1. Automatically Transfer Content when Deleting a User

   Provide the ability to automatically transfer any owned content from a user, when deleting, to a consistent account (e.g., our Box Admin account), so that deprovisioning of licenses can be seamlessly done using AD groups. This will take out the scripting and automation on your customers side and ensure the security of the account.

3. 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

4. Get documents into and out of Box Notes from other formats

   My organization likes Box Notes for their online-collaboration support. But when we have existing documents, we can't get them into a Box Note. And if we want to get them out, we can't do that either.

   Add import and export support to Box Notes. I'd be delighted with Markdown, but my organization can work with just about any open format. Or publish your own proprietary format. XML or JSON, we don't care! Just make it possible to get documents into and out of Box Notes.

   Hi! We are looking into this feature and will let you know on our next steps.

5. 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.

6. Distinguish FTP and FTPS in User Activity Report

   would like a way to distinguish the difference between FTP and FTPS traffic.
   The “details” column in the user activity report only shows the connection to “Box FTP Server”,
   but it doesn’t specify which protocol or port was used.

8. 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.

9. 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 devices

   We 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 have seen an increased number of requests to enable OneDrive for users who need cloud storage. Our success is measured on user experience and the current box drive client is not helping!

10. API for "CRUD" for Box Relay and Box Relay Lite

    We have created over a hundred of Relay workflows and have currently faced a difficulty in adjusting all rules when our orgnization is changed. We would like to have a set of APIs for Relay for creation, reference, update and delete operations (so called CRUD).

    Also we would like to have an way to update folder ID(s) on existing workflows. It would help so much especially when annual org change happens.

11. 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?

12. Tansfer Form Ownership

    I would like the ability to transfer forms to other users. Reasons below:

    1. If employees are going on extended leave or parental leave and someone else is in charge of managing these forms.

    2. If initial set up is completed by an admin but then continually managed by another team.

    I am told form ownership transferring will be available only on deletion of a user account in a future release but would like it to not be reliant on the deletion of a user.

    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!

14. 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.

15. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.
