permanently purge file version history
Hello,
We have a use case that we use box as a temporary storage location in a workflow. But once the workflow is finished, we would like to purge the information but "keep" the same boxfileid. We thought by deleting the version history, we would have achieved this. But it turns out the deleted version history is restorable.
I am wondering if it is possible to
(1) optionally make a file "not" able to store version history
(2) or optionally permanently delete a version5 votes -
People who reassign should still receive emails about that document
My workflow requires me to send documents on to agents, who review documents before sending on to their clients to sign (via 'reassign').
After reassigning, the agent no longer receives information about the document. This seems counterintuitive, and isn't in line with other online document signature services. I can't think of a reason why you would need to be removed from the email chain like this. If you no longer need to know about the document, you can simply ignore the final email about its completion, but if you do, currently you would have to rely on someone still in…

Use Box as governance layer for content outside Box
Ability for Box to function as federated content viewer (governance) - as some content will remain outside Box. Use Box as governance layer but not storage element.
4 votesWe do not plan to enable Box Governance as the federated policy layer across multiple systems at this time. However, it is possible to use the Governance APIs to enact this if you have another federating system.

Invite users to file request
We would like to inform our users that we have created a file request area for them. As soon as we create a file request we would like to be able to send a number of users a notification that they should upload their files there.
Currently we have to manually copy the URL into an email to inform people, which breaks the flow. We would like the same functionality we see when creating shared links.

Box for Microsoft Office co-authoring permissions per folder
I propose the ability to change the setting for each folder regarding whether or not Box co-authorship is enabled.
With the current Box for office co-authoring feature, all folders have the coauthoring feature turned on.
I would like to have a switch so that some folders are on and some are off.Boxの共著の可否について、フォルダ毎に設定を変更する機能を提案します。
現在のBox for officeの共著機能では、全てのフォルダが共著機能がオンになってしまいます。
あるフォルダはオン、あるフォルダはオフというように、スイッチをつけてほしい。14 votes -
Notifications not sent when Viewer downloads watermarked file
Notifications do not get sent when a Viewer downloads a watermarked file.
I understand that the notification engine is getting replaced/upgraded, and I hope this gets fixed in the next generation.This function is important to Enterprise users trying to keep track of downloads by low-permissions users.

Password Change Prompt on Mobile Login
If an end user must reset their password (either mandated by admin or enterprise settings), we would like that notification to appear when the user tries to log in on the mobile app
We would also like a notification when the password is going to expire (i.e., your password will expire in 7 days)
2 votesWe will re-evaluate this request based on additional customer demand.

Read Enterprise Settings using API
Is there a way to read Enterprise Settings using API? That would be much beneficial where the Admin can choose certain settings like Storage and there wont be a necessity to change the Code every time the Admin wants to change the settings. The API can read the existing settings and manage users based on those configurations. Currently, the application that manages Box accounts has to store those locally and every time there is a change in those settings, that calls for a Change management and code deployment.

Ability to suppress the sending of email notifications of Collaboration invitation acceptances
We would like to set up the following notification emails so that we do not receive notifications from users within the company,
as they are confused with notifications from users of other companies.
Therefore, we would like to see the ability to suppress the sending of email notifications per collaborator's email domain.
・Collaboration invitation acceptances
下記の通知メールについては、他社のユーザーからの通知と紛れてしまうため、
社内のユーザーからの通知を受け取らないような設定を行いたい。
そのため、共有相手のメールドメイン単位で送信を抑制できるよう機能を追加して欲しい。・コラボレーションの招待の承諾メール通知

Increase size of file allowed to be opened online
We have several large Excel files (example: one that is 16.6 MB) that don't allow for editing/collaboration using Box online. In order to edit it, our team has to take turns: open it in MS Excel and each of us work on the doc one a time. Please allow for larger files to be opened on Excel online since collaboration is one of the hallmarks of using Box for file storage!

Disable notification triggered by integration or specific collaborator
We are using Druva to back-up the data. But Druva downloads all the data and triggers large amounts of email notifications. We want the ability to disable the notifications for actions triggered by the integration

Change email in deletion notification to users.
We would like to include a different email in the deletion notifications to users than the default of including the admin email.
0 votesThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

Bulk Add Users with customizable columns/fields
We would like to have the ability to add custom fields when bulk uploading new users.
For Example (columns): Groups, Storage, Restrict external collaboration, Cost Center, Employee Number.
1 voteThis suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the user interface and performance before we add customizations to bulk add.

Feature Request: Add File Size Sorting Option to Box Search Results
Currently, Box's search results page does not offer the ability to sort results by file size. Users have a need to sort search results by file size, particularly for identifying large files or managing storage. We request the addition of a "File Size (ascending/descending)" sorting option to the search results page.

MS Office @ mentions to sync and notify users
@ mention comments, tags and notifications section in Microsoft Office apps, should also integrate with Box interface and notifications. Great achievement with co-authoring, however, it is highly inconvenient to have to comment on Box preview, and then open the file to work/edit. Ideally users need to be able to @ mention and tag other colleagues/users within the MS application, which should notify other users to take action on the required document. Otherwise it creates duplication of work/inefficiencies in the process.

Notifications sent on a specific date through Relay
We have files that need to be moved/copied on a specific date. It would be helpful if it were possible to use relay or comment to send a notification that a file needs to be moved or copied when the date is reached.

Popup
After I edit a file, a green notification popup is displayed telling me I just edited the file. This popup follows me around and prohibits me from clicking links (edit file e.g.) until I close it. While somewhat minor, it is rather annoying to have to close each popup notification, when moving about and editing multiple files. Thanks.
