  1. Comment Reply Thread and integration with Office Comments

    I have recently had to stop people from using the Box comment feature, as it was adding unnecessary tasks to my workflow, because it does not allow the author to respond to comments, and when i open a word document to edit, the comments disappear. Commenting feature needs to integrate with Office in order to be useful for reviewing MS office documents. As the author i 'must' be able to respond, and close comments, AND when i open the document for edit, i MUST be able to see the comments. The MS Office comment feature is fantastic and if Box…

  2. Please add detailed logging for upload issues/failures

    Please add logging for upload errors so admins can properly troubleshoot errors. Right now there's no information shown beyond the folder causing an upload issue and no details on why the upload failed ie: file or folder name, format, length, etc.

  4. Shield alert to show more than 90 days

    Currently the Shield dashboard only show up to 90 days of alerts.
    I would like to have the option to have all of the past alert and be able to filter it by custom date filter.

  5. Drop downs to accomodate for State, Country and Currency

    Retail use case where we would like to be able to apply metadata to a store such as state and country. Ideally have a drop down list of the 50 states to easily choose from and have a consistent format instead of having using type it in.
    Finance and Retail use case to be able to apply metadata for a dollar amount and ideally have a currently drop down that include USD $

  6. We want to be able to see uploaders' email addresses in box drive.

    We have an Box-powered upload spot on our website that feeds into a Box folder. Clients upload documents to us using this upload, and they are required to add their email address. In the browser version of Box it shows the email address of who uploaded the document in a column titled "Updated". In Box Drive, we can't see these email addresses. It would be very helpful to be able to see these email addresses in the windows file explorer using Box Drive.

  7. Shortcut for file locking

    When you open a file and click the "Lock file to prevent others from editing it" message can we have some simple click boxes showing the lock time options rather than a drop menu, this would solve the problem where the application opens before you get chance to lock the file..

  8. Overwrite when uploading a file with the same name in Box for iOS

    If a file with the same name as a file stored in the Box is uploaded, the Web browser will overwrite the file and update the file version.
    However, on iPhones and iPads, when a file with the same name is attempted to be uploaded to Box for iOS, a "name conflict" error occurs and it cannot be overwritten.

    Currently, 4,000 employees on site are provided with iPads to manage drawings and report forms in Box.
    It is possible to add notes on the Box preview screen. However, since the added notes are lost when printed or downloaded, we would…

  9. Microsoft auto-save to Box for Mac users

    For Mac users, it would be great if Box can be integrated as a storage location within Microsoft applications (eg. PowerPoint, Excel, Word, etc.). For Mac users, the auto-save slider in Microsoft Apps is disabled because the Box storage location is not specified. Please find a solution.

  10. Aspect ratio of files imported by Box Sign

    Aspect ratio of files imported by Box Sign
    When loading PowerPoint or Word into Box Sign, the aspect ratio may be changed and converted to PDF.
    I would like it to be converted to PDF with the aspect ratio of the original file.

    <Box Signで読み込んだファイルの縦横比について>
    Box Signで、PowerPointやWordを読み込んだ際に、縦横比が変更された状態でPDFに変換されることがある。
    元ファイルの縦横比を保ったままPDF化されるようにしてほしい。

  11. I want to create a temporary file when using Box Sign templates.

    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/4404094944915
    When sharing templates on the above page, we recommend adding collaborators as "viewers". However, if the template save folder and completed document save location are set to "Viewer", the file name cannot be changed.
    If you use this as is, files with numbers such as "(1)" in the template file name will be mass-produced, and visibility will be poor.

    I would like to be able to copy the template file to a temporary folder before "sending a request" and be able to change the file name.
    This will prevent unnecessary files from being saved in the template folder if…

  12. Bandwidht monitor and reports

    As there is this mostly new policy in regards of the bandwidth limit per user (1 Tb), which in case of any user using more than the limit will automatically closes the account (loosing all the information), I suggest the creation of a command which allows the admin to monitor very clear the bandwidth usage, so measures can be taken if the limit is being reached.

  13. BoxDrive behavior of files with the “Browser Use Only” classification label

    We are considering setting up a "Browser Only" classification label for collaborative editing of Office applications to enforce download restrictions so that collaborative editing is only possible in the browser.
    However, when a user tries to open a file with the "Browser Only" label, the viewer and previewer will not be able to open the file because of the download restriction.
    Also, when opening BoxNote from BoxDrive, you will be redirected to the browser, but Office files must be opened by right-clicking on Box.com and previewing them, and when editing, you must perform online editing.

  14. Using Box with FTPS and MFA

    We would like to use automated scripts to upload files to Box using FTPS. We would also like MFA enabled for our internal users. Box has advised that:
    1. They do not provide service accounts to facilitate this
    2. They do not allow per-user control over MFA settings
    3. The process to login when MFA is enabled is manual and cannot be automated.
    4. FTPS only works with SMS MFA

    We would like the following product enhancements:
    1. Automated MFA Support: The ability for automated scripts to interact with MFA, perhaps through a secure token-based system or service account that…

  15. Enable AutoCAD Drawing History Comparison

    Our company is considering moving our AutoCAD files over to Box.com. We put some files on Box as a test run and AutoCAD's Drawing History feature allows us to see the version history of those files. However, there is a tool that is supposed to allow for you to click on that list of past versions and compare one to another but that feature isn't working currently, even though it works on other cloud services like one drive. AutoCAD said its on Box's end since it worked with other cloud services, but Box said they can't guarantee this feature would…

  18. Provide notification when auto-provisioning of user accounts fails because a Box account already exists.

    We use auto-provisioning to create Box accounts in our Box managed enterprise environment. When a user is added to a specific group in Azure AD, this kicks off something that creates the account in our Box environment. However, it is possible that users have an existing lite Box account from former roles. When this happens the auto provisioning fails without warning due to a duplicate account. We would like to be notified when this happens. We can see the error in the Azure logs but those are not easy to use for alerting due to sheer size and think this…

    Hello all,


    Thanks for requesting this feature. The product team reviewed this request and added to our backlog for consideration. We look to revisit this next year and once we start working on this, we will update the status. 


    Thanks,

  20. On Mac, Box Drive has problems opening files after install of Box Tools

    I use Box Drive on my Mac. Ever since installing Box Tools, I am having problems opening files. In particular, after a file was recently opened, changed, and closed, the file seems to get "stuck" syncing back to Box. It freezes up and will no longer re-open or finish uploading unless I fully quit Box Drive and restart it. This happens even if I tell it to refresh the folder or wait for an extensive period of time.

    I'm not sure why there is no better way to report a bug, but my "idea" is for this bug to please…
