  1. Show Folder Size in GB/MB at root and tree level, inside

    To see, at a glance inside the Box.com web interface inspector, the file size allocated to each parent folder and should I click in, each sibling folder. Right now, the interface only gives the number of files, which is deeply unhelpful when trying to assess what folders are taking up how much storage...

  2. Enhanced data loss prevention for MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) mobile apps that integrate with Box.

    Currently, users who connected their corporate Box account to a MS Office mobile app, can duplicate files to another storage location. It would be ideal if Admins had the ability to prevent users from duplicating a file originally stored on Box, and preventing them from using the Duplicate feature to copy the file to another storage location like Dropbox/OneDrive.

  4. Multi-user and automatic uploads

    Make box access suitable for multi user computers and have mechanism for automatically uploading data.

    Use case: Lab equipment used by multiple users producing large amounts of data, automatically uploading this to box so as to limit required user interaction and keep local storage in check. Modern equipment can produce large amounts of data and being able to upload this automatically would help with data management. Requiring user intervention to manage their data is less practical with a very large user base so automating this process would again help with this process.

  6. Relay: Involve external Users to a manual workflow as "not-owner" of the folder/file

    Hi,

    i discribe a situation:
    The Admin is the owner of all folders/files, directors has co-owner-rights and all employees are editors. It is similarly discribed in "Folder Structure Best Practices" under "Business Unit Drive"
    Now we invite some external users... not only the owner can invite them.
    Then we create some relays for specific folder, especially some manual ones, assign a task and set the Assignee to "Specify at startup"...not only the owner can do this.
    Last but not least we start the manual workflow and choose as Assignee an external user... but wait...ONLY the owner of the folder (1…

  7. Slack notifications for tasks

    We cannot be getting task notifications on Slack Channel. Comment notifications to the Slack Channel have become very convenient, but if task notifications are also given, seamless communication will be possible and more convenient.

  8. Allow co-owners (not just owners) to extend auto-expiration date for external collaborators.

    The primary reason why we have not enabled the auto-expiration for Collaborators is because only folder Owners will receive notifications of expiring collaborators and links, and only Owners will have the ability to extend the expiration date. In our instance, the Primary BoxAdmin account owns all content (and users are not allowed to create root-level folders, they're only co-owners).

    If this ability were extended to Co-Owners, then this enterprise setting would be feasible for us. It has to be up to the co-owners to receive the notifications and determine whether or not to extend the sharing (since they…

  9. Turn off notifications

    Turn off notifications for the owner of the account on specific tasks not pertaining to this individual. The account owner is receiving notifications for everyone else's tasks and assignments.

  10. Ability to specify who will be notified when a password is changed.

    As part of security operational reviews, administrators may occasionally check whether passwords have been changed multiple times within the same day, when necessary.
    Currently, I believe password change notifications are sent to users with administrative privileges, including group administrators.
    For operational reasons, we would like group administrators not to receive these notifications, so we would like to be able to optionally configure the recipients of password change notifications.

    セキュリティ面の運用見直しの一環で、管理者で同日内に何度もパスワード変更していないか等を必要な時にチェック行うことがあります。
    現状、グループ管理者含めた管理者権限のあるユーザー宛にパスワード変更通知が届くと思います。
    運用上の理由からグループ管理者がこれらの通知を受け取らないようにしたいため、任意でパスワード変更通知先を設定できるようにしたいです。

  11. Ability to send custom notifications for new uploads by external users

    A customer of ours reached out to ask if it is possible to configure email notifications for a Box folder to send to anyone who uploads a document into this folder. Specifically she is asking whether an automatic reply email can be created and sent to anyone who uploads a file into a folder she owns. This folder is for admissions purposes, so having every uploader adjust their email notification settings is not a practical solution in this case. Since this is not currently an option for Box, I wanted to submit this feedback to suggest for future releases.

  12. ChatGPT connector

    Current customer using the ChatGPT plug in with Box and need to prevent the ChatGPT API from triggering a piece of content download notification to the owner of the file or folder. Would there be a way to get the text rep without it being treated as a download, or a way to exclude certain actions from the notification stream?

  13. Set dynamic/arbitrary values for comments in approval tasks/general tasks/notifications

    I would like to be able to set dynamic values for comments in approval tasks/general tasks/notifications and arbitrarily set them at the time of assignment.
    Example 1: In a workflow that is manually started and assigned an approval task, an arbitrary comment can be set at startup.
    Example 2: In a workflow that notifies of new uploads, the file name can be dynamically set in the notification content.

    承認タスク/一般タスク/通知のコメントに動的な値や割り当て時に任意に設定できるようにしたい。
    例1:手動で起動し、承認タスクを割り当てるワークフローにて、起動時に任意のコメントを設定できる
    例2:新規アップロードを通知するワークフローにて、通知内容にファイル名を動的に設定できる

  14. notifications

    From an end user perspective; it would be nice to have this as an option to select while sending a collaboration invite. Collaboration owner will be given an option to select an “email template” a default template or a customized template. User will have an option to create and store few templates under his/her account profile which will be visible when they click on the “select a notification email template”.

  16. 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.

  20. Getting Notifications that Don't apply to non-admins

    When I logged into Box this morning, I saw the following note in the lower right-hand corner of my home screen.

    Your Box account has been growing!
    A growing number of users at your company have signed up for Box accounts – exceeding the number seats included in your plan by {{MLDATAOVERAGE_SEATS}}. To adjust this license overage, add seats to your plan using the link below.

    1. We do have seats available
    2. I am not an admin so this shouldn't be a notification I should receive.
