  2. Initiating Box Sign Requests from AppUser Accounts or Specific Folders

    Currently, our firm does not allocate storage space to individual Box user accounts. Instead, we manage storage through AppUser accounts, structured around client matter–centric accounts and folders.

    During testing of Box Sign, we observed that sign requests are initiated from individual user accounts, resulting in the creation of a ‘My Signed Documents’ folder within each user’s storage. This approach necessitates allocating storage to individual user accounts for the saving of signed documents, which is inconsistent with our firm’s storage model.

    Would it be possible to enhance Box Sign so that the signing process can be initiated from a selected…

  3. Enable shared link expiration notifications for user that enabled the shared link

    For a closed folder structure, where the primary admin owns all content, Box should give the ability to 1) disable shared link expiration notifications for folder owners and 2) enable them specifically for the users that created the shared link to begin with.

    Even if the former will not be changed, the latter behavior would be important for a closed folder structure.

  4. Direct from link directly to desktop application

    To open a file from a link that is currently a shared link or a link in the URL of a Box storage location, the following steps must be taken
    1.Click on the link
    2.Login to Box
    3.Display the preview
    4.Click "Open
    5.Launch the desktop application

    Office files are often edited in the desktop application,
    and launching Box ⇒ showing preview ⇒ launching the desktop application is a laborious process with many steps to open the file.

    Please add a new feature so that after clicking on the share link and logging in, the screen allows the user to select…

  6. notifications group

    Allow users to set per-group notification preferences. My work recently created several umbrella groups that contain 100's of people and these groups get added as collaborators to announcement type documents. These documents generate a lot of noise with comments, etc. Now I have to choose whether to get flooded with notifications or turn them off. I would prefer to disable notifications of just the documents associated with these big umbrella groups, not the notifications for documents to which my account has been specifically added as a collaborator.

  7. Email to folder failure notifications

    Currently if an email to folder upload fails the notification tells you that an event happens but no information about what address was emailed or the target folder to assist in identify the problematic process.

    Information can be obtained through a support ticket, but it would be quicker if at a minimum the folder ID was included in the email. Would be great if other information about the sender could be included as well, but I'd take just getting the folder ID as a start.

    Present notification only includes the following:

    Your attempt to email file(s) into 'a folder' was…

  8. Add functionality to view all folders set to "Make available offline"

    I would love to be able to see which folders are currently set to "make available offline". I need free up space regularly.

    Or a feature to see how much space box is taking up on my machine and what folders are using the space. Similar to storage on a Mac.

  9. Bypass Box interface when signing a document via notification email

    We have a client who wants to implement Box Sign, but can't do so until their senior leadership is able to bypass the Box interface as an intermediary. Senior leadership, often on the go, wants to be able to click directly from their email to sign a document.

  10. Generate Report directly from the "View Report" link in "unusual activity" notification email to admin

    Please explore changing the Unusual User Activity notification emails to admins to actually spin out the report for a user when the "View Report" link is clicked, instead of prompting admins to run the report manually after clicking "View Report."

  12. I would like the number of managed users to be displayed in real time.

    Regarding counting managed users in Admin Console > Users & Groups, the current design has a delay of one or few hours before accurate number is reflected.
    While we can use reports to see the exact number of users, it would be better to be able to see the number immediately after adding or removing users more intuitively.

  13. Delete Notifications

    We love Box Shield, but one feature we see missing is delete notifications.
    If a user or service deletes a large amount of files, having a rea time notification would be valuable to troubleshoot and next steps.

  14. Allow invitee to be notified of auto-expiration collaboration event

    One of the settings in "auto-expiration" (Enterprise setting -> Content & Sharing) currently wrote "notify affected users" when the folder owner is the only person actually receiving the notification.

  15. Enable account upgrades without needing to have 3 members

    I currently have a Personal Pro account, and I'd like to upgrade to get more storage. It seems, however, that all upgrade options involve at least 3 users. I am but one. As much as I'd like to clone myself sometimes, it's just not practical (or, frankly, ethical...but that's another story).

    Can we make a way to upgrade a 1-person account without having to pay for two unnecessary users?

    If not, you're essentially throwing up a middle finger to solo practitioners, which isn't very nice.

  16. Improvement of API performance and creation of guidelines for API usage

    When utilizing Box’s API, if the amount of content per folder is enormous or the number of invitations to a folder is high, the processing speed drops significantly. As a result, it takes a long time to complete operations, which is quite frustrating.

    We would like the API to deliver a more comfortable and speedy processing experience, so I hope you will improve the performance when using the API.

    Additionally, there are currently no guidelines regarding API performance, so we have no choice but to verify performance degradation through testing.

    This is hindering proactive API development. Please create clear guidelines…

  18. Ability to make Excel scripts available in "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring"

    Currently, due to OneDrive for Business requirements, scripts are not available when coauthoring is enabled in Box.
     reference information:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/scripts/overview/excel#requirements:~:text=scripts%20from%20scratch.-,Requirements,Internet%20connectivity%20with%20connected%20experiences%20enabled.,-Note

    In business, Excel scripting is a frequently used function.
    "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring" is enabled, and the ability to use Office scripts is desired even when Box is used as storage.

    <Box for Microsoft Office の共同編集でExcelのスクリプトを利用可能にする機能>

    現在、OneDrive for Businessの要件があるため、Boxで共同編集が有効になっているとスクリプトが利用できません。
     参考:https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/office/dev/scripts/overview/excel#requirements

    業務上、Excelのスクリプトは頻繁に使用される機能です。
    Box for Microsoft Office の共同編集が有効になっており、Boxをストレージとして使用している場合でもOfficeスクリプトを使用できることが望まれます。

  19. Display folder sizes when sorting by size and support sorting by file count

    In Box Web, content can be sorted by “Size,” but the Size column for folders displays the number of files rather than the folder’s storage size.
    As a result, even when the contents are sorted by storage size, the screen may display file counts such as “1,000,” “20,” and “600.” This can lead users to mistakenly believe that the contents have not been sorted correctly.
    We would like to request the following improvements:

    ・Display the folder’s storage size alongside the file count in the Size column
    ・Allow users to sort folders by file count in addition to storage size

    These…
