  1. Retention policy should be able to remove folders in addition to files.

    Currently the governance retention policy only delete files. We are using the integration with Oracle NetSuite and as such we have a folder that then gets a folder setup for each Case as we are sending and/or receiving data from customers via the Case we have with them. The policy is set to get data for 30 days. The files are getting removed, however, the folders still exist. This makes it challenging when you look from the Box web interface. It would be nice to have the ability to set folders to remove if they are empty.

  2. Outlook: Option for Attaching Actual File (Not the Shared Link)

    Allow user to attach actual file (not the shared link) when using the 'Attach from Box' button within Outlook (via Box for Office).

    Currently when a user uses the 'Attach from Box' button in Outlook, they're only able to add the file's shared link to the email. There are various scenarios where users (still) need to attach the actual file instead.

    This does not align with our product philosophy. Users can attach a shared link with download permissions.

    I would be interested to hear the use case for attaching files directly to the email.

  3. Referral Reward on shared link Sign Ups

    Referral reward/commissions for each company that signs up through our shared links.

  4. Option to enforce Box account login on public shared link

    Provide an option to require a user to login to a Box account in order to access a public shared link. This becomes useful when you want to record a specific access audit trail but do not have a specific person in mind and therefore cannot invite them as a collaborator

  6. Personal folders created by a service account appear yellow instead of blue

    When content creation is restricted and personal folders are created on a users behalf, it would make more sense for the end user to see those folders as yellow instead of blue to indicate that they aren't shared

    This is not on our roadmap. We will prioritize other requests which have a higher impact.

  7. searching by "shared with me"

    It would be nice to sort my files by those files that "shared with me" by other people. Sometimes I don't know the name of the folder, but know who sent me the data. This search ability in the "sort" section above the files, or on the menu to the left of the files would save time searching for things.

  8. Display warning notification (admin controls) for moving large files and folders.

    We have large projects folders containing 5+ GB of data. Would like to have a warning notification similar to that of deleting a file, pop up when someone goes to move a file or folder.

    Ideally this would have customizable parameters controlled by the admin such as warn users only when file contains over 100 mb or even a feature that requires admin approval over a certain amount.

    We recently had one of our very large folders moved accidentally and it caused a huge bandwidth issue as well as displaced the many sub folders that various departments relied on.

  9. A feature that allows the user who sent the message by "Send Shared Link

    Share > Shared Link - Send Shared Link "ON" > Messages (optional)
    A feature that allows the user who sent this to check the messages sent in the past.
    e.g. The message is output to the report.

    Currently, there is no corresponding feature, so we are thinking of adding my own (sender's) email address to the recipient.

  10. The ability to pin folders/files to populate at the top of my filter/view within a folder

    The ability to pin folders/files to populate at the top of my filter/view within a folder.

    Same functionality Instagram lets me do with photos.

  13. Default Column Size for all Folders

    Currently the default column size in Box Drive for the Name column is very small and users have to resize the name column in each folder. Is there a way to apply a default column size for all folders in Box Drive for all users?

  14. Shared Links Report

    It would be nice to have options rather than just export as is. Similar to User Activity, the ability to at a minimum choose a start and end date would be extremely helpful. Currently, our report is not working. Having worked with Box support, they believe it is due to the size of the export. If this is the case, being able to limit the report timeframe, will help with the size. Thank you.

    Allows a prompt to appear for external users to acknowledge confidentiality, currently exists if sharing a folder via direct email invite, but not when you copy a shared link.

  16. Remove or filter out particular Box Notes from Inbox without deleting

    The Box Notes Inbox contains a long list of items that are shared with me but that I may never access again. I can't remove my collaborations because they are stored within enterprise-owned folders that are shared with the entire company at a high level (e.g. all "Projects" are shared with the entire company in case we need to reference them, but I am not part of the project team for most of them). We would like a way to remove or filter certain Box Notes from the Inbox so it is less cluttered.

  17. Better reporting / auditing of folders marked for offline use

    Have better audit trails around the 'marked for offline use' feature. Be able to generate reports such as all the folders marked for offline use for a user and when they were marked for off line use (or 'umarked').

    Thanks for the suggestion! We recently updated the subject line of our primary sharing-related email notifications to make them easier to read and more action-oriented. We hope you enjoy!

  19. Allow chain marks on shared links to be hidden

    We would like to be able to hide the Create Shared Link button on the chainmark so that users do not accidentally create a shared link.
    ユーザーが誤って共有リンクを作成しないように、チェーンマークの共有リンク作成ボタンを非表示にできるようにしてほしい。

  20. Color code folders when selecting a destination folder

    Right now when you select a destination folder as the last step it doesn't color code external folders (grey) so the end user could accidentally send the document in another instance.

    We are moving to the Box file picker, so this should be addressed in that.
