  4. Display Notification for Blocked Uploads to Uploading User

    When creating your own Content Security policies for uploads it would be really helpful to be able to create a notification that would be displayed to an uploading user. The notification would be able to be configured by an admin user to explain the reason for why a file upload was prevented.

    Without these types of notifications we have users who may upload files and then needless work exists to find out which user uploaded a file type we do not accept to then notify the end user that the file type is not acceptable and then have…

  5. Disable the collaboration expiration date set for an external user when the external user is changed to a managed user.

    External users who have been collaborated with an expiration date often become managed users.
    Currently, we need to re-collaborate or add them to a group, so we would like to see the expiration date changed so that the expiration date is invalidated when the user is changed to a managed user.

  6. Set up the Box Drive installer so the user gets to Single Sign On (SSO) by default

    There are quite a few steps when logging in to Box when installing Box Drive. It'd be helpful for us if the users could get to the SSO window directly instead of first having to enter their email address and then click the (not so obvious) ”Sign In with SSO” link.

    It'd also be great if the ”NORDUnet Box Service” could filter away the list of services based on the domain name in the email address the user just typed, especially since typing the name of the institutin and and then ”enter” (which I know one isn't supposed since…

  7. User logged in local value

    Feature Request: A local value that can be read to determine if a user is logged into Box Drive.

    This would be useful for launching custom workflows depending on if the user is logged in or not.

  9. Enhanced Locking User Experience / Show 'Would you like to lock?' Pop-Up After Clicking 'Open'

    When I go to open a file from the webapp, I want Box to help me be a good collaborator, meaning prompt me with "would you like to lock this file while editing?" before the file actually opens (via Box Edit).

    This isn't a request for a different lock/unlock flow with Box Edit -- it's a request for an enhanced experience between when a user clicks the 'open' button in the web app and when Box Edit actually kicks in.

    ISSUE: Box's lock/unlock UX is very 'soft' right now, compared to SharePoint's and a traditional Windows file server. As such,…

    not planned  ·  lwang responded

    Locking file has its own drawbacks about causing files to be inaccessible. We encourage users to use Office Online as a solution to avoid conflicts.

  10. 'Hide Collaborators' allows users to see who updated a file/folder if the updating user is an owner

    On the 'Hide Collaborators' option, the text note says "If enabled, only the folder owner and co-owners will be able to view collaborators and their activity in the folder. This also removes the ability for non-owners to invite collaborators".

    In reality, a user is able to see the name of a user who has last updated a file/folder but only if that user who last updated is the owner. I feel like the above definition isn't clear enough and makes it seem as though only owners/co-owners can see collaborators.

  11. Take action on user based on Threat Detection Shield Rule

    Extending threat detection ALERTS to take action on a user's access would be very valuable. I've heard lots of customers request having a user's account deactivated if they access Box from a suspicious location. Right now, there is not a way to do this through the core Box application, it has to be done through custom scripting or with another tool.

    An automated response action to restrict a managed user was released in 2023 for our Suspicious Location detection rule. As we build out new alert pages for our other detections, actions are being evaluated.

  12. force user logout for password change

    Implement a time-based logout for specific users so they are immediately prompted to change their password.

  13. Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream

    Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

  14. Allow users to share built workflows

    Allow workflow builders to share their workflows with each other. Currently workflows need to be rebuilt by each user whereas it would save a lot of time to be able to share these workflows that have already been built.

  15. Report on who has Box Sync enabled from User Permissions

    Admins can enable Box Sync per individual user under the Permissions in the Users&Groups tab in the Admin Console. I would like a report that can pull which users has Box Sync enabled.

  17. Include all services that triggered actions in User Activity Reports

    For User Activity Reports, include all services that triggered actions, since some actions (Download, Undelete, and Trash) do not always include the service involved in the report.

  18. Box Shield: Suspicious Location Alerts - Add details about content within 'User Activities'

    As part of triage for Box Shield Suspicious Location alerts, it would be beneficial to have details added about the content which shows up in 'User Activities'.

    For example:
    - The User ID/Email of the user who owns the folder/file interacted with
    - The File/Folder ID interacted with
    - Links to the Files, or their listings within Admin Console Content Manager, when hovering over their names.

    Also, being able to export this information would be beneficial.

  20. File request - Allow only Manage Users from an EID to upload via File Request

    In file request, have the ability to state that only a managed user in the EID or an external user that has been invited to the folder can upload, no one else. By doing this, it prevents a file request link from being randomly guessed or found on the internet AND prevents a random user from uploading bad or malware/virus infected content. The current state of requiring the user to login is too generic and doesn't meet the requirement of keeping the file request locked down. Using the collaboration role for upload is not what is needed. The File Request…
