More option for IP whitelisting
Currently, there are 2 options for IP whitelisting which are "webapp only" and "all endpoints". Is it possible to switch "API" as new option? I think "webapp only", "webapp+API", and "all endpoints" are enough options.
There are many enterprises using cloud-based IDP like Azure AD, Okta and Centrify which can implement Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning using Box API. When "all endpoints" is set, IdP's Auto Provisioning/De-Provisioning fails because they use Box API. Some enterprises are choosing "all endpoint" in Japan for their security reason, so I would appreciate if you could consider this request seriously.

Webhook V2 trigger filter
It will be awesome if we can get some filtering option so that we can reduce calls to target API.
In my use case, I need to process only images of specific file extension when uploaded and so it will be helpful to filter out other file extensions.1 vote -
When reverting to the previous version on box, V3 → V2 = V4. I would like to keep the version name as V2 instead of V4. Is it possible?

Currently. Download notification. Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on demand, and does not trigger this notification.

Auto sync of Email folders and attachments from Outlook in Box.
It would be nice to have two sync options to store data. 1) the current desktop system is fine and works well but ideally 2) you could have a synch to mirror Outlook email folders and attachments . In both cases the user should be allowed to select which folders would be sync'd. PLEASE HELP. !!! Our company is now moving emails over 6 months old into archive and anything over 1 year old is being deleted . Only way to save now is via box but that only helps for recreating folders on desktop and linking to box. Would…

409
On a 409 Name Conflict exception, the response does not contain the ID of the group in conflict, requiring the use of another API call to get the ID of the group with that name. Typically we recommend trying to find the group first, if the group is likely to have been created, but in the instance it is not, then 2 calls are, once again, necessary.
We have also seen instances where the group name search is not returning a valid result, and the logic can never find, nor create the group, causing a critical failure in the logic.

Invite Collaborators Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Automatically Remove Collaborator on X Date' Field
Right now, auto-expiration for collaborators is only provided as an option from within the Admin Console.
REQUEST: Add a 'automatically remove this/these collaborator(s) on X date' checkbox to the Invite Collabs Pop-Up, with the default being to have it unchecked, of course.
We have API endpoints already to add an expiration to an individual collaboration (https://docs.box.com/v2.0/reference#edit-a-collaboration), meaning admins can do this on our own via API. We would like the same type of option/functionality natively in the webapp UI as well.
3 votesThank you for the detailed explanation! This is not planned for the short-term roadmap. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

Add a Folder Viewer role
Along with the current 7 access levels, adding the “folder viewer”level which the user can see ancestral folders(with no access to those folders).
If a collaborator is invited from 2 different sub-folders with the same name, the folder name on the invitee’s first level shows the same. This can confuse users and might cause uploading/editing contents at the wrong destination.
Once this access level is deployed, the collaborator can clarify the root folder without having to confirm its contents.
Viewing folder paths can be done with canviewpath in the API but we want this to be possible in…

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.1 vote -
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.

Add toggling of comment and annotation creation
Users want the ability to highlight text and copy-to-clipboard while in Preview mode.
Currently, clicking and dragging results in entering comment-generation mode.
The only workarounds:
1. Enter editing mode (but this may not be possible with all roles, and may risk making unintended changes)
2. View the document full-screen (this is not intuitive).Solution: add a one-click toggle, perhaps on the comment/annotation floating panel, that enables click-and-drag commenting OR disables it so highlight-and-copy can be used.
This also could be implemented in such a way as to fulfill the following request

Classification definition
Currently when classifying a document it is only possible to see the top 2-3 lines and is not rich text therefore doesn't support returns, bold type, links, bulleted lists or colour.
While the full 300 characters are displayed in the details pane, Users need to see all the details prior to applying the classification.REQUEST: To make the dropdown either expandable (i.e. 'show more') or to show the full 300 character classification definition and to make the definition field 'Rich Text' so its possible to give more context to the classification e.g. provide a list of example documents or link…

Enhanced Hide Function for Drive Folders/Files
Starting with Box Drive v2.48, it has become possible to hide folders and files. This is a very welcome feature.
However, when the “Show hidden files” setting is enabled in File Explorer, even if you use the folder hide function in Box Drive, the target folder is only grayed out on the screen and not completely hidden.
Users would be pleased if a more complete hide function were implemented.
エクスプローラーで「隠しファイル」の表示設定を行っているとき、Box Driveでフォルダ非表示機能を利用しても、画面上で対象のフォルダがグレーアウトするだけで完全には隠れないため、より完全な非表示機能が実装してほしい。

NetSuite - More information on 'Box Record Folder' custom record
In the NetSuite-Box integration (v2) there is a custom record type (Box Record Folder). A record is created for each folder created in Box for each NetSuite record. This record currently contains the following information: NetSuite Record ID, Box Record Folder ID, and NetSuite Record Type. I would like to see more information on this record that would allow useful searches of Box information (via this custom record) without having to create additional Box integrations or scripting inside NetSuite. Specifically, I'd like to see:

install and syncronize box in a chosen folder
I am windows user. I wanted to install box and syncronize my box files in my local D: drive, because my C: drive is full. Surprisingly, the installation process of Box app does not provide such an option (of selecting which drive to install Box to). It by default is installed on C: drive . This is very insane. Windows Users can choose to install which drive to install any app.
My C: drive is full, and I want to syncronise everything both in cloud and in local computer, but i cannot do so because C: drive is full, and…

Share this link. Box.com's aggressive marketing misleads our customers.
Hello Box!
Unfortunately, we cannot fully use your product due to your company's aggressive marketing, which misleads external users.
The problem lies in the implementation of sharing public links to files or folders with external users:
- When an external user opens the link, they see a pop-up message from Box in a green field (as shown in screenshot 1): "Log in to Box to save all files you view in your Recents and return to them at any".
If our client does not click the small white cross on the right to close this message, they are redirected to the…

Box for Teams Content Card Support for Group Invites
We have confirmed that when collaborating as a group rather than as a direct collaborator, the content card behaves differently than described in the article.

Therefore, to avoid confusion for users, we would like you to take the following action.【Requests】：
1.The article should clearly state that the operation of content cards for group invitations is not currently supported.
2.In the future, we would like to see content cards for group invitations also be supported.【Target article】：

BoxDrive-like UI for web apps
I want you to change the UI of the web application like Windows Explorer or BoxDrive.
Specifically, I would like the content list screen to be split into two, with the folder list displayed on the left and the contents of the folder displayed on the right.
If you use this UI, you won't have to switch screens every time you want to display another folder, so I think it will improve work efficiency.<WebアプリのBoxDriveのようなUI>
WebアプリのUIをWindowsエクスプローラやBoxDriveのように変更してほしい。
具体的には、コンテンツ一覧画面を２分割して、左側にフォルダ一覧、右側にフォルダ内コンテンツが表示されるようにしてほしい。
このUIにすれば、別のフォルダ内を表示するときにいちいち画面遷移しなくて済むので業務効率があがると思います。3 votes -
Push the recommended Hub
In Box Hubs, we would like to have the ability to push high priority Hubs from the admin side.
Currently, users have to click on the "Box Hubs" tab from the left side of the screen to get to each Hub.
The name "Box Hubs" is not intuitive to the average user, so they almost never access it.
This is the same as the "feeds" that were discontinued in beta.On the other hand, we would like to have the ability to push Hub recommendations to all managed users or specified gruop.

Make the Web App WCAG2 Level AA Compliant (eliminate need for a.box separate site)
The current Box Web is not WCAG 2.0 Level AAA compliant currently, meaning users who require accessibility support need to use a.box. This is a subpar solution given that a.box is based on m.box which is missing large amounts of functionality that the full Web App provides.
