  1. External references between Excel files saved in Box by URL.

    In Excel saved in SharePoint, the URL can be used to refer to the value of a cell in the other Excel file.
    We would like a similar functionality in Box.
    For example, if the file ID is "1234567890" and we want to refer to cell A1 of "sheet1", do the following.
    ex) ='https://****.ent.box.com/file/1234567890[sheet1]'!A1

  2. Box Sign is not certified by the Legal Affairs Bureau in Japan

    <In order to use Box Sign for registration applications, certification from the Legal Department must be obtained.>

    We usually use Box Sign to conduct our business.
    We are considering using Box Sign to approve and sign minutes of board of directors meetings, etc., and to submit the minutes signed with Box Sign as an attachment when registering with the Legal Affairs Bureau.
    However, Box Sign is not yet certified by the Legal Affairs Bureau in Japan at this time, and thus cannot be used in this way.

    We would like to use Box Sign for our registration application at the…

  3. Automatically add date to Sign request

    Currently, you need to manually add the date field to a sign request. The date field should automatically be added to all sign requests given the date information is always needed with a signature.

  4. Exclude file movement in Box Drive from Box shield's anomalous download detection

    When I move a folder with multiple files stored in Box Drive, Box Shield's anomalous download detection works.
    Since the purpose of the detection of anomalous download is to detect downloads that are taken out of the system, this specification is not the behavior we are looking for.
    Therefore, I would like to see Box Shield exclude moving files in Box Drive from the detection of anomalous download.

    In Japanese:
    Box Driveで複数ファイルが格納されているフォルダを移動すると、Box Shieldの「異常なダウンロード」検知が動作してしまいます。
    異常なダウンロード検知の目的は、ダウンロードによる持ち出しの検知なので、この仕様は求めている動作ではないです。
    そのため、Box Driveの移動はBox Shieldの異常なダウンロード検知の対象外にしてほしいです。

  6. Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"

    Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"

    We would like to request an improvement in the synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive so that they can be synchronized within 5 seconds.
    Our investigation of the synchronization speed is based on the following items.

    Pattern (3) Upload to Box Drive and check the screen update on WebUI: Result: No automatic update even after waiting for more than 5 minutes.
    Pattern (5) Delete the file on WebUI and check the update on Box Drive: Result: 20 seconds
    Pattern 6: Delete the file on the Box Drive…

  8. Collaboration expiration notice to the inviter

    Only owners and co-owners will be notified when collaboration invitations expire.
    I would be happy if this could be delivered to the "inviter" as well.
    The person who is most concerned about this is the inviter as host.
    The inviter is the one who can decide whether to extend the time.

  9. The "Application Restriction" should be configurable with the same granularity as the "Download and Print Restriction".

    (Japanese follows English)

    In the "Download and Print Restriction" section of Box Shield's Access Policy, it is possible to apply download, print, move and copy restrictions to Browser/Mobile/BoxDrive by specifying Managed/Outside Users and Owner/Co-Owner/Editor.
    On the other hand, third-party applications are not included in this restriction, and only downloads can be restricted under "Application Restrictions".
    We would like to be able to set "Application Restriction" to the same granularity as "Download and Print Restriction, as it provides a more consistent user experience if the same controls are applied regardless of which device or application is accessing the site.

    Box Sign via Text/SMS is not under consideration for the future 2024 roadmap due to other priorities and effort. 

    Please continue upvoting the request, we will review this request again next year. 

  11. In Excel Preview - Ability to Sum up a total of a column

    Since we can already click on and highlight cells in an Excel file in Preview mode on Box, I would love the functionality of being able to highlight and get a Total (Sum) of cells that is displayed in Preview mode without having to Open or Download the file.

  12. Ability to configure Part 11 Signing Reasons

    Currently the signer is presented with default signing reasons under Part 11 as below:

    a) I read and approve this document
    b) I read and agree to this document
    c) I read and authored this document

    However, customers who activate Part 11 configuration should have the ability to add or remove or customize signing reasons for Signers to select.

  14. Box Sign mask user inputs from other signers

    Currently Box Sign fields are visible to all users in the signing process. When users provide sensitive information (PII, PHI, financial information) as part of a signature process, we need to be able to hide that sensitive data from other signers in the process.

    Ex: Application for benefits reveals assets and income from the applicant but an approver in the process should not be able to see those individual fields (SSN, bank account numbers, disability status).

  15. Folder Lock from Web UI

    Currently, Folder Lock can be configured only through API. We would like to be able to configure it on Web UI, e.g. Folder Settings.
    Folder Lock function is very useful, but not used widely. Probably it's because API is not very friendly for some users.

    Because of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.

  16. Save password settings in template definitions

    I would like to be able to save password settings for each recipient in the template definition.
    If a customer-specific template has been defined and a password has been agreed upon with the customer, this will save the time and effort of setting a password each time.

    (Japanese)
    テンプレート定義に受信者ごとのパスワード設定を保存できるようにして欲しい。
    顧客専用のテンプレートが決まっており、かつ、顧客との間でパスワードの取り決めもなされている場合、毎回パスワード設定を行う手間が省けます。

  17. Ability to manage suppression lists

    Administrator not able monitor and allow to release own User from Suppression List is a big not good (Cause we won’t know if anyone being accidentally suppress. Till next time User alert and we check to email Spam, check external Mail Security than last check to BOX). When User being capture and put under Suppression List can the system send Administrator notification message and preview and/or release; instead log case check to BOX Support??!

  18. Unify move and copy behavior between BoxDrive and the Web browser.

    There is a detrimental effect caused by the fact that BoxDrive and the Web browser have different specifications for the operation of "move and copy," which is a basic operation of Box (it is actually upload and download).
    In particular, the fact that Shield's Access Policy and Classification Labels "maintain the original labels when moved and copied" is a major reason to use that feature.
    However, BoxDrive does not maintain labels, which does not lead to enhanced security or control of usage.
    Since there are many users who use BoxDrive as their main application, we would like to see the…
