  1. 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).

  2. I want to search for folders by tag prefixes.

    Could you provide an API endpoint that allows searching for folders by tag prefixes? This would streamline the process by eliminating the need to manually retrieve all folders and filter them based on tags.

  3. Automatic warning when generating "people with link" shared link

    Generating a shared link with "people with link" settings is very easy for end users, to the point where they might not realize the degree to which they open that content up to hard-to-mitigate, external distribution. An automatic warning, when an end user selects" people with link," is required per company security policy.

    not planned  ·  vlarco responded

    We understand the concern and believe the proper way to implement this is to either allow the admins to default shared links to “people in my company” and/or when a user selects “people with link” and admin can select a setting to pop up a warning message. We wouldn’t want to implement this by default to all customers since this is adding friction to sharing which will have a negative effect on that action.

  4. Overview of Synced Folders

    It would be useful to be able to see all the folders you’ve synced to your hard drive.

    I often have to make large graphics files available offline so I can work on them. I’m typically working across 40+ projects with other people picking things up at various points, so it’s easy to lose track of what’s still active. As such, hard drive space fills up.

    Currently, managing files requires hunting through massive directory trees for anything that has a little green tick. Or the less labour intensive but equally daunting option of ‘going nuclear’ and unsyncing everything and starting…

  5. We would like to have the ablilty to create two folders in different places within our BOX environment and for these two folder to stay sync

    We would like to have the ability to create two folders in different places within our BOX environment and for these two folder to stay sync'd. If we add a file into one folder it is added to the other folder also. If we remove a file from one of the folders it is removed from the other folder. What ever change takes place in one folder is duplicated in it's sync'd folder

  6. 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.

  7. Images pasted in BoxNotes are not displayed due to the "Shared links expiration settings".

    If you have enabled the "Shared links expiration settings", images pasted on BoxNotes will also have that expiration date setting.
    Therefore, after the expiration date has passed, images pasted on BoxNotes will no longer be displayed in BoxNotes.
    We would like to see the specification changed so that images pasted on BoxNotes are not affected by the "Shared links expiration settings".

  8. Google Workspace - Add Collaborators/Check for Collaborators

    The Google Workspace add-on only allows you to create a Shared Link to share files/folders, you cannot add/remove collaborators. It would be great to have the ability to add folks as collaborators, rather than just choosing from Shared Link settings. Additionally, it would be great if when sharing the file it could be recognized that recipients on the email and/or calendar invite do not have existing permissions to the file/folder (similar to what Google does.)

  12. Quickly get a list of folders with NO collaboratoins

    We have a few hundred abandoned/orphaned folders from people who left the enterprise, but did not transfer ownership of files. The folders were not deleted when the accounts were deleted. I could quickly delete quite a few of them if there are no collaborations--going by the logic that if there are no collaborations, there is nothing important in them and could easily be deleted since no one has missed the data for several years.

  14. Send Shared Link via Default Email Desktop Application

    In shared link pop-up window, include an option to send the link via the default desktop email client instead of through Box. This would open up a new email in their email client with the shared link in the body of the email.

    This experience would be similar to the experience of when you click an email address on a website and the default email app on your computer is opened.

    This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  15. Ability to exclude certain email addresses from accessing public links.

    Some links are shared with individuals both in and out of the organization. When the individuals move on, they no longer need access to our folders. It would be great if we could exclude their email addresses from future access.

  16. Set a password for the "People in Company" shared link.

    "People with the link" shared links can be set a password.
    We want to use this for "People in Company" as well.

    Some companies also require you to set a password when sharing items to company users.
    We believe that this feature will allow us to utilize Box even more.

    「リンクを知っている全員」の共有リンクには、パスワードを設定できます。
    これを「会社のユーザー」にも設定したい。

    会社によっては、会社のユーザーとアイテムを共有するときにパスワードを設定する必要があります。
    この機能により、Boxをさらに活用できると確信しています。

  17. Shared link works on desktop but fails on mobile

    I received a Box link from a contact in the form https://app.box.com/s/[string]/folder/[string]. Clicking this link in iOS Mail app opened a Box web page in Safari with the message "This shared file or folder has been removed." I tried to resolve this by installing the Box app. Clicking the link now opened the Box app with a message telling me I must log in to access my content. This would not be possible for recipients without a Box account.

    In macOS Mail, clicking the link opened a Box web page in Safari correctly listing the shared files. Without logging…

  18. Custom scope feature for Shared Links

    We would like to request the addition of a feature that allows content sharing to be set narrower than "company users" and broader than "invited users only" in "Enterprise Settings" using groups.

    As a result, in organizations such as educational institutions where customers such as children, pupils, and students exist within the same tenant, it will be possible to guarantee the fairness of sharing safely within a limited range without collaboration.

    Requesting to perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files they have access to, not just the ones they own. Include fields like – date modified, created date, and any other file attributes normally included in the file and folder report.

    The File and Folder reporting mechanism but it’s lacking features to perform an inventory across hundreds of specific folders (in an environment where a lot of folders have the same name).

    The content manager, only reports on files that users own and they don’t own files in our taxonomy. The initial view looks good…
