  1. Add 'trusted websites' to suppress the 'Leaving Box' interim step

    When users click on a bookmark that takes them to an external website, there is an interim page that requires them to 'click continue' to verify they trust this website and are ok with 'Leaving Box'.

    Request: Provide admins with the opportunity to input which websites allow their users to bypass this interim screen as a 'trusted' website.

    not planned  ·  Brad Monroe responded

    This interstitial (‘leaving Box’) page exists due to some requirements from our Security team.

    Providing a whitelist for companies to use is not a feature that the Web App team will be prioritizing in the near future given other commitments.

  2. User-Level 'History/Activity Manager' - View Prior Actions with Option to Undo

    Users often perform a variety of actions in their account - renaming files, moving files, copying files, etc.

    There's always a success/failure banner (with an 'undo' button) for these larger actions (like move/copy), but that banner is dismissed pretty quickly

    There are scenarios, however, where a user performs an action (especially a somewhat destructive action - like accidentally moving a bunch of files) and they need to undo it AFTER the 'undo?' banner disappears.

    REQUEST: Add an 'Activity Manager' or 'History Manager' at the account level that allows a user to view their actions and undo applicable ones. For example,…

    Thank you for this request! I can appreciate this use case. This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  3. Permanent Folder Tree View in Webapp (Similar to Windows Explorer/Finder)

    Currently we have a 'jump to folder' option that provides a modal for navigating by using a folder tree view. Many customers would like this same tree view of their content as a permanent sidebar in the webapp for faster/easier 1) navigation and 2) context for where they're at in any given folder tree.

  4. Expire all shared links at parent-level folder

    Request the ability to expire all shared links generated within a parent folder on a selected date. Shared links should still be able to be generated independently on files, subfolders, etc. but have the ability to control & manage the expiration holistically at the parent level.

    We do not plan to implement this for the time being. We will reconsider with additional demand or use cases.

  5. Error message for failure of password change is not clear.

    For instance, typing current password or last time's password in new password field will showing same message "please make sure all field is valid."

  6. Major/minor flagging or differentiation in their version history.

    It is important to be able to manage milestone updates to a single document that can be referred back to, both major and minor.

    Some of this has been compounded by the additional versions created by autosave when using MS Office concurrent editing.

  7. Ability to 'Hide' Folders I've Been Added To

    As a user, I've likely been added to numerous folders that I do not need to access daily or even often, but still need to remain a collaborator in. A 'hide folder' option may help with this, where a user would be able to hide a folder form their All Files view, but the user would not actually be removed as a collaborator from the folder. They would then be able to access all 'hidden' folders via a menu option on the left rail (or elsewhere).

    not planned  ·  Stephanie Zhang responded

    Folder sprawl is an interesting challenge many of us face! To combat this, we’re recommending that users use the upcoming ‘Collections’ feature to group together content that’s frequently used vs. hiding content that’s infrequently used.

  8. Remove external collaborator after certain period of inactivity

    We invite many external collaborators onto projects and it is tedious to remove them after projects end. Setting a global "remove external collaborator" time period does not always work because some projects last much longer than others.

    Request:Ability to set a "remove collaborator if inactive within Domain for x time"

    Thank you for the use case! Because there are a few ways to remove collaborators, it is unlikely we will prioritize this in our roadmap.

  10. Invite Collaborators Modal -- Use Correct Sort Order for Permissions Drop-Down (Co-owner above Editor)

    REQUEST: Update the sort order of the permissions dropdown on the Invite Collaborators modal to follow the same sorting as the Sharing sidebar (which has Co-owner listed above Editor).

    We will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

    This is a relatively expensive request for a modest payoff. We will be prioritizing other features on our roadmap.

  13. @mention of all collaborators of the folder

    As a user, I want to @mention all collaborators of the folder so that each user is notified of a comment I am making on a file or folder.

  17. Version-Specific Shared Link Option

    Currently shared links to a file will only return the latest version. We would like the ability to share a version of our choosing rather than just the latest version.

    Thank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

  18. Folder Settings: Add 'automatically remove invited collaborators' at the folder level (user defined)

    Currently, "Automatically remove invited collaborators" can be set up only in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings, but some customers are requesting to set up in Folder Settings (meaning at the folder level) because it enables more granular security settings.

    The usability complexity of this feature would not be worth the small benefit it would provide to a small minority of users.I would suggest instead instead using the existing workaround of Shared Link Expiration.

  19. External User Box Access Workflow

    We'd like a modification to the external user workflow and change the text of "Not a part of <Company Name> Company"

    Many external users click the "Part of <Company Name>" button as they assume incorrectly this is the proper path as they are doing business with the Company.

    There is room for improvement on either the current text, addition of clarifying text, or a modified workflow.
