1. Add notifications to Box for EMM

   In the Box Web browser, I can confirm that the new mention is on the left side menu "notifications" with red ● when new notifications appear. We'd like to have those notifications within Box for EMM too.

2. Force removal of local copy of item which has been sync'ed

   One of our common workflows on Dropbox was

   • Move large file to the (Dropbox, now Box) folder
   • Wait for (Dropbox, now Box) to upload that content to the cloud storage
   • Right-click on the file and select an option to force it to "Online Only" mode, which would remove the local copy, freeing up the disk space

   It seems that there is no way to do that last bit with Box Drive, and there absolutely should be. For many folks, the premise of cloud storage is "get this off my local disk", and waiting until some random cache times out days later isn't a good, viable, option.

   Right now the only option seems to be the very-kludgy "log completely out of Box" (which is a broadsword solution to a problem that deserves a scalpel).

4. Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)

   [Background and Problem]
   A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.

   Below are our feature improvement requests.

   1. Multi-line Input Support
      We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.

   2. Increased Character Limit (Optional)
      We also have a comment from the customer regarding the character limit for the metadata field in Forms:
      "While 400 characters for Japanese is sufficient for basic needs, it would be even better if it were expanded to around 1,000 characters to allow for more detailed information and broaden its use."

   ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
   【背景と課題】
   現在、Microsoft ListsでFAQ管理を行っている顧客がBoxへの移行を検討しています。 この際、FAQの回答をメタデータに格納する計画ですが、Box Formsのメタデータ入力欄が単一行であるため、「これでは長文の回答が入力できず、実用的ではない」というフィードバックを受けました。

   以下、機能改善のリクエストです。

   1. 入力フィールドの複数行化
      メタデータ用のテキスト入力フィールドの高さを調整できる、または「ロングテキスト」フィールドと同じ形式をメタデータフィールドでも選択できるようにしてほしい。

   2. 入力文字数の拡張　※オプショナル
      Formsのメタデータフィールドに入力できる文字数に関しても、顧客からコメントをいただいております。
      「日本語で400文字あれば最低限の用途では問題ないが、より詳細な情報を記述できるよう、1000文字程度まで拡張されると活用の幅が広がり、さらに良い」

6. Ability to Disable or Choose email Notification when Inviting Collaborators

   We would like to have the option to email or not email a collaborator when sharing a content in Box. Example use case is when cleaning up Box permissions (group vs individual) and the Admin needs to do that seamlessly without bombarding he whole organization with Box invites to files/folders hey already have access to. Specially required for Internal collaborators.
   Providing access permissions does not always require an invite given the way Box works, the internal user will simply see the content when they access their Box Drive or he portal.

7. Real time alert if user accesses Box from a new location/device

   Currently we get a Daily Login Activity report. This is a daily report and most important piece of information on it is report of new logins with information like user, device, time, and IP address..

   Unfortunately this is daily and can only be on or off.

   Requesting the ability to enable real time notification instead of the daily.
   As it relates to security, immediate notification is critical for unauthorized access.

9. "Recents" feature - Feedback

   There is a box notification above "Updates" page that states the following:
   "Box has decided to end of life (EOL) the Updates feature on August 31, 2022. As an alternative to Updates, please use Recents to access content you have recently interacted with."

   As "Recents" feature does not offer any information about other users' interaction in shared files and folders (comments, uploads, views, etc) and, additionally, the notification system does not work for most of these instances (comments without tagging, uploading, etc) or does not work well enough (many times there is no notification or it is well delayed), this EOL decision will render group working on box shared files literally unbearable...

   Please reconsider or at least make more options for notifications, such that there is no loss of functionality.

10. Auto-notify collaborators when a file is uploaded to a folder

    The folder owner should be able to create an email notification for all subscribers to the folder to receive a notification when a new file is uploaded to Box.

    The email would be sent to the user's email on file for that Box folder. The user would not have to update his/her own settings. The folder owner would set notifications, and the user would have to turn them off if too frequent.

    The scenario is that a shared Box folder with <10 users. The users are generally infrequent users of Box, so do not proactively check on the folder frequently. A push notification (email) that something is updated will help an Admin significantly to manage the project and ensure that everyone knows the new data was uploaded.

    Thank you.

11. Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.（BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする）

    When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.

    (in Japanese)
    BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。
    検索結果から次々とファイルを確認するためには、再度BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示させねばならず操作が煩雑である。
    これをポップアップウインドウにし、閉じるボタンをクリックするまでは非表示にしないようにしたい。

12. If a managed user triggers IP CAPTCHA, send an email notification to the enterprise's admin.

    If a user triggers CAPTCHA on an IP address, it could potentially impact many users if our account is NATing our IPs to one external IP.

    Typically this is caused by an end user saving a bad set of credentials into some kind of client (FTP or WebDAV) that is constantly trying to reconnect.

    I will keep monitoring similar cases and prioritize once this becomes a high value request.

13. Add a BOX datastore to allow native search on Windows

    Box can only be searched with the box search window, ctrl+shift+alt+b which is a workflow downgrade because it is not possible to search in a file browser and also it is much slower.

    The solution is to provide Windows with a BOX data store and send notification to the indexer when files are synced or changed, then search service will take care of everything for you and we win!
    The benefit of this method is that you have full control over what you feed the indexer so there is no security risk. For example you can let only filenames for viewer permissions, filename + content for edit permissions.
    reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/search/-search-indexing-process-overview

    The extra benefit of such solution is that you can deprecate the search code, less code to maintain = happier coder = more time for things that make the customer happy.

14. @'ing box groups in comments

    Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
    I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.

    Thank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

17. 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。

18. Include a Disable Preview Option

    I've been using BOX for years and the only complaint is from my clients who download from my shared links. Almost 90% of users complain that they get the message
    "We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported."

    I understand from your viewpoint but from our viewpoint, we dont require such preview because our files are .zip, .rar, .7z, etc.

    So PLEASE enable some option where I can enable or disable the auto-preview.
    Remember, you guys are a cloud storage 1st solution. My clients should be able to download anything as simply as possible without getting confused about some auto preview not available or not supported.
