  1. Set default file view and sort options by folder (and all sub folders for that folder)

    Ideally, let an owner or editor of a folder set the default view (list or grid) and sort order of the files.

    The system default appears to be by date the file was updated which is rarely (if ever) what our users want.

    Re: view options: For photos especially, the list view is rarely the preferred view.

    Additionally, with the grid view, allow the size of the image also be set as a default.

    This may not be an admin console enhancement. I think it needs to be a under More when you’re looking a a folder.

  2. Folder color and icon customization

    Current UI, it is not easy to recognize which folder is important in visually.
    If we can customize folder color and icon by importance, it is going to be easy to discriminate between folders and it is improve security.

  3. Want to be able to add file request to folders via Zapier

    Now you have a dedicated File Request API, it'd be great if I could add File Requests to folders via Zapier (which I use to automate the creation of folders). And then also to get back the File Request URL so can make that part of my workflow.

    At a very minimum, you should be able to export a list of all folders and their associated File Request links so that I do not have to copy each one individually after bulk creating folders and bulk adding a File Request to each!

  5. Allow Bluegroups for centrally managing membership across various box folders for teams.

    Every team has multiple Box folders that they use for various purposes. It could be great if BOX could connect with Bluegroups. That way the membership can be added or deleted in one Bluegroup rather than across multiple box folders.

  6. Request for improvement of behavior when posting a shared link of a Box folder in a Teams channel or chat

    When you post a Box shared link in a Teams channel or chat, you'll see a Grant Access card with the option to grant users additional permissions if the following conditions are true:

     condition:If there are channel members or chat members who do not have access permissions to the shared folder or file.
          *This includes channel members and chat members who are invited as a group but not directly invited as users.

    The support article states that when you grant access, the card will update and a content card with file details will be displayed.
    However, when you post a …

  9. About the expiration time of shared links

    I would like shared links to be processed at tenant set times.
    (For Japan: Links are processed when the date changes at 0:00)

    テナント設定時刻で共有リンクが処理されるようにしていただきたいです。
    (日本の場合:0:00の日付が変わるタイミングでリンクが処理される)

  11. Ability to choose default shared link access security level on a per user basis

    We have the default shared link permission to people in the folder or file.

    We would like to change that default for one user to be "People in your company" for example.

  12. shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!

    shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!
    The URL is meaningless to the end user and the file path would create an easier way to return to the same document and recognize where it is saved

  13. Scope of Access Policy Application

    We request Shield Access Policy Settings to be applied in the external tenant.

    [background]
    The setting access policy in our tenant doesn`t apply to shared folders in external tenants.
    We consider it is a risk to move folders or files incorrectly to shared folders in external tenants.

  14. Governance, Retention policy for folders with no content

    hen a retention policy removes files, it's possible to end up in a situation where there is a very long list of folders without any files. It would be helpful if there was a way to remove these folders quickly.

  15. Option to send notifications when a change is made to a shared file

    Have an option to send notifications whenever a change is made to a shared file. I don't want this for every file all the time, but in certain situations this is very helpful - for example, when I'm asking people to add information to an Excel sheet.

  16. Dragging files or folders out of BOX makes a copy

    With the recent update to BOX Drive, when you move something from BOX to your computer it removes it from BOX. It used to make a copy by default. We use BOX as a shared file server and this change allows for accidental deletion.

    Can you please add the ability to make this copy rather than move the file, only when moving out of BOX onto the computer or an outside volume?

  17. Collaborators Page - Add 'Common Folders' Column Back to Page

    In Legacy, the Collaborators page had a column called "Common Folders" that told me (as a user) which folders I was collaborating in with the given user.

    In Amsterdam, this column was removed, meaning the page only tells me WHO I'm collaborating with, but not WHERE I'm collaborating with them (aka in which folders)...which makes the page FAR less useful.

    REQUEST: Add the 'Common Folders' (or something similar) column back to the Collaborators page so that the page can tell me both
    1. Who I'm collaborating with across my entire account
    AND
    2. Where I'm collaborating with…

    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

  18. Create a view of files or folders with unsupported names

    Currently: If a file has an unsupported name, it will be listed in Box Drive or Box Sync without their path name. Users will have to manually search for the file which is not feasible if they have thousands of files with unsupported names.

    Desired: Create a view of files or folders with unsupported search names in the Box web app to make it easy to rename and removes the process of having to manually search for them.

    Nice to Have: Have a button, when clicked, expands to reveal the full path of files or folders with unsupported names

  19. Controlling the Visibility of External Collaboration Folders in Box Drive via Admin Settings

    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin Console.

    [Background]
    When using Box Drive, the following security risks exist:
    ・Risk of data leakage due to user error: Files or folders may be accidentally dragged and dropped into external collaboration folders.
    ・Risk of ransomware spreading to external tenants: If a user falls victim to ransomware, the encryption attack may also affect external collaboration folders belonging to other companies.

    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the…

  20. Timestamp watermark appears in GMT timezone when public shared link is accessed.

    When a user is logged into Box and accesses a shared link, the watermark will appear in the timezone for their Box account.

    But when a public shared link is accessed without logging into a Box account, which is the most cases, then the watermark timestamp will appear in GMT instead of the device time settings.

    This would cause inconsistency for the time accuracy , some are the time user download or view the file, however some are not (GMT).
