  1. install and syncronize box in a chosen folder

    1. I am windows user. I wanted to install box and syncronize my box files in my local D: drive, because my C: drive is full. Surprisingly, the installation process of Box app does not provide such an option (of selecting which drive to install Box to). It by default is installed on C: drive . This is very insane. Windows Users can choose to install which drive to install any app.

    2. My C: drive is full, and I want to syncronise everything both in cloud and in local computer, but i cannot do so because C: drive is full, and…

  2. I don't want to show only "Everyone who knows the link" in the tenant settings. I only want to see "Company Users" and "Invited Users Only".

    There are three types of shared links as follows
    All users who know the link
    Company users
    Invited users only

    Of these three types, the current tenant settings are as follows
    ・Show all three types
    ・Show only invited users
    The following two patterns are available.

    Please make it possible to set the following two types of settings instead of only showing "everyone who knows the link".
    Company users
    Invited users only

    The background of the request is that we want to create a folder that all users in the company who use Box can access.
    The reason for the request…

  3. 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…

  4. Shared link - colour code the link icon to advise who it is shared with Public, invited only etc

    Currently if a file or folder has shared link enabled it, it places a blue symbol between the file name and last updated date. You have 2 options to see what the shared link is enabled as either by clicking onto the link symbol and it shows the properties of the enabled link or highlighting the folder/file and looking at details on the right hand side.

    It would be better if the symbol was perhaps a different colour to show it was the different status e.g blue -invited only - green - people in your company - red -public

  5. Single API call to delete user and transfer folders for that user

    Before deleting a user from box system we can transfer the root folder from one user account to
    another.
    Once the root folder is transferred only then delete API must be triggered.
    So in all, the delete operation will have to call two API one to transfer and another to delete.

    But as the transfer API call will return synchronously.
    For users with a large number of files and folders, this means the call could take minutes or hours to return.

    So the delete operation will be in pending state until we receive the transfer API response.

    Does box now…

  6. Document metadata processing and visualization for decision making in large organizations

    Example: Financial organization such as a bank, needs to process a new loan. They will need to process income verification, identity verification, and other documents. The bank representative receiving this information must validate these documents, so the metadata pulled from these documents should be easily exported into a friendly format, such as excel.

    This will allow bank representative to easily approve or deny the loan, and can be automated using Box Relay.

    This is a killer application, because it will increase the efficiency of document processing, and will speed up and automate the work of many employees. This will shift…

  7. Stop or modify instant suspension of new user email addresses on account setup, or give admins access to your blocklist

    When a new user account is set up, a confirmation email is automatically sent to the login address for the account. Currently, if this message is bounced, the user's email address is immediately placed on your block list.

    So - I create a new staff email account in 365, then use that email address to set up a Box account. Box immediately sends a confirmation email message - but 365 is having a slow day and the gateway hasn't yet caught up with accepting messages for that address. The confirmation message is bounced, and the user's email address is immediately…

  8. Have an enterprise-facing/admin notice that external collaborators have certain single-file upload limits (250 mb, 2 GB, 5 GB, etc.)

    Currently, the responsibility lies on the external collaborator (they receive a message to upgrade their account), but admin would like a way to know if external collaborators have these limits

  12. Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality

    Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:

    templateKey = template
    filters = {"value": 2}

    Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.

    a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.

    b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…

  14. Adapt Annotations to achieve Accessibility guidelines

    Box View does not conformance with W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) at conformance levels A and AA - specifically, annotations can only be viewed around mouseover. This is a blocker for us as we work with public universities who have to meet those guidelines.

  15. lock reservation function

    Currently, we cannot make a reservation to lock the file.
    Customer wants lock reservation function.

    Example : If folder owner select lock date to 1/2, User can edit its file until 1/1. After 1/2, user will be not able to edit it.

    Use case :If this function was implemented, user can create deadline to editing file.

  16. Box Relay's 'New Upload' trigger only fires with the first version of the file.

    1. Add "Box Script" to your drop down list of systems on this page.
    2. Modify Script's 'New Upload' Relay Trigger so it applies to updated copies of a file to that same folder. aka V2, V3, etc. Currenty 'New Upload' only fires on the first time a file with that name is uploaded.

  17. More possibilities regarding session timeout

    We find that the session timeout possibilities are somewhat limited. The jump from 2 days to 14 days is quite big - 2 days would log everyone out during each weekend, and would result in support tickets and 14 days are quite many. Something like 4 days inbetween would be great.

  18. Ability to return all files and folders from a specific folder name

    Currently , using the Folder API call with 0 for folder_id at the Root Level will return all the files/folders that the user is permissioned for.

                 GET https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/:0
    

    Request to do the same, but for a specific folder’s scope:

                 GET https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/SPECIFICFOLDERNAME/:0

  20. Would love to have files/folders in numbered order when more than 9

    In some of my Box Drive folders I would like to number the sub folders/files for best structure. So the folder names would be something like: 1. Budget, 2. Production plan, 3. ...... 10. Casting, 11. Marketing, and so on.
    But when I have more than 9 folders numbered like this they will not keep in the numbered order. 10 and 11 comes before 2 and so on. This drives me and my coworkers crazy. Is there any way to fix this so that they keep in the numbered order 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 and so on?
