies

    Similar to Okta and Google Drive, we need the ability in Box to set use persistent cookie so the cookie doesn't expire when the browser is closed.

    Google Drive allows this by default, and Okta lets us specify the policy for specific users:
    ( see usePersistentCookie according in https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/policy/#signon-session-object)

    Workflow:
    * launch browser, go to Okta, and log in (our IDP)
    * open up the box link - everything works
    * close the browser
    * open the browser
    * I'm still logged into Okta (since I have usePersistentCookie turned on)
    * when I go to a Box link, I'm…

  20. Shared Link Password Policy

    Much like the default link expiry policy we would also like one specific to forcing passwords for shared links and preferably being able to define that policy with minimum characters and complexity.

    Bonus would be passwords that are auto-generated and viewable by the creator of the shared links to minimize the need for external tools.
