  1. 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.

  2. Provide functionality to extend the 30 day time limit on user acceptance when enabling External User TOS

    Currently, the documentation states that when enabling external user TOS, if the user does not accept the TOS within 30 days then they have all access to collaborated content revoked. This is problematic as we have external users that need occasional access but may not heed the warning to accept the TOS. I would like a mechanism to manage this time frame, either extending to 90 days or reset the time for users/groups.

    Link to documentation: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044192733-Using-Custom-Terms-Of-Service

    If any external collaborators do not accept the ToS within 30 days, they will be removed as a collaborator from the…

  3. Set values for "external_app_user_id" of Managed Users

    We are developing a tool to extract user data from AD, Azure and other IDMs and provision them to Box via API.
    We want to use the user IDs on the IDM as a user external key for Box so that we can track the associated Box account when the email address changes on the IDM side.
    However, the current attribute "externalappuser_id" of Box users has the following limitations

    Only the App User can be set as the value.

    Only some privileged users, such as service accounts for JWT-authenticated applications, can access this item.

    For…

  4. Box passwords user experience

    Two issues I'd like to highlight that is significantly making the Box user experience for my users (and me) extremely frustrating.

    1) Box Drive sign in experience
    When my users try to sign into Box Drive and input incorrect passwords multiple times and keep trying, they get a captcha response requirement to continue trying. It's simply broken. It requires images to be selected but this process always gets stuck in an endless loop. I can confirm this from dealing with this on multiple systems running Box Drive and 100% of the time it got stuck in a loop.…

  5. User activity report - for file move/ copy event, display full path to show where the files are originated from

    For file move/ copy activity on User Activity report. "Detail" tab would show the name of the parent folder on where the file is from. "Parent Folder" tab would show the full path of destination.

    If parent folder could also display in full path, intuitively it is easier for the admin to understand where the files are moved from and to.

  6. Add "role" field to user Sign profile for Box Sign GxP

    Role is an important component of a signing event in a GxP context. We would like to see a "role" item that is associated with each user that is added to the signature block when a document is signed and is then surfaced in the signing log.

  7. Edit Locked files when Co-Authoring is turned on by the user trying to edit

    Our workflow uses both coauthoring and often requires locking files to prevent others from editing while in use. The new coauthoring with Office locks out the user that is trying to edit the file. It would be nice to be able to use both when needed. Now, if a user tries to lock a file to prevent access to it while editing, that same user that locked the file is prevented from editing it. Or maybe add an additional option to edit and lock.

  8. Folder Integrations not available on All Files unless user is owner

    We have an App Integration for Folders; Quick Scan. If a user has access to upload to a folder they can use Quick Scan from the Folder's More Actions, Integrations menu to scan a document directly into the folder.

    It appears, if a user is the Owner of the folder, the Integration to Quick Scan appears when accessing the Folder's More Options from the All Files area. But, if the user is not the Owner, no Folder Integrations appear. The Folder Integrations always appear if the folder More Options is accessed from a sub-folder, i.e. not the All Files area.

  9. Use Box Group as a Signer of Box Sign and only one user from it needs to sign

    I would like to use Box Group as a signer of Box Sign.
    In addition, I only need one user from that group to sign it.

    The use case we have is when someone from a specific department needs to approve the document but it can be approved by anyone from that department.
    This is something we can do with Task now and I would like to do it with Sign too.

  10. Add second Box user name filed

    There is First and Last name filed available now when Admin create Box user. When customer integrated with SSO in Japanese, active directory name will be used. However, some Box user will communicate with oversea members, they like to use English name, not Japanese name which synced with Active Directory. So, please add additional filed for user name.

  11. Out of Office Setting for a user profile

    People go on holiday, and people have specific notification settings set for themselves.
    So it would be a nice feature if a user could have a setting in their profile that redirected their notifications to another BOX user or group for a period that they set in their profile. Also remind them when they login that they have the setting turned on as to not redirect for longer than required.

  12. File request custom theme transparent logo suggestion tooltip

    When putting themes for file request, using logos with existing color backgrounds does not look as clean. It would be great to add a tooltip suggestion to use a transparent logo for the user designing the theme.

  13. Add User Activity Reporting for Folder Settings Changes

    Right now, there is no way to tell who is enabling or disabling notification settings by accident (rather than managing their own user level notifications).

  14. Share Box Sign templates

    Ability to share Box Sign Templates. This is not an existing feature. If a user has created a Sign Template, and that person (Owner) is unavailable, we need other team members to have the ability to modify the Sign Template.

    This is not the same as copying the Sign Template to a folder and then sharing the folder. This simply allows others to "use" the template but they can't modify the template. Thank you.

    As template creator/owner you can share a single file template with other users:

    1. In Template tab on Sign Dashboard

    2. Go to the template and click "..." > Manage Collaborators

    3. Click "Share"

    4. Invite people and select to invite as Editor (can edit the template) or Viewer (cannot edit the template).


    Depending on the granted permissions (Editor or Viewer), other users will be able to edit or only view and use templates.


  15. Is there a user acitivity report to show the duration of a user the amount of time spent accessing a file?

    To include in access statistic summary of how long the file was opened by a certain user.

  16. combine more external and managed user reports

    We need a way to combine managed user and external user reports into one to get the same information (where applicable) for each user type. It is ridiculous that we have to create multiple reports and then combine them to create composite reports for our whole enterprise.

  17. Display folder path when Admin select folders to run User Activity reports.

    There are many same folder names. When Admin like to select specific a folder to run the report, he or she can not select right folder due to having the same folder name. If there is folder path, Admin is able to select right folder to run the report.

  19. Make inactive users their own category vs. remaining as licensed users

    Inactive users shouldn't be regarded as licensed users; we need to maintain user history so we never delete users.

  20. Feature request to increase (or remove) the Box Graph Connector user limit

    I would like to see the Box Graph Connector user limit increased to 50,000.
    Or I would like to see the cap on the number of users removed.
    The user limit has been raised, but it's not enough for us.
    Please increase the limit on the number of users to 50,000 or remove the limit.

    There have been similar requests in the past.
