We would like to be able to register a group in the BoxSign configuration even if the group's permission setting is not "Administrators only
Currently, when we try to register a group in the Sign configuration, we can register the group if the group's permission setting is "Administrators only", but not if the group's permission setting is "Company" or "Group Members".
Registration location [Enterprise Settings > BoxSign > Edit Configuration > Sign Configuration].
We are using "Company" and "Group Member" as the permission setting for groups to be able to respond to group invitations, etc. outside of the management console, so we would like these permission settings to be able to be registered in the Sign configuration.<グループの権限設定が「管理者のみ」以外の場合もBoxSignの構成でグループを登録できるようにしてほしい>
現在Signの構成でグループを登録しようとするとグループの権限設定が「管理者のみ」の場合は登録できるが、
「会社」や「グループメンバー」の場合は登録できない。【Enterprise設定＞BoxSign＞構成の編集＞Signの構成】
グループの招待など管理コンソール以外でも対応できるようグループの権限設定を「会社」や「グループメンバー」として利用しているため、
これらの権限設定でもSignの構成で登録できるようにしてほしい10 votes -

View right holder to download the watermarked files from box drive.
that way, people with view right do not need to go box.com website and download each file.
+ it will be great if they could download including folder trees with watermarked files(Pdf, ppt, excel etc).
Take this as consideration

Box Sign import tool request for migrating content over from DocuSign I.E. metadata, saved PDF's etc.
Implement a way for an import tool they can use to bring executable PDF's from their users on DocuSign to make it easier for maintaing some of these PDF's and metadata, or will he need to login to each user on DocuSign, download their user executed PDF’s and re-upload them to Box?

Please improve the tasks upper limit 20,000.
The following page says "Maximum number of Tasks per user: 20,000" and we know that if the number exceeds 20,000 tasks will no longer appear in the Tasks Inbox as an example.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695954-Adding-Comments-and-TasksPlease remove the upper limit or change it so that users can continue to use the Task after 20,000 without loss of convenience.

Ability to create Powerpoint presentation directly from a template
Our company has a template that we should use to create PowerPoint presentations. But there is no way to directly create a powerpoint from a template in Box. The templates can either be saved on OneDrive (which beats the purpose of using Box) or on desktop app (which doesn't sync with Box). Currently I have a few workarounds like copy/edit an existing file or create one on desktop and then save the file on Box. In the second option, you have to click on each folder to find the destination folder (which can be many layers deep). However, if I can easily search the destination folder, that would also make it easier to save files created on the desktop app.

Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk
I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.
I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.
Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.
Having this functionality is critical to be able to practically review user activity against folders/files in Box.
Folders often contain hundreds or thousands of files, this limitation means the only way to get this data is to review each file one at a time - an impossible task. In other words, it is currently impossible to review user activity against a set of files or folders in a meaningful way.

Add group members to new group by combining existing groups
I created a new group that will have all the people in 2 existing groups as members. This will be over 70 users in total. Currently I have to enter every single user, but I would like to simply add all members of group A and all members of group B to create the membership of the new group.

Relay: Involve external Users to a manual workflow as "not-owner" of the folder/file
Hi,
i discribe a situation:
The Admin is the owner of all folders/files, directors has co-owner-rights and all employees are editors. It is similarly discribed in "Folder Structure Best Practices" under "Business Unit Drive"
Now we invite some external users... not only the owner can invite them.
Then we create some relays for specific folder, especially some manual ones, assign a task and set the Assignee to "Specify at startup"...not only the owner can do this.
Last but not least we start the manual workflow and choose as Assignee an external user... but wait...ONLY the owner of the folder (1 person, here the admin) can do this.This can't be expected behavior.
We have over 1500 external users... this is not practical.
If we have a folder with invited external users, at least all internal users who start the manual workflow should be able to include these external users.
Previously recommended workaround:
If you are an non-owner of a file/folder and want to add an external user to a manual workflow, create a separate parent folder and invite the external user.
Now you can also include these external user in manual workflows.So to be on the safe side, 1000 internal users are now inviting 1000 external users to one of their folders so that the manual workflows can be used. The external partners will understand, there are only 1000 new folders in their box homepage.
Luckily our admin is not the owner of ALL folders, but the annoyance is big enough.
In my opinion, giving co-owners these rights as well would be the bare minimum.
Because so our employees have sick/holiday cover, but not in Box.Regards,
Michael

Accuracy of recognizing flicks and swipes in mobile previews
For example, when previewing an Excel sheet with large rows and columns, the Box mobile app preview may mistake the user's swipe for a flick and terminate the preview.
We feel this happens more frequently than in the native Office mobile app.
Please improve it to detect the difference between a swipe and a flick a little more accurately.2 votes -
2MFA Exempt
Allow co-admins to "exempt" users from 2FA - having it solely with primary owner is not practical

Allow co-admin to manage 2FA
Allow co-admins to "exempt" users from 2FA. Once 2FA is required by the company, only the primary admin can let users who delete their Authentication app, back into Box.

box sync ignore files
Are you kindly considering adding a feature to skip / ignore certain paths (directories, files) stored on local machine from syncing? Some examples of situations where inability to exclude files from backup causes undesired issues: 1) There are programs which store temporary files among synced folders. These temporary files frequently change and are deleted on program exit, which results into frequent unnecessary synchronization and deletion of files in cloud, therefore waste of computing resources and bandwidth. 2) Specific program creates empty file "running" to indicate it's in running state. Box Sync does not sync empty file but warns user each time such program starts that it's unable to sync "running" file. In some cases I am getting multiple notification each hour. 3) Some games tend to store their data into "My Documents" folder. Those data do not need to be uploaded to cloud or to be accessible from other devices. Also, when the game is running, their frequent updates results into waste of computing power and bandwith again. 4) Some large files unable to be synced could be skipped, resulting into quicker sync time. Users should be able to choose what to sync and what not, and the possibility to exclude files or folders from syncing would greatly improve Box Sync experience!

Hide Apps Link from Blue Left Menu
Our organization is using Box to store controlled information so to best control the sharing of our documents we are only enabling a very limited number of 3rd party app integrations. We have disabled most of the apps via Enterprise settings. However users still can see the Apps menu and we are receiving a lot of negative feedback related to integrations available that as an Enterprise we will not enable. Is it possible to hide the "Apps" in the Blue left menu for non-admin users via group or other action?

Easier access to Box.com versus local box folder from the box menu
I use a mac. To go to a folder, I can click the box icon on my menu bar and there is the folder icon. But, to go to box notes (very popular with my team) or box.com, I must click down into the box settings. Please bring box.com up to the level of the box folder in your menu.

Hide "editable" so it's not accidentally selected
A feature that allows editing from a shared link has been released.
At the time of release, the settings are released as "View and Download and Editable" according to the Box Note settings.
After the release, the setting was changed to "View and Download Available" in the tenant settings.
Editable" is now displayed when attempting to configure shared links in a tenant environment after settings have been made.We would like it to take over the settings when they are not editable and hide the "editable" setting so that it is not accidentally selected.

共有リンクから編集する事ができる機能がリリースされています。
リリース時点での設定はBox Noteの設定に準じて「表示とダウンロードおよび編集可能」の状態でリリースされています。
リリース後にテナント設定で「表示およびダウンロード可能」に設定変更を行いました。
設定を行った後、テナント環境で共有リンクの設定を行おうとした際に「編集可能」が表示されるようになりました。
現状は表示されていても「編集可能」を選択する事は出来ず、エラーが表示されます。編集可能ではない設定をした際には設定に乗っ取り、「編集可能」を誤って選択しないよう非表示にしてほしいです。
