Secure open link - Require email address verification with one-time password
【Summary】
Please add "Require email address confirmation by one-time password" to the Open Link settings.
This will allow the access statistics to show the email addresses of users who have accessed from the open link, so that you can determine if the access is suspicious or not.【Problem to be solved】
The current open link is not secure enough.
This is because it is not possible to determine who accessed the file.
With the current use, if a user who is not logged in to Box accesses from an open link, the access history only shows the IP address…24 votes -
Cleanup and Enhance the file/folder webhook events to cover all the happy paths (new file, new file version, restore previous version)
As a Box Application Developer I want to be able to receive a unique, webhook events for the following scenarios:
- User uploads new file (brand new binary object placed into a Box Folder) - Folder based event (exists: FILE.UPLOADED)
- User uploads a new file version - File AND Folder based event (e.g. FILE_NEW.VERSION)
- User restores a previous file version - File AND Folder based event (e.g. FILE_RESTORE.VERSION)
As the owner of an enterprise application that has deep integration in the BOX platform, it is surprising that I have no way to use the Webhooks to monitor files for new versions…

Make API rate limits more sophisticated, especially for large enterprises
When working with a Box Enterprise that has tens of thousands of users, scripts designed to do things like user information syncing, group syncing, or user provisioning/deprovisioning often run into real issues with the Box API rate limits.
Some calls (e.g. downloading or uploading a file) are clearly significantly more resource-intensive than others (e.g. getting a user’s aliases). The method Google has implemented for the Gmail API (see https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/quota) seems like a really great way to balance the need to protect the back-end systems against the need for increased performance for less-intensive calls. It would be nice…

Enable Bulk Import of User Activity Report Schedule Settings via CSV
In our company, we create dedicated folders for each project to manage personal information.
For each project folder, we export a User Activity Report related to file management and share it with the inspectors responsible for each project on site.
Since this task needs to be performed regularly, we use the schedule feature of the report.Because the "Affected Folders and Files," "Invite as Viewer," and "Repeat Every" differ for each project, we have to manually configure the Schedule Report settings one by one for each case.
Currently, with Box's reporting feature, it is not possible to batch configure these…2 votes -
User activity on some days only (like saturday and sunday)
Would it be possible to run the activity report and select some days in the week ?
It could be interesting to see the activity during the week-end (saturday and sunday), so we can see if it's normal or not.4 votes -

Add option to cancel workflow
Currently there is only delete option to stop the workflow.
Workflows are stalled or stacked as in progress sometimes. We want to assign similar task manually or re-assign the same task to complete the workflow in time.
But it will cause duplicated tasks assigned unexpectedly or file operation (move or copy etc.) is executed twice. This is very confusing.
So we want to cancel the existing workflow before manual workaround.12 votes -
Box Hubs - Ability to Share Hub with All Managed Users
We have a number of Hubs that are geared towards providing information to all employees. As such, it would be great to be able to share a Hub with all managed users. In addition, it would be helpful to have the ability to share any file or folder with all managed users without having to create and manage and all users group or adding multiple groups to a file/folder to accomplish this.

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.

Box Drive Accidental Deletion
Since the introduction of Box Drive end users that haven't read the documentation and skip through the walkthrough aren't used to seeing all of the files and folders.
The user without realizing, then believes that all of these files and folders either aren't needed or are taking up physical space on their hard drive. The user then either randomly deletes select files and folder or just deletes everything within Box Drive. A solution is needed to either further alert or prevent this. One other possible solution is to create a process to fully restore all of the deletions and…

Box Drive Warning When File Path is too Long
There is a known issue with Box Drive that if a file path is exceeds a character count limit, then the file cannot be opened on desktop, however it can be opened via Box on the web. The issue is, when a user has a file on their desktop, that has a current file path within the character count limits, then moves the file to Box Drive within Windows Explorer and the new path in box exceeds the character limits. As of now, the user can copy and paste into Box Drive and not realize that their new path will…

User statistics to include users with zero activity
User statistic reports only return users who have an action against the names, rather than reporting all users as it previously did
Expected Behavior:User statistic report should return all users in the box account rather than just those with actions. This is so that the client can target users who have not logged into box

Need more explanation for "Unknown IP" on User Activity Report
It would be helpful for the User Activity Report to show something like "Box internal IP" or "Legit IP" in the IP Address column when the IP falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address".
Customers sometimes want to know the reason of "Unknown IP" description for their User Activity Report events.
The article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415012490387-User-Activity-Report says "Unknown IP" is shown when the IP address falls into "Spoof an IP address", "Use a VPN proxy", or "Use Box’s internal IP address" situations.If it falls into "Use Box’s internal IP address" situation, customers do not have to worry about it…

Add a function to extract the collaboration list for each specific folder of box by "user (editor etc.)"
I want you to add a function to extract the collaboration list for each specific folder of BOX by "user (editor etc.)"
Background:
Currently, it is necessary to output the report (collaboration) by the administrator,
but I want to output it by a user without administrator authority, not by the administrator each time.
Not one department or company that manages all folders,
Each small folder has a co-owner, and the co-owner grants access rights and strips them.
Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the intrusion of many people such as personnel changes of those who have access rights…5 votes -
