  1. Ability to import/export group information to edit

    To edit group settings efficiently, it's helpful that Box Admin can import/export group information for bulk edit.

    There is a clear ask for bulk operations (edit/delete/add) for user management in the Admin Console, but we are currently focusing on making our user management pages and APIs scale and perform more quickly. While this is on our radar, we are not currently prioritizing this on our near term roadmap.

  2. Expire all shared links at parent-level folder

    Request the ability to expire all shared links generated within a parent folder on a selected date. Shared links should still be able to be generated independently on files, subfolders, etc. but have the ability to control & manage the expiration holistically at the parent level.

    We do not plan to implement this for the time being. We will reconsider with additional demand or use cases.

    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

  4. Error message for failure of password change is not clear.

    For instance, typing current password or last time's password in new password field will showing same message "please make sure all field is valid."

  5. The ability to set the report name when the Export Report option on any report

    Exported reports currently write with a standard name of the report type with date and time but it is challenging when I have reports with almost similar names and the only difference is the date and time. It is confusing to ID a report when I run the same report multiple times.

    If users can specify the report name when exporting it, it would make it easier to jump to the report. I know users can rename the report but it would be a lot easier and more efficient if the report is named right from the start.

    Thank you for submitting this request. 

    I would like to inform that it is currently not on the product development roadmap for the nearest future. 

    Please keep sharing your feedback for this idea. 


    Thank you!

  9. Auto-Created 'All Users' Group

    Add the option to the Groups tab to have a 'smart' group that auto-adds all Managed Users - this is a commonly used practice to provide all users with a 'getting started' folder, but currently must be either managed manually or sent to Box via SAML (meaning the customer must keep the group updated in AD).

  10. Admin report or interface showing exactly where in a given file the Upload Policy was violated.

    We are leveraging the Policies engine to create Upload Policies to detect and prevent PII from being uploaded into Box. When the upload policy exception is triggered, we would like to see a report or somewhere on the screen exactly where in the document the file violated the policy.

    Ideally, by knowing what exactly triggered the policy, we would then use the 'Mark as False Positive' feature in the Content Manager Quarantine location to improve the Policy Engine's accuracy accordingly.

  11. Bulk Delete (Delete 2 or more users at once)

    Add a native Bulk Delete tool on the Users tab of the Admin Console to complement the existing Bulk Add and Bulk Edit tools that we already have.

    Key Asks:
    1. Use a similar Excel sheet as the Bulk Add/Bulk Edit tool
    2. Ability to have a column with the user email to be deleted
    3. A column to choose who to automatically transfer the user's content to (the spreadsheet version of the existing Delete & Transfer UI that we have)
    4. Columns to choose whether to notify each user (the user being deleted and the user receiving the deleted…

    We are not planning releasing bulk delete functionality at this time since we are focusing our efforts on building faster and more usable users pages. We will revisit this feature request next year.

  13. Manage Quarantine Programmatically (via API)

    There is no way to manage the quarantine process programmatically. As a result, we must individually release / delete quarantined files via the UI.

    Given that the policies have a tendency to generate false positives, this process becomes very time consuming and difficult to manage and requires valuable IT time to click buttons (often for hours).

    At our scale, and since we opt to use DLP policies, it's impossible to manage.

  14. Prevent users from creating accounts with "/" or "\" in the username

    When users delete and transfer content in Box, a new folder will be created in the new users folder with a users username if that username include a / or \ if will throw and error. To prevent this from happening, please add restrictions in the username to prevent new accounts from being created with "/" or "\"

  15. Report on Folder Security settings changes

    Would like changes to Folder Security settings to show in the Event stream and in Usage Logs. Since all Owners and Co-Owners of folders have access to these configurations, this is crucial to tracking changes to the security of sensitive content.

  16. Invite Collaborators Modal -- Use Correct Sort Order for Permissions Drop-Down (Co-owner above Editor)

    REQUEST: Update the sort order of the permissions dropdown on the Invite Collaborators modal to follow the same sorting as the Sharing sidebar (which has Co-owner listed above Editor).

  17. Email Notifications for Expiring External Collaborators

    In addition to the owner of the folder receiving a notification that a collaboration is expiring, the user who initiated (invited) the collaborator, and the collaborator themselves receive notifications.

  18. Support Embedded Audio/Video when Previewing PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) Files

    Presentations sometimes have embedded audio/video, and when viewing the file in Box Preview, these embedded media components do not render/play.

    This request is to allow this embedding to be rendered and exposed in Box Preview.

  19. Major/minor flagging or differentiation in their version history.

    It is important to be able to manage milestone updates to a single document that can be referred back to, both major and minor.

    Some of this has been compounded by the additional versions created by autosave when using MS Office concurrent editing.

  20. Automatically change file modified date upon upload if modified date is out of range and upload fails

    We are trying to upload files that have a modified date of year 1600. We would like for Box to automatically change the modified date upon upload instead of the upload failing

    If files have a modified date outside the UNIX range (1970-2038), the upload will fail.

    Thank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.
