  2. 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。

  3. 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.

  6. Add a report that lists metadata set for folders and files.

    There are many metadata templates, and each users can set them.
    In this situation, being able to see in lists what metadatas are actually applied to which files/folders and what values ​​are set can be very helpful in managing contents and metadata.

  7. Allow me to link to other folders and files in box

    I can create a bookmark to another folder in box, but the experience and visualisation of these is not useful - links to folders get lost in the file list.

    Bookmarks to other folders in box, should be listed as a folder, not a file, perhaps with a different icon to show they are linked folders rather than hierarchic folders.

  8. I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.

    I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.
    Alternatives (1) through (3) could not be adopted for a reason.

    (1) Why not just use the Previewer?
    I want to collaborate from the top of the folder tree to prevent confusion about where I collaborated.
    For this purpose, I want a collaboration role that can only refer to shared links that cannot refer to other files.

    (2) Why don't we just create a shared link that is open to everyone and add a password?
    If you make it public, you won't know who…

  9. Add ability to remove shared content from the All Files page

    One of the complaints we've heard from our users is the inability to move shared content to a location other than their All Files page. For users with a lot of shared content this creates folder sprawl. With the new Collections feature we had hoped this would be possible as Collections can be accessed via the left pane.

  10. Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved

    We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.

    【Details】
    Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
    For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
    In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned…

    Unfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

  11. Password Protect Folders Designated as "Invited People Only" Collaborators

    I would like to add passwords to folders that are tagged as "Invited People Only" to increase the level of security on the content. I would like to create a folder that is shared only with invited people, and also add a password for the folder to ensure content is as secure as possible, e.g., pre-lease earnings reports, HR terminations, pending litigation, etc.

  12. 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

  13. Ability to access public links/folders that aren't shared with a specific account via the Box desktop application

    Sometimes a client sends a public link for a folder that is +100 GB. Downloading through the browser is obviously much slower than using the desktop application, but if the folder has not been shared directly with my account, I cannot access the folder via the app. Please implement a way of accessing public links via the Desktop application.

  14. Editable shared link to take precendence over collaborator permission

    Collaborator permissions currently take precedence over shared link permissions. As a result, users accessing an editable shared links can't edit a file if they have viewer permission on the folder. In our case, we have an open folder accessible to all staff as viewer with all content accessible from our intranet. We would like to be able to create editable shared link for users to contribute to selected files.

  15. Remove greyed out options for editable shared links

    Remove greyed out options for editable shared links if the edit option has been removed from the enterprise settings. It causes end user confusion and would rather have it not be visible if the admin/IT/Security teams choose to not elect to have this available within enterprise settings.

  16. 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…

  17. Have the ability to retroactively expire shared links.

    If I understand correctly, the only way we can go back and fix this for existing folders is to create an application that does this through the API or send a request to end users to fix folders they own. Is that correct?

    It might be helpful to include a functionality in the future that allows an Admin to reset that setting for existing folders in the environment.

  19. Password Protect Folders and Files

    I'd love the option to Password-protect folders and files as this is something that Dropbox currently does.

    When you password-protect files through Dropbox, you guarantee that only the people you want to access your files can get to them.

    Before anyone can view or download a document, they need to enter the password you set to protect the document.

  20. Shared link setting for each Account from Admin Console

    We can set external collaborator setting for each users from Admin Console but we cannot set Shared Link setting for each users from Admin Console.
    If the tenant uses Open Folder Taxonomy, all users can control shared link setting.
    Especially 「People with the link」 is concerned by some Open Folder Taxonomy tenants.
    Could you add Shared link setting for each Account from Admin Console?
