View Owner/Creator of Files in Box Drive
We would like the ability to display accurate information about the Owner/creator of files within Box Drive for Windows. The Owner column in Windows was used prior to our migration to Box to show who originally created the file for a folder all in a single glance. Although Box.com shows the upload history of individual files, it's a manual process of viewing each file-- a pain point-- compared to the table view of File Explorer with the Owner column displaying. Currently, within Box Drive/File Explorer, the Owner column is empty. This would be useful for the users to know who to contact regarding the files.
(Side note: Our migration to Box from file shares has modified the Owner of files to be 'Box Admin', altering the accuracy of what the users want to see -- the original creator of the file. The last Uploader in Box.com is the closest thing to what the users want to see but it is not exactly the same. )

Ability to easily view notifications
Tasks, etc. are notified in the notification field, but I would like to see it improved so that it is easier to see.
For example, carousel or feed format.
I would like the notifications to be structured in such a way that I can always see them on the screen and notice them without having to click on them.2 votes -
Ability to sort bookmarks with other files (e.g., alphabetically)
Please allow links/bookmarks within folders to be sorted (e.g., alphabetically) and not stuck to the end of the list. This would make it easier to find items that are dated; I, for example, have all my items dated, and it's super inconvenient to have the bookmarks located separately/out of order within my folders.

Accessible text colors in Box Notes
Update text colors in Box to be accessible, WCAG-compliant color options. The option to create useful Box Notes by using text color is a nice feature, but most of the color options provided (other than black) do not meet even AA contrast standards and are difficult to read even with typical eyesight.
Minimally, the colors used in the suggested templates and on badges throughout Box should be accessible.

Box Sheild - Improved alert policies
We are based out of the US but have a few users based out of other countries. As of now, every time they access Box we get an alert for a suspicious login location. We can exclude the entire country, which we do not wish to do or we can exclude a specific IP. It would be great if we could create a IF THEN statement. Example: IF user = *@specificdomain.com AND location=specific country THEN SuspiciousLocationAlert=False.
To summarize, additional configuration of alerts would be very beneficial.

Support Box Notes in Dark Mode

Update activity report to include password reset (IP & time)
Add the password reset to the activity report or security log so that you know who sent it.
Logging the IP address and time of day when it was sent will make it easier to determine if it was done by a malicious third party or by the user.(In Japanese)
パスワードリセットが誰によって送信されたかが分かるようにアクティビティレポートもしくはセキュリティログに追加してください。
送信時のログにIPアドレスと時間帯ログにのこれば、悪意のある第三者実施したのかユーザーの手によって実施されたのかの調査がしやすくなります。4 votes -
Enhancement to the UI when the user violates the limit on the number of items in the trash can that can be confirmed on the screen.
I want to improve the behavior when the user violates the limit on the number of items in the trash can that can be confirmed on the screen.
I want you to display up to the latest ○ items instead of displaying the contents at all.
If it is difficult to realize this request, please display the screen of the reason why it is not displayed and the workaround screen instead of the error screen of "The specified page does not exist" to reduce the business impact.If it disappears suddenly, you will not be able to restore or confirm it if you accidentally delete it.
In addition, there is a possibility that multiple users with a large amount of data will encounter this problem in the future, which may have a business impact, so we request improvement.【日本語】
ユーザーが画面で確認することのできるゴミ箱内のアイテムの数表示上の制限に抵触した場合の動きを改善して欲しい。全く中身表示されなくなるのではなく、直近○万件まで表示されるようにして欲しいです。
当要望の実現が難しい場合、業務影響の軽減のため「指定したページは存在しません」の
エラー画面ではなく、表示されない理由や回避方法の画面を表示して欲しい。急に表示されなくなると、誤って削除を行った際や復元、確認を行うことができなくなります。
また、データ保有規模が大きいユーザーが今後この問題に複数名遭遇する可能性もあり

Transfer ownership of a file
I was blown away that I can't change the ownership of "files", only folders. We have a user that retired and we need to transfer ownership of all her content to other employees (not just a single employee). Transferring ownership of a "folder" is easy and straightforward.
Box has a limitation that prevents you from transferring ownership of an individual file. This user has about 40 files at their root of her account (under All Files). The only way to change ownership is to move the file into a folder and then share and change the ownership of the folder. That's ridiculous and super time consuming!!
All of these files have different permissions and can't be copied into a single folder in this case. I have to create 40 separate folders, copy each individual file into each corresponding folder, share the folder with whoever the new owner will be and then transfer ownership of the folder to the new owner.

Improve breadcrumbs/file paths
Improve breadcrumb usability. As of now, only 1-3 file paths show before opening a folder. You have to click the btn-content button to view previous folders and/or navigate back to all files.
Decreasing the size of the text (or maybe only showing 10-12 characters) would help with this.

Ability to apply signing template to document uploaded to folder via relay
It would be great if a specified signature template could be applied to a document uploaded to a specified folder via relay, and use fields within the document to specify recipients. For example, uploading a document with a number of names and email addresses would automatically have a signature template applied, then use the email addresses and names within the document to assign those people to the proper signature areas, then send the document for signature.

Automatic actions based on alerts
We would like to be able to set automated actions based on alerts. For example if Box detects anomalous download with a risk score higher than e.g. 60 or a set threshold of number of files, the user’s account will be locked to stop further downloads.
A message should then be sent to the user and IT admin that it has been locked due to anomalous download detection. Then IT need to do a investigate and take action, or reactivate the account if it is a false positive.
The pain point of not having this option is that the current alert is very reactive. Loads of files can be downloaded before we can stop it. We can take disciplinary actions, but the information may still have been stolen or shared, which is an information security issue.

When moving a file from an external tenant, the collaboration log of the user invited to the moved file is not output.
If you perform a move operation under the following conditions, the invitation log will not be included in the collaboration report.
[External Box tenant]
Folder X User ①: Editor or higher authority
∟File Y User ②: Has access authority (regardless of authority)When user ① belonging to the company's tenant moves file Y from the above state by move operation
⇒ The log that the user ② invited to file Y was invited to the company's tenant is not listed.We heard that this behavior is by design.
When moving a file from an external Box environment, if the access authority of the user invited to the file also moves to the company's tenant, I think that it is necessary to output a report as an invitation operation.
When conducting an investigation, you should check the user activity report, not the collaboration log.
The investigation is very time-consuming, so we want it to be refurbished.(In Japanese)
下記の条件で移動操作を行った場合にコラボレーションレポートに招待のログが記載されません。[外部のBoxテナント]
フォルダX ユーザー①：編集者以上の権限
∟ファイルY ユーザー ②：アクセス権限あり(権限は問わない)上記の状態から自社テナントに所属するユーザー①が移動操作でファイルYを移動させた場合
⇒ファイルYに招待されているユーザー②が自社テナントに招待されたログが記載されません。この動作は仕様であると伺っています。
外部のBox環境からファイルを移動してきた際に、ファイルに招待されているユーザーのアクセス権限も自社テナントに移動する場合は、招待の操作としてレポート出力される必要があると思います。調査を行う際にコラボレーションログではなく、ユーザーアクティビティレポートにて確認する必要があります。
調査に非常に手間がかかるため改修を行ってほしいです。If you perform a move operation under the following conditions, the invitation log will not be included in the collaboration report.

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.
