  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Input file/folder ID instead of folder name in Files and Folders report

    Quite often folders with same name appear when the folder name is entered for filtering the folder to create the report, resulting in the report being incorrect although after long time waiting for the report to be ready.
    By allowing to filter by file/folder ID instead of folder name, such mistake can be avoided and the the filtering can be made more accurate.

  4. Email Notifications: Customize Subject Line (Shared Link & Collaboration Invitation Emails)

    "Users find the "Item shared with you" and "invited to a folder" subject lines too generic and can be ignored".

    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!

  5. Ability to discern between your notes and notes shared with you on left menu.

    This would make finding your own notes easier and also help you easily know if a note was created by you or someone else. This would be a variation of the different colors of Box folders.

  6. Apply classification labels with move/copy operations to folders as well.

    ■Apply classification labels with move/copy operations to folders as well.

    The current classification label assignment is checked against the events for the files in the Box.

    When there are multiple files that need to be moved/copied, it is time-consuming to specify each file individually, and the folders to move/copy to become cumbersome.
    Therefore, we would like to apply the current behavior to folders as well.

    ■移動/コピー操作を伴う分類ラベルの付与をフォルダにも適用する

    現在の分類ラベルの付与は、 Box 内のファイルに対するイベントに対してチェックがなされます。

    移動/コピー操作が必要なファイルが複数存在する場合、個別に指定して操作する手間が生じたり、
    移動/コピー先のフォルダが煩雑になってしまい業務効率の低下が生じます。
    そのため、現在の動作をフォルダにも適用することを希望します。

  7. Ability to export list of sub-folders when users select a parent folder.

    Customer collaborate with external venders to share files and folders. In order to manage which folders and files received from external venders, the customer has to keep track records by using other system. Currently, users enter which date they received from which venders by manually. It is very helpful to export list of sub-folders in csv format to import this file to another system.

  8. Making Box Notes specific to Folders

    I use Box Notes as a running shared agenda with clients, however, it's difficult to switch between client's notes since they only allow for one default location to save notes. I try to save them directly in the folder the client is working out of.

    Could there be multiple save locations for notes for a specific folder? Or a way to assign it once created?

  9. Allow content shared via shared link (not just an attachment) to be uploaded when "emailed to folder" in Box

    As we transition away from attachments, shared links (from Box or others) are being emailed.

    Request: Upload to folder when the user sends it with the "email to folder" address.

  10. Remove sharing on all folders option.

    When deactivating a user, I also want to remove their sharing from all folders, otherwise it appears to other users that they're still sharing with other users which causes confusion.

  11. Box Relay: Remove Collaborators and Shared Links

    We would like the ability to use Box Relay to automatically remove all Collaborators and Shared Links from a folder and all of the sub-items within that folder.
    This functionality would be used to secure company files when an employee is off-boarded and ideally this process would be generated by placing a folder within another folder.

  12. Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)

    Use Case:
    - There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
    - This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
    - Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folder

    Currently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:

    Option 1:
    Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
    Export the report
    Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column
    This…

  13. Allow folders or files to show up in multiple places but be the same object

    This is a feature request.

    I notice that sometimes team members copy or upload the same document to multiple locations in the same workspace or within the same workspace. For example, there is a shared folder with multiple sub-folders within it. The same file may live within many of those sub-folders. These are all separate files, so if someone uploads a new version of that file somewhere else, the other files are an older copy of that file.

    The request would be to allow some way to show, or link to, a file that is elsewhere in…

  14. Right clicking box folders to open a new tab

    I would like to be able to open Box folders in a new tab by right-clicking that folder. Several years ago, when I first started using Box, I was able to do that, but for the last couple years that feature has disappeared.

    I'm not referring to breadcrumbs. I understand those can be right-clicked and opened in a new tab. Instead, I'm referring to the folders I see before me when I log into Box.

  15. Detect empty folders

    Is there a way to detect empty folders in Box (so we can delete them if needed, to simplify a folder tree) ?
    Maybe a tool on a computer can work (like Remove Empty Directories) but it would be great if it was detected by Box itself.

  16. Enable download of watermarked file via public shared link.

    We want to be able to distribute watermarked files via public shared link. It's confusing for end users, as well, since the Shared Link settings for allow download is not grayed out when the file is "watermarked".

    We will review this request once we see additional use cases and customer demand.

  17. Make setting a password for shared links mandatory.

    Currently setting password for shared links is not mandatory. We would like to have the ability to set a global control that requires all public/open ('people with the link') links to be password-protected.

  19. Improvements should be made so that folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled can be selected when selecting folders in Box Relay.

    When selecting folders in Box Relay, folders below the folders for which CAN VIEW PATH is enabled cannot be selected.
    The only current workaround is to disable CAN VIEW PATH or search for lower level folders in the folder search, which is inconvenient because many similar folders are picked up and it is necessary to open each folder one by one, so we would like to see an improvement so that lower level folders can be selected even from folders with CAN VIEW PATH enabled.

    <CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダをBox Relayのフォルダを選択する際に選択できるように改善してほしい>
    Box Relayのフォルダを選択する際CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダの下層のフォルダが選択できません。
    現在の回避策としてはCAN VIEW PATHを無効化するかフォルダ検索で下層のフォルダを検索するしかなく、類似するフォルダが多数ピックアップされてしまい、一個一個フォルダを開く必要があり不便な状態のため、CAN VIEW PATHを有効化しているフォルダからも下層のフォルダを選択できるよう改善してほしいです。

  20. Folder-Level Activity Reporting: Ability to Report on Activity and Access Stats at the Folder Level

    Add an 'export' option available for folder Owners & Co-Owners to export various items at the folder level (meaning in the webapp - not the Admin Console) for

    --Activity (uploads, download, moves, previews, create shared link, invite collaborators, etc.) in the folder
    --Collaborations
    --Etc.
