The ability to change the format of metadata templates once set
The format of a metadata template cannot be changed after it has been set.
In this case, once a numerical value has been set for the format, only numerical values are available afterwards. This is less convenient and makes information collection more difficult.
If new metadata is added, I have to reconfigure non-target items as well, and since metadata is deployed company-wide, the number of target files is too large and the workload is too high.
Also, to set it via API I have to create a programme, which increases the number of API calls and increases costs.
Therefore, I request the ability to change the format once it has been set.In Japanese:
メタデータテンプレートのフォーマットは、設定後に変更することはできません。
この場合、フォーマットに数値を設定したらその後は数値しか利用できません。これは利便性が低く、情報収集難度が高いです。
新たなメタデータを付与する場合は対象項目以外も再設定する必要があり、メタデータを全社的に展開しているので対象ファイル数が多すぎて作業負荷が大きいです。
また、APIでセットするにはプログラムを作成する必要があり、APIコール数が増えてコストも増大します。
そのため、フォーマットを一度設定した後に変更できる機能をリクエストします。The format of a metadata template cannot be changed after it has been set.

Ability to see deleted items only in the trash of the user who deleted them.
In the case that a user accidentally uploads a sensitive file to an invited folder and delete it to avoid the access of others, the folder collaborator with viewer-uploader or above access permission can find it by searching the trash and moreover he/she can restore it.
We need to limit the ability to see deleted items only in the trash of the user who deleted them.
It would be even better if this could be configured in the admin console.ユーザーが誤って招待されたフォルダに機密ファイルをアップロードし、他のユーザーのアクセスを避けるためにそれを削除した場合、ビューアー/アップローダー以上のアクセス権限を持つフォルダのコラボレータは、ごみ箱を検索することでそれを見つけることができ、さらに彼/彼女はそれを復元することができます。
削除されたアイテムを見ることができるのは、削除したユーザーのごみ箱だけに制限する必要があります。
これを管理コンソールで設定できればさらに良いと考えています。27 votes -
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 Legal Affairs Bureau in Japan, so please submit an application to obtain this certification.

Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link is added as a collaborator when previewing the file.
Currently there's no indication that users should click on the Preview button first or add the recipients as collaborators directly on Box, so it's confusing for users.
Ideally, the Edit button would also add the necessary permissions before opening the Edit screen.Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.

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。12 votes -
Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI
The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
Please improve performance.(Japanese)

上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。

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]'!A149 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Ability to select specific shared links and delete them all together
Sometimes, users create shared links and then leave them unattended.
As part of our inventory, we delete unnecessary shared links based on the shared link report.
However, in order to delete them, we need to access each file from a browser.
We would like a mechanism to delete multiple specific shared links at once.
If there are multiple shared links in the same folder, I would like the ability to check them off and delete them all together.In Japanese:
共有リンクをユーザが作成した後、放置されていることがあります。
棚卸の一環として、共有リンクレポートをもとに不要な共有リンクを削除していますが、

Request for improvement of Box mobile app problem when enlarging image data.
This is a feature improvement request regarding the preview function of Box mobile app.
When using Box mobile app to preview and enlarge scanned paper or photographed image data on a mobile device,
the quality of the image data is poorer than when previewing and enlarging image data in Box GUI operated with a web browser, and small text cannot be displayed.
Reviewing PDFs of A3 size architectural drawings or checking details of diagrams in manuals is inconvenient with Box mobile app.
Image quality remains constant even when previewing image data using Box GUI in a web browser and enlarging the image with the zoom button.
Without a doubt, the images are displayed more clearly than in the mobile application.
Presumably, the mobile app preview uses thumbnail images from the Web GUI for preview display.
Therefore, it is assumed that image quality will be coarse when image data is previewed and enlarged.
Box mobile app is often used in the construction and equipment maintenance industries,
Please consider improving the functionality of Box mobile app so that image data can be checked without degradation of image quality
even when images are enlarged using the zoom button, similar to Box GUI operated via a web browser.This is a feature improvement request regarding the preview function of Box mobile app.

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.

どのデバイスやアプリケーションからアクセスしても同様な制御が掛かっている方が一貫したユーザーエクスペリエンスを提供することが可能となるため「アプリケーションの制限」を「ダウンロードと印刷の制限」と同じ粒度で設定出来るようにして欲しい。(Japanese follows English)

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.
