  1. Enhanced Folder Naming for Signature Links

    Current Issue
    When documents are issued via Box Sign signature links, the folders created during storage are named with dates only. We would like the ability to include document-identifying codes or keywords in folder names.

    Current behavior:

    File names are preserved, but folders are subsequently named with dates only
    When signature links are sent to multiple recipients, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which document belongs to which person
    Lack of clear organization makes document management challenging
    Proposed Enhancement
    Folder naming should include:

    Signature recipient's name
    Document-identifying keywords or codes
    Customizable naming conventions
    Business Impact
    This enhancement would significantly improve…

  2. Daily reminders on uncompleted tasks for Approvers in box relay

    Would like to have a function to notify the Approver for uncompleted tasks in box relay on a daily bases. A popup when opening box of the web would also do.

    When the Approver of a task is extremely busy, the current email notification is not enough, therefore would like to have an automatic reminder on a daily bases on pending approval tasks.

  3. Out of office replies in comments for those that are tagged and out of office

    When tagged in the comments area the notification is sent to my Outlook email account.
    The user doesn't get a an "Out of Office" reply from my Outlook email as that message is a "no-reply" from box to me. So if I'm out for an extended amount of time, those collaborating in box have no idea I'm out. Is there a way to put some type of available/not available status or notification in box to alert others?

  4. Sharing folders takes too many clicks

    It takes too many steps to share. When box first came it was awesome- 1 click to create a folder and 1(2?) clicks to share. Now it is 5 (five!!!!) steps to be able to put the folder link into "pasting" into email position. Why are you yet another company who along with increased success make it worse for its users? And contacting you regarding this issue is such a hassle- there is no direct "contact" information to voice this issue. That communicates that you really show no interest in us users.

  5. The ability to resize or delete the astronomical images on the Relay notifications.

    In its current state, the astronomical image is so large that it is difficult to see the text underneath.
    Since there is no need to display images, we are requesting the implementation of this function.

    現在の状態では天体画像が大きいことで下にある本文の確認がしづらいです。
    画像を表示させる必要性もないため機能の実現を求めます。

  6. We have 700+ users. There should be an easy way that an admin or co-admin can notify everyone.

    Example: say we need to do some maintenance and would like to notify all of our users. Right now I was told the only way to do this is to email everyone or share a link with everyone. With over 700+ users that would be a LOT of emailing or sharing. Can you please create a way we can send out a notification to our whole enterprise?

  7. tagging/assigning comments on a document (similar to OneDrive)

    In One Drive you are able to add comments directly within the document, and tag people/ assign the comment to a person using the @ sign and it will send them a notification.

  8. Add a 'description' for folder and files at the top of the page, just below the folder/file name.

    A description of the folder at the top of the page will save time for our users, stakeholders and team members. It can be used as a way to describe what a user can expect to find in a given folder; and if this option extends in all sub-folders and files, it can help save a lot of time, bandwidth, and storage.

    The following format example will work well:

    Account name > Project name > Research files

    In this folder, you will find data about the project research and all the research files that are available. For any information…

  9. Add permissions to a folder without emailing everyone

    I'd like to be able to edit permissions directly in a folder without sending and receiving a ton of emails. I have not found a way to do this - even silent mode on the admin account does not allow for this. I think the notifications within Box are sufficient to let people know their folder permissions have changed and if I want to send an email it is easier if I just send a single email outside of Box to all affected.

  10. Shorten/Remove "Copy Link" Delay

    There is often a delay when copying links to multiple files/folders in Box. As a result, one link may not be successfully copied even after the green "Copied" notification appears.

    Enable option for non-Admins to be notified about Box Shield Threat Detection.

    E.g. Owner of folder is also notified. Today, only Co-Admins can get Box Shield Threat Detection notifications.

  12. RELAY Notifications

    Relay can alert on new collaborators to a folder. Relay cannot distinguish external vs managed user. It would be a plus if on certain folders you can choose to ignore if the collaborator is a managed user. So only alerts for external collaborators get sent.

  13. Install Box Sync on PC using existing Box Sync folder

    You have a published workaround here:

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043691074-Box-Sync-Displays-Message-Select-Another-Folder-Location-

    This only describes how to download the Box Sync data all over again. I do not have high-speed internet, so this would take weeks to do.

    All I did was change out my storage drive. All of the Box Sync data was copied exactly, so all 50GB of data is still there. I just need to have it see that the files in the current folder are the same (you can use the filename, location, and file size). Syncing the file's timestamp with my PC would be a nice feature, as my PC…

  14. Box for Microsoft Office co-authoring permissions per folder

    I propose the ability to change the setting for each folder regarding whether or not Box co-authorship is enabled.
    With the current Box for office co-authoring feature, all folders have the coauthoring feature turned on.
    I would like to have a switch so that some folders are on and some are off.

    Boxの共著の可否について、フォルダ毎に設定を変更する機能を提案します。
    現在のBox for officeの共著機能では、全てのフォルダが共著機能がオンになってしまいます。
    あるフォルダはオン、あるフォルダはオフというように、スイッチをつけてほしい。

  15. Enable Fast Push Notifications for Metadata Changes.

    Enable Fast Push Notifications for Metadata Changes.

    Nationwide is a platform customer who is customizing Box’s UI elements to support a new version of their Claim Center application. One of their usecases requires nearly instantaneous notification for metadata updates. The Event Stream is not an appropriate source because of the delay associated in parsing.

    This functionality would 100% be used by Nationwide.

  17. Dashboards - Enhanced (and Exportable) Dashboards in Admin Console

    This request is for enhanced dashboards inside the Admin Console, specifically:
    1. Exportable dashboards
    2. Customizable - add options to choose custom date ranges, etc.
    3. Allow for a 'double click' into the charts to see far more information - for example, don't just show me the top 5 users by storage total (like we do now) -- also allow me to 'double click' on that chart to see my top 100 or 500 even.

    We intend to improve the Insights dashboard to provide more interactivity and customization. We will be working on the prerequisites to enable those improvements this year and will revisit these suggestions once they have been completed.

  18. Need box tasks such as approval to be added with our Slack integration for notifications

    Need box tasks such as approval to be added with our Slack integration for notifications.
    Currently if I get tagged in box I can receive a slack notification but I only get an email for approval tasks and gets buried in emails.

  19. Using Box for Salesforce on Salesforce Knowledge

    Salesforce Knowledge is useful for service organizations for keeping internal and external customers up-to-date on the latest support items.
    Box for Salesforce is a great way to manage assets related to specific Salesforce records and keep things organized.
    Making Box for Salesforce available on Salesforce Knowledge would save space, apply the same asset organization and save on Salesforce storage space.
    This would be different than the Box Community app which allows you to preview a specific Box file on a page.
    For internal support reps, using Knowledge to handle customer inquires on support cases would be aided by not having…

  20. Notify users before account becomes inactive

    Notify users before account becomes inactive.

    System should have the feature to set the days before notification goes out to users that are approaching the threshold of inactivity (user not accessing Box).
