  2. Invite Collaborators Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Automatically Remove Collaborator on X Date' Field

    Right now, auto-expiration for collaborators is only provided as an option from within the Admin Console.

    REQUEST: Add a 'automatically remove this/these collaborator(s) on X date' checkbox to the Invite Collabs Pop-Up, with the default being to have it unchecked, of course.

    We have API endpoints already to add an expiration to an individual collaboration (https://docs.box.com/v2.0/reference#edit-a-collaboration), meaning admins can do this on our own via API. We would like the same type of option/functionality natively in the webapp UI as well.

    Thank you for the detailed explanation! This is not planned for the short-term roadmap. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

  3. Add Ability to Download And/or Copy from Trash Page

    Users are interested in having a functionality added to the Trash where they would be able to either download content directly from the Trash or copy the items they would like to be restored to a new location in their Box account.

    This would be most beneficial in the use case when an admin is reviewing a user's profile that is going to be deleted. They would like to be able to review the items in the user's Trash and identify which items may need to be restored and to what location.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  4. Ability to change default collaborator level globally

    Customer is requesting the ability to change the default collaborator level upon adding a new collaborator. The default level is now Editor, but the customer wants to set the default to Viewer Uploader or something else to protect against provisioning too much access to users.

    Additionally, the customer wants to collaborate with many customers (external users) and would like to provision appropriate access to those users (preferably not Editor).

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  6. Ability to disable Version History for their Enterprise

    Currently, Version History is available to almost all collaborator access levels.

  8. Support for Macro-enabled Files

    Macro-enabled Excel files (xlsm) can be previewed in Box (albeit a little slow to generate preview), but macro-enabled Word files (docm) cannot be previewed.

    Neither document type is officially listed as a supported file type (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/What-file-types-are-supported-by-Box-s-Content-Preview/ta-p/327), so it would be expected that both work the same way (either be previewable or not).

    Thanks for the suggestion! We don’t currently plan to increase this limit given the potential performance impact this would have on page load times. We are, however, looking into alternate solutions for pagination.

  10. Option to Restore an Item from Trash to a New Location (Other Than the Original Location)

    Users cannot view/preview the contents in their trash before determining if they want it to be restored.

    No clear way to recall exactly where each of the files were restored to (especially when you're dealing with dozen or more files)

    We don’t currently have this slotted in as an update to the Trash page given limited asks for it. If customer demand persists, we will re-evaluate, though this change also requires an API update since https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#restore-a-trashed-item only allows choosing of a new target parent folder in the case where the original parent has been deleted or user lost access.

  11. Disable ability to use a secondary password

    We'd like the ability to disable the use of a secondary password at both the account level and user level.

    Main risk for us is that users can map a shared drive and use FTP with a secondary password - which would allow WU data outside of WU managed PCs all while bypassing SSO.

  12. Viewers of watermarked files can download file before previewing it

    Owner of folder wants to have users be able to mass download files within watermarked folder. In the current way, user has to preview each file individually before seeing option to download.

    There are several workarounds to achieve this in the current product, so we will not prioritize this feature in our roadmap.

  14. Send out expiration notifications to folder co-owners

    We currently only send out expiration notifications to the folder owner and not the co-owner

  15. Drag and drop files from Box into a document

    Our users have all of their content/ media files/ images stored in Box. They routinely drag and drop images to a document (PPT, Word etc.) to prepare docs.

    Right now, unless users sync all their files, they cannot drag and drop the file into a document. They have to download it and then add it to doc.

    Thanks for the feedback! There is no workaround for this use case at this time.

  16. Server side un-zipping of files

    Some teams share very large (multi-GB) zip files and a separate team members need to see the contents of these zips.

    Having the full team wait for Box Edit Open with Compressed (zip file) option or using Box Sync are our only workarounds today and not time or network efficient for users.

    This is not currently planned. Thank you for the submission.

  17. Ability to play video from grid view in new UI

    As opposed to having to click into the file to preview the video playback

    Thank you for this suggestion. This would be a pretty big change from a technical perspective and is not currently planned.

  18. Remove 'Get our app to view this on mobile' Text/Link in Emails for EMM-Enabled EIDs OR Allow Link Customization

    For customers that use Box for EMM (and have disabled the standard Box apps), the 'get our app to view this on mobile' link/text in the standard Box email notifications (like for @mentions, uploads, etc.) is confusing because users in that EID won't actually be able to log into the standard Box app that it links to.

    REQUEST:
    1. Either provide the option to remove this text from emails
    OR
    2. Allow customization of this text to change the link that it points to (so a customer can link to their software/app catalog where users download the Box for EMM…

    Hey there! Thanks for submitting this feedback, but due to competing priorities, we cannot put this ask on our roadmap at this time.

    Thanks for the suggestion! Based on the current information provided, we don’t currently have a feature like this planned.

    We’d love to hear additional use case context from interested users, however, in why the need exists to have Viewer Uploaders be able to ‘delete’ without simply raising them to ‘Editor’ level. Any additional information would be very helpful.

  20. Live Video Streaming

    Ability to live stream video content via Box.

    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.
