  1. We would like to see Box Hubs have a separate shared link permission setting

    Currently, Hub shared links can be allowed from “Enterprise Setting” > “Content & Sharing”, but with the current settings, if Hub shared links are disabled, general folder and file shared links will also be restricted, which is very inconvenient.
    Therefore, please consider making the shared link setting of the Hub independent, and allow shared links to be allowed for each individual Hub.

    【日本語】
    現在Hubの共有リンクは、「管理コンソール」>「コンテンツと共有」から許可できますが、現在の設定値ではHubの共有リンクを禁止すると、通常のフォルダとファイルの共有リンクにも制限がかかってしまい非常に不便です。
    そのためHubの共有リンク設定を独立させ、Hub個別で共有リンクの許可を行えるよう検討をお願いします。

  2. Be able to have the folders which are shared with other collaborators "invisible" in Drive.

    In Box Drive UI, a user cannot distinguish whether the folder is collaborated with "Other company's user" or not. This may cause accidental info leak.

    In order to avoid those information leaking, we want to have those folders "invisible" on Box Drive in advance.

  3. Show icon in Drive for parent folders when sub-folders are marked for offline

    Currently, users are easily able to manage the hard drive space being used by BOX by simply checking into their sync folder and deciding then what they may prioritize as necessary to sync or un-sync at a quick glance. Even in the instances where there are multiple folders and sub-folders included, it’s a clear representation of what’s being synced at the time.

    These same users currently sync A LOT of files within a fairly deep folder structure, so not having an insight into which folders are taking up space only leaves a user to chicken peck around in the…

  4. Box Sign capability for Enterprises with restrictive shared link policy

    We are not able to initiate a signing request using existing content from our Box instance however, we can by choosing and uploading a file from our file system. Support is telling me that our organization's shared link setting of "Shared links can be accessed by: people in your company and people in this folder only" is causing this behavior and that Box Sign will not work unless we change it to "People with this link" Can the capability to use Box Sign with our current settings be enabled?

  5. Shared link - colour code the link icon to advise who it is shared with Public, invited only etc

    Currently if a file or folder has shared link enabled it, it places a blue symbol between the file name and last updated date. You have 2 options to see what the shared link is enabled as either by clicking onto the link symbol and it shows the properties of the enabled link or highlighting the folder/file and looking at details on the right hand side.

    It would be better if the symbol was perhaps a different colour to show it was the different status e.g blue -invited only - green - people in your company - red -public

  6. Ability to re-arrange All Files page on Drive, including external folders, for organizational purposes.

    We would like to be able to move non-owned and external folders around for organizational purposes on their private Drive, without impacting the actual external/owner of the folder. For example: Company X shared Folder A with me at Company Y. I would like to move Folder A to my Company X folder in Drive so it's not clogging my All Files page (without this impacting Company X's folder).

    Thanks for the suggestion! We’re looking at ways to improve content sprawl in the future on Box Drive. We’ll consider your suggestion, along with other options, to help solve this problem.

  7. Editable shared link to take precendence over collaborator permission

    Collaborator permissions currently take precedence over shared link permissions. As a result, users accessing an editable shared links can't edit a file if they have viewer permission on the folder. In our case, we have an open folder accessible to all staff as viewer with all content accessible from our intranet. We would like to be able to create editable shared link for users to contribute to selected files.

  8. Access policy prohibiting copying and moving to external folders(gray folders)

    Current Status and Issues:
    Currently, when a file or folder with a classification label is copied or moved to a gray folder, the classification is lost and the associated access policy stops working.
    The only way to prevent this is to prohibit the move or copy itself by attaching a DL inhibit label.

    Desired improvement:
    Please add "Prohibit copying to gray folders" to the access policy so that it can be set for each classification label.

    Why it is needed:
    Because some customers are not attracted to Shield due to the above problem.
    Also, setting a "no download" label…

  9. Relay: Trigger from External shared folder

    Would like the ability to create Box Relay workflows where the trigger is in an External folder. My specific use case is our bookkeeping partner provides us dozens of files per day across several processes, and they use Box on their end to manage that process. We'd like to have for the folders that they share with us the ability to create a Relay flow that would trigger when they add files to those folders (e.g. When a new file is added to External ABC, create a copy in Internal ABC and notify some users).

    This would allow us to…

  12. Box Drive support for bookmarks to files and folders

    Box Web allows you to paste a link to a file or folder as a bookmark to quickly jump to that location. It would be great to have this work for Box Drive as well. The main use case is that we are moving from traditional Windows file shares to Box Drive. The experience is similar in that the files and folders are mapped in a hierarchical structure. The issue we are having is that some departments rely on Windows shortcuts to jump from one location to another in the shared drive.

    The bookmark functionality seems to be able to…

  13. Be able to specify a document or a shared link in “Send Notification” outcome

    It would be convenient if the “Send Notification” outcome had an option to specify a document or a shared link in the notification body.

    Right now it is only possible to input plain text.

    We will not be supporting custom colors for folders. We’re investigating having visual indicators for certain classifications.

  15. Re-add 'Print' option to Shared File / Folder pages

    The legacy Shared File/Folder page had a native 'print' button on it. However, this Print option was removed on the new version of those pages.

    Thank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our roadmap.

  18. 'Email Shared Link' - Allow Searches to Include Spaces

    The 'email shared link' feature (in the Shared Link pop-up) does not allow the user to enter a space when typing in the name/email field, meaning a user cannot type someone's first and last name to narrow down to exactly who they want.

  19. Copy file name and URL and path for shared link

    The "Copy Shared Link" action in Box Drive (or Copy button in the Share pop-up dialog in the Web UI) should copy more than just the URL.
    It should also have the file name and the current Box path so when I paste the link into a chat or email message, it has all the information the recipient will want.

    <path> > '<filename>"
    <box share URL>

  20. Shared Link Unavailable Prompt

    User believes that current 'shared link has been removed or is unavailable to you' page could be confusing to users that have access but are not logged in, and that the messaging should include a prompt to log in if user believes they have reached the page in error.
