  1. 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…

  4. 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

  5. Folders and Files reports - exclude filename

    Provide the ability to exclude filename from "Folders and Files" reports. We would like to be able to exclude this field since it may contain sensitive data. This is currently a field that is not able to be excluded. If there is a required field we would prefer if to be File ID. This is important since we would like to be able to perform usage analysis but do not want to provide sensitive data (even metadata) to our data analysts.

  7. 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…

  9. 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?

  10. We would like to have a setting to control the ability to create shared links in Box Drive.

    Currently, users can right-click on content in Box Drive and generate a shared link from the "Share" menu. We need a way to disable this functionality through administrative settings.

    When creating a shared link from the web, it is possible to confirm that the shared link has been created by an icon,, however, when creating a shared link from BoxDrive, no icon is displayed, making it impossible to know whether a shared link has been created. Therefore, we want to prohibit creating shared links from BoxDrive.

    in Japanese

    BoxDriveで共有リンクを作成できないように制御したい

    BoxDriveでコンテンツを右クリックし、メニューの「共有」から共有リンクを発行することができるが、これを制御する設定ができるようにしてほしい。

    Webから共有リンクを作成する場合は、アイコンによって共有リンクが作成されていることが確認できますが、BoxDriveから共有リンクを作成するとアイコンが表示されず、共有リンクが作成されているかどうかがわからないため、BoxDriveからの共有リンク作成を禁止したい。

  11. 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.

  12. "Lock" a folder taxonomy

    This allows a folder owner (or developer) to lock a folder taxonomy in place so that Editors can add and update documents but not create or rename folders.

  15. Create reports for Shield actions/tracking

    Create reporting for Shield activities, including the following:
    1) Classifications applied by their name (i.e. 'externalpublic used on 157 folders/files'). This would help determine popular and unpopular classifications.
    2) User who applied the classification label and each time they applied one (i.e. Person A applied shield classification labels on 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc). Helps see who is using the labels and how frequently.
    3) User and which label they applied (i.e. Person B applied the external
    public label on 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc.). Helps see a combo of the above two bullets.
    4) Number of times a shield…

  17. Limit the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders and specific user-owned content.

    When using metadata, it is important to gain the benefits of adding and managing metadata templates, but at present, anyone with authority can use any metadata template.
    You can manage your content more sophisticatedly by limiting the use of specific metadata templates to specific folders.
