Custom link URL sensitive content warning is misplaced
Under the checkbox to set a custom URL there is this warning: "Custom URLs should not be used when sharing sensitive content."
Custom URLs are not the problem! Anyone who guesses a custom URL and is thereby able to access it already had permissions needed to access it.
The warning should be "'Anyone with the link' should not be used when sharing sensitive content" and it should be in the prior popup.
Meanwhile, when a user has created a restricted link and then comes here to make a custom URL, the existing warning creates needless Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in…

Email notifications should include context
We want Box generated email notifications to include context re: the folder-level where the user was added.
For people like our boss who wants to know what is going on with a project without having to open a folder the information provided in the email notification will have to let him know what project (folder) it is associated with.

I'd like to be able to set the e-mail address for uploads to box folders
My team uses Box to allow students in our training courses to upload some of their code for review at a later time. One of the indispensable features has been the ability for these students to e-mail their code to Box, which alleviates many of the security concerns our clients have re: thumb drives, etc.
The one issue at this point is that when allowing e-mails to a Box folder, the e-mail address name is auto-genrated. I have no problem with this in theory, but in practice it results in typos, missed e-mails, and re-work.
I would love for either:

Including the original path to a file that was deleted.
It would make it easier to identify what files need to be restored if the original full path of the file was included in the trash folder and that information could be used in a sort/search.

Displaying bookmarks as thumbnails of the jpgs the bookmarks link to
Team members find it helpful to comb through thumbnails of jpg images in a Box folder all at a glance. For some purposes, we would like team members to have access to a folder of bookmarks that each link to a jpg image, instead of having access to a folder with actual jpg images. However, with access to such a folder of bookmarks, each individual bookmark displays as a bookmark iconic image of a chain link. With this, team members cannot just comb through thumbnail jpg images all at a glance as they would if they were looking at a…

Ability to trigger multiple workflows
“Lets put it like this, if you have the functionality to split workflows based on different files in 1 folder, people here would want to switch from Sharepoint to Box ?. It is currently the key reason to stay with Sharepoint as far as I’m made aware of.”
Basically, the customer wants to be able to trigger multiple workflows within one folder, but only on some files for each workflow. Currently they could achieve this through metadata, but this would not be contained to the folder.

Reorder Files within a folder
There needs to be an option to reorder files in a specific order besides files size, name, and updated.

Version History (Read- only)
We need a way to copy content, while retaining file version history, yet allow us to set the collaborators to “Read Only” and change the shared links to “Read Only” in a new location folder. We need this for historical purposes and have the original structure in a point in time snap shot. We still want the users to read from it but have no ability to change anything. This way they can cleanup items in the original folder structure without affecting the point in time copy. We need the version history to be copied as well.

Drag-and-drop file uploads in any portion of white space in a given folder
Files that are dragged from computer to browser window are not successfully uploaded to Box Drive folders unless they are dragged atop already existing files. Would you be able to expand the drag-and-drop's "catch region" to include all of the Box Drive folders' white space in a browser window? Thank you!

Metrics for tracking most oft-accessed files on a Box Drive shared among a team, department, etc.
OneDrive's tallying of the number of times particular files are accessed and by whom helped direct organization efforts for cloud storage and understand staff behavior. The Box Drive does not have a similar quantitative feature, as far as I know. Possible to create such a feature, to track who, when, and how often particular files and folders are used by staff permitted access? Thank you!

Allow non-admin users to call 'Get Enterprise Users API'.
I want to develop a program that provides an auto-completion feature that displays the names of enterprise users.
However, the current "Get Enterprise Users API" could only be called by co-admins.
I also want to be able to call from other than co-admin.By the way, "Get Groups API" could be called from other than co-admins by providing the filter.
I think there is a contradiction in this specification.2 votes -
Lock/unlock sub-folders at will
Product enhancement request: Create one main link to access a folder and its sub-folders, yet block some sub-folders from being downloaded. Benefit to user is that I can load all files at once, yet allow access only when I choose to. I can provide the link to users once. This saves me time and reduces confusion. An example of how this is being used is for a product launch where some files have been approved for distribution and the others have not yet, but will be “released” later in the week.
Example:
· Create Folder 1
· Underneath is sub-folders…3 votes -
Ability to see activities tied to pinpoints on the Geographic Activities page.
The admin console shows a worldwide map of activities, and lists number of activities by location. It would be very helpful to be able to get more information on the activity (file/user/etc.) as it will help ensure network is secure. (e.g.: should I be asking: "Is an employee on vacation in Kuala Lumpur, using a VPN, or is something else going on.)

Asign tasks in Office documents (Word, Powerpoint...)
I'm new to BOX (coming off business based on Google Platform) and have a few tips that would be awesome to have.
This is about collaborating better in teams and working on the document together.
Is there a chance to higlight a text in the Word/ Powerpoint - and asign that highlighted part to a team member? So on 1 slide I could potentially asign parts to different people to work on...
Thank you, Michael

It will be great if we can connect folder action between multiple flows.
When you have in the first flow a folder action (copy, move or create), you won't be able to reference the folder in a seconf flow if you want to take action if the task that has been rejected.
I have created a couple of Relay Flow (Contract Management and HR Onboarding) during the flow I create folder to collect more information from either a vendor a new onboard person, but when the flow get rejected and could not create a rejection flow (Second flow) because could not take action on a folder.
This could be important when we will…

Integrate with SEISMIC
If Seismic is the new go-to platform for documents, Box should be able to integrate with Seismic. Currently posting and editing and tagging are done redundantly in both places. Further, there are other issues with assets being modified, expired, file name changes, etc.

expired in value greater than 3600
I see the sample response for refresh token, it shows "expires_in": 3964,
Which I thought it would be 3600 as the max value.
Is it a mistake or it can be any value?1 vote
