  1. Request improvement so that users who do not have output permission do not display the download button for Content Insight activities

    For users who cannot create a folder in the root folder in a closed environment, pressing the "Download" button on the Content Insights activity will result in the error message "Sorry, the report could not be generated. Please try again." .
    If the download button is displayed, users who do not have the output authority will mistakenly think that they can download the report, and error messages will appear and the number of inquiries to the administrator will increase.
    Therefore, we would like to see improvements.

    <出力権限のないユーザーにコンテンツインサイトのアクティビティのダウンロードボタンを表示させないよう改善を希望>
    クローズド環境でルートフォルダにフォルダを作成できないユーザーの場合、コンテンツインサイトのアクティビティの「ダウンロード」ボタンを押すと、「レポートを生成できませんでした。後でもう一度やり直してください。」というエラーが表示されます。
    ダウンロードボタンが存在することで、出力権限がないユーザーもダウンロードできると勘違いしてしまい、エラーが表示され管理者への問い合わせが増えるため、出力権限がないユーザーにはコンテンツインサイトのアクティビティのダウンロードボタンを表示させないように改善を希望します。

  2. Adding custom shapes to Canvas

    I would like to be able to add shapes to Canvas, for example the AWS shape library to mirror the behaviour of another white boarding tool we're currently using.

    This would allow us to collaborate on complex architecture diagrams using very specific shapes/icons.

    Some ways this could be introduced:
    -shapes available to all Canvas users
    - or the ability to add templates pre-populated with custom shapes
    -or the ability to upload custom shapes for the entire instance

  3. I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files

    Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
    As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages

    ■procedure
     ①Lock the target file
     ②Download the file and update it locally
     ③Upload updated files
     ④Unlock

    ■demerit
     Many steps and cumbersome
     If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.

    Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

  4. Relay stacking

    I would like to be able to apply relays for folders that don't exist yet. If I create a relay for a folder to be created, I'd like to be able to stack that for the sub folders.

    For example each year I create quarterly folders and then I can automatically copy files into those folders. Right now I have to wait until I create the folders to build the relay to copy files.

  5. Offer option to "auto focus = false" in Box Embed to prevent page scrolling

    When embedding Box documents via iFrame, the Preview SDK has Autofocus set to True. This means that Chrome web browser will "jump" to the HTML section that has the iframe and not stay at the top of the page.

    I'm requesting the option to set autoFocus: false to prevent this. Note this has been an issue for many years, based on postings here: https://github.com/box/box-content-preview/issues/960

  6. BOX Sign - Creating templates without attaching document

    We use BOX sign for approval of signatures in all types of documents. It would be a nice feature to be able to create a template for each approver without having to upload a document when creating the template. The only why I can accomplish this right now is to upload a blank document in the template. Then when I use the template I have to replace the blank document with whatever document that we need approval.

  7. Issue with File Viewing Recorded as Editing ファイル閲覧が編集として記録される問題

    I would like to request an improvement regarding the issue where simply viewing a file is recorded as editing. Viewing and editing are different activities and should be recorded and displayed separately.

    ファイルを閲覧しただけでも編集者として記録される現象について、改善を希望します。閲覧と編集は異なるアクティビティで、別々に記録・表示されるべきだと考えます。

  9. Request to improve behavior where updaters are visible only when operating from mobile

    Hi Box Teams,

    I would like to improve the following behavior.

    Problem behavior:
    If non-collaborators access the People with the link from Box's web app, they won't see who updated the file, but if they access it from Box's mobile app, they'll see who updated the file.

    This problem occurs when a folder's co-owner or owner updates a file. If the user has the permission of the editor or lower, the user who updated the file is displayed as "Anonymous".

    Expected Behavior:
    Since we have set the folder so that only the owner or co-owner can see the information, we…

  10. Allow groups to be specified as 'notified to' in Box Shield Threat Detection Rules

    Only user accounts can be specified for the 'Notification Destination' of the Threat Detection rules in Box Shield.
    Since maintenance is required when the person in charge changes, it should be possible to specify a group.

    ■In Japanese:
    Box shieldに存在する検出ルールの「通知の送信先」は、ユーザーアカウントのみが指定できます。
    担当者が変わったときメンテナンスが必要になるので、グループを指定できるようにしてください。

  12. Closed folder structure

    "My Sign Requests", "My Canvases" and "My Signed Documents" folders are created as private folders technically by Box, without any admin intervention. When using a closed folder structure, these folders can still be used by users to build their own folder structures, as they become the owner of this folder. This counteracts the idea of a closed folder system and represents a massive security gap. Users can then build folder structures and content in our box instance without any control by the admin and share them with external users.

    These technically generated folders must therefore be restricted accordingly, or admins…

  14. 【Box Relay】About email notifications for approval requests

    Relayにて承認タスクを割り当てた際にメッセージ欄に関連する資料のURLを記載して依頼を行っている
    現状リンクが有効になっておらず、関連資料を確認する手間が発生している
    必要な資料をすぐに確認できるよう通知メールから記載されているURLにアクセスできるように通知メールのURLリンクを有効化してほしい

    When assigning an approval task on Relay, the request is made by writing the URL of the related document in the message field.
    Currently the links are not valid and it takes time to check related materials.
    I would like you to enable the URL link in the notification email so that you can access the URL listed in the notification email so that you can quickly check the necessary materials.

  15. Improvement of the interval at which the version history of BoxNotes is automatically saved

    As the support article below states, "While you're working in Box Notes, we automatically save your changes as a new version roughly every 5 minutes or after 5 minutes of inactivity. "
    However, if you continue to operate, it will only update the "current version" and will not automatically save a new version every 5 minutes.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043692834-Box-Notes%E3%81%AE%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E5%B1%A5%E6%AD%B4%E3%81%AE%E8%BF%BD%E8%B7%A1
    We would like to improve the function so that the version will be updated every 5 minutes even if the operation is being performed continuously.
    In addition, since there is information that would be troublesome if it disappears due to an operation error,…

  16. Automatic compression functionality

    Implement automatic compression of media files (especially videos) or the ability to stream compressed ones only during preview.
    Examples of requested features that are useful for business:
    Ease preview restrictions on media files.
    Eliminate the need to process files (separate or compress files).
    Reduce resources on Box and traffic on the network.

  17. Box for Outlook Add-in fixed to save emails as .msg

    When trying to save an email using the "Save to Box" Add-in, the only option is .eml. This was an old format for outlook express. Once an email is saved in this format, it cannot be opened in Outlook client. There needs to be an option for .msg. Using the File > Save As option allows you to change the extention, but that is extra steps. Outlook web will allow you to open the saved email, but you cannot save it as a .msg after the fact.

  19. Provide option to omit the Signup and Login buttons from shared links (downloladable)

    Please provide the option to omit the Signup and Login buttons for shared links (downloadable).

    The presence of the Signup and Login buttons reduces the value of our Box.com account since the only way to circumvent the Box.com marketing fluff is to copy file from box to our CMS rather than just referencing our Box.com files. The existence of the Signup button both on the preview and pop-up that displays after clicking download results in calls to our support center from visitors to our website. The embed widget unfortunately doesn't improve the issue. Alternatively, if we could embed the Box…
