  3. Schedule settings for all reports

    Currently, the following reports cannot be scheduled.
    ・Platform Activity
    ・Outbound Activity
    ・Security Logs
    ・Legal Holds
    ・Retention

    There are several types of reports that only the administrator can output, Since it takes time to output each report, automatic acquisition on a regular basis will improve operational efficiency.

    <すべてのレポートでスケジュール設定をできるようにする>
    現在以下のレポートではスケジュール設定することができません。
    ・Platform Activity
    ・外部のコラボレーション
    ・セキュリティログ
    ・リーガルホールド
    ・リテンション

    管理者しか出力できないレポートの種類が複数あり、各レポートの出力にも時間がかかるため、
    定期的に自動取得が行えれば業務効率化につながります。

  4. Box Relay outcome to Apply Classification to a folder dynamically

    It would be helpful if Box Relay would have the ability to apply a classification to the folder where the workflow was triggered on dynamically as an outcome, which would also classify all content within that folder structure as well. This would allow applying classifications to the folder that a new file event trigger happened in for example, which would then flow classifications to all content and sub-folders in that folder structure.

  5. default file request webpage for child folders

    We would like to create a default File Request Webpage Template that automatically applies to every folder we create under the parent folder rather than having to Copy the File Request Webpage.

    We expect the root parent "Request File Webpage" to be the default for all child folders created new under the parent folder...

    We want the exact same layout and fields on every "Request File Webpage" for every child folder under the parent.
    Not the link, but the Webpage layout and fields.

    We are hoping, at minimum, we can setup a Default or Template that can be applied every…

  6. I have some files sorted into collections. It would be great if I could select all the files and tag them.

    Currently you have to tag each file in a collection individually. If you select all the tag option disappears.

  7. Add functionality to view all folders set to "Make available offline"

    I would love to be able to see which folders are currently set to "make available offline". I need free up space regularly.

    Or a feature to see how much space box is taking up on my machine and what folders are using the space. Similar to storage on a Mac.

  8. Be able to Block specific filetypes from being uploaded to Box

    Allow for an organization-wide policy to block specific filetypes from being uploaded to Box, or at least prevent them from being uploaded/moved to specific folders with specific classifications.

  9. Quota Notifications for End Users

    I would like a way to set up different thresholds where a user can be notified that they are getting close to exceeding their quota limit. Give me the option to allow notifications at 95% and 99% and then every time they have hit their quota limit when they are someone else adds files to something that they own. I would also like to see warnings added for collaborators when they add files to another person's shares that indicate that they have hit a quota limit for the owner of the folder and give them a warning that they need…

  11. want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
    However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.

    It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.

    Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい

    Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
    しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。

    ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
    ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。

  12. About Comment Function

    ■request
    I would like to have reaction buttons ("Like", "Super Like", "Sad", "Laugh", etc.) for the comments in the box preview screen.

    ■background
    Since the current Box comment function does not have a reaction function, it is necessary to comment even if you agree with or accept the comment.
    We would like to have a reaction button when agreeing with a comment, as we believe this will encourage collaboration.

    【日本語】
    ■要望
    Boxのプレビュー画面でコメントを記入する欄にそのコメントに対してのリアクションボタン(「いいね」や「超いいね」、「悲しい」「笑い」等)が欲しい

    ■背景
    現状Boxコメント機能はリアクション機能がない為、コメントに対して了解したり同意する場合もコメントする必要があります。
    コメントに対して同意する意味を込める時にリアクションボタンがあるとコラボレーションを活発に行う事ができると考えている為機能実装を希望します。

  13. Ability for admin to configure expiry duration of open links that are sent to recipient's

    Box Sign uses open links to distribute completed agreements to all recipients. This open link expires after 14 days. Some customers want to make this shorter or zero to protect sensitive information and some other customers want to make it longer as recipient's dont want to create accounts in order to access the agreement after the 14 day period.

    Please add a feature in admin console so that the admin can decide the expiry period for their enterprise

  14. Can't insert video from the file in PowerPoint Online in Box

    It is currently impossible to insert a video from the local file in PowerPoint Online via Box.
    The only options are "Insert from stock video" and "Insert online video".
    However, this feature is present in native Microsoft 365 PowerPoint Online in SharePoint/OneDrive.

    The feature set in Office Online apps should be the same in Box and MS. Otherwise, MS Office Online in Box can't completely replace SharePoint.

  15. Group-based SSO configuration

    Current Status and Issues:
    SSO mode can only be set for all users.
    If SSO is mandatory, when IdP fails, all users cannot log in to Box.

    Desired Improvement:
    I would like to specify a Box group to enable/disable/require SSO. If only the administrator can set "SSO Enabled", he/she can log in even in case of IdP failure, and by changing the setting of general users from "SSO Required" to "SSO Enabled", the business can continue.
    Furthermore, if possible, we would like to set it up so that different groups can SSO in different IdPs.

    Reason for need:
    The IdP…

  16. Access policy prohibiting copying and moving to external folders(gray folders)

    Current Status and Issues:
    Currently, when a file or folder with a classification label is copied or moved to a gray folder, the classification is lost and the associated access policy stops working.
    The only way to prevent this is to prohibit the move or copy itself by attaching a DL inhibit label.

    Desired improvement:
    Please add "Prohibit copying to gray folders" to the access policy so that it can be set for each classification label.

    Why it is needed:
    Because some customers are not attracted to Shield due to the above problem.
    Also, setting a "no download" label would…

  17. block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access

    The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

  18. Actions to make documents and folders (box drive, 'Make Available Offline' ) appear in reports as Downloads - same as normal downloads

    When identifying anomolous downloads (ie potential data leakage), we utilise both Box Shield alerts and User Activity reports to establish details.

    However, User Activity reports (csv, column E 'Action') do not differentiate between those documents and folders downloaded, and those that are 'Made Available Offline'. When attempting to avoid data leakage, the difference is important. Making content available offline is a legitimate task for users. However, large quantities of normal downloads may indicate fraudulent theft of data.

    We need to be able to differentiate between the two types, as soon as possible

    Because User Activity Reports record items as 'Download'…

  20. Add signature without needing to select default on every document

    I manage 10-30 or more unique documents/invoices for accounts payable purposes on a regular basis. In DocuSign I can manage many documents, and I have 1 signature that is auto-filled for me when I add the Signature field. Although I only have 1 Saved signature In Box Sign, the extra pop-up window prompts me to select the 1 signature I have that saved in signature apply it to every document individually, resulting in additional clicks on every document. I'd like to request that this be a Box Sign enhancement to consider for all clients, to auto-fill if we have selected…
