  1. Please improve how admins can build and share folders

    As a new Box admin provisioning our environment I would love to see an improvement on how admins can create and assign access to folders. Simply creating an admin tab where the admin can view all folders in the environment and create, delete, and assign access to would be perfect.

  3. 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…

  4. When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash.

    When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash. Here is the behavior we noticed: a. We enable "Restrict content creation" in Enterprise Settings. b. User who is not the owner of the folder deletes files. -> The files will be shown in Trash. c. The same user deletes the folder which the files above existed in. d. The files which were deleted in process "a" are no longer shown in trash, making users unable to restore them, unless they restore the folder itself. e. However, the files…

  5. 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

  6. Check if a shared link exists in BoxDrive

    On BoxDrive, it is not possible to tell in which folder the shared link has been issued.
    I wish there was a way to check if a shared link has already been issued on BoxDrive.

    -in Japanese-
    BoxDrive上では、どのフォルダで共有リンクが発行されているか分からない。BoxDrive上でも共有リンクがすでに発行されているか確認できるようにしてほしい。

  7. Adjust Messaging on Shared Link Expiration email

    When emails are sent out, instructions are provided to extend shared links. Customer requests that, when configured so users can not extend, this messaging not be shown.

  8. 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.

  9. Delete empty/orphaned parent folders.

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

    Currently only the contents of the folders are deleted leaving an orphaned empty parent folder that have to be manually deleted.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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)

    □ I want to be able to increase and customize the definition of shared links

    What you want to achieve
    ・I want to be able to set the definition of shared links by the administrator.
    ・ I want to be able to specify whether or not to access the link by the domain of the email address.
    ・I want to set a shared link for the created group.

    As a business impact, in the case of school use, all faculty members and all students can see it in the "company user" of the shared link.
    In some cases, students may…

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

    Thanks for the feedback. Decluttering the top action bar and leaving the top user actions is one of the major goal of our new UI. Currently, you can click on the “Share” button for the file, and the “Email” icon within the share window.

  17. Download trashed folders via Content Manager

  18. Ability to generate shared links with the same settings for multiple items in a folder

    We would like the ability to multi-select content, generate shared link references to the content, and either have the result exported to a CSV file or into a table formatted Box Note with File Name and shared link URL.

    We are looking to displace existing Wiki functionality in favor of Box

  19. 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?

  20. 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.
