  1. When using the Send Shared Link feature, non-URLs in the Message are getting caught as URLs

    It is unclear which part of the message got caught in the filtering.
    For example we A.COMPANY get's caught as a URL since .com is recognized as a top level domain. This is very confusing to the user and would be better if there was a message that shows which string was marked as invalid.

  3. Better Group Management and Deletion

    When managing groups, I would expect to be able to sort by the Members, Folders and Created columns.

    I would like to be able to delete more than one group at a time.

    When deleting a group from page 3, it returns you to page 1 instead of the page you were on. This is extremely frustrating when you have dozens of groups to remove which are lower in the alphabet. It would be better if you could multiple select groups and delete them. It looks like you can multiple select today but the only options are to Add Folders…

  4. Doc feedback

    The layout and the padding feels weird. This applies to both the navbar as well as the content.

  5. Show icon in Drive for parent folders when sub-folders are marked for offline

    Currently, users are easily able to manage the hard drive space being used by BOX by simply checking into their sync folder and deciding then what they may prioritize as necessary to sync or un-sync at a quick glance. Even in the instances where there are multiple folders and sub-folders included, it’s a clear representation of what’s being synced at the time.

    These same users currently sync A LOT of files within a fairly deep folder structure, so not having an insight into which folders are taking up space only leaves a user to chicken peck around in the hopes…

  8. Access Stats: Include IP information from report preview in report export

    While previewing the Access Stats, IP information is shared. When we export the report, it doesn’t give that information anymore. We would like for the IP information from the Access Stats preview to be included in the exported report.

  9. Option to open links directly in desktop applications (rather than Box Preview)

    Currently when I receive a link to a file on Box via email, clicking the link takes me to Box Preview. A couple of steps are needed before I can open the file using the relevant desktop application (e.g. Word, rather than Word Online or Box Preview), which is invariably what I want to do. It is problematic to need to access files via a web browser if I am not connected to the internet or if my connection is poor. Please could you introduce a way to quickly open lists directly in desktop applications?

  10. Can we shut off GSuite document edit options

    We want to make sure our users are not able to see options for GSuite within our enterprise. We only want Microsoft application options to appear in the drop down for editing documents. We don't want users using Gsuite so having the option isn't a good user experience for us. The less options we have in the drop down the better. It should be a on/off option at the enterprise level for enabling GSuite apps or connectors to GSuite.

  11. Sharing information with people outside my organization.

    when a URL is shared to someone they will then have the ability to download. locking a file feature is available, unfortunately, it needs to be performed one by one. the ability to lock entire folders all at once would be very helpful.

  12. Add ethical walls to collaboration

    We'd like to set up controls to prevent certain groups (like Investment Banking) from collaborating with users in a different group (Research).

    This is currently not planned. We are looking into restrictions that admins could set at this level, but there is nothing planned on the roadmap for this as of now.

  13. Improve instructions for selecting nonadjacent items in file list

    Improve the keyboard shortcut instructions for selecting nonadjacent items in the file list [e.g., under https://app.box.com/folder/]. From these instructions: https://community.box.com/t5/Migrating-and-Previewing-Content/Using-Keyboard-Shortcuts-for-Box/ta-p/25945
    it is not clear and nonobvious that one has to navigate with the up and down arrows to land on the next file that you want to select, then you can press shift-x (which is a command that I've NEVER seen in a user interface).
    Please improve your keyboard shortcuts article to be more explicit.

  15. Prevent moving sub-folders

    Create a folder permission setting where collaborators can edit a file but not move the sub-folder where the file resides.

    Another way of saying this:
    Would like a folder setting which does not allow sub-folders to be moved but allows editing of files.

  16. Add the ability to mark a folder for offline use (for viewers) when files have watermarks

    In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline

  17. Add an admin console control to be able to turn on or off auto-accepting collaboration invitations

    Currently the ability to turn on or off Auto-Accepting Collaboration Invitations is only available from the user's settings (User Settings > Account Settings > Sharing). This would enable organizations to turn off auto-accept invitations on an instance-wide level.

  19. Identify version limit limitations

    As limits on versions exists - and the most important for us is having access to the earlier versions - we would like a warning to happen when an earlier version is about to become unavailable - least then we know that we need to make some copies or alterations to how our drive is updating our files.

  20. Open Box Notes API for logging

    The idea here is to use a box note as a log which could be updated both by humans and an automated api.

    My use case for the api would basically be "append a line" to the box note.
