Forcing a page refresh when access is revoked
Currently within the webapp, if someone created a public link and scope of the link access changes from "People with the link" to either of the more restrictive options, the user can still view contents of the page despite getting an updated floating notification that says "Sorry, you no longer have access to this note."

Boolean search function to be applicable to tags
Would love to use my Box as a Digital Asset Manager but the tag system really needs a boolean search function.
Boolean searching is used to help find search results faster and with more precision. Boolean searching uses operators: words like AND, OR, and NOT.
We might have to take pour storage else where due the cost of having both a Box account and a DAM.

Tasks in relay are owned by Relay owner rather than workflow initiator
Currently tasks have owner and assignee. The owner is always relay owner, who gets notifications when there are any changes to the task which may not be ideal.
Allow for an option to have the task owner be the workflow initiator instead.

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 -
Ability to schedule outcomes in Relay relative to the trigger date
Rather than selecting a specific date for an event to occur, add the ability to schedule an outcome (e.g., send notification) on a date relative to the date the trigger occurs. For example, Trigger = file upload, Outcome = send notification 180 days after file upload.

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…

Reminders for past due tasks
Adding a Due Date to a task gives a visual within the notification email & the activity slider. Could we add logic to this date where it will send out a reminder as past due and/or change the assignee’s name to red?
5 votesThis suggestion has been delivered and is generally available (GA). Due date changes to red when a task is overdue, and assignees will receive email reminders that the task is outstanding.

Batch Email Notification for Policy Violation
If an admin uploads a folder of 10 documents to Box and each violates an upload policy, the end user will receive 10 email notifications. Our admin has asked that we batch these emails together if the violation happens within a certain time period.
0 votesThank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan to update notifications. We may look into this in the future.

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.

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.

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

Inbox icon should display the total number of outstanding notifications/tasks at any given time
Previously it would display "9+" if there were more than 9 of Notification/Tasks at any given time. Since the most recent update I've noticed that the number it displays for Tasks is incorrect if there are more than 9. This morning it had 42 showing, but after opening the Inbox a majority were just general notifications, so the number dropped to just 9, however, i have 12 tasks currently outstanding. Please fix this notification number back to displaying "9+" or, preferably, the true number of outstanding notifications/tasks present.

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.

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!
