Alert users to communication failures between box and Office Online
Three times in the last two months, we have lost hours of edits to box files made in PowerPoint Online. Box’s position is that this is a communication failure on the Microsoft side: box passed the file to Microsoft and Microsoft failed to pass the file back. The edits made are lost with no recovery possible.
Since Microsoft has published its auto-save frequency for all of its integration partners (see https://wopi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scenarios/coauth.html), could box implement a process to check for the auto-save in the window specified by Microsoft, and alert the end user if it’s not occurring? If box sees widespread failures, box could include it in the list of known issues on its website. Since box is not checking to see if files are auto-saving, it has no way of knowing when the issue is occurring as it did after a Microsoft break fix on July 23-24.
It would certainly seem that box is better equipped to do this than an end user who has no visibility into the communication between box and Microsoft or lack thereof.

"Smart Access: Download restriction" for G-Suite
We want "Smart Access: Download restriction" to control the download/printing capability of G-Suite apps. We want the integration just like office online which restrict download/print on office online apps.
For security perspective, we want to minimize the risk of data breach, so we are planning to store the confidential files on box and restrict the content to be downloaded to the devices. However currently if user opened the files on G-Suite, the files can be downloaded or printed.

When we open a PDF with the Box app (Box for EMM) on iPad, the Activity column appears on the right side of the screen.
When we open a PDF with the Box app (Box for EMM) on iPad, the Activity column appears on the right side of the screen.
It takes a lot of work to maximize this PDF, as you have to make one click each time.
We would like to prevent Activity from being displayed by default when previewing a PDF.If we use our iPad vertically, Activity will not be displayed, but it is assumed that we will use it horizontally.

Multilingual file requests
We need to be able to create file request forms in French and Spanish to send to folks who do not use English. While we can create some of the language in Spanish in designing the file request, all the instructions, help and error messages remain in English, which won't help our users.

Allow Shared folders to be owned by Domain ( vs user)
Similar to Google's Shared Drives, allowing admins to set ownership of a shared drive at the domain level vs user (human or service) would minimize the need for Service Accounts or changing ownership as users leave the company.

Slack Workflow Builder integration
I am creating workflow with "Slack workflow builder". And I want to output the file whose information is collected by the workflow to box.
Currently, "Google Sheets for Workflow Builder" can make it happens.https://mikanorg.slack.com/apps/A01AWGA48G6-google-sheets-for-workflow-builder

Add a RE-DO function to the UI
I accidentally covered a file (A) with another one (B) when I was UPLOADing (B). I want to re-do that step but I cannot find a way to do that.

I need your help to:
(1) Recover the file (A)
(2) Add a RE-DO function to the UIThank you.

Ability to reject group collaboration by individuals.
The user may be invited as a group to a folder that is of little relevance to him.
If we are invited to a folder as a group, we cannot remove the collaboration as only an individual.If we invite a group, but individuals within the group do not need to collaborate, please add a setting that allows us to de-collaborate (reject) only the relevant users.

該当するユーザーのみコラボレートを解除（拒否）する設定を追加してください。4 votes -
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?

Automated way to manage 2 Step verification for external collaborators
Provide API support to manage 2 Step verification settings for external collaborators .
Our use case is to "enable only for select domains/users". It is difficult to impossible to manage this for 1000's of external collaborators via the admin console. looking for an API support here to automate the process of managing the external user's 2 Step verification settings. The API should offer
1. Add external collaborator domain and specific email id to the 2 step verification
2. Query status given a domain or user email address
3. API to remove a given user / domain4 votes -

Some users want to protect all or part of the folders on Box Drive with Windows Information Protection (WIP) as a corporate area, but Box Drive do not currently have direct integration.

Shared Links Report
It would be nice to have options rather than just export as is. Similar to User Activity, the ability to at a minimum choose a start and end date would be extremely helpful. Currently, our report is not working. Having worked with Box support, they believe it is due to the size of the export. If this is the case, being able to limit the report timeframe, will help with the size. Thank you.

Box Relay: Action to move file to a folder named after Metadata attribute value
Currently, you can have a trigger based on a Metadata condition. We would like to be able to have the outcome File Action to move the file to a folder that is named based on this Metadata value.
For example, if there is a Metadata template with an Attribute called "Organization" with a possible value of "HR", then you could have a workflow to trigger when the metadata template is applied and the workflow outcome would move the file to a folder titled "HR".
For another example, you could use a metadata template containing a date field and then move the file to a folder named by the metadata year and month.
This could greatly enhance the functionality of metadata and workflows (relay).
With this "Move to Folder named by Metadata Value" action, you could create a file inbox where once a file in uploaded and the metadata template is applied, the file could be automatically filed in to a given folder structure.
