1. invite sharing - save message

   When a collaboration invite has been accepted, the "<User> has accepted your invite" message should include the original invite message.

   This will remind me why I shared the file with the user and what the user was asked to do with this file.

3. Ability to manage all notifications settings at the user level

   Our team would love to only receive Box notifications via Teams.

   Currently, you cannot turn off some notifications to go to your email, like when someone tags you in a comment.

   We would like the ability to disable this manually. Some users would like to have both options.

4. 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?

   We 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!

5. Uploading files with exactly the same hash value on BoxDrive should not be recorded as a 'copy' in the user activity report

   If I upload a new file on Box Drive and then upload the same file (with the same hash value) again, the server copies the first uploaded file to reduce load and the user activity report records it as a copy. Even if these two file names are different!
   In this case, if I have a workflow triggered by 'upload' in Box Relay, the trigger may not work because the event is considered a copy.
   This behaviour is a limitation of the product specification, but I would like a fix so that it is treated as an upload.

   ■In Japanese
   Box Drive にてファイルを新規アップロード後に、同じファイル（ハッシュ値が同じファイル）を再度アップロードすると、負荷軽減のためにサーバー側で1回目のアップロードされたファイルをコピーする動作となり、ユーザーアクティビティレポートにはコピーして記録されます。たとえ2つのファイル名が異なっている場合でもそのような動きになります。
   この場合、BoxRelayで「アップロード」をトリガーにしたワークフローを組んでいると、イベントがコピーと見なされるので、トリガーが動作しないおそれがあります。
   この動作は製品の仕様上の制限となっていますが、アップロードとして扱われるように修正してほしいです。

6. 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.

   A true silent update is not currently planned. We have made some improvements to Box Drives update behavior by including silent updates when Box Drive is launching, if an update is already available. This improvement is in v2.3 for Mac and v2.3 for Windows.

8. relay assign workflow

   When a user leaves the company, the admin (or the user) should be able to assign his workflows to someone else. So far, the admin can only deactivate a workflow. We have cases where the relay workflow has 46 steps and if the owner leaves the company, the job is lost. It is a waste of time. As well, folder problems should be highlighted if the user is replaced, thus allowing either the assignment of permissions to the folder(s) or the ability to switch to new folder(s).

9. 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?

10. Checking last accessed date and user on folders

    Adding a feature where you are able to see the last time a certain folder was accessed along with the name of the person who accessed it. Similar to how it's done with google drive. This will help companies strengthen their security over data shared on Box Drive as this will allow them to keep track of who's accessing the files/folders. Especially when it comes to collaborators and shared links, you will be able to keep track of who has accessed these folders and when.

11. 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 file

    All 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.

14. Enable a Group Membership Admin role, which allows add/remove members of a Box group, without enabling modifications to the group.

    Dear Box Product Owner,
    This request proposes a new "Group Membership Admin" role within Box Groups to improve access control management, particularly for folders containing sensitive information, and to streamline compliance with regulatory requirements.

    Problem:
    Currently, Box Groups are a valuable tool for managing entitlements to folders, especially those containing highly sensitive content. Integrating Box Groups with IAM tools like SailPoint enables efficient access provisioning, access reviews, and adherence to FFIEC and other regulatory standards. By managing access through groups, we can ensure that all collaborators on sensitive folders are added via controlled group memberships.

    However, the existing "Group Admin" role grants broad permissions that are not always necessary or desirable for folder owners who simply need to manage group membership. Folder owners require the ability to add and remove members from a group to grant/revoke access to the sensitive information within their folders. Granting folder owners full "Group Admin" rights exposes the group to unintended modifications, such as changes to the group's folder associations, which compromises the integrity of the group's defined access scope. Maintaining a clear and consistent understanding of which groups have access to which folders is crucial for effective access reviews and overall security governance.

    Proposed Solution:
    We propose introducing a new role, tentatively named "Group Membership Admin," with the following limited capabilities:
    • Add Members to a Group: This function would allow the designated user to add new members to a specific Box Group.
    • Remove Members from a Group: This function would allow the designated user to remove existing members from a specific Box Group.

    This new role would explicitly exclude the ability to:
    • Modify the group's name or description.
    • Associate the group with new folders.
    • Remove the group's association with existing folders.
    • Delete the group.
    • Change other group settings beyond membership.

    Benefits:
    • Enhanced Security and Compliance: By limiting the scope of permissions, the "Group Membership Admin" role minimizes the risk of unintended changes to group configurations and ensures that access controls remain aligned with security policies and regulatory requirements.
    • Improved Access Management: Folder owners can efficiently manage access to sensitive content by controlling group membership directly, without requiring intervention from IT or security administrators.
    • Clearer Entitlement Definitions: Maintaining the integrity of group-to-folder associations ensures that access reviews are accurate and reliable, providing a clear understanding of who has access to what.
    • Streamlined Workflows: Delegating group membership management to folder owners empowers them to respond quickly to changing access needs, improving overall operational efficiency.

    In conclusion, the introduction of a "Group Membership Admin" role would significantly enhance our ability to manage access to sensitive information within Box, improve compliance with regulatory requirements, and streamline access management workflows. We believe this feature enhancement is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of our Box environment.

    Dear Box Product Owner,
    This request proposes a new "Group Membership Admin" role within Box Groups to improve access control management, particularly for folders containing sensitive information, and to streamline compliance with regulatory requirements.

15. Ability to show Full path from root to collaborated folder

    If i have a folder in the following structure
    /1/2/3
    and I invited User B to Folder 3
    When User B access Folder 3 he would have no idea that folder 3 is actually in the path /1/2/3.

    On Box platform however, there is an optional parameter "canviewpath",
    while this can only be used by the folder owner it adds to ability to let collaborator see the folder from root to target folder.

18. Make it more clear to a user when they invite a company domain that does not have a Box account

    Customers have mirrored their email groups (example would be a company-all-hands@company.com email list) to Box Groups. Their users typically type in the email address itself in order to attempt to collab the group onto content, but since the email address is not associated with a user, and we can't tie an email address to a Box Group, it sends a pending invite to that email address to create an account (which won't get created and doesn't work).

    The request: I suspect linking an email address to a Box Group is a non-starter from a product standpoint. Because of that, we came up with an ask to make it more apparent that when a user types in a company email into the share modal, it is more clear that they are inviting an email address with a company domain that is not associated with an existing Box account or group. If there could be more than just the 'External User' globe next to the email once you finish typing it in (like a popup message they need to click through) that would suffice for making it clear a user is inviting an email address without a Box account.

19. @'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.
