  1. Folder level comments and tasks

    Being able to comment or assign a task on an entire folder would be easier than @mentioning a user on one file and referencing 3 or 4 other ones. It would be helpful to assign a task to someone on an entire folder (and not leave that sort of information in the folder description).

    We understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap. We will be exploring improvements and enhancements to Tasks in the next 1-2 years and will take this into consideration when we do.

  2. Unable to add a content to a Hub site due to folder settings and Enterprise settings

    When an user who is invited as editor to contents at folder level or file level tries to choose q folder or file to add a Hub site, those files and folders are grayed out and unable to choose.
    this is due to the invite is limited at enterprise setting or folder setting as below.

    / At Enterprise settings, Box amin checks "only the admin, fokder owner and co-owers can nvite collaborators"
    or
    /At folder settings, "only folder owenrs and co-owners can send collaborators invites" is checked

    This is bit strange because the user is editor, but it seems that…

  3. Do not show Box files tab automatically in every Microsoft Teams channel a user has access to

    By default, when a user connects a Box folder with a MS Teams channel using the Box plugin for the first time, suddenly a Box files tab appears in any Teams channel the user has access to (no maztter if the user is owner or just member). This happens to all stanard channels (private channels don't work with Box Teams Plugin)
    This is absolutely confusing, especially when using MS Teams in a company/enterprise. The box files tabs are not linked to any Box folder. They need to be removed manually everywhere.

    Can you please implement a control which prevents creating…

  4. Dashboard for end users

    Create an end-user accessible dashboard where users can see the status of their content and shared links. For example, they can see a running list of their shared links and be able to un-share these links via the dashboard; see a running list of externally shared content with external collaborators to see if they still need to be shared externally. In addition, the dashboard should include a high-level overview of these shared folders/files so they user can classify content from one place instead of by individual files/folders. The goal: give end users a better way to classify…

  7. Ability to conduct e-discovery investigations without being noticed by the User

    When investigating a lawsuit or security incident, we sometime want to do so without letting the target users know that he/she is under investigation.

    In such case, Box admin login to the target account 'as user' from admin console. But under current specification, the target user can know this admin's activities in the 'Access Stats' and Activities in Box UI.

    So I want Box to enhance the function that admin or co-admin can login as user and investigate without letting the target users know that he/she is under investigation.

  8. Ability for users to set sorting preference

    Box is not longer default showing files by file name. This requires resorting of files every time I open a folder, which is hundred of times a day.

    Please enable users to set the default sorting order for folders or restore the prior defaults

  10. Create a group of previously created groups aka nested groups

    We have a group of providers that we would like to make a larger super-group of the nested smaller groups instead of adding each individual user

  11. Uploading files with exactly the same hash value on BoxDrive should not be recorded as a 'copy' in the user activity report

    If I upload a new file on Box Drive and then upload the same file (with the same hash value) again, the server copies the first uploaded file to reduce load and the user activity report records it as a copy. Even if these two file names are different!
    In this case, if I have a workflow triggered by 'upload' in Box Relay, the trigger may not work because the event is considered a copy.
    This behaviour is a limitation of the product specification, but I would like a fix so that it is treated as an upload.

  12. Real time alert if user accesses Box from a new location/device

    Currently we get a Daily Login Activity report. This is a daily report and most important piece of information on it is report of new logins with information like user, device, time, and IP address..

    Unfortunately this is daily and can only be on or off.

    Requesting the ability to enable real time notification instead of the daily.
    As it relates to security, immediate notification is critical for unauthorized access.

  13. Box Sign requests default "my requests" folder

    Box Sign requests default to save into a "my requests" folder for all users. We don't always need the sign request saved into our regular Box folder structure and having a separate place for each user to send their requests to would be more beneficial.

  14. Create a simple Self-Sign feature in Box Sign for rapid single signature by user

    Allow for a simple self-signature type option on Box Sign. This would allow someone to simply click on a file, choose "Apply my signature" from a menu, and let the Box Sign engine perform the process of allowing the user's signature and completion. The signed version and log will be kept in the working folder where original file exists. Please allow other users after the fact to also sign a "Signed Document" by appending to the process.

  15. MS Office @ mentions to sync and notify users

    @ mention comments, tags and notifications section in Microsoft Office apps, should also integrate with Box interface and notifications. Great achievement with co-authoring, however, it is highly inconvenient to have to comment on Box preview, and then open the file to work/edit. Ideally users need to be able to @ mention and tag other colleagues/users within the MS application, which should notify other users to take action on the required document. Otherwise it creates duplication of work/inefficiencies in the process.

  16. Add permission to grant user access to see (list) of folders and files but not preview any content within the files.

    This would provide awareness to the user that a file exists and they can then request preview (or other) access from the owner/co-owner.

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the future roadmap. We are currently focused on improving our user interface and key flows of user management before we add features around bulk group management.

  18. Ability to configure Microsoft Teams Chat Files to exclude external user

    We would like to be able to set it so that external users are not invited to Microsoft Teams Chat Files.
    Currently, there is no way to prevent this from happening in the chat settings on the Teams side.
    In addition, it is possible to invite external users on Box. 

    (In Japanese)
    Microsoft Teams Chat Filesに外部ユーザーが招待されないように設定できるようにしてほしい。
    現状ではTeamsのチャット設定で防くしかない上にBox上では外部ユーザーを招待できてしまうため。

  20. Restrict users to only use Sign templates i.e. not be able to send ad-hoc requests
