We have 15000 users and trying to manage manual updates for Drive is tedious and often painful.

Display name is cut off when specifying a group or user in the user activity report
The display name displayed in the suggestion when performing a search when specifying a group or user in the user activity report is cut off.
Users and groups cannot be specified correctly, such as when similar names are set and they are distinguished by the end of the name.
We want you to improve so that you can check all users and group names in the suggestion display when searching(In Japanese)

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…

block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access
The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

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

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.

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.2 votes -
'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.

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.

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.
10 votesAn 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.

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.

Box new user interface option that mimics the Admin Console Content Manager user experience

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.

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.

Notify user immediately when a file is updated or uploaded.
We would like the functions or API commands to notify user immediately when a file on the Box is updated or uploaded.
We would like to be able to trigger the next process on file updates, so we would like the ability to be notified each time an update is made, rather than a periodic notification.4 votes -

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.
