    This is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers.

    We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

  3. Option to restrict folder owner from inviting other users as co-owners

    We only want certain Project owners to be able to change folder properties.

    This is narrowly valuable, and would be confusing to introduce more customization to permission levels. Therefore, this is not planned.

  4. Detection and blocking of distribution lists

    We use many distribution lists to communicate.

    Technically, Box does not stop you from adding a distribution list email as a collaborator to a folder. All members of the list get email notifications but access to the folder is not granted to anyone on the list. This is expected.

    This suggestion is merely a protection measure that can be addressed by user education, so it may have a low impact.

    This is an interesting request and likely something we should look into for future improvements to how we handle distribution lists.

    Because there’s a workaround and we have higher impact requests, we will table this suggestion for now.

    Thank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

  6. Remove "Mail All collaborators" button for folders with high numbers of collabs

    This mail all functionality often fails (and produces strange behaviour such as repeatedly emailing people) when there is a high number of collaborators in the folder

    There are customer use cases for this button. Therefore, we will keep it. Thank you for the feedback!

    Thanks for the suggestion!
    Unfortunately, at this moment we don’t have the technical bandwidth to support Arabic and other right-to-left languages.
    Thanks

  8. Apply "sort by name" function to shared links and collaboration invites.

    It is challenging for external clients to locate the proper folder.

    Thank you for the suggestion! We’re not planning to change the defaults for users without Box accounts.

    The recipient can choose to sort by name instead using the “View Options” button at the top of the files list.

  9. Error Update Notification

    Users sometimes get errors that "There was an error with "etc." Please try again later.

    For example, a user accidentally deleted a large folder tree that they needed to restore. When they tried to restore it, they were told this item was still in the process of deleting and to try again later.

    We would like an email when this action completes so we can continue with our work (in this case, a folder restore)

    Thanks for your feedback. We are currently trying to reduce the number of email notifications we send users, so will not be considering adding new emails in the short-medium term.

    Previews may load more slowly the first time if the file has not been converted yet. Some file types may not be pre-converted. Subsequent viewings should be faster for these files.

    Preview loading performance is something we’re always focused on improving, but there are no specific efforts on the roadmap for this right now.

  11. Provide more clear password guidelines when creating a new account

    For example, add a real-time check that tells the user what is missing in the current password while typing it.

    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it is for power users and does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional feedback.

  14. Only allow owners & co-owners to share links outside of the collaborator permissions they themselves control

    There is currently no ability to allow owners/co-owners of a folder to send open links, when the global enterprise settings are set to restrict sharing: 'People in this Folder'

  15. Remove restrict files sharing within Folder Settings

    We would like to remove a folder setting option that restricts sharing for files only or folders only

  16. Open Link ability - single access

    We would like to make a link that forces a person to login (i.e. related to previous feedback submission) and then have a link expire for that person after one access (one click of the link).

    Thanks for the submission. I’m not sure we understand the user problem. Please add your feedback in the comments and we will reconsider.

  18. Adjust the Get Info button to pull from the properties of a Box Link vs from the HTML Header tag information

    This would be much more user friendly (and expected) for the proper data to populate when clicking Get Info if the hyperlink is a shared link.

    We are mostly requesting that the folder name as a bookmark populates.

  19. Only allow managed users/collaborators of an enterprise to log into customized login page

    Ideally, users who use their subdomains to login should be our collaborators and users only.

    Thank you for your note! This is a relatively narrow use case. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

  20. Remove all Collaborators from Folder

    We have a commonly changing set of external collaborators that need to be in a folder. This list may change every week or every month. Some of the folders may have large numbers of collaborators and there is no way to bump them all out if needed other than removing the folder completely.

    This currently seems like a much more narrow use case than the other requests we have gotten so it will not be prioritized in the short term.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases and customer demand.
