  1. Better information on Alert Information for Location Detection Rules

    Please add the country below the IP on a Shield Alert Email for Allowed countries Detection rules notification. This keeps us from having to log into box to see what country the violation occurred in..

  2. (Android) Usage of Android App Bundles

    This would reduce the installation size of Box by a significant amount on Android devices. I personally suffer from inadequate storage space, so this would be extremely useful for users like me.

    Here is a relevant link: https://developer.android.com/platform/technology/app-bundle

  3. Ability to check when user's password will be expired on their end

    Currently users have no way to know when user's password will be expired on their end.
    And then, Box doesn't send any notification to users in advance, so it likely lead to expire user's password.

  4. Instead of stalling/killing workflow when file to be moved is still open, pause and send notifications to close file

    Workflows currently stall (=die) if a file is meant to be moved following a task assignment, where the assignee edits the file and "Marks as complete" without having closed the file's tab. This can happen quite commonly: a user is asked to input edits into a file, so they open the file in the relevant Office online app (eg Excel online), and when they're done editing, if they forget to close the Excel online tab in their browser before going back to the BOX preview tab where they click on "Mark as Complete", then the workflow stalls. It would be…

  5. Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request, or to change the sender email

    Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request. Sometimes the client doesn't recognize the admin person sending the sign request and refuses to sign. It would help to be able to CC their sales rep so the request looks more legitimate.

    Alternatively, I'd like the ability to change who the Box Sign email comes from, so the email notification requesting signature can appear to come from the client's sales rep instead of the admin setting up the signature.

  6. Customize frequency of task email notifications

    Currently there are 3 emails when assigning a task.
    -First email is when the task is assigned
    -Second email is a reminder that the task is due (one day before)
    -Third email is a reminder that the task is past due (one day after)

    I'd like to have the ability in the admin console to customize the frequency of these notifications. For example, I would like to send a reminder twice before the task is due (two days and one day before). Additionally, once the task is past due, send a reminder email every X amount of days until…

  7. Expired Shared Link Notification to Owner

    Today, if I click on an expired shared link I cannot access the file. Ideally, I'd like the content owner to be notified if I click on the expired shared link so that they know that I'm trying to access it/can make it available to me.

  8. Allow Web-Sorting by Author’s Last Date Modified

    Ours are legal documents and their Last Date Modified (by us, or by an author. NOT the date uploaded to Box) is a critical date. Some dates are many years old, created long before being uploaded to Box.

    It's used in locating a single file among thousands. Do you seriously propose that our collaborators open the Properties of each file (among many hundreds) to see the Properties of each so as to locate the one file they need? What a terrible waste of Users’ time.

    The date we moved a paper file from one office desk or filing drawer (or…

  10. offline files and selective sync

    I would like to see the ability to mark files and folders for local or offline storage. Currently box drive allows for only the folder to be marked offline or downloaded locally. When I don't need to have a file downloaded anymore there is not a way for me to mark them offline. I have tried marking the folder offline but that doesn't work to make the files I want offline. Additionally, this would cause all files that I do want locally to become offline. Dropbox currently has the ability to selectively sync the files and or folders that…

  11. Request for Early Improvement of Upload Speed for Large Files in BoxZones Environment (excluding the United States).

    While improvements have been made in the past regarding upload speed in the NonZones environment, these improvements have not yet been implemented in the Zones environment.

    There is no significant difference for small to medium-sized files, but there is a noticeable difference for large files of 1GB or more, with a roughly threefold gap observed in multiple upload speed measurements.

    As employees regularly upload large-sized drawings, photos, videos, and other data in their daily tasks, this disparity leads to missed opportunities and decreased productivity.

    Particularly, when transitioning from the NonZones environment to the Zones environment, it results in a deteriorated user…

  12. Email Notification for moved folders incorrect

    We are seeing situation where a email message is generated indicating a folder has been deleted when a collaborator moves it out of the Owner's folder. The email contains a link to the owner's trash folder that results in an error message if you try to follow it.

    Here is the setup.
    User A - Creates a folder that contains sub-folders and files.
    User A - Invites User B as an Editor on the root folder.
    User B - Moves one of the sub-folder in the shared folder to another location in their own Box account.
    User A - Receives…

  13. Daily reminders on uncompleted tasks for Approvers in box relay

    Would like to have a function to notify the Approver for uncompleted tasks in box relay on a daily bases. A popup when opening box of the web would also do.

    When the Approver of a task is extremely busy, the current email notification is not enough, therefore would like to have an automatic reminder on a daily bases on pending approval tasks.

  14. Add text notification that "Create Password" link will expire in 48 hours.

    It is not uncommon to let an email sit for a few days or come back to it.

    We are suggesting adding a comment on under that link notifying users that they should set that password now, since it'll expire.

    This could drive quicker action with all users and less work on Admins who need to resend.

  15. 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.

  16. Box Updates Daily Report

    The idea is, instead of getting a flood of emails or notifications throughout the day to rather get a summary of everything that was changed in the day or "A Daily Report." This could also be a weekly report for users who do not want updates throughout the week flooding the email.

    This makes it so all the notifications can still be received by each individual without causing issues of too many emails.

  17. Canvas feature improvements

    After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:

    1. Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.
    2. Allow links/ bookmark to files within box within a text box.
    3. Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
    4. Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
    5. Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side…

  18. Avoid signed document shared link expiration notifications on internal-only sign requests

    Whenever a document sent via Box Sign is completed, all recipients receive an email containing a shared link to the document. This shared link expires 2 weeks later, generating a "this link is about to expire" for all of the same recipients. These notifications can be annoying, and moreover don't clearly state that it is a signed document link that is expiring (it is just a generic notification).

    Our company often sends documents for signature between internal recipients only, who can always access their documents by logging into Box and finding them in the My Requests section (or…

  19. Ability to Dismiss Error Messages Not Just Retry

    Error messages show up every morning and there is no way to clear them other than to Retry them. They are legitimate errors where the solution was to do something different, which I did, and my initial issue was resolved. However, these error messages persist, and retrying them will always produce the same error. There is no “dismiss” option. Since retrying them will will always produce the same error, there is no way to get rid of these errors.

    Box Support documentation gives no other option but to Retry. There is nothing listed about clearing messages that cannot be resolved…

  20. Comments / Tasks from Desktop (Box Drive)

    In order to currently leave a comment on a file we have to right click on it, click on view on Box drive, which opens chrome, loads the file, then click on the comment icon on the right and then leave our comment

    A quicker and much simpler way of doing this would be to bring in comments and tasks into the box drive app to save us all of those steps of having to do this through our browser. There are a couple ways of doing this

    1) Bring in notifications, tasks and a comment stream into the…
