  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder

    I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.

    When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
    1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
    2."Invited users only"

    Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
    1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
    2."Company users", "Invited users only"
    3."Invited users only"

    If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you…

  4. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. Help me find all the folders on my Box Drive that I have set to Offline.

    I set some folders of images, PDFs and other assets I use a lot to 'Offline' in Box Drive, also for projects I'm working on. However, over time this means a lot of syncing to my drive or for security reasons I want to put everything to Online. I'd love a way to search for all folders that are set to Offline so I can set all or some back to Online. As an alternative, one button in Box Drive that puts all Offline folders back to Online so I know I'm 100% in the cloud again.

  8. Expand number of folders displayed in folder hierarchy

    Our team works in incredibly deep folder structures and would appreciate the opportunity to view all subfolders in the folder hierarchy to more easily navigate through our folder structure. For example, if someone shares a file with me and it's in the "trailers" folder, it's very difficult for me to tell which project this is associated with unless I navigate many levels up in the folder structure to see a folder with the project name. Ideally, we would be able to see as many folders as can fit in the window space. Our team uses the Box web app…

  11. Make external folders more obvious in Box Drive and Box Web

    Currently internal and external folders are comingled in Box. Although collections can help organise data in the web app, for those who predominantly use Box Drive this could potentially lead to a DLP issue, particularly where the internal and external folders have nearly identical names. In both Box Drive and Box Web it would be great to be able to choose your own colour coding for these folders e.g. anything external showing red, or the ability to group all of your external folders under one main EXTERNAL folder.

  12. 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…

  13. Add functionality to view all folders set to "Make available offline"

    I would love to be able to see which folders are currently set to "make available offline". I need free up space regularly.

    Or a feature to see how much space box is taking up on my machine and what folders are using the space. Similar to storage on a Mac.

  15. Remember sort order for a folder

    Remember the sort order chosen for a folder, whether by date or by name. Some folders will always need to be sorted one way or the other - currently have to re-sort multiple times a day when going back and forth between folders.

  16. API to sync folders for users.

    If we could sync folders directly through our internal web app it would cut several steps out of user workflows. I would love to put a sync slider next to the job line so they could sync directly from this screen.

    Specifically, I am talking about leveraging the tools via APIs. So having an API we could leverage to sync folders down for users.

    This request cannot practically be implemented as an API. A client needs to control the state of local items on an endpoint such as a user’s computer, much like the Box Drive or Box Mobile clients do today. The only planned supported means for such synchronization capabilities are the Box Drive and Mobile clients.

  17. Bulk extend collaboration/shared link expiration

    User would like to be able to extend access at a folder level rather than one at a time.

  18. Indicate when a file has been shared by me

    Indicate when a file has been shared by me. This used to be a feature (an icon would appear next to the file) that I relied on because I don't always remember if I've shared the file or not. Now I may send a certain file more than once to a particular person not remembering that I already sent it.

  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
