  1. We want to be able to filter by specific metadata template and attribute value at user activity.

    We want to be able to filter by specific metadata template and attribute value at user activity.

    By setting the metadata that means the confidential level to the folder and assigning the metadata in cascade, we can track the subsequent access status of the objects placed under the target folder.
    By tracking the activity of files with specific metadata (such as sensitivity level), we can detect data usage and security issues.
    By using such a method, we can detect security problems that could not be detected in the past, such as image data that is difficult to detect with DLP.

  3. 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…

  5. Box sidebar root level folder filter

  6. Box Tools: Change Cache location

    Ability to customise the location of Box Tools folder

    We would like to have the feature to customise the location of Box Tools folders such as logs and cache folder. We want to have those under drive of other volume letter instead of the default location under C drive. This is because the storage size of C drive can be limited.

  7. Ability to send Shield alerts to a Pager Duty email address for email integration.

    It looks like I'm only able to notify users who are Shield co-admins whenever an alert is created. I would like to send alerts to a Pager Duty email address for email integration.

    I would like to avoid creating a separate user for the purposes forwarding emails to pager duty. I would also like to avoid creating a forwarding rule on my own inbox.

    Is it possible to send Shield alert notifications directly to non-user email addresses? If not, is this something the Box team is working on or can consider implementing?

  8. Move "Trash" UI button away from "Upload New Version"/"Download"

    When a file is selected (but not being previewed), the updated placement and design of UI buttons make it easy to accidentally select "Trash" when I mean to select "Upload New Version" or "Download." Please move the "Trash" button to a location that would require more determined thought to select it. Alternately, "Trash" could be spelled out or an otherwise more unique UI button.

    Thanks for the feedback. Currently, we have a tooltip that shows “Trash” when hovering over the icon. We will keep monitoring to see if other users share the same confusion.

  9. Box passwords user experience

    Two issues I'd like to highlight that is significantly making the Box user experience for my users (and me) extremely frustrating.

    1) Box Drive sign in experience
    When my users try to sign into Box Drive and input incorrect passwords multiple times and keep trying, they get a captcha response requirement to continue trying. It's simply broken. It requires images to be selected but this process always gets stuck in an endless loop. I can confirm this from dealing with this on multiple systems running Box Drive and 100% of the time it got stuck in a loop. This captcha…

  10. Instagram Feed Planning

    Hello!

    Im trying to plan my instagram feed and considering some apps to do this. My problem is that I cannot access my photos in Box from these apps.
    For ex-. I can't upload pics stored in my Box using PreviewApp or Planoly. In Planoly the option to upload from Box doesn't even show up. On PreviewApp the option shows up, but when I click, I only see a 'sand clock' with no option to proceed.

    Every app is linked to Dropbox. I think Box should make sure that apps link to Box the same way as with Dropbox.

  12. Moving shared folders should be simple and not involve changing ownership

    Many people in my organization share folders with me. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ends up in my top-level directory. But some should be in one folder and some in another. I should be able to move any shared folder, even ones I am not a collaborator on, to ANY place in my directory structure without changing the physical storage space and without worrying about ownership. Why should the sharer have a right to clutter up my top-level directory with so many folders? It's pages and pages of stuff on the web interface. Since the real data is physically stored…

  13. enlargement of previewer movie over 100%

    Though Box previewer has the full screen mode, further enlargement beyond the screen size cannot be realized.

    Share screens of Zoom can be enlarged up to 300% by participant's manipulation. This function is convenient to selectively read a document written in small texts.

    I wish the legibility when a recorded movie of Zoom is redistributed via the Box viewer.

  14. Exclude users from Single Sign On

    The Single Sign On feature is currently an "all or none" setting and it would be nice to have the option to exclude certain users from the SSO requirement when enabled.

  15. automatically disable link expiry

    I never want my shared links to expire. I wish there was a way for me to set a link expiry preference on my account since I have to follow this process for every boxnote.

    1. create a boxnote.
    2. navigate to the folder it is in.
    3. create shared link.
    4. go to link settings.
    5. disable link expiry.

    I wish I could instead just create a box note, click share and be done with it knowing my link won't expire.

  16. Box web UI does not clarify whether download capability is available for a shared folder

    When logged into the web app on both Firefox and Safari for macOS, I see options to open a particular shared folder file (PDF format) by opening it in Adobe Acrobat.

    However, I later receive the error message "There was a problem completing your request. Please try again".

    I'd strongly suggest against such generic error messages. It is possible that the opening of the file in this way does not succeed due to folder permissions. Perhaps I am not granted access to this folder or file to do anything other than view the document inline. The thing is, I do…

  17. Box Zendesk email links to ticket IDs redirect to generic page post authentication

    Box Zendesk email links to ticket IDs redirect to generic page post authentication.

    I receive an email from support at box ... (also referencing Zendesk in the email domain)

    And within this email there is a link with label "this link".

    Following the link in a session that begins free of any cookies and state (that is, a private browsing session), I am brought to a page to authenticate me - which is just fine.

    However, post-authentication (or in the process), I'm brought to ageneric support page instead of the specific ticket ID. I'm brought to: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us

    Also, on this…

  19. Ability to turn off email notifications when a file is added to Box by email

    We are wanting to use the feature of being able to upload a file to Box by sending an email to the folder email address, but do not want to have the auto email responder saying that "upload was successful". We are wanting to use this feature for our clients but do not want to generate questions when they get a email from Box
