"Last Modified By" criteria as an option within Folder and Files report
Why isn't "Last Modified By" criteria an option within Folder and Files report? This information should automatically included. It doesn't make sense why we can't query this information.

Gmail integration
Hello,
I am hoping that the Box interface with Gmail will be improved to the level that the interface is with Microsoft Outlook. Outlook can link to multiple files simultaneously, can link to folders, and leaves off with the last searched item. Working within Gmail has slowed down our process with Box significantly. So much so that I choose not to use the interface but grab the link directly from Box. Please advise when this can be updated/improved. Thanks!1 vote -
Ability to tick checkbox in MS word
It would be great to be able to tick checkboxes on a document created in Microsoft Word without downloading the file, opening it in Microsoft Word, and then reupload it.

Search for Users Currently on Legal Hold
Currently we are dealing with a matter that has spiraled into a huge undertaking because of the way Legal Holds are implemented. Our client has enabled over 25 Legal Hold policies, each one has an average of 50 users. We have a list of over 20 custodians that we need to know which Legal Hold they are currently on, if any.
There are two ways to implement this:
1 - Allow Admins to see whether the custodian (or any of their data) is currently on a Legal Hold policy, which Legal Hold Policy it is currently on, and why it is on that Legal Hold Policy. Other users can interact with the file which places it on Legal Hold.2 - Provide a better Search function within the Legal Hold section of the Governance platform so that we can search for users who may be on multiple Legal Holds.

Sorting Files Uploaded By File Request
A single file request collects multiple files which all end up in the same folder from many users. There is no automated way to sort this content e.g. In a case where 500 files are submitted. Can a method to automatically sort this be created e.g. upload zones sending content into separate sub-folders or Relay moving groups of content based on metadata into new folders created upon upload

Ability to restrict target users who can be logged in login as user by admin and co-admin
When investigating internal fraud, for example, the login as user function may be used to log in to the user under investigation. Currently, all users can log in if they have login as user privileges.
For example, it is possible to access management user accounts and top secret information.
Therefore, we would like to see a function implemented to limit the target users who can log in.2 votes -
Ability to Edit folder contents but Folder cannot be deleted
Hello,
I am submitting a feature request for the ability to have Folder contents edited and changed (Add remove files), but users who have Editor permissions cannot delete the folder itself. We had an issue where a folder was deleted that has data sent to it via a Python script. The user meant to delete some contents from the folder, but accidentally deleted the folder itself. The folder name was "Doc Upload Test".
I was able to get the folder restored through the Box Support team. If there was a feature for each folder where a checkbox was available that has an option where only the Admin account can remove the folder, would be very helpful. I think the cloud storage provider MEGA offers a similar feature. The users you share the folder with can view your files, and add their own files and folders but not edit, delete or move anyone else's files shared in that folder.
Thanks.

Display folder sync warning message and revers sync from local folders
Dear Admins,
would it be possible to have an option , warning about all data deletion or when whole box folder is being removed from box, be shown before sync. with local folders? This would prevent data loss.
As well option to sync. from local copy will enable option to easily restore data from Box, this would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Ability to overwrite original file with the signed file
Allow for the signed file to overwrite the original file. Access permissions would need to be set. Unsigned document can be access from Version history.

Set personal defaults, like alpha by Name
We need to be able to set personal defaults on our Box pages. For example, I want folders to come up in alpha order by name. Right now they seem to default to something else that seems random to me. It's very frustrating not having things in alpha order so that I can look them up easily. It makes no sense to have to take the extra step of setting the order to NAME every single time I go to a Box page.

Outlook Integration - Box Embed Widget/ Folder Tree View
It would be useful to offer users of Outlook a view into all of their Box files via a folder tree or embed widget. They could easily drag and drop emails or attachments into the relevant folders to be stored as well as viewing their content/ reading archived emails. Supporting our philosophy of integration and being able to surface content through popular applications. Requested by customer Eric Wright Group in EMEA.

Secure open link - Require email address verification with one-time password
【Summary】
Please add "Require email address confirmation by one-time password" to the Open Link settings.
This will allow the access statistics to show the email addresses of users who have accessed from the open link, so that you can determine if the access is suspicious or not.【Problem to be solved】
The current open link is not secure enough.
This is because it is not possible to determine who accessed the file.
With the current use, if a user who is not logged in to Box accesses from an open link, the access history only shows the IP address and expected region.
The IP address can only be used to guess the network used, and the expected region is wrong in some cases.
It is impossible for the IT management department to monitor whether the open link is a pathway for information leakage.【Idea Details】
Allow users to select "Require email address verification with one-time password" when issuing an Open Link.
If this setting is enabled, the following actions will be taken
<If the user accessing is logged in to Box>
Displayed as before, without change.
<If the user accessing is not logged in to Box>
(1) The user will be asked to enter email address.
The one-time password will be sent to the address he/she entered.
(3) The user will be asked to enter one-time password.
(4) When the user enter the correct one-time password, he/she will be able to open the open link.
(5)The email address entered will be displayed in the file access history.【Additional idea】
If you realize this request, it will also be possible to restrict open links with a domain whitelist. I have raised the request in the following ticket.

file transfer status
One of our users recently asked the following:
"The Transfers pane in the Box drive alert window rarely shows any file
names, even when files are actively being transferred. Please change the
Transfers window so that it shows a rolling list of all transferring and
recently transferred files and a time remaining estimate. The list
should be rolling and not clear when the transfers are done. It should
always be possible to see the last 5-10 files that Box Drive has
transferred."I'm not sure if this is a reasonable request, but thought I'd share it here.

Automatically save Box Drive logs
I want Box Drive logs to be automatically saved in Box.
Currently, Box Drive logs are deleted by log rotation, and even a customer wants to ask Box to investigate, the logs are no longer left.
As a result, Box, Inc. sometimes cannot investigate it.Because Box recommends an unlimited-capacity digital workplace environment, I think it's nonsense that we lose logs.
Therefore, I would like to be able to automatically save the Box Drive log to Box as an option.

Move checked off items to the bottom of list
It would be fantastic if you have a list in Box note, the items you mark as "complete" get moved to the bottom of the list.

Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads
Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads to a 'file request' link. Both the bearer token and folder id are not known and are not available within the URL.
a possible solution would be to implement an 'OPTIONS' call to the URL to return a throw-away bearer token and the folder id so that the existing file upload API calls can be used.3 votes
