  1. Change primary email address but not login user

    We are a large University with affiliate organizations leveraging our Box service. These affiliate organizations do not use the University primary email address domain.
    Specifically for BoxSign, we would like be able to change some users' primary email address to their linked email address WITHOUT changing their email address used for login into Box (because they have to use SSO and 2FA).

    Would you be able to implement a fix or workaround for this scenario? Thank you.

  2. Bring back previous method of highlighting files

    Having to click on the checkbox to the right of files is FAR less intuitive than being able to click anywhere on the body of the file "line." It was much easier and more efficient to be able to just click and shift/ctrl click to highlight multiple files.

  3. Allow bulk download for watermark enabled folder

    Box Web App currently allows bulk download of files or folder. But the same feature is not available when watermark feature is enabled for the folder. This is limiting us from using this as a data room for investment transactions. If you can allow bulk download and add the watermark to all the files at the time of download, that would be fantastic.

  4. I want to be able to check the number of contents including file versions

    The only way to check the number of contents, including the number of versions, is by visual inspection at this time.
    It is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to just visually check the number of versions as the hierarchy increases.
    Therefore, we would like to have the ability to easily check the number of all versions, even when the number of contents is large.
    Example:You can make it the output target of the report, etc.

    バージョン数を含むコンテンツ数を確認する場合、現時点では目視で確認する方法しかありません。
    階層が多くなることでバージョン数を目視で確認するだけでは非常に手間となり時間が掛かります。
    そのため、コンテンツ数が多い場合でもすべてのバージョン数を簡単に確認できる機能が欲しい。
    例:レポートの出力対象にしていただく、など

  6. User Classification

    Our organization uses Box to manage our controlled documentation. To access this information people, need to meet certain criteria to access certain types of documents. Box is great for classifying documents, but we are looking for a way to classify users to make it easy to know if we are able to share a specific document with a specific user. We would like to be able to add a property, tag, or some other identifier to a user's profile that would allow us to classify a user as a specific type. We would then like this classification to become a…

  7. We would like to be able to use the annotation feature in our Excel files as well.

    We would like to use the annotation function available in PDF and Word files for Excel files as well.
    We would like to see this feature supported for realization, as it improves convenience and leads to increased work efficiency.

  8. Limit the amount of data a user can download to prevent data theft by employees.

    Limit accidental or intentional bulk downloads.

    An ex-employee intentionally or accidentally connected his Network Attached Storage device to his Box account, and it downloaded big chunks of our Box data. We want to prevent very large amounts of data (client work and IP) from being downloaded by users, for example, within a logged-in session, within a set timeframe or by the size of the folder (ie. large folders over a specific size containing folders).

    This could be set per user with an enterprise-level default eg. 5GB. If someone tries to bulk download, the admin is altered. Users can request that…

  9. Integrated 360° image viewer

    Integrate a 360-degree viewer into the preview to store, share and display 360° images with the possibility to pan and zoom around. Box is lacking this option right now and when uploading 360 images to Box they become flattened and distorted.

    Here is an example of a 360° image: https://theta360.com/s/k5R3wbxz2ktwvKyBPpgdOFCwW

  10. Instant Clipboard Copying for generated 'Share' links

    I think it would be a good idea to have feature parity with the Google Drive sharing experience which immediately copies your share link to your clipboard when the permissions settings popover appears.

  11. Change "Recents" list functionality

    If a folder is shared with a user, the user sees all files in that folders in his recent list - no matter if the user has accessed the file himself, or the file was accessed by another user where the folder was shared with as well.
    This doesn't make sense from my point of view. Especially in larger teams every day multiple files are generated and which the user never touches.

    Can you please change the functionality of the recent list in a way, that only files appear is the list which have been accessed by the user itself…

  12. Unsubscribe from notification on folder / file level

    Our organisation (ad agency, 200+ staff) works for 70+ customers. The customers are assigend to teams. In Box, every customer has a project folder, and a team is assigned to a folder (with editor rights).
    But not all members of a team work for all clients of a team, and even if the work for the respective customer, they do not participate at all folder/files of a customer. Regards notification this means that all team members are spammed with notifications for clients they don't work for and files or folder they never participated on.

    I would mean a huge admin…

  13. Display warning message on accidental uploads to specific folders

    If a file is accidentally uploaded to a specific folder (viewer privileges granted) using BoxDrive, I would like the upload process to be stopped or a warning message to be displayed. Currently, files are displayed as if they were uploaded to the computer (locally) as a cache.

    BoxDriveを利用して特定のフォルダ(ビューアー権限付与)へファイルを誤ってアップロード した場合にアップロード処理を停止or警告メッセージを表示して欲しい。 現状、パソコン(ローカル)上へファイルがキャッシュとしてアップロードされたように表示されてしまう。

  14. Metadata export with file upon download

    We use box widget on our website for file upload. We have a metadata form/template that gets filled out, however outside of box there is no way we can use that data. We are looking to automate some process's it would be nice if the information that is filled out could be extracted with the uploaded pdf file upon download. Once the pdf has been downloaded the metadata that goes with the file is gone. I'm told that this isn't possible currently with box. Hopefully some consideration on how box can be used in automation process outside of its own…

  15. Collaboration Email Wording

    The current wording of the collaboration email sent to users can cause confusion due to the name of the sender appearing in the "From" address. Recipients are not noticing the sender’s actual email address and assuming when they reply to the invitation, sent to them by [insert friendly name, e.g., Bob Smith], that their reply was received by Bob Smith.

    The originating invitation sender’s name is included in the Subject line and body of the invitation, can the “friendly name” be removed from the From line? Can additional text be added to the From address that includes an all caps…

  16. Folder and file reports are output in a tree format, making it easier to understand the folder hierarchy.

    The new platform version of the Folders and Files report is sorted by creation date by default.
    This does not fulfill the role of a folder tree report.
    If folders are not specified, sorting by all folder/file IDs, etc. into a tree format is impractical and affects business operations

    「フォルダ・ファイルレポートがツリー形式で出力されることによって、フォルダ階層が分かりやすくなる。」

    新プラットフォーム版のフォルダとファイルレポートはデフォルトで作成日順でソートされます。
    これではフォルダツリーレポートの役割を果たしていません。
    フォルダを指定しない場合、すべてのフォルダ・ファイルID等でツリー形式にソートするのは現実的ではなく業務に影響します。

  17. GeoIP Conditional Access

    I'd like to see Box adding GeoIP filtering so that specified countries cannot access.
    This is a standard we do through Office 365 where we don't even allow login attempts for most countries.

    We also have an exceptions list via IP address for safety to allow our office IP(s) to also access in addition to GeoIP filtering.

  18. Allow exceptions for users/groups when setting shared link expiration at org level

    We have auto-expiry and prevent users from modifying the expiration. We want to allow exceptions to either user/group/specific folder so we could have permanent links for storing files for web or other projects.

  19. Separate folder move and copy function

    As far as i understand, the move and copy folder function in Box Web is combined from a role perspective. That means a user must have Co-Owner rights to move a folder but also to copy a folder. I agree that moving a folder means deleting the folder on the source location which may need elevated role. But copying a folder only needs read access on the source folder. So it would be great to separate these two functions and make the copy function available to users who have editor role on the target folder and have at least previewer…

  20. Re-usable recipient groups on Templates

    It would be great to have a Template feature in Box Sign where we can set groups of people as signatories.
    Now we can only upload a document and save it as a template to send out multiple times to different recipients for signature.
    However a lot of industries (e.g. movie/filmmaking) would rather send same type of documents (e.g. petty cash form / contract / purchase order / time sheets / etc.) to the same group of people for signing.
    For that purpose it would be way easier to upload the specific files, click a template and the previously added…
