  1. Ability to change idp name.

    Once customer set up SSO connection, that IdP name stays there even after they switch to new IdP. It's UI misrepresentation.
    For example, a company may initially setup SSO with Azure using SelfService. If they switch to Okta, the Azure language will remain.

  2. The ability to add an auto-expiration on specific external collaborators access to a specified file or folder.

    I would like an Expiration option date picker to be added to the Collaboration Invite window. This will allow our company to let a user privilege expire without us being forced to expire by auto-deleting a folder, or sharing a link that expires but can also be shared with others in the meantime.

    Unfortunately this is not planned in the near-term, but please do keep adding use cases so we can consider this request for the future.

  3. Log logs reporting

    There is no event logged when a user reports user activity or security logs. Could be worth to log that event along with the report criteria to be able to rack unusual reporting.

  4. User Activity report should have logs for “New version upload”

    At present, it only shows as “Edit” and if a new version with a different name was uploaded on a file by mistake, the admin will not be able to find out what happened by searching for the file name.

  5. Box GXP compliance

    Could you please provide a full GXP Compliance framework ?

  6. Add rich sharing features from webapp to Drive

    Would love to be able to have more of the rich sharing functionality from the webapp available in the Box Drive UI, specifically for configuring sharing options (password, expiration etc).

  7. Block users by geography

    We'd like the ability to block users from accessing our Box environment from certain geographical areas, via a control in the admin console’s insights page (the geographic activity area).

  8. Display pop-up when opening a locked file.

    The lock icon is small and users can overlook this and try to edit the file without knowing that it is opened read-only.

  9. Remove message model when changing owners

    We would like message prompts that come up whenever with changing owners to be gone within the move and copy module so moving items between different folders is faster and quicker.

  10. Filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy"

    Would like to have the ability to filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy." Currently files are organized by alpha and I have to scroll through files to find the one I recently created.

  11. Ability to white label the url from [company].box.com to box.[company].com to see white clients have blocked box

    Some of our clients office networks (law firms) block box.com and because of browser cross site restrictions, they can't actually tell it's being blocked so its difficult to handle smoothly

    not planned  ·  amin responded

    Not planned at this time. We will revisit this with additional demand.

  12. Permissions for forensic investigations

    Would like a “forensic” co-admin permission. The “forensic” co-admin permission would have the permission to “login as…” any user; however, any action they take “as user” will not be reported either in access stats or in other user accessible reports.

    This will allow our team to conduct forensic investigations without alerting the end user.

  13. custom url for embedded widgets.

    Hi there,
    I ran into a case today where I wanted to customize the URL shown in the embedded widget.
    Similar to how you can have a custom URL for a shared link, I was wondering if it's possible to have the same for the embed widget. note, not to be confused with the upload widget.

    I am not sure how it will play with the upload widget but it would be good if you can customize those too.

    Please let me know your thoughts.

  14. Check prerequisite before installation

    When running Box Drive without installing Universal CRT, Drive would show an error message "Failed to execute script bfd_main" which is difficult to understand what went wrong.

  15. Use Box as governance layer for content outside Box

    Ability for Box to function as federated content viewer (governance) - as some content will remain outside Box. Use Box as governance layer but not storage element.

  16. Records Retention Functionality

    This is a very old idea that should available for Box users. Dealing with real records retention not retention policies as currently used in Box. Records/Document retention deals with the management of information thru its lifecycle - Records/documents are created, used, store, archived, kept permanently (for administrative, legal, fiscal, and historical reasons) or destroyed. Currently, there is no way to apply records retention rules or schedules to Box, which means that we are only dumping content instead of managing the content based on its value - based on a company's records retention schedules. Why not put together a group of…

  17. Present metadata more prominent when selecting a file from a folder file list

    Metadata will be shown for a selected file in the lowest level of the Details area. Practically no user knows that metadata exists for that file. So metadata should be presented more prominent, or get an extra area.

  18. Add a tab in the admin console to find all active betas

    It's difficult to find the beta sign up link for betas in the admin console. They are not all in one place.

    Please create a tab in the admin console to find all active betas a customer can sign up for. This will standardize beta enrollment and improve our experience.

  20. Perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files which they can access

    Requesting to perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files they have access to, not just the ones they own. Include fields like – date modified, created date, and any other file attributes normally included in the file and folder report.

    The File and Folder reporting mechanism but it’s lacking features to perform an inventory across hundreds of specific folders (in an environment where a lot of folders have the same name).

    The content manager, only reports on files that users own and they don’t own files in our taxonomy. The initial view looks good as…
