  1. Include link to folder/file shared in admin email notification for sharing policies

    Currently, the email notification for a sharing policy only shows who sent the collaboration invite and to whom rather than showing the content that was shared. This requires an admin to pull a collaboration report each time to verify what was shared.

  2. 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.

  3. Restrict Access Right to Sub-Folders

    Hello,

    After creating FOLDER A and SUB-FOLDERS B, C, D under A, along with sub-subfolders E, F, G under B, I granted User X viewer access to A. However, I aim to restrict or remove their access to C, E, F, and G. Unfortunately, this functionality isn't currently available with Box.com. Could you consider adding this feature? Thank you!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  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. 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.

  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. 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.

  10. 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…

  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. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. ADD LOCKED FOLDERS LIST IN THE USER ACTIVITY REPORT

    Currently we have no way to look up which holders are locked via FolderLockAPI.
    To avoid any trouble not knowing who has been locked,
    we'd like to request to add the locked folders list in the user activity report.

    FolderLockAPIを利用してLockされているフォルダの一覧をレポートに出したい:
    FolderLockAPIを利用してLockしたフォルダーについて、
    どのフォルダーがロックされているかがわからなくなるなどのトラブルを防ぐために、
    現時点でロックされているフォルダの一覧をアクティビティレポートに出力したい。

  16. 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。

  17. Folder colors

    In Box it is not very easy to see what foders are shared externally. There are small globe icons on the collaborators, but if that list is too long, the external collaborator might not show up.

    Apart from that: the list of collaborators is not visible in Box Drive.

    Box should introduce a new Folder type (different color, different icon) to show that information in this folder is shared with external collaborators. This functionality should be available across all clients (Web, Drive, Mobile).

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  18. Subdomain of shared folder should match folder owner

    There is a difference in the URL that is actually displayed to collaborators.

    The custom sub domain of the tenant to which user A belongs is “aaa.app.box.com“.
    The custom subdomain of the tenant to which user B belongs is “bbb.app.box.com“.

    User B was invited as a collaborator to a folder owned by user A.

    The URL of the file placed in that folder is

    User A will see “aaa.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.
    User B will see “bbb.app.box.com/file/67022264912“.

    Can the URL be changed so that the sub domain matches the owner of the folder? When collaborators go to a folder owned by another enterprise,…

  19. Automatic deletion of Teams linked folders

    I would like to see a specification that when Teams V2 linkage is done, the folders are automatically deleted along with the team deletion, or all access rights are removed, except for certain accounts.

  20. Binding existing files/folders to a virtual folder for sharing

    Situation
    I've been working on several projects for a client, with a main folder for each project containing the project files, organised in sub folders. My client asked me if it was possible to point him to one folder that contained the neccessary files from each project for simplified access, without having to send him multiple sharing links to each folder instead.

    Approach
    Normally I would set up that folder on my local computer, put in all the necessary files and upload it, providing a sharing link to my client.

    Suggestion
    What if it was possible to bypass this…
