  1. 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.

  2. Only allow users to set shared link expiration up to the Enterprise setting limit

    When setting up a shared link in Box, we want the user to be able to set the expiration up to the Enterprise setting, but not beyond the Enterprise setting.

    A shared link with a shorter expiration time is more secure but less convenient. The security level varies depending on the content, so it would be desirable for users to be able to set an expiration date below the Enterprise setting.

    Managed users set expiration dates beyond their Enterprise settings, allowing content to be accessed for unintended periods of time.

  3. Add Filters to Shared Links Reports

    Add a filter to the shared links report. This is and the other reports that provide no choice but to run against the entire enterprise.

  5. 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.

  6. Update m.box.com address for shared link previews on smartphones

    Please change the specification so that it does not change to the m.box.com address when previewing the shared link from smartphone.

    <Background>
    ・We want to share the preview screen easily to many unspecified users.
    ・But there are some shared links that can't be previewed on smartphone.
    ・The target shared link can be previewed successfully from the PC.
    ・The reason is that when you access the shared link from smartphone, the address is always changed to m.box.com.
    ・You can get around this problem by getting a free Box account (Individual) and installing Box for Mobile.
    ・However, this method requires some preparation…

  8. 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…

  9. '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.

  10. 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.

    Similar to the ability to view favorites and trash on the left-hand side, a view to see current shared links with columns for date shared, date expiring, and who can view it (anyone, company, collaborators)

  12. 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>

  13. Better workflows for organizing content

    A colleague of mine works in an a department we'll call "DepartmentX" in a larger organization. Within other departments in the org they create a "DepartmentX" folder and share that to my colleage's box account.

    My colleague now has several "DepartmentX" folders and cannot at a glance see where they are from.

    In the initial view in Box and even on BoxDrive the "root" is polluted with other people's stuff and it is not possible to organize that into sub folders that are meaningful.

    If a user tries to drag a shared-folder into a folder they created Box attempts…

  14. 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…

  15. Waterfall shared link access

    Currently, if I set the top folder to be available people in the company, there is no option further down to prevent any other shared link from only being this option or below.

  16. 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…

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

  19. Deleting all active shared links in bulk

    I want to delete all the active shared links within our Company but the only way to do this is sending a report to each user for them to do themselves. As admin I would like to be able to do this every for example 3 months. This would help keep information secure by not having lots of shared links that have been forgotten about active,

    Because of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.
