  1. Quarantined files indicator for Box mobile app

    Quarantined files currently show a red exclamation indicator icon + tooltip “This file is under quarantine” on webapp, but NOT on mobile.

    This is an issue for users (especially external collaborators) who will try to access these quarantined files on mobile, but not understand why they can’t access it.

  2. Show size of all files in a folder

    When downloading, it would be useful to compare the total size of what has been downloaded to the total size of what is being downloaded. Files have sizes listed, not sure about folders, but a total of whatever is on the page, or what is selected would be useful.

  3. Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first

    Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
    When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
    On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…

  4. When uploading to Box, it is common to upload all files in a folder. At this time, the same file may be uploaded multiple times, but is it

    When uploading to Box, it is common to upload all files in a folder.

    At this time, the same file may be uploaded multiple times,

    but is it possible to set it so that only new files are uploaded based on the timestamp?

    Because I want to stop unnecessary version upgrades.

    In the case of FTP, there is a "mirroring upload" function,

    which uploads only new files based on the timestamp.

  5. List of files detected as abnormal downloads

    Content: Currently, Box Shield cannot output a list of files detected as abnormal downloads, so a report must be output and presented to the user for confirmation.
       If there are a large number of detections, it is not practical to check them one by one.I would like to see a feature implemented that allows you to check a list of affected downloads if an abnormal download is detected.

    (日本語)
    件名:異常なダウンロードとして検出されたファイルの一覧について
    内容:現状のBox Shieldの異常なダウンロードで検知されたファイルは一覧出力ができず、レポートを出力してユーザーへ確認する必要があります。
       検知数が多い場合、1つずつ確認するのは現実的ではありません。
       異常なダウンロードとして検知された場合、対象一覧を確認できる機能の実装を希望します。

  6. Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters

    Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters. It is most similar to Adobe Illistrator, so perhaps it should be in the same category as *.ai files.

  7. Allow editors to overwrite files with the same name when uploading by email or widget

    Currently editors cannot overwrite files with the same name when uploading by email or widget. It makes sense for editors to be able to change this option.

    Thank you for this suggestion! This is a low priority because it’s a very narrow use case. Changing this functionality does not impact a large enough user base.

  8. BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using

    BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

  9. Picker: Allow to be configured for files only or folders only

    Connections uses picker in different contexts.

    For files: allow only file selection, but still allow nav down folder tree. Remove the 'add file' button.

    For folders: Allow only folder selection, do not show files. Do not show add files or all files button.

  10. Display warning notification (admin controls) for moving large files and folders.

    We have large projects folders containing 5+ GB of data. Would like to have a warning notification similar to that of deleting a file, pop up when someone goes to move a file or folder.

    Ideally this would have customizable parameters controlled by the admin such as warn users only when file contains over 100 mb or even a feature that requires admin approval over a certain amount.

    We recently had one of our very large folders moved accidentally and it caused a huge bandwidth issue as well as displaced the many sub folders that various departments relied on.

  12. prevent saving files on local disk to folders that the user does not have access to.

    Prevent saving files on local disk to folders that the user does not have access to. At present just a warning pops up but non-tech-savvy users don't know what to do with that, and the errant files can only be found by logging in as that user on that particular machine. If there was some way to not allow invalid local saves it would be very helpful!

  13. when viewing files and returning folder box site jumps to the top instead of selecting last open file

    When (pre)viewing files on it's own screen and returning to the folder, the box website jumps to the top instead of selecting last open file, this makes it difficult when dealing with massive amounts of files in a folder as I need to scroll back down to find where I was

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional feedback.

  16. Print a package of signed documents directly from Box

    Would like to be able to print a package of documents that have completed the signature cycle versus printing each completed document from the package

  17. Box Drive to notify users before logging out that files or folders not sycn up will be lost.

    It will be helpful if users will be notified before logging out of Box Drive that all files or folders not sync up to Box will be lost . In this way, users will be able to check again on the problem items and save it on other location before proceeding on logging out. This will prevent loss of files.

  18. I want you to be able to print for each headline of BoxNotes.

    I want you to be able to print for each headline of BoxNotes.

    If one note has the following three items as headings,
    ◉Future schedule
    ◉Issue management
    ◉Questions for business partners

    I would like to share all three items within the company, so I will write them in a note.
    I would like to print out the third question, ``Questions for business partners,'' as it will be used during meetings with business partners.

  19. Prevent file duplication when using template and file replacement

    Box Sign allows the creation of templates that replace the underlying document within a signature request / template while keeping the existing field placeholders in place.
    However, using a different document than the pre-set document will result in duplicate files identical to the original document in the destination folder of the Sign document.
    This means that one unnecessary file is generated each time the template is used once.
    If a template is used 100 times, there can be as many as 100 unnecessary files!
    Of course, this will not occur if no files are replaced. However, it is common…

  20. Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box

    The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.
