  2. Additional Relay Approval options beyond Go to Outcome 1 and End the flow

    When using an approval task and sending a notification you are given two options, End the flow and Go to outcome 1. I'd like to be able to advise it to go to Outcome 2 or Outcome 3 of the workflow so things are more flexible in more complex workflows.

  3. Filter Box Signs by contract status ("In Progress", "Signed", or "Cancelled") from the column User Interface (more intuitive)

    Box Sign: Enable ability to filter by contract status ("In Progress", "Signed", or "Cancelled") from the column User Interface (more intuitive), rather than on the right side (less intuitive).

  4. Request for improvement of search function

    The search function is inconvenient and we would like to suggest improvements.
    There are two main points:

    ① Exact match impossible
    ・On the website, there is a statement that You can perform an exact match search by adding'' in the search field, but even if you do this, it will not result in an exact match. (For example, if you search for "Furusato", you will get hits for characters such as "fu" and "to")

    ⇒ Exact match search is not possible (search is performed based on characters)

    ② 10,000 byte search range limit (only the first 2 to 3…

  6. Ability to moderate/pre-validate comments

    Some files in Box have a very wide diffusion (All the company so about 1,5/2K people).

    We would like to moderate the comments.
    The function we want is a folder parameter stating that all comments on any file in this folder would be validated by the owner ou co-owner of the folder.

  7. Allow the "Folder" column to be expandable when adding/modifying managed users in BOX

    When adding users or modifying a managed user, the 'Folders' column when you are adding folders is not expandable. You also cannot really widen the Administration window for Users and Groups in the Admin console.

    1) Can we make the Users and Groups section in the admin console wider? Or just as wide as my browser window?

    2) Can you make the 'Folders' column when managing or editing a user expandable so I can see the folder full name?

  8. Have a better way to show 'Full File Paths' for 'subfolders' in the web-app

    Since people can be invited to folders that have the 'same name' it can be hard to identify in your 'All Files' view which folder is in which account.

    Since you don't want to accidentally drop files in a folder that is shared with people outside your organization or vice-versa, it would be helpful to have a better way to identify which folder is from which account / directory structure.

    For now the recommended guidance is to have the full file path of you directory structure in the sub folders so personnel can see which sub folders are from which…

  9. assign folder

    Where folder contents need to be updated from time-to-time, have ability to assign various people as assigned "Folder Manager” who are responsible for managing the contents for accuracy. Shoudl be viewable in the folders view (ability to set a new column). 1) Tags could work; 2) It seems column headers can not be changed; 3) metadata doesn't seem to work (especially for non-tech savvy people.

  10. Interval in metadata trigger

    Hi! Would it be possible to add the ability in Box Relay for the flow to be dependent on the interval between 2 values of numeric metadata?
    Now we only have options like "less than", "greater than", but it would be great if we could set the trigger dependance "from...to" like in the search filter

  11. Improve the use of Variable Strings in the JAVA SDK

    For customers who are leveraging an API gateway using Java SDK version 3.2.1 some URL prefix text strings are not dynamically adjusted.

    For example, when customers are downloading the file representation in it tries to call directly the box API URL like the following URL:

    https://api.box.com/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/

    Some customers may be leveraging a customer specific gateway, so they need to be able to dynamically change the URL where https://api.box.com/ is replaced with the gateway prefix like all the other calls:

    {{CUSTOMERGATEWAY}} /internalfiles/123/versions/345/representations/jpgthumb32x32

    There are a number of places where the prefix was not dynamic.

  12. Option to disable preview of PDFs on phone

    When I open PDF on iPhone it displays correctly but box preview seems to be ignoring multiply/darken layers and just display them without this. This causes white boxes and images being cut one from another.
    Option to disable preview would be nice. This is the folder https://app.box.com/s/qj947h7q0jri0r1hp3lm9dlo9zzjtu2z - first file displays badly on iPhone preview of the link

    Hi, 

    thank you for your feedback. This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. After reviewing the shared folder and files we can confirm that preview works fine now. 

    In case of any other questions feature requests or ideas please reach out to us.
    Cheers,

  13. Show file paths on "Error updating *** items..."

    If BoxDrive has some errors, it shows error on "Error updating *** items..." by clicking the gear icon.
    Then the error window says, "The original file was deleted on Box" on my environment.
    But it doesn't show the paths, but also filenames.
    So it would be very helpful if you could improve it to show the filenames and its path.

    Environment:
    macOS 13.6.7 (22G720)
    Box Drive 2.39.179

  14. Improve Sharing Sidebar UI

    In the Sharing Sidebar, how about moving "Shared Link" and "File Request" to the top and then using all that sidebar real estate down the right side to allow a longer list of permissions to be seen without having to click into the Collaborators menu? Will make reviewing/managing permissions by folder more efficient. Alternatively, instead of "+10 People, + 2 Groups," why not describe that menu: "Full Collaborator List" or something like that.

  15. Display TIFF Files without strict metadata validation

    TIFF generated across different business, internal and external streams are not consistent with the meta data validation. Some times, the file metadata claims the embedded JPEG uses 1x1 sampling (no subsampling, full resolution), but the actual JPEG data uses 2x1 horizontal chroma subsampling.

    In these cases strict validations causes failures to preview the TIFF images, converting millions of such images to PDFs is not scalable effort.

    BOX to provide a feature to ignore strict validation of the meta data.

  16. Leverage the External Identity providers like OKTA to securely access the Box API’s.

    Context : Allow box subscription tenants to leverage the External Identity providers like OKTA to securely access the Box API’s.

    Use case: Tenants like us want to centralize the access to the APIs to our external vendors partners and internal teams. It is always beneficial to centralize the access using OKTA like OAUTH 2.0 providers and move to zero trust.

  17. Request Link via API

    Scenario for Request Link via API: 1) Ticketing system support case requires the openee to upload files to the ticket 2) Use app to collect case number, authenticate user, create folder with case number 3) Set File upload link "Title", "Add Instructions" and "require users to provide email" 4) Get file upload link from API for pasting into the support ticket

  18. Allow option to restrict offline data by file type

    Allow us the option to prevent some files from downloading when a folder is made available offline based on file type.

    For instance, when traveling I may need access to PDFs for a job, but not need access or have space to sync a 2.5GB video file.

    Please allow us to restrict what files are synced by file type.

  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. the search option is so messed up now. I am spending so much time looking for the exact folder and files I need to locate

    The search option prior to 2 weeks ago was perfect. I am not sure what changed but My whole team is pending countless time on each search. please reset it to that prior setting. Or tell us how to do that. Why does all that other stuff show up before the folder with just what I am looking for?
