  1. Integration of Collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console)

    Integration of Collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console)

    The collaborator list page (web app) and group page (admin console) seem to treat inactive users differently, and the group page intentionally excludes inactive users and only includes active users.
    The Collaborators list page in the web app does not.

    Please consolidate the handling of inactive users as this specification is confusing to users and to administrators.

  2. Allow Shared folders to be owned by Domain ( vs user)

    Similar to Google's Shared Drives, allowing admins to set ownership of a shared drive at the domain level vs user (human or service) would minimize the need for Service Accounts or changing ownership as users leave the company.

  3. Ability to reject group collaboration by individuals.

    The user may be invited as a group to a folder that is of little relevance to him.

    If we are invited to a folder as a group, we cannot remove the collaboration as only an individual.If we invite a group, but individuals within the group do not need to collaborate, please add a setting that allows us to de-collaborate (reject) only the relevant users.

    <個人がグループコラボレーションを拒否するための機能>

    ユーザーは、自分とはあまり関係のないフォルダにグループとして招待されることがあります。
    グループとしてフォルダに招待された場合、個人のみで連携を解除することはできません。

    グループを招待しているが、グループ内の個人がコラボレートを必要としていない場合、
    該当するユーザーのみコラボレートを解除(拒否)する設定を追加してください。

  4. Content manager and folder picker for user activity report

    Ability for group admin/Business admin to use Contents Manager (and folder picker for user activity report).
    Currently, the group admin or admin of Business license cannot choose folder from picker on user activity report because they don't have the permission to view users' contents (or Contents Manager).

  5. Count SSO Authentication as login in User Report

    SSO Authentication is not counted as "Login" in User Statistics report. SSO Authentication is also "Login" activity. It should be counted.

  8. Need to be able to view group members before adding to a folder

    Would be great to be able to see members of a group prior to adding them to a folder. At the moment, even those groups which are listed as being viewable by anyone in the company can't be viewed until AFTER they are added to a folder, unless someone is a group admin. It means that either someone has to contact an admin to be sure they have the right group, or they have to add the group and then check right away to make sure they added the right one.

  9. Add Box IDs to Managed Users Report

    Currently, Box IDs are not accessible from the Managed Users Report. To obtain the Box IDs, I have to use the CLI.

    Our company deprovisions Box accounts based on the Last Login date in the Managed Users Report and it would be helpful if the Managed Users Report include the Box IDs.

  10. Additional columns in User activity report

    User activity report provide events of "Approved Task" and "Rejected task"

    Currently, User activity report provide just following events:
    Assigned a task
    Updated a task assignment
    Created a task

    Therefore, administrator cannot detect events of "Approved Task" and "Rejected task" These information should be provided in the report to know when the task was approved or rejected.

  12. Distinguish FTP and FTPS in User Activity Report

    would like a way to distinguish the difference between FTP and FTPS traffic.
    The “details” column in the user activity report only shows the connection to “Box FTP Server”,
    but it doesn’t specify which protocol or port was used.

  15. whitelist external users for File Request Link

    In business you frequently work with external partners or agencies and need to have the ability for those entities to manage a File Request Link. Limiting the File Request Link to just managed users limits the collaboration ability of the business needs.

  16. Prevent users to change their own permission level

    Prevent users to cange their own permission level in order to avoid "downgrading" the permission from Co-Owner to Viewer (for example) just for yourself.

    Or not allowing a user to remove himself/herself from a folder.

    This is definitely something that we want to do. However, it is a long term project that will take us more than a year. Marking as ‘not planned’ for now but will update the status once we have more details.

  18. Extend expiration dates to be shown in their user activity reports

    For external collaborations, it shows the date the collaboration is going to end when it's first set in the user activity to report as
    -Action: Collaboration expiration
    -Details: To: YYYY-MM-DD

    However when you extend this period, the "To: YYYY-MM-DD" isn't displayed so you don't know until when it's extended until unless you go the individual folder/file itself and look at the "clock" mark manually.
    In the report
    -Action: Extend collaborator expiration
    -Details: [Blank]

    The customer wants to have a grasp of each expiration dates so they're saying looking at each item manually on Box is impractical.
    They would like the…

  20. External collaborator redundant expiration notice

    If a Box folder is created in one Box org. and external collaborators are added, they’re already set to expire depending on the rules.

    If you move the folder to another org., and the new org has the same domain as the added collaborators that were set to expire, they still get the expiration notice, even though they shouldn’t expire because the new org. matches the added collaborators.
