  2. Separate shared links for internal and external users.

    We want to be able to share links internally and externally. External shared links should only be available for 10 days while internal shared links should not expire.

    Interesting suggestion! However, this is not planned at this time due to competing priorities.

  4. SSO Required to have exemptions for Admin(s)

    This actually makes a lot of sense as we have it for Device Trust, but we would like SSO Required WHILST exempting an admin or two. If the IdP is down, no one can get in and this would create a catastrophic business impact.

    This is not currently prioritized. We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

  5. Ability to use JavaScript to customize the Box & Salesforce integration

    We would like to be able to use JavaScript to access existing Box folders/files in the Salesforce & Box integration vs using APEX.

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

    We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

  6. Ability to export reports in CSV format

    CSV is more useful than Excel when they export logs because some our internal system can import only CSV format (not Excel). It's more convenient to give an option to choose CSV or Excel as export type.

    Because the admin can save the Excel file as a CSV and we do not want to overpopulate the user interface with too many choices, it is unlikely that we will address this request.

  7. Prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files

    When some user invites an external collaborator as "Editor" to some folder, the external user can delete any files in the folder. The deleted file is sent to the external collaborator's trash. It's not good for some security-centric customer, so they need the function to prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files to protect their assets.

    This should be managed through our existing permissions framework rather than a specific policy. If an external user deletes a file, it also lives in the owner’s trash folder who is a managed user in this instance.

  10. Enhanced Locking User Experience / Show 'Would you like to lock?' Pop-Up After Clicking 'Open'

    When I go to open a file from the webapp, I want Box to help me be a good collaborator, meaning prompt me with "would you like to lock this file while editing?" before the file actually opens (via Box Edit).

    This isn't a request for a different lock/unlock flow with Box Edit -- it's a request for an enhanced experience between when a user clicks the 'open' button in the web app and when Box Edit actually kicks in.

    ISSUE: Box's lock/unlock UX is very 'soft' right now, compared to SharePoint's and a traditional Windows file server. As such,…

    Locking file has its own drawbacks about causing files to be inaccessible. We encourage users to use Office Online as a solution to avoid conflicts.

    Please update with customer requesting the feature.

  13. Add setting in "Group settings" that would allow users to remove themselves from a group

    Users could be presented with the option to remove themselves from a group when they try to remove themselves from a folder that they inherit through a group. This should only be available if the group settings allow this behaviour.

    It would be beneficial to have a warning message which shares what other folders will have access revoked.

    This is a very niche use case that could help customers, but also negatively impact other customers.

    I would like to better understand the root problem before adding complexity to the product.

  16. Invite Collaborators Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Automatically Remove Collaborator on X Date' Field

    Right now, auto-expiration for collaborators is only provided as an option from within the Admin Console.

    REQUEST: Add a 'automatically remove this/these collaborator(s) on X date' checkbox to the Invite Collabs Pop-Up, with the default being to have it unchecked, of course.

    We have API endpoints already to add an expiration to an individual collaboration (https://docs.box.com/v2.0/reference#edit-a-collaboration), meaning admins can do this on our own via API. We would like the same type of option/functionality natively in the webapp UI as well.

  18. Renaming and moving files/folders: include old and new names and locations in Enterprise Events call

    If renaming or moving a file or folder, Usage Log reports include both the new and old names, and new and old locations. The old location and old name are missing from Enterprise Events via the Content API.

    Thank you for this request! We do not plan on prioritizing this at the moment. We’ll continue to monitor demand.

  19. Add Ability to Download And/or Copy from Trash Page

    Users are interested in having a functionality added to the Trash where they would be able to either download content directly from the Trash or copy the items they would like to be restored to a new location in their Box account.

    This would be most beneficial in the use case when an admin is reviewing a user's profile that is going to be deleted. They would like to be able to review the items in the user's Trash and identify which items may need to be restored and to what location.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  20. Add folder/file path to usage log reports

    Currently, the usage log report only shows the most recent folder that it lives within, and not the entire path.
