  1. Update "Box login from..." email notification

    When I access Box from a new browser or device, I get "Box Login from...." email notification from Box.

    Within the email body, it said "You can manage your login activity list from the Security tab and your notifications from the Notifications tab of your Account Settings." but there is no "Notifications" tab under user Account settings.

    Instead there is a "Sharing" tab under which there is a section for "General Emails and Notifications". Could you please fix the wording with in the email notification body to reflect the correct tab and section. It helps the end users to get…

  3. Only allow submission of an invite form if the custom text length is acceptable

    Regarding the new 254 character limit on custom messages in collaborator invites:

    If there is an invalid email address in the top field, it is highlighted with a red message and the invite cannot be sent until the exception is fixed.

    If there is an invalid message length in the bottom field, then it should be highlighted in red and the invite cannot be sent until the exception is fixed.

    Or, just prevent that field from containing more than 254 characters. Some sites include a "remaining characters" counter next to the window to make this limitation clear.

  4. List of folders with overridden email notifications

    Many users choose to override the default email notifications for certain box folders but then forget which folders they chose the override setting. It would be nice under the Notifications section to list which folders the user has chosen to override email notification settings.

  5. Create a view of files or folders with unsupported names

    Currently: If a file has an unsupported name, it will be listed in Box Drive or Box Sync without their path name. Users will have to manually search for the file which is not feasible if they have thousands of files with unsupported names.

    Desired: Create a view of files or folders with unsupported search names in the Box web app to make it easy to rename and removes the process of having to manually search for them.

    Nice to Have: Have a button, when clicked, expands to reveal the full path of files or folders with unsupported names

  7. Allow 'show folder' button when multiple items are moved/copied

    Multiple items are always moved/copied to the same location, therefore a user should be able to navigate to where those items were moved as you can with single file moves/copies.

  8. Folder sharing workflow to show all options by default

    Currently, when I click on "share this folder", I have only a minimal screen.
    For security I ALWAYS want to expire the shared link after some days, but currently I need to click the link for additional options, before I can set an expiration date.

    I would help me a lot on my day-to-day work, if ALL SHARING OPTIONS would be visible at once, after I click on the "share this folder" button. An in my opinion it would also help other customers to protect their shares, as they would be aware of the additional functionality (expiration, passcode set).

    If…

  10. Removing files from a single page of a multi-page folder shows confusing message

    After deleting all items from one page (of multiple) of a Folder’s content, the page says “There are no items in this folder.”

    This is not accurate since there are other pages of content within the folder.

    Can this be changed as it can be confusing?

    An external indicator exists today as part of the External Access Indicators release via the details sidebar of a folder.

  12. Filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy"

    Would like to have the ability to filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy." Currently files are organized by alpha and I have to scroll through files to find the one I recently created.

  13. Prevent the easy deletion of root level folders

    We accidentally deleted a root level folder for millions of folders.

    This may be done by locking the folder, where it could allow users to create/edit/delete the contents within the folder, but not allowing the locked folder itself to be rename/moved/deleted.

    This may also help Box Sync (and possibly Box Drive) users, as many Box Sync users often delete the top level folders by accident.

  14. custom url for embedded widgets.

    Hi there,
    I ran into a case today where I wanted to customize the URL shown in the embedded widget.
    Similar to how you can have a custom URL for a shared link, I was wondering if it's possible to have the same for the embed widget. note, not to be confused with the upload widget.

    I am not sure how it will play with the upload widget but it would be good if you can customize those too.

    Please let me know your thoughts.

  15. Locking Folder Names

    We have systems integrating with folders on Box.com. These functions either provide workflow timestamps, or move files from folder to folder. In order for these integrations to work seamlessly, folders cannot be accidentally or purposely renamed.

  18. Bulk-delete comments

    we'd like a way for admins to delete old comments for files owned by managed users in bulk rather than one by one for files that have a lot of activity in their side activity panels.

  19. wrap long file names in the main UI. restore old namewrap UI feature.

    I've noticed where other folks have suggested similar ideas and been told to use the BOX UI to create their own version. Not sure what the big deal is. we dont have programmers on staff but if you enlarge the font for a disabled person even short file names become too large to fit on the UI. I think even if long filenames is LOW probability, it occurs enuf to consider offering it. Practically every filename we have is too long so it drives us nuts. Video filenames are the worst because of a zillion versions. Can you imagine a…

  20. Reduce amount of steps needed to create bookmarks in Box.

    Can be simplified with a simple context menu (e.g. right-click > create bookmark) and then either copy the bookmark or choose a destination.
