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…

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.

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.

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.
4 votesThis 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.

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.

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.

Report about the use of shared links
It would be great to have a report that shows you the usage information of the shared links: How many times the link has been used, which user (if registered) has used it and on which date.

User-Level Sharing Controls: Control sharing permissions at the User level
This request is specific to controlling external sharing permissions and defaults at the user level. For example, an admin should be able to permit whether a user can generate Open Shared Links (e.g., disable open links per user), invite external collaborators, and the default shared link permission that is generated by that user, even if those users are within a folder that has external sharing enabled.
30 votesWe are currently focused on building groups for access to 1st and 3rd party apps and specific enterprise settings in Box rather than focusing on groups or individual users for sharing controls. Uservoice request here: pulse.box.com/admin/v3/suggestions/36670615
To achieve granular sharing controls, you can explore using Box Shield to classify sensitive content and set access policies to that content.

Locking Folder Names
We have systems integrating with folders on Box.com. These functions either provide workflow timestamps, or move files from folder to folder. In order for these integrations to work seamlessly, folders cannot be accidentally or purposely renamed.

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…

Add Attributes for Shared-links when using CLI
Currently, there is only the command shared-links:get. There are no attributes exposed when trying to access data from Powershell. However the attributes are available in the API specification.

Fix the error that appears when you try to create an account password after a shared folder requires a 'stronger' one. It is a loophole
When a shared folder requires a stronger password, consider a scenario where a user doesn't have any password set up. There is no 'old' password to put in. Attempts to create a password for the account end in 'There was a problem changing your password' message. So basically there is no way to access the protected shared files.

API that facilitates multiple folders creation
At present, we have the capability to create individual folders from salesforce. Is it possible for Box to offer us an API that facilitates multiple folders creation in one transaction?
