  1. 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

  2. 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)

  4. 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?

  5. Linked Files and Folders in Box Drive

    I'd like to be able to have a folder linked to other folders with the same file so the file can be updated from either location.

    For example, there are Client 1 and Client 2 folders each having the same Folder A within them. In Folder A would be File B and if you update File B by going through Client 1 folder, it would be updated the same as if you went through Client 2 folder.

  6. Extend auto collaboration per folders only

    Hi team,

    Submitting this feature request in behalf of user, requesting to add their visibility to extend auto collaboration per specific folders only.

    There's a similar post on this subject, but not exactly the same. We can set an expiration date for external collaborators at the enterprise level, which is essential to security, and should be set as the "default" setting at the enterprise level. However, there are certain circumstances where a folder would need to be shared long term with many people, and the Box owner account should have the ability to do one of two things, or both:

  7. Box Sign - Ability to send templates from All Files

    The "Sign - Templates" section in Box used to send templates has a lack of folders and filtering which leads to no ability for us to organize or filter our templates. However the "All Files - (Saved templates folder)" already has the ability to create folders, organize templates and see templates (the blue icon). We would love to be able to send templates with the fields in the document (like in the sign - templates section) from the "All files" folder.

  10. Downloading from a Shared Link has a confusing UX message (Modal)

    The "Download in Progress" modal window displays only a "Signup" and "Log In" buttons when downloading files from a shared link. Those buttons and the fact that the modal window must be manually closed even after the download is complete is poor UX and confuses users into thinking they must create an account to successfully download images.

    Our IT department receives multiple tickets from confused users.

  12. 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。

  13. 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…

  14. 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).

  15. 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.

  16. Unable to add URLs ( Internet Shortcuts) to Box Folders

    Favorite URLs ( Internet Shortcuts) are unable to drag and drop on Box folders, while the same is available for local folders ( C Drive). I find this very frustrating and limiting our ability to use BOX. Please resolve this issue urgently.

  17. Enable Metadata Cascading and Autofill on Folders

    It would be very helpful to have the ability to enable cascading and autofill on folders when a metadata template is added as an outcome. In our case, we create new folders for each new position requested and being able to automate the process of applying a metadata template to files added to the folder and then have the metadata populated would be save a lot of time and effort for our HR team.

  18. Perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files which they can access

    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…

  19. 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.

  20. Add configuration to specify a folders data center

    Add the ability to allow files to be stored across multiple data centers. We have multiple offices around the world being able to locate the files closer to where they are needed will address our performance & availability concerns.

    This should be configurable by folder and inherited to the sub folders.
