  1. 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

  2. Direct link creating and reporting for an entire folder. Custom Direct LInks

    Ability to create for an entire folders contents the Direct Links and a report listing those links so they can be uploaded to the app needing the direct links. Currently you have to touch each and every file you want a direct link too. Phase 2 would be allow custom URL for part of the direct links.

  3. More customization of Box for Teams V2 Usage

    We were wondering if we could partially turn on Box for Teams V2. Specifically, we want to turn off the option to create the "Box Files" tab but leave on the options to share Box content directly in groups chats or channel posts. The fact that it's set up as an all-or-nothing feature for now is holding us back from using it at all.

  4. Allow Relay workflow steps to be reordered

    Allow edits to re-order Relay steps after workflow is live.

    For example, if there is a multi-step (5 person) approval needed on a document, and the team/individual who is currently set up to approve a document first now needs to be moved down to 2nd approver, it would be helpful to be able to reorder the steps without having to rebuild the workflow.

    Thanks!

  5. Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movies

    Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movie in Box

    Currently, when users preview movie files( .mov) in Box web app, sevearal issues happens depending on the files

    1. Unable to read the preview screen

    2. The preview stops suddenly in the middle of the movie file and unable to start again.

    According to the support ticket, the risk to happen the above is likely to increase when the movie file is relatively high quality/ high resolution. Actually the issues happen when we preview movie files which is 8 minute-long and 13 GB/file. So temporal workaround is to tune it and make…

  6. Auto select search text upon opening Box Drive

    When I Press Shft+Ctrl+Alt+B to activate the search function, the previous search text is in the search bar. It's highly unlikely I'm going the same search a 2nd time. The text should auto highlight, so I can just start typing for the next search. Currently you have to manually select the text to overwrite.

  7. Push Notifications for @Mentions

    Box push notifications on iOS are very limited currently and only send the user a push notification when...

    1. There's a comment added to a file and they're the most recent uploader
    2. They've been added to a folder

    The most logical other push notification to add would be for @mentions which, in theory, would increase overall adoption of comments as well.

  8. Display email address of sender for files uploaded through email to folder

    When using email to folder in Box, the "user" shows whatever name another company set up for that external email address. An example is service@ringcentral.com - the uploader shows as "Fax in Rehabco 2" which means nothing to us - it is apparently something set up by another Box company. It should display the actual email address instead.

  10. Collaboration List

    Users show up twice in Collaboration list if they invite with the following steps. Steps 1.Folder A -> Folder B 2.User A is collaborated on Folder B. 3.User B then adds User A as a collaborator on Folder A. 4.User A shows up twice in collaboration list. We would like Box to show up once in the scenario because it isn't easy to find properly permission when inviting many collaborator.

  11. SharePoint Online - Direct/Native Integration

    Currently, the only way to 'integrate' Box with SharePoint in a standard way is to manually use an HTML web part in SharePoint to add a Box Embed widget to a SharePoint page.

    This request is for an enhanced (and truly 'native') integration between SharePoint and Box such that:

    1. NATIVE WEB PART/UI: A user can easily 'add Box' to a SharePoint site/page
    2. AUTO-FOLDER CREATION: A Box folder tree can automatically be associated with a SharePoint site/page (instead of a Document Library in SharePoint), similar to the Salesforce integration
    3. PERMISSIONS: Automatic permission mapping such that the auto-created Box folder hierarchy 'inherits'…

  12. Aliases - Better Email Alias Management from Managed Users Page

    Currently, email aliases for users are poorly exposed in the Users page of the Admin Console and we also provide poor alias management functions on the users tab too.

    Key Gaps:
    1. No ability to promote an alias to be primary directly from the Managed Users page (must use instant log in - which not all co-admins have - in order to make this change)
    2. No ability to remove an alias from the Managed Users page

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the performance and user interface to manage users before we add enhancements to manage email aliases.

  13. Automatically accept incoming collaboration settings should reflect line breaks of Message

    Prepare two users
    One is enable Automaticaly accept incoming collaboration settings, one is disabled this setting.
    create folder
    Share the folder and send an invitation to those 2 user
    Please type any Massege(Optional) like this:
        "Please take a look at
        this"
    

    The user who is enabled Automatically accept incoming collaboration settings received the message by email like this.

    "Please take a look at this."

    Therefore line break should be reflected

  14. Delete user without transferring content when using legal hold

    【Background】
    1. When "Legal Hold" is ON but no "Retention Policy" set
    2. When I try to delete a user that is not related to the legal hold above, they need to transfer the content to another user.

    【Request】
    Since it is a user that is not affected by the "Legal Hold", I would like to be able to use that user without transferring the content, which is the behaviour when there is no Governance setting.

  15. Speed displayed in grid view

    I would like to request an improvement so that even if it is displayed in the grid view, it will be previewed in a few seconds.
    It takes time to find the desired image file in the grid view, which is inefficient.
    For example, if you display a folder with a large number of files in the grid view, it will be previewed little by little every few files, and it took about 2 minutes to display 374 files.

  16. Embed - Custom Branding Should Be Respected

    Currently, an EID's custom branding settings (colors, logos, help URLs, etc.) are not respected/funneled through to the Embed UI. Essentially, the Embed UI is a totally separate UI currently and customers would prefer that it's just a smaller (responsive) window into the full webapp, respecting all custom branding, etc.

    Customers would like Embed to...
    1. Respect custom branding coloring
    2. Respect the 'help' link that's set in the custom branding tab of the admin console

  17. Alternative Endpoints for API calls

    In some regions, using the default endpoint box.com doesn't work or works really slowly. Therefore, box offers different endpoints for different regions. For China, this is (Box Alternate Domains redacted for privacy)
    That's great!

    However, those endpoints can only be used within the box web app.
    The only available box API to download a file is https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content/ respectively https://api.box.com/2.0/zip_downloads/ to download multiple files as a zip, which generates a download URL starting with dl.boxcloud.com.
    As a result, the generated download URL delivers very slow downloads or does not work at all in some regions of the world.

    Therefore, I request…

  19. Request for improvements to Box folders for Teams in Box for Teams V2

    When using Box for Teams V2, we found that the auto-created folders for teams were heavy on operations.
    I would appreciate it if you could add the following two functions.
    1.When you delete a member from a team, you want to delete that member's collaboration from the team Box folder.
    2.When the team itself is removed from Teams, remove all member collaborations from the team Box folder.

  20. Increase maximum image size for branding a File Request to above 1 MB

    Upload limit for Box File Request Company Logo Branding is only 1 MB. This is way too small when the average file size of a smartphone mobile phone camera picture is about 3MB, LinkedIn allows 8 MB and Google allows 5 MB.
