Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)
Use Case:
- There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
- This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
- Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folderCurrently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:
Option 1:
Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
Export the report
Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column

Ability to show Full path from root to collaborated folder
If i have a folder in the following structure
/1/2/3
and I invited User B to Folder 3
When User B access Folder 3 he would have no idea that folder 3 is actually in the path /1/2/3.On Box platform however, there is an optional parameter "canviewpath",
while this can only be used by the folder owner it adds to ability to let collaborator see the folder from root to target folder.28 votesThanks for the feedback. This is not currently planned on our roadmap, but please do keep contributing use cases for evaluation in a future cycle.

Notification "new version" upload
Notify the folder group when a new version is uploaded.
Currently only when the first version is uploaded, a notification is sent. If version 2 is uploaded, the folder group does not get a notification.26 votes -

Export Groups - Add an 'Export Groups' Button to Groups Summary Page & Individual Group Page
There is currently no way for admins to export a report (xlsx) of their Groups - whether at the summary Groups level or at the individual Group level
This is problematic for companies that have pages and pages of Groups in the Admin Console, or want to manage just one group (as the current Export Users report from the Users page - the only place any Group info IS currently exported - exports ALL users in an EID, which is overload).
REQUEST 1: Groups Summary Export - Desired Columns:
1 Row per Group / Mirror the Columns on the Groups…41 votesInteresting idea, but unlikely to be prioritized this year.

Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"
Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"
We would like to request an improvement in the synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive so that they can be synchronized within 5 seconds.
Our investigation of the synchronization speed is based on the following items.Pattern (3) Upload to Box Drive and check the screen update on WebUI: Result: No automatic update even after waiting for more than 5 minutes.
Pattern (5) Delete the file on WebUI and check the update on Box Drive: Result: 20 seconds
Pattern 6: Delete the file on the Box Drive…46 votes -

Create a hyperlink to a point within the same note
Box Notes are wonderful, but after a certain length, they can become unwieldy to navigate. Other services, including Dropbox, offer the ability to hyperlink to a headlines section (text marked as H1, H2) to create a functional contents segment.
Please could we have the ability to hyperlink within documents, at leas to text tagged as a header

Enable shared link expiration notifications for user that enabled the shared link
For a closed folder structure, where the primary admin owns all content, Box should give the ability to 1) disable shared link expiration notifications for folder owners and 2) enable them specifically for the users that created the shared link to begin with.
Even if the former will not be changed, the latter behavior would be important for a closed folder structure.

Allow for multiple primary admins
There are several functions within the Admin Console that are only accessible to the primary admin. Setting up SSO for example requires the primary admin, and co-admins are unable to integrate with SSO. In many environments there will not be a single administrator with privileged access across multiple systems, which means the primary admin role will need to be assigned and re-assigned multiple times to perform necessary tasks.
To promote a secure environment where tasks may need to be performed by multiple administrators, I would request either 1) admin console allow for multiple users in the primary admin role, or…

Report / Customizable dashboard for a workflow
I would like to get an overall view of my workflow and which files are at which stages, including:
- How many files are in Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc.
- How many files have completed
- How many files were denied (or stopped in process)32 votes -
Changes to workflow builder functionality
Create changes to workflow builder functionality:
1. Allow folder Editors to be able to build workflows (we have very few co-admins)
2. Allow the workflow builder to specify who is assigning the task (or make it generic.) Just because Bob builds the workflow doesn't mean his name should be on the assigning task.25 votesThanks for your feedback!
1. Editors are now able to build workflows (delivered in Q1)
2. We’ll certainly investigate the task assignee feedback in future feature updates as well, thanks! -
Add "Updated/Changed" File Event as a Trigger
Add "Updated/Changed" File Event as a Trigger.
Triggering a Relay on a specific file when it has been updated directly or updated with an upload, maintaining file history.
The current workaround is to create a "New upload" Trigger, then the file needs to be Deleted and create/uploaded from new, thus requiring 2 steps and losing file history.

Templates - Restrict Templates to Specific Users/Groups and/or Folder Structures
Metadata templates are currently global across an entire EID. This does not scale well for large organizations with 50,000, 100,000 or more than 200,000 users.
This request is to add 'scope' parameters to Metadata Templates such that a specific template can be restricted to...
1. A specific set of users
2. A specific set of Groups
3. A specific Folder structure41 votesWe are currently scoping this effort, and plan to include it in our roadmap soon.

login page Customization
The login page is very confusing for our external collaborators. Despite the creation of "How to log on to Box" with pictures, external collaborators still click on the wrong link as the "Continue" button (for our managed users) is very large compare to the small font link for the external collaborators. The natural instinct is to click on "Continue" which gives the external collaborator an error since they are not part of the "managed users" and will not be able to SSO to our Box. Our staff is having to help our external customer on regular basis.
Can the login…33 votesWe are going to prioritize making the login page more intuitive rather than providing customization capability.

Bulk Edit - Add 'Status' column to Bulk Edit spreadsheet
There is no way in the Admin Console to update 'status' (active, inactive, etc.) for 2 or more users at once (aka in bulk).
22 votesEnhancements to the Bulk Add/Edit feature are not currently on the roadmap, but will keep track of this request and consider prioritizing if many customers are requesting it. User status can be edited via API or SAML

Playback Speed on Mobile for Videos
I would like to play video contents with double speed in the mobile app's preview mode.
Currently you can change the speed of the video on web but it is not possible on mobile.
It would be great if you can add the playback speed (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) on mobile too.Thank you for your consideration.

Enhance user experience for searching files with tag
As legal department, we manage contract documents using tag but when we search files filtering with them, user experience is not intuitive when I follow steps described below.
- search a keyword filtering with tag
- change the keyword on search box
- filter for tag set in 1 is reset and disappeared
Also, we would like to search file filtering with tag without any keywords in the search box as populating keyword is currently a must to start to search unlike Metadata, which is also inconvenient.

Permanent Folder Tree View in Webapp (Similar to Windows Explorer/Finder)
Currently we have a 'jump to folder' option that provides a modal for navigating by using a folder tree view. Many customers would like this same tree view of their content as a permanent sidebar in the webapp for faster/easier 1) navigation and 2) context for where they're at in any given folder tree.

When I upload Excel to BoxSign, I want it to become PDF as per the print settings of Excel.
When I upload Excel to BoxSign, I want it to become PDF as per the print settings of Excel.
For Example, a file created in Excel with the print settings set to A4 becomes 2page PDF files when uploaded to BoxSign.
This can be avoided by converting the files to PDF before uploading them to BoxSign, but if all the files are converted and then uploaded, the man-hours and number of files increases, which raises concerns about operational efficiency and data management, so we would like to see improvements.ExcelをBoxSignにアップロードした際Excelの印刷設定通りにPDFになるようにして欲しい
例えば、Excelで印刷設定をA4にあわせて作成したファイルがBoxSignにアップロードした際に2ページのPDFになります。
BoxSignへアップロードする前にPDFに変換を行えば回避できますが、全て変換を行ってアップロードを行うと工数とファイル数が増えて、
業務効率やデータ管理上の懸念点があるため改善を希望します。22 votes
