  1. Enable different folders to sync on different PC's

    I want to sync a different subset on folders on a different PC. It appears that is not possible. You can only select one set for syncing... and that's it.

  2. Indefinite retention for top level, Finite retention for sub-folders

    Ability to have an Indefinite retention policy as a top level folder and Finite retention policies on sub-folders. Sub folders should by default inherit from the parent, but if listed in another policy then the sub folder should be able to override the default

    a. This would prevent having to have separate folder trees for Indefinite and Finite policies

    b. The parent could be ‘Work in Progress’ and then just move to a sub folder…keeps the documents more logically organized by department

  3. Collaborations Report: Add Folder Filter

    My customer would like to filter down to a specific parent folder and see a report on all collaborators on that root folder and all child folders below. Right now the Collaborations report shows ALL folders which takes a long time to run and requires filtering after the report is run. Ideally we could filter to the correct folder at the beginning.

  4. Box Skills triggers for shared links and collaborators

    Currently webhooks support shared link and collaborators event triggers. Webhook v1 can be set at org level but does not work. Webhook v2 cannot be set at org level.

    As Box Skills is the recommended webhooks for 3rd party CASB providers over Webhooks v1 or v2.

    Add Box Skills trigger when a shared link is created/deleted/modified

    Add Box Skills trigger when a collaborator is added/deleted/modified

    □ 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…

  7. Syncing bookmarks and Windows shortcuts between Box Drive and online.

    To better organize my personal Box files and share with teams, I've saved my files in the team folder and used a Windows shortcut (in Box Drive) in my personal Box folder to link files/folders elsewhere on Box. Box Drive doesn't sync Window's shortcuts so these links are lost when working online. The workaround online is to use the bookmark function, using file/folder URLs to create shortcuts. It would be great if bookmarks or window's shortcuts synced between online and Box Drive modes. At the moment I'm having to bookmark online and shortcut on Drive to link up files…

  8. Enforce parent folder collaboration restrictions on moved folders

    Make sure that folder settings apply to all the subfolders. Currently, even if you restrict collaboration to within your company through folder settings, a folder that is already collaborated to external users can be moved into that folder. Right now, we don’t have the mechanism to check if a folder that is about to be moved is collaborated to external user.

  10. Provide option to omit the Signup and Login buttons from shared links (downloladable)

    Please provide the option to omit the Signup and Login buttons for shared links (downloadable).

    The presence of the Signup and Login buttons reduces the value of our Box.com account since the only way to circumvent the Box.com marketing fluff is to copy file from box to our CMS rather than just referencing our Box.com files. The existence of the Signup button both on the preview and pop-up that displays after clicking download results in calls to our support center from visitors to our website. The embed widget unfortunately doesn't improve the issue. Alternatively, if we could embed the Box…

  11. 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

  13. Allow admins to select multiple folders within Content Manager and bulk change permissions/ownership

    Our admins have had a large influx of personal accounts migrated to their managed service. In some cases people set up shared accounts that do not have a corresponding individual attached. They are trying to scoop up those folders and put them all into a subfolder that can be shared by the group.

  14. Ability to restict folder view to only show folders the user owns

    Allow ability to restrict folder view to ONLY those folders which the user owns. Either a separate view or something like a checkbox to enable/disable the restriction.

    For example, a user is leaving the company and wants to transfer ownership of their folders to another user. There is no easy way to see what folders you own. With hundreds of folders it could take a long time to find the ones you know to transfer them.

  16. Allow folders or files to show up in multiple places but be the same object

    This is a feature request.

    I notice that sometimes team members copy or upload the same document to multiple locations in the same workspace or within the same workspace. For example, there is a shared folder with multiple sub-folders within it. The same file may live within many of those sub-folders. These are all separate files, so if someone uploads a new version of that file somewhere else, the other files are an older copy of that file.

    The request would be to allow some way to show, or link to, a file that is elsewhere in…

  17. Avoid signed document shared link expiration notifications on internal-only sign requests

    Whenever a document sent via Box Sign is completed, all recipients receive an email containing a shared link to the document. This shared link expires 2 weeks later, generating a "this link is about to expire" for all of the same recipients. These notifications can be annoying, and moreover don't clearly state that it is a signed document link that is expiring (it is just a generic notification).

    Our company often sends documents for signature between internal recipients only, who can always access their documents by logging into Box and finding them in the My Requests section (or in their…

  20. Public Shared links - admin console ability to add password protection

    I think along with the capability of adding an overall expiration date to Public shared links within the admin console, the ability to enforce password protection or even a verification code would also help a lot in locking down the possibility of information getting into the wrong hands.
    So if i received the public link before opening it I somehow either have been provided a password or another idea you make the requester enter a mobile/email to send a once off pin code to allow them to access it.
    thanks
