  1. User Activity Report - search by FILE ID

    Enable Box Admins, when creating a User Activity Report to search by FILE ID .

    Searching currently enables searches by file and folder NAME, and by FOLDER ID

    Without this, it is necessary to run a UAR for the folder(s) in which the File ID has resided

  2. Custom Columns (with sort) in Files List (Kind, Metadata, Access Stats, etc.)

    The webapp defaults to showing the user 3 columns - Name, Modified, and Size.

    This request is to allow the user to customize which columns are shown -- i.e., show me the Name, Size, and Metadata field X columns, but nothing else. Or show me the Name, Modified, and Access Stats (Previews) columns.

    Example columns to choose from:
    -Name
    -Size
    -Kind (File Type)
    -Access Stats (Preview, Download, etc.)
    -Metadata (specific template/field)
    -Created Date
    -Updated/Modified Date
    -Description
    etc.

  3. Sharing a Collection

    I understand that collections are meant to be a user specific setting, however, it would be great to have the ability to share a collection with a co-worker.

  4. Copy file from relay should version the target, not create a new file

    We have a release workflow, where documents are being copied to a shared environment after they have been approved. This works well for the first version of the document.

    However, if we change the document and send it through the approval process again, Box creates a new document at the target area. Box does NOT create a new version of the existing document.

    Since this process is really key to creating "Quality Managed" documentation, Box relay should offer to version an existing document. Defaulting to creating a new document, makes Box unusable for these kind of approvals.

    Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    Sometimes previewing large Video files is not counted as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    It should be counted.

  6. When an external user changes his/her email address from the original invitation, the invitation can be removed or put on hold

    We happened to be looking at the Collaboration List screen when we noticed that an external user had changed his primary email address.
    In addition, the User Activity Report does not log information about external users' primary email address changes.

    If this is not done, the user in question may not be considered for de-collaboration during the inventory of collaborator privileges that we conduct.
    The fact that users who are supposed to be deactivated remain collaborating is a security risk that cannot be overlooked.

    Please add the ability to immediately cancel or put the collaboration on hold if,…

  9. Allow users to click "Use Template" without automatically creating new documents

    When a user clicks "Use Template" - a new version of the document or documents are created regardless of whether a signature request is submitted or not. A user can use the edit template option if they simply want to view it, but there could be many reasons why a user would click "Use Template" and then need to cancel.

    The major issue is when clicking "Use Template", Box automatically creates new version of every document that is present in the template which quickly creates duplicate and content sprawl. My request is to make it so new documents are not…

  10. Target users for EMM mobile clients

    Currently if an organisation wishes to enable the Enterprise Mobility Management version of the mobile clients they have to enable it at a global level.

    We would like to be granular with this. We're a University and I want to enforce all staff users to use the EMM client but not students (their uni data is not considered "sensitive").

    Please can Box allow granular assigned of EMM users?

    In our use case we have just under 3,600 user who require EMM but 17,000 users do not.

  12. New role that can be changing other collaborator role but doesn't have right to do new invite.

    Would like to a user role that cannot add collaborators but can change the privileges of each collaborator who has already collaborated, it is not possible to invite new users, but a user who can change existing roles is possible.
    Allow more granular permission collaboration.

  13. Max_Upload_Size Field Needs a Box CLI Switch for User Record Updating

    Each user now has the maxuploadsize field in their user record, which designates the largest single file size that a user can upload. This setting can be viewed in the user's profile in the WebUI and is set as an Enterprise level setting.

    Just as the user's spaceamount (their quota) can be set via the Box CLI, using the --disk-space switch when updating a user's record, there is a need to be able to access a switch to set maxupload_size when updating individual user records via the Box CLI.

    This feature is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  16. I want the general user to be notified when an item is copied or moved and the process is complete.

     When an item is copied or moved, a message is displayed indicating that the move is complete, but when the target folder is checked, the process may not be complete.
     After moving or copying large data, the user may immediately see "copy completed" but the process is not actually completed, confusing the user.
     Currently, general users can only visually confirm that the process is complete, and the only way to confirm that the process is complete is to request a user with administrative privileges to output a user activity report.
     Therefore, we would like to see a function…

  17. Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)

    When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"

    REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.

    Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.
