  1. Shared Links Only Accessible in "Trusted" Locations

    I would kindly like to request that BOX add a feature where we can restrict shared links by the location they are accessed from. For example, if we share a link we want to be able to restrict access to only people in the USA. This feature will add an additional layer of security and help keep collaboration more compliant. Please add.

  2. Expired Shared Link Notification to Owner

    Today, if I click on an expired shared link I cannot access the file. Ideally, I'd like the content owner to be notified if I click on the expired shared link so that they know that I'm trying to access it/can make it available to me.

  4. Easily identify folders owned by an individual user via Content Manager

    I have a need to determine what folders are owned by a certain person and wanted to know the easiest way to get that information. When viewing under Content Manager I see all the folders the person has access to but cannot filter it for the one she owns. I also tried running the Folders and Files report but am getting an error.

    For example, I need to look up all folders owned by one user in order to change them after a name change.

  5. Delete empty/orphaned parent folders.

    Please add the ability to delete empty parent folders that have reached a deletion threshold.

  6. Use an image in place of the folder icon for folders

    We would like to use an image in place of the folder icon for folders. We embed a couple of root folders on our website so that our distributors have access to resources. When they click into the root folder, they see a list of other folders. It would be good if these folders could be represented by a suitable image instead of the blue folder icon. Can this functionality be developed please?

  7. 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,
    Klara Satinova,
    Kyndryl

  8. Shared links control for primary admin

    Create a primary admin only setting that will delete all shared links for an entire enterprise. Trying to enforce an expiration date for all shared links in the enterprise and all the current solutions are not scalable and are very time consuming.

  9. Pop up message when users try to move Large folders to a trash

    Hi Could you consider displaying a pop-up message when users try to move a lot of contents to a trash?

    Currently, a pop up message appears when large folders are moved to oher folders. But no message appears when a user tries to move contents to a trash.

  10. Expire shared links for external users, but not internal employees

    When employees use shared links to exchange sensitive data with clients, we set them to expire for security reasons. However, when we later encounter a shared link within an internal email or slack message, we can no longer see what it linked to. We could go run a report to find out, but that would be a support ticket. It would be much better if shared links could just continue working for employees (if they are permitted direct access) even after they have expired for external users.

    Before link expiration, content is accessible to anybody internal or external who has…

  12. Add second step when creating Shared Link for a folder

    When somebody clicks on share a folder through a link, it directly creates a link to the folder even if they close the tab and do not share it.

    REQUEST: Include a second step to avoid the creation of links by mistake. A person ended up creating an open shared link hundreds of documents without saving or sharing the link

  13. Customize "shared settings" notification

    Hi,

    Whenever I put a BOX link on slack, I always get the "shared settings" notification.

    "It says I can customize the sharing settings use the dropdown list. "

    But I just want to share the link, don't want to customize every time. Is it possible to set not to display this?

  14. Folders and Files Report - Include Subfolders

    When you run the Folders and Files Report, and you filter down to run the report on a specific folder, you are unable to select the subfolders within that folder. This really limits the functionality of this report.

    I request that you add the "Include Subfolders" toggle to the Folders and Files report (just as it exists in the User Activity Report)

  16. Generating/Copying-to-clipboard multiple shared links at once through file explorer

    Egnyte, one of Box's competitors, gives users the ability to select multiple documents in file explorer to then generate their respective shared links all at once. These links (and the document titles) are then copied to the clipboard and can thus be easily distributed.

  18. Ability to see additional info from a shared link (file/folder owner, parent folder/location, etc.)

    Oftentimes, users get access to a link that is shared with them via email, chat, etc.

    If the owner or the file is deleted, moved, or transferred, there isn't an easy way to identify where the file lives and who owns it either from an end user or admin perspective.

    Currently, we have to reach out to Box Support to look up the file ID or shared link to get this information.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

  19. Auto-sync sub folders

    If you sync a main folder, every folder under it or created inside it should get synced. I shouldn't have to go back to box.com to see if someone added a folder to the main directory if I have it so that directory is synced.

    So if I have main directory Projects and someone adds a folder called Peanuts, it should automatically sync the peanuts folder and all its contetns because I told box to sync everything in the Projects folder. I shouldn't have to search out new folders every day, it should automatically download them to my computer.
