  1. 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 Classification and Metadata information to Folders and Files Report

    When running the folders files report, have it list out the classification tag that is added to each file, along with any metadata information that has been added.

  4. Allow selecting multiple folders in Folders & Files Report, instead of one folder

    When reports are required for tens or hundreds of separate folders, it'd be unrealistic to run reports one by one separately.

  5. Change the default security of a shared link, to "People in this file" or "People in this folder" rather than "Anyone with the link"

    Change the default security of a shared link, to "People in this file" or "People in this folder" rather than "Anyone with the link" (which is the current default).

    Whenever a shared link is created in box, the default access permission assigned to the new Shared Link, is "Anyone with the link" unless Account-level permissions are specifically changed by a knowledgeable user. This is not a secure choice at all. It's too easy to create a large number of Shared Links which, by default, are open to absolutely anyone in the entire world to whom the link gets forwarded to.…

  6. "Select All" or "Select All Folders/Subfolders" when running a report on a specific folder

    When running a report on a "Selected Folder" would be helpful to be able to "Select All" or "Select All Folders/Subfolders" versus having to select each and every file/folder.

  7. 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,

  8. Create automated Relay against multiple folders

    Many times, there is a single automated workflow, e.g. from a file action or folder event, that actually applies across different folders in the structure.

    Today, we can only select one folder for the workflow and therefore have to duplicate the workflow multiple times if we want it to work in different places. Then, if the workflows needs updating, then it has to be done in multiple places, which isn't the best place use of time.

    It would be great if, in the workflow builder, if you can select more than folder for where the workflow should listen for the…

  9. Feature Request: Flexible Expiration Settings for Shared Links

    I would like to submit a feature request for Box Plus.

    Currently, we have set expiration dates for shared links in the management console for links that anyone with the link can access. Users are not allowed to extend or make these shared links permanent.

    However, there is a demand from multiple departments to embed teaching links as QR codes so that on-site materials can be referenced locally, and also to permanently publish documents on Box publicly. Therefore, I would like to request some features that allow partial access.

    For example:

    Set exceptions for expiration dates only for specific folders

  10. 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…

  11. Restricting shared links in Box Shiled's access policy will prevent Box sign from being used.

    Restricting shared links in Box Shiled's access policy will prevent Box sign from being used.
    I want Box sign to be available even if shared links are restricted.

    (detail)
    The Box Sign icon is grayed out and unavailable.
    When hovering your mouse over the Box Sign icon,

    the following message appears:.

    This action is unavailable due to a security policy.

    I have confirmed that this issue occurs when the following 1) or 2) security controls are applied in the Box Shield access policy.


    Security Controls
    Shared Link Restriction
    1)People in your company and invited people
    or
    2)Invited people only

  12. Shared links still show Box's specific branding even after custom branding

    We are a business user of Box. A critical feature for us is file previewing using Shared and Preview links. Even though we have used custom branding in Admin console -> Enterprise Settings, still the shared links show Box's specific branding e.g. Signin, Signup, blue color header bar prompting for signup, etc. This is a problem when we want to share docs to our customers using shared links.

  13. Display more info in "Groups" tab of "Users & Groups" menu and the link to the shared folders the group has access to

    It would be great to have more info in the group tab, like:
    * More columns: display "Permissions settings" and if it's synched from external or created locally on box.com
    * Also on the shared folder when we go to a group, need the lin to the folder, there's only the name and we need to go to different menu to try identify the good folder shared (there can be many with same name, need to find the good one shared to the group, often too difficult)

  14. Shared link prompts

    We would like for box pop-up that indicates this content will be publicly available to anyone with shared link to also have a message where managed users are notified why that is being prompted and that the root folder has an open shared URL link and that is why they are seeing that when they do not have permissions to the parent folder.

  15. Ability to select specific shared links and delete them all together

    Sometimes, users create shared links and then leave them unattended.
    As part of our inventory, we delete unnecessary shared links based on the shared link report.
    However, in order to delete them, we need to access each file from a browser.
    We would like a mechanism to delete multiple specific shared links at once.
    If there are multiple shared links in the same folder, I would like the ability to check them off and delete them all together.

    In Japanese:
    共有リンクをユーザが作成した後、放置されていることがあります。
    棚卸の一環として、共有リンクレポートをもとに不要な共有リンクを削除していますが、
    それらを削除するためにはブラウザから各ファイルにアクセスする必要があります。
    複数の特定の共有リンクを一括で削除できる仕組みが欲しい。
    もし同一フォルダ内に複数の共有リンクがある場合は、チェックを付けてそれらをまとめて削除できる機能が欲しい。

  17. Disable shared link expiration notifications

    This unstoppable auto-notification [for shared link expiration], specifically, is the worst. While we are a fairly small firm, we use Box pretty extensively and we use shared links pretty extensively. All of our shared links automatically expire. As a result, my inbox is continuously inundated with this notification (we’re talking nearly 100, each day). I don’t have the time to look at each and review them. I don’t know if anyone could ever actually have the time to review them and make any kind of meaningful decision or conclusion based on, what is effectively, spam. With no way to stop…

  18. Display password for a shared link

    When you set a password for a shared link, you cannot verify what you've entered.
    It would be great to be able to see the password entered, or at least have a second box to reenter the password (to be sure it's correct).
