  1. Users who have permission to output reports should be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights

    Under the current specification, only administrators or authorized co-administrators can select the "target folders and files" when outputting the User Activity Report.
    For the sake of business efficiency, I would like to see users who have permission to output reports be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights.

    現在の仕様では、ユーザーアクティビティレポートを出力の際管理者または、権限の付与された共同管理者のみ「対象のフォルダとファイル」が選択可能です。
    これをレポート出力権限を持っているユーザーは、業務効率上、自分のアクセス権がある範囲の中で「対象のフォルダとファイル」を選択できるようにしてほしい。

  2. Open files from favorites

    I'd like to be able to open a file directly from the favorites. That way, I avoid a preview (and its access stats by the way). If the file is not locked then it is opened in my local app. That would be really helpful.

  3. Add ability to remove shared content from the All Files page

    One of the complaints we've heard from our users is the inability to move shared content to a location other than their All Files page. For users with a lot of shared content this creates folder sprawl. With the new Collections feature we had hoped this would be possible as Collections can be accessed via the left pane.

  4. Provide total number of files in Account info

    Currently if you go to Admin Console > ent settings > account info, we can see total storage space used in the Box instance. Can you add total # of files in the enterprise?

    not planned  ·  Nick Lee responded

    This is not planned for our current roadmap. We will let you know if anything changes.

  5. Add a 'description' for folder and files at the top of the page, just below the folder/file name.

    A description of the folder at the top of the page will save time for our users, stakeholders and team members. It can be used as a way to describe what a user can expect to find in a given folder; and if this option extends in all sub-folders and files, it can help save a lot of time, bandwidth, and storage.

    The following format example will work well:

    Account name > Project name > Research files

    In this folder, you will find data about the project research and all the research files that are available. For any information…

  6. UI enhancements for easy viewing of pdf files on iPhone & iPod

    When displaying pdf files using the Box App on iPhone & iPod, after scrolling to view the top of the file, the app seems to take control over the display and auto-scrolls the file upward causing the top of the file to be outside of the screen. Is there any way to correct this? Thank you! 8-)

  7. display order of files/folders in the browser version of Box

    Since the display order of files/folders in the browser version of Box is dynamically changed in the order of new and updated, it is often difficult to find files/folders, so I would like to change the display order like Windows Explorer.

  8. Report / Customizable dashboard for a workflow

    I would like to get an overall view of my workflow and which files are at which stages, including:
    - How many files are in Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc.
    - How many files have completed
    - How many files were denied (or stopped in process)

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  10. please do not discontinue Box sync!!! the ability to search for files offline is too previous to loose!

  11. Allow "plain text" toggle on preview pane for all small files

    Right now, the preview pane on the site will refuse to display plain text files unless the file extension is one of a short list of types. However, there's no good reason why this files can't be displayed. There's no need to try to syntax-highlight the files, just display the contents.

    Since the site won't necessarily know if a file with an obscure extension is a plain text file or not, all files below a certain reasonable length in bytes should have a toggle checkbox in the preview pane ("Display raw contents" or something) that would force the file…

  12. Dynamically name signed documents based on metadata: signer's full name, company, email and others

    When there are documents in the same folder or templates that are repeatably signed with the same name (Ready Sign Link, Batch Send), Box Sign adds a number and () to the filename to note the different/unique files.

    There needs to be a better way to name the files - perhaps using metadata or using the unique id of the sign request. And then all files - signed docs and signed log would be renamed with the same name. Otherwise it's very hard to tell files apart when they all have the same name with just a number and…

  14. Allow use of signature and initial image files for GXP part 11 compliant signatures

    Could you please allow the use of signature image files when signing under GXP part 11 compliant conditions? As currently configured, only "fake" machine-generated signatures are given as options. Since the Part 11 compliance is conveyed by the coding, the selection of an actual signature image - as allowed for non-Part 11 compliant signatures (and initials) - should be an option. Thanks.

  16. Configure file uploading for .extension files

    Box synchronization issue comes if file name is started from .extension. Same thing works fine during manual uploading process. A provision should be added to configure the filter settings to upload during file synchronization.

  18. Requesting notification of email address of who downloads song files.

    We send out email blasts to our subscribers and include links to music we license. We receive a notification that someone downloads the song files. But it does not say who? Is there a way to retrieve the email address of the person that downloads files from our box account?

  19. Mirror files in one location to another

    Add the ability to mirror files from one location to another. If we have /Investment/Deals/financialReport.xlsx we want to have the option to mirror it to another location such as /Investment/Investor Profiles/Axel Pina/financialreport.xlsx.

    The feature should include the file's versions. If the file is edited in location one, it should be reflected on location 2.

  20. Save Signed Box Sign documents back to Salesforce.com Files object

    Box Sign has an integration for Salesforce.com but it really does not save much real effort because the integration is not complete. Box Sign really needs to integrate with Salesforce's Files object as Salesforce.com is the system of record and therefore needs the file Signed version of documents.

    In an ideal world, Box would be able to both pull documents from the Files object and save the Signed Document back to the Files object in Salesforce.com (but while you are at it, you might as well make it configurable to Documents, Files, or other file repositories in Salesforce). Otherwise…
