  2. 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。

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. I want to output all collaborated listings including subfolders.

    In the Collaboration Report, please add collaboration information that includes subfolders of the folder to which the user is invited.
    The existing feature only allows information on folders to which users are invited.

    Once this functionality is implemented, the administrator will be able to see all folders to which the user is collaborating, and will be able to create management reports seamlessly.

    and seamlessly generate management reports.

  6. 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

  7. Custom Identifiers that can be seen in user reports

    Customer Requests the ability to upload custom identifiers that can be seen when running user reports. Currently they use the user's email address to determine if a license is needed, and when a name change occurs, this creates confusion as it appears that the person may have left and the license is no longer needed.

  8. Reporting the monthly MAU usage for each application

    In the large enterprise, many customers charge the usage of Platform API call and MAU to the department, group company, subsidiary which owns Box Platform based custom application.

    But currently Box doesn't provide the report to know the usage of MAU per customer application. So I strongly request to add this to the existing report or add new report.

  9. 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.

  12. Co-admin permissions : report role has too many rights

    If a user has only the report co-admin role ("Run new reports and access existing reports") to let him create reports for him, he can see other things in the admin console :
    - Insights
    - Content
    - Reports (OK)
    - Platform (with the Create Sandbox button !)

    Is it possible to secure this, so he can only see the Reports part ?

  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. Expand Capabilities for Adding External Collaborators to Relay Tasks/Notifications

    Currently, a user can only add an external collaborator to a Relay Task/Notification if the following are true -

    • The user owns the content
    • The user has added the external collaborator to content
    • The user has to have less than 5,000 external collaborators on items they own

    Many customers have a closed folder structure, where one admin user owns all content, so this admin user would be the only one who can create the workflow with external collaborators added to tasks/notifications. For large organizations especially, this is difficult to administer and maintain, so ideally even users who do not…

  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. 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.

  18. Modifying Relay AllowList that includes deleted users

    If a user previously set in the Relay AllowList is deleted, the deleted user will remain in the list and the error "The specified login is inactive or invalid" happened when I try to save the list.
    Even if I click "Save" without editing anything, same error occurs.

    It is not possible to export the user s of Relay AllowList, and there is no choice but to check each account one by one and deal with it, so I request improvement.

  20. Creating a table of contents for files and folders for an end user

    For the end user to be able to create a table of contents report of a folder structure and share this report with others.

    BOX FOLDER NAME

    FIRST LEVEL FOLDER
    Subfolder
    Subfolder contents
    Subfolder contents
    Subfolder
    Subfolder contents
    Subfolder contents

    FIRST LEVEL FOLDER
    Subfolder
    Subfolder contents
    Subfolder contents

    Anyone who has access to the folder should be able to view the folder report and potentially update the report.
