Pause upload/download on Box Drive
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. I cannot describe how much this is important to me. I work on several projects that use many files simultaneously. Some of these files are large. Being unable to pause an upload/sync makes my workflow so incredibly slower.
Current life: I make some edit to a large file, my entire workflow is interrupted as said large file needs to be entirely uploaded before I can retrieve literally anything else from Box. This last part is not even Box's problem, but I have a pretty decent computer and slows down significantly during large uploads, which affects the rest of my work too. Even writing this request was a little slow.
Now, IMAGINE this wonderful little scenario: I click on the Box icon. I hit pause sync or whatever you may want to call it. I do whatever edit I want. Then, at the end of the workday, I hit resume sync.
Now IMAGINE this even better scenario for someone like me: oops, I forgot to hit the pause button before I started working. NO PROBLEM! I can pause/cancel this particular upload as it is happening.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Thank you Box team!

Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages.
Box Extract needs to be limited to run against x number of pages, not all pages. Customers often want to just use box extract to load documents and skip the indexing. These documents can be large, 100 pages, 500 pages, etc, but the indexing information may be only on the first 3 pages that is required. This request is to incorporate a way to limit how many pages box extract runs against per folder, or per metadata set, per Extract Agent. The key is when I upload a 1000 page document, I don't want that to eat up 1000 AI units, or 3000 AI units depending, when I need it to use less than 3-9 ai units.

Log in as “AutomationUser” from the new UI Content Manager
Content: Currently, it is possible to log in as a proxy via the Content Manager of the old UI, but it is not possible to log in as a proxy on the new UI.
If the user is a managed user, you can log in as a proxy from the "Users and Groups" screen, but since AutomationUser is not displayed on the "Users and Groups" screen, you will need to log in as a proxy from Content Manager.
Since not being able to log in as an AutomationUser has a large impact on our business, we would like this functionality to be improved.(日本語)

管理対象ユーザーであれば、「ユーザーとグループ」画面から代理ログイン可能ですが、AutomationUserは「ユーザーとグループ」画面には表示されない仕様の為、コンテンツマネージャより代理ログインを行う必要があります。

We want to make it easier to change the owner of a workflow in Box Relay.
In Japan, organizational changes and personnel transfers occur frequently, which necessitates changing the owner of workflows in Box Relay.
Currently, to change the owner, users have to transfer the workflow to another user and disable the original workflow.This process is not intuitive and is cumbersome for users. Additionally, there are too many steps involved. As a result, even though Relay is a good feature, it feels difficult to use and does not gain user adoption.
We would like to see improvements that allow for a one-click transfer of ownership.
For example, adding an option to change the owner in the same menu as "Transfer to User" for each workflow, where users can simply input the name of the new owner to make the change.(In Japanese)
〈Box Relayでワークフローの所有者変更をもっと簡単にしたい〉日本では組織変更や人事異動が頻繁に発生するため、それに伴いBox Relayのワークフローの所有者の変更が求められます。
現状、所有者を変更する時は、ワークフローを他のユーザーに転送し元のワークフローは無効化することで実現していますが、これはユーザーにとって直観性がなく使いにくいです。また、実施手順も多すぎます。
そのため、Relay自体が良い機能なのに使いづらく感じてしまい、ユーザーに定着しません。
簡単にワンクリックで所有者を移管できるように機能改善をしてほしいです。

Suggested Prompts with Custom Agent in the Box App for iOS and Android
Currently the AI feature of the Box App for iOS and Android does not include customized suggested prompts with custom agents. I would like to have suggested prompts available on custom agents in the Box App. We've created several custom agents with unique suggested prompts. Without access to these prompts in the Box App, it limits its usefulness to us, or at least requires more effort from the end-user to retrieve what they need.

Notify Owners and Co-Owner on colaborators expiry
It seems that today only the colaborators are infomed prior to colaborator expiry. From my poinbt of view it would be important, that both Owners and Co-Owners receive the expiry information too. I our setup Box system users own all level 0 shared folders, so Co-Owners would be required to receive the notifications as well.

We want the Box administrator to be able to confirm when an IP address is blocked from communicating.
Box has a function to increase security by restricting the IP addresses accessing the system. When using this function, it is necessary to register the addresses to be used in the permission list when there is a system that wants to cooperate with Box.
However, there are cases where it is not possible to confirm the IP addresses used with each system vendor.
Therefore, currently, we block communication once and ask Box to confirm the information by contacting the company.
This operation requires support from Box and is inconvenient for us because it takes time to add the IP address to the allowed list.
We would like to see the IP addresses blocked by the IP address restriction function displayed in the activity report.
(In Japanese)
〈IPアドレスの通信をブロックされた時、Box管理者が確認できるようにしてほしい〉BoxではアクセスするIPアドレスに制限をかけて、セキュリティを高める機能があります。この機能を利用している場合、Boxと連携したいシステムがあると利用するアドレスを許可リストに登録する必要があります。
しかし、各システムベンダーに使用しているIPアドレスを確認しても分からない場合があります。
そのため、現状は一度通信をブロックさせて、Box社に問い合わせして確認してもらっています。
この運用では、Box社はサポート対応が必要ですし、我々としても許可リストに追加するまでに時間がかかり不便です。IPアドレス制限機能でブロックされたIPアドレスをアクティビティレポートに表示して欲しいです。

Taxonomy Lists in Box Forms
We create many Box Forms with the same dropdown lists. In our case one is the list of the properties we own/manage.
Having the ability to duplicate forms would be very helpful, but for us it would be even more helpful to create a Taxonomy list for forms so that it would be easy to add the dropdown to a form. It would also allow the dropdowns to be consistent, accurate and easy to change on all forms at once.
Thank you.

Change the Box Tools implementation to Native Messaging Hosts
Due to changes in Chromium’s security policy, communication with localhost is no longer trusted.
At present, the only secure way to enable communication between the web and a local environment is through Native Messaging Hosts.Using Native Messaging Hosts also eliminates the need for a constantly running background process, which helps reduce potential issues and improves stability.
For example, Dropbox adopted this approach several years ago.We strongly recommend that Box also migrate Box Tools to Native Messaging Hosts.

When viewed in Safari on an iPhone, the menu overlaps with the file name.
When viewed in Safari on an iPhone in portrait mode, the menu overlaps with the file name. In landscape mode, it is displayed correctly.
I’m sorry if this has already been mentioned. I can’t read English well, and this text is translated, so the wording may not be accurate.1 vote -

Box falsely claims a file is being edited
I need to rename a file. Box doesn't allow me to. Instead, it falsely claims the file is being edited. I have no open tabs anywhere where I am editing that file. Also, I know with certainty no one else is editing it right now.
The "idea" I have is: Box should behave and let me rename files. Gosh, some other vendors allow you to rename files while you're editing them. Unheard-of, I know. But a feature. Elsewhere.

Request for Dynamic Session Timeout Control Based on SAML SessionNotOnOrAfter
We would like Box to reference the SessionNotOnOrAfter value in the SAML response and allow the session timeout to be set shorter than the tenant’s default value (and, if possible, longer as well).
Our intention is to have the IdP determine the security level based on factors such as device type and user type, and then shorten the session only when the risk is high, while allowing longer sessions when the risk is low, thereby enabling risk-based session management.
【In Japanese】

SAMLレスポンス内の SessionNotOnOrAfter を参照し、Boxのセッションタイムアウトをテナントデフォルト値より短く（可能であれば長くも）設定できるようにしていただきたいです。

Report on Auto‑Confirmation Issue During Japanese Input When Using Bulleted Lists (BoxCanvas)
I am using BoxCanvas and would like to report an issue related to text input.
After starting a bulleted or numbered list, if I type double‑byte characters and the IME enters the pre‑conversion state, the text is automatically confirmed and I cannot input it correctly（At that time, I was using Japanese input）. This behavior has already been resolved in BoxNotes.The pace of improvements to BoxCanvas, BoxNotes, and other features has been remarkable. I appreciate the Box team’s continuous efforts and look forward to future enhancements.
