Option to Remove Expiration of a Collaborator after Auto-Expiration is disabled
Admin request option when disabling Auto-Expiration feature for collaborators within Enterprise:
- Allow option to choose extension date for pre-existing collaborators who's access is going to expire.
- Allow option to disable/remove auto expiration for collaborators by Admin or Owner.
This will affect multiple user across our enterprise where they will have to be re-invited to folders since expiration cannot be removed.
9 votesThank you for your note! We will consider this request with additional demand.

User-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the User level
This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults at the user level. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a user can generate Open Shared Links (e.g., disable open links per user), invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated by that user, even if those users are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.
30 votesWe are currently focused on building groups for access to 1st and 3rd party apps and specific enterprise settings in Box rather than focusing on groups or individual users for sharing controls. Uservoice request here: pulse.box.com/admin/v3/suggestions/36670615
To achieve granular sharing controls, you can explore using Box Shield to classify sensitive content and set access policies to that content.

Collaborators Page (Item-Level) -- Add Ability to Sort by Column Headers / Filter by External Collab
The Collaborators page (at the file/folder level) currently does not allow any sorting capabilities. Add a simple ability to click the column headers to change the sort order to things like "added most recently at top" or "reverse alphabetical order by name".
Additionally, adding an "external?' filter to only show external collaborators in the folder would be awesome.
58 votesDue to other higher priority items, we are not planning on this at this time.

Ability to highlight single column in box notes.
You can't currently highlight a single column in box notes, but you can highlight a single row. This would be helpful for formatting and organization.
2 votesUnfortunately, we are unable to accommodate this request on a one-off basis. Thank you for your suggestion!

Allow users to manually prompt Box Drive upgrade from the Drive menu.
If a user's machine is running, they will receive the prompt to upgrade to a new version, even if they are not actively using their machine. This will cause users to miss the upgrade prompt for 24 hours.
We would ask that messaging is added to the Drive menu letting a user know that a "new version is available." If they click this, they will again receive the prompt to upgrade.

Live update of comments while in preview mode
We'd like to have comments from other users automatically post & update real time for other collaborators who have the document open in Preview to see. Currently users have to refresh the screen or exit and re-enter the file to see a new comment if they are already in Preview mode

Open Shared Link Controls: Prevent Open Shared Folder Links without Disabling Company Folder Shared Links
Right now you can't disable Open folder links without disabling Company folder links. The native Box setting for this is too restrictive (prevents sharing folders internally other than via collaboration).
18 votesWe are currently focussed on bulk operations with managing Shared links.

Add "additional_details" to events endpoint for MOVE, COPY, RENAME events
Presently, security & events reports run from the admin console include "change details" for these events - essentially, what the prior state was before the event occurred. The events endpoint does not include these details.
Request to add this to the additional_details of an event as it's reported through the admin events stream for the MOVE, COPY, and RENAME events.
If RENAME, show previous name of the folder
If MOVE/COPY, show previous parent of the folder10 votes -
Receive notification when transfer of content is completed
When deleting and transferring content to another user and an error is thrown, it is not clear to the user when all the content has successfully been moved due to the error message thrown.
We would like to know when all the content has finally completed so we can delete the user without any concerns.

Add a warning when an admin tries to change their subdomain in the admin console
It will break all existing shared links unless admins have the "spoofing" setting enabled. By association, embedded content will stop working too.
The request is to add sufficient warning.

Option to request access to a folder
Request: If an external or internal user is forwarded a Box folder invite and they are not a current collaborator, they should have a mechanism to request the access and such request should automatically go to folder Owner/Co-owner for approval or decline. This should be done in a way that does not display or communicate the folder owners name.
Rationale: We have many external users that are part of large teams. Adding all (and maintaining) in the team is not feasible. These external users often forward the folder invites.
40 votesI would like to understand the use case better. Is the folder being shared externally using the shared link feature?

Set an expiration date on collaborations in a folder
Similar to how shared links can expire.

Enable API apps for select users
Right now, we can disable published APIs for all users, or enable them - we'd like the ability to restrictively enable.
3 votesWe currently do not plan to selectively enable or disable access to the Box API for specific users within an enterprise.

Shared Link Lookup Tool
Problem: Admins often need to do investigation of files stored in Box and all they have to go off of is the file/folder's shared link. Since admins can't search by shared link in the current Content Manager UI, a Shared Link Lookup tool would provide similar information.
Key Features:
-Provide ability to enter a shared link (standard or vanity URL)
-Information returned after searching:
-File/folder name
-File/folder owner
-File/folder location (Owner -> Folder hierarchy)
-Status (whether the file/folder has been deleted or not)
-Admin-level 'delete' (ability for the admin to delete the file on the spot)53 votesThank you for your input. This idea is considered for future roadmap. Please reach out to me if you like to share your use case.

Option to Show Full Folder Hierarchy when Added Only to Subfolder
Right now, when collaborators are added to a folder, they are not able to see the folder hierarchy that is above the level at which they were added. This is great in many situations.
However, there are various scenarios where customers would like users to have the 'full view' of the folder hierarchy above.
