Automated way to manage 2 Step verification for external collaborators
Provide API support to manage 2 Step verification settings for external collaborators .
Our use case is to "enable only for select domains/users". It is difficult to impossible to manage this for 1000's of external collaborators via the admin console. looking for an API support here to automate the process of managing the external user's 2 Step verification settings. The API should offer
1. Add external collaborator domain and specific email id to the 2 step verification
2. Query status given a domain or user email address
3. API to remove a given user / domain4 votes -
The ability to send a file to a specified user without requesting receiver to create Box account
We are looking for a way to share a file without requesting external receiver to create Box account. Shared Link with "anyone can access" is too open and risky so we need to specify the receiver by email etc. Dropbox provides this by Dropbox Transfer.

Independent back-up of files in box
In allot of professions, regulatory requirements require for us to have an independent back up of the files. With today's increased ransomware where they freeze your files, having an independent back-up is a great idea. I propose for Box to have all the files backed-up to a third location where its stored for access if needed. What happens if someone deletes a file by mistake or get all the files deleted. Having a site as back up will be a great idea. Filed could be backed up once a week. And I can tell you I will pay extra for…

Device Trust documentation and error message should explicitly describe encryption requirements for external drives
The Device Trust message is misleading as it states “All internal disks must be encrypted” when it should state “All disks must be encrypted”. In addition, the language under Setting-Up-Device-Trust-Security-Requirements here https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044194993 states "Require all disks to be encrypted: Helps protect against data loss by requiring disk encryption software" but it only describes in detail internal disk encryption. It would be helpful if it stated here that all external disks must also be encrpyted.

2FA when logging in using external password
When SSO is enabled, users can use external passwords to access services that do not support SSO login. Security teams want to be able to enforce 2FA on logins using external passwords.

Sign in with Google Across the Platform
Sign in options are inconsistent across the Box platform. If SAML/SSO or Sign in with Google is set up with an account, it should always be accessible in any place any user attempts to authenticate. I had an account without a password created via the Sign in with Google process and this meant there was one less password floating out there for account access. In order to sign in in certain parts of box.com or in Box Drive, I am required to set a password.

Additional permission options for files
Hello:
The documentation for Collaborator Permission Levels at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels is very substantially incorrect. At the start of that article it says (capitalization mine):
"When inviting a person as a collaborator within a folder OR FILE, or sending a shared link, you have the ability to set the level of access that person has to your content. Refer to the following chart to review the different permissions that accompany each permission level:"
This is completely incorrect--the permissions in that article only refer to permissions for folders, not files. Files only get "Viewer" or "Editor" permissions.
Ideally it would be nice if…

automatically disable link expiry
I never want my shared links to expire. I wish there was a way for me to set a link expiry preference on my account since I have to follow this process for every boxnote.
- create a boxnote.
- navigate to the folder it is in.
- create shared link.
- go to link settings.
- disable link expiry.
I wish I could instead just create a box note, click share and be done with it knowing my link won't expire.

pdf on box is downloadable, so the hard work of authors is not protected and can be distributed. Box must prevent this.
I was able to download a protected pdf on box. I obtained it from Cambridge. I am a school teacher, they gave me a box link to their book which they said I can use for a free months. But I was able to download the pdf. Box must make its embedded pdfs more protected to prevent illegal distribution of ebooks.

Upgrade from reCAPTCHA v2 to reCAPTCHA v3
The pictures shown in reCAPTCHA v2 like traffic lights and crosswalks are vague, leading many users to fail to log in.
As a result they would like Box to use reCAPTCHA v3 instead.5 votes -

Shared link permissions enterprise default
A way to force reset everyone to the enterprise default for shared link permission level.
+
A setting that would allow only a subset of users to have the broader level of sharing – say there is opt 1 – people in company / opt 2 people in company + invited / opt 3 people in company + invited + anyone with the linkEx. So the enterprise default for all users would be locked down to a max of option 2 (giving users opt 1 & 2 as choices) – we could allow a small subset option 3 (giving…

Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.
We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.

So we used a password on a shared link that contains a greater than symbol and the link does not work
If you create a shared link with a password that contains a greater than symbol > it will not work.
Such as:
T^>&4zjbFzVAt the very least they should make it so that when you try to save a password with that symbol it throws an error right there on the form.

Create exceptions for auto-expiration of sharing and external collaborators
We have auto-expiration on file sharing but often need to share files with external collaborators for an indefinite amount of time. We can't keep re-sharing the file. Same for external collaborators - we have auto-expiration but we can't keep re-sharing folders with them.
