Run a report which shows the users last log in date.
Currently, admins can run user statistics report but this does not show an exact date. Admins can run a user activity report, but this will return repeated users log in rather than last login.

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.

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"
19 votesNo plans at this time to make this more granular – while we’re interested in this one, to make this feature work well there is a decent amount of UI complexity to sort through on both the admin and end-user side.

Block root shared folder renaming
I found it very disappointing when every user with editor's permissions can rename (and probably even delete) root folders. This is the absolutely most typical scenario with shared folders, and everything from cheapest NAS to Azure Sharepoint can prevent renaming (or worse deleting) root folders.
I really miss the typical R/W user - Editor without permissions to delete/rename the root folder.

Seamless Sign On - Box Drive
Like OneDrive, we want the ability for the box drive client to seamlessly sign into box without any user integration at login. This will benefit;
- VDI users
- Hot desk users
- Students (e.g. lab machines)
- First time logon for staff allocated devicesWe understand this won't work for everybody but we to SSO to box via Azure AD and all of our 7,500 managed devices are joined to both on-premises AD and Azure AD. In fact we're starting have a slow migration to pure Azure AD.
This has stopped any large scale rollout and we…

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.2 votes -
disable certain user from viewing a folder without affecting parent folder access permission to an user in BOX
companies sometime have sensitive folder that only certain people should have access but need to be under a project folder which many other users for organizational reasons.
sadly box on the web doesn't have the basic function of disabling Inherited Permissions from the parent folder so we can decide who can see the content from a specific folder

Only allow users to set shared link expiration up to the Enterprise setting limit
When setting up a shared link in Box, we want the user to be able to set the expiration up to the Enterprise setting, but not beyond the Enterprise setting.
A shared link with a shorter expiration time is more secure but less convenient. The security level varies depending on the content, so it would be desirable for users to be able to set an expiration date below the Enterprise setting.
Managed users set expiration dates beyond their Enterprise settings, allowing content to be accessed for unintended periods of time.

Box Relay variable support
Could we have a variable for approvers Instead of harcoding them to a relay?
For example, if a document contained a metadata field for approver and it was populated with a user, could we use that metadata as a variable for the approval step of the relay workflow?

Admin Console insights for Daily Active Users, Monthly Active Users and Power Users
We would like to see insights for users in Admin Console like the Box Customer Success Manager visualizes. For example,
- Monthly/Quarterly/Daily/Weekly User Active User
- % of Monthly/Quarterly/Daily/Weekly User Active User versus Deployed Users
- Who are Power Users3 votes -
Notification when someone is editing a file
Since we don't have an option to check-in/check-out of files, can you add a feature like Dropbox's badge which alerts a user when someone else is editing a file so we prevent any simultaneous version history/editing issues?
58 votesWe have launched the capability to coauthor Office, iWork and Google Workspace files from Box Drive. Coauthoring documents will provide indication on the users who are actively editing the document.
We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap for other file types.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

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.

Box Drive install to be shown as "Box Drive" instead of "Box"
Our user believes that labeling the installation more explicitly as Box Drive, instead of Box, will be more clear.

I want to output all collaborated listings including subfolders.
In the Collaboration Report, please add collaboration information that includes subfolders of the folder to which the user is invited.
The existing feature only allows information on folders to which users are invited.Once this functionality is implemented, the administrator will be able to see all folders to which the user is collaborating, and will be able to create management reports seamlessly.
and seamlessly generate management reports.

Add an exportable report for External Users

Add Linux to Web app QA process
The web app UX is horrible on Linux. It's not just one bug, but dozens of bugs that affect Linux and ChromeOS users.
Examples:
- Downloading a Docx will prompt you to open with Word instead
- Clicking Open will prompt you to install Box Tools
- Clicking install Box Tools will download an EXE fileAll of these are completely irrelevant and an annoying hurdle for Linux users. Box Tools for linux doesn't exist. Linux Users can't run EXE files. Open With Word doesn't make ANY sense, as Word doesn't exist for Linux.
Please fix.
53 votesThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we do not have plans to add support for Linux to the web app at this time. We’ll continue to monitor this thread to gauge interest, and will post updates should our plans change in the future.

Extend classification posture to manage collaboration invites
Based on the classification of content, change the ability to invite collaborators, and automatically remove pre-existing collaborators if they exist and should not.
7 votesShield provides classification based external collaboration restriction. If you select to apply this restriction to both existing and new external collab, existing external collaborators will not be able to access the content they were previously invited to.
