  1. Distinguish FTP and FTPS in User Activity Report

    would like a way to distinguish the difference between FTP and FTPS traffic.
    The “details” column in the user activity report only shows the connection to “Box FTP Server”,
    but it doesn’t specify which protocol or port was used.

  2. I want to select multiple users from the collaborator list and delete all the collaborators at once.

    I would like to add the ability to select multiple users from the collaborators list and delete collaborations in bulk.

    Currently, in the Box folder, you need to select the permissions of each user from the collaborators list and select one user at a time.
    Example: Editor → Delete

    This takes a lot of time when there are a lot of users, so we need a function to delete them all at once.

    If there are a lot of department transfers within the company, the folder administrator has to do this every month for security reasons for each …

  3. Box Reports User Details - Distinguish download to local disk vs. download using Box Drive

    Want a way to tell if the user downloaded it locally to their machine vs. just opening the doc via Box Drive/Office App/Box website. This feature would be extremely helpful to when a user is leaving the company and we want to know if they are “taking company docs”. Having “download” for simply opening and editing a doc is mis-leading. Would be super helpful to differentiate between the two.

  5. 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…

  6. When Deleting managed users 'Notify User' should be unchecked by default

    When we delete managed users this screen pops up confirming our request with an option to Notify user. By default it is checked off.

    Can we change that in our enterprise settings so that is unchecked by default?

  7. Enable Tasks in Box Notes

    Thank you for the feedback. Adding Tasks to Box Notes is functionality that we are actively researching, but is not currently on the roadmap. Please continue to submit feedback and use cases, and we’ll update if and when this becomes a priority.

  8. Enable a Group Membership Admin role, which allows add/remove members of a Box group, without enabling modifications to the group.

    Dear Box Product Owner,
    This request proposes a new "Group Membership Admin" role within Box Groups to improve access control management, particularly for folders containing sensitive information, and to streamline compliance with regulatory requirements.

    Problem:
    Currently, Box Groups are a valuable tool for managing entitlements to folders, especially those containing highly sensitive content. Integrating Box Groups with IAM tools like SailPoint enables efficient access provisioning, access reviews, and adherence to FFIEC and other regulatory standards. By managing access through groups, we can ensure that all collaborators on sensitive folders are added via controlled group memberships.

    However, the existing "Group Admin"…

  9. Create Doc Gen templates from PDF

    I have had multiple customers and partners ask for the capability to build Doc Gen templates from PDF documents (existing and non-existing). This is a capability that would help advance the adoption of our new offering.

  10. User activity report - files copied with 'save as' function

    Add a User Activity report File Management action to capture when a file has been saved as a copy with a different name (i.e. "Save as" from Box Edit).

  11. Ability to Name Scheduled Reports

    Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the…

  12. Ability to pin a folder to remain at the top of the main Box Web App screen.

    Either a user or an admin should be able to pin a folder.

    Using favorites is the current alternative, but for usability purposes and sharing important content, pinning would be helpful as well

  13. Add ability to query if a user is under Legal Hold via API

    Currently, Legal Hold objects have assignments, and if you get information about the assignments via the API you could see if a user was assigned to them.

    However, we want to access it from the user perspective - something like an islegalheld field on the user object.

  14. New Permission Type (Edit without User Download)

    It is not possible to allow a user to open in Office Online (or other apps) without the user also being able to download. Because Office Online relies on the permissions granted to the user to execute, i.e. it uses the user permission to download to get the file from Box, therefore the user must have the ability to download.

  15. Collaboration Whitelisting - Add Ability to Whitelist Specific External Users

    The Collaboration Whitelist feature is currently scoped to whitelist entire domains

    REQUEST: Take this current domain whitelisting a level deeper by only allowing certain users from a given domain to collaborate with ones own EID, aka introduce user-level external collaboration whitelisting controls to where a company can say "block all collaboration with all @acme.com users except for X @acme.com users"

  18. Zones assigned on folder instead of user

    Hi Team,
    I have a customer who is interested in folder level zones assignment instead of folder owner. They are currently using the service accounts for each zones and sharing the content that way but customer ideally wants it to be folder based (ie. one user to have folders associated with different zones since their lawyers work with content across multiple regions).

    Is there perhaps something coming to the roadmap?

  19. Ability to restrict target users who can be logged in login as user by admin and co-admin

    When investigating internal fraud, for example, the login as user function may be used to log in to the user under investigation. Currently, all users can log in if they have login as user privileges.

    For example, it is possible to access management user accounts and top secret information.
    Therefore, we would like to see a function implemented to limit the target users who can log in.
