  1. A way to obtain reporting on how long a file was previewed for in order to gain insights on interactions.

    A way to obtain reporting on how long a file was previewed for? Within the admin consol, I can see reporting for specific events (i.e. Preview, Downloaded, Created, etc...); Optionality to see how long a file was previewed for once it was opened can provide insights into the interactions with files/folders.

  2. Request for Long-Term-Support (LTS) release for Box Drive

    we request for Long-Term-Support (LTS) release for Box Drive.
    Currently, box drive is updated too much frequently, therefore it is very impossible for us to upgrade Box drive to latest version in a adequate timing (when we upgrade box drive, it takes long time to validate and install box drive every time).We would like to use box drive as long as possible in the same version: Long-Term-Support (LTS)(We do hope that support term should be at least longer than 6 months) .

  3. Delete app users via the admin console

    Its great that you can view all the app users in the admin console but shame you are unable to delete them. Can this be made possible rather then using https://developer.box.com/en/reference/delete-users-id/

    Thanks

  4. Upload embedded metadata for search

    We would like to have the ability to have metadata search work for files that are uploaded to Box, if the metadata was already embedded on the file before the upload
    “For example, a .jpg with metadata from Photoshop typed in”

  5. I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails.

    I have asked to be notified (in the folder settings) when someone uploads a document but I don't receive any emails. I used to receive emails but I don't anymore. Why did that change??

  7. Time to complete task including / excluding weekends

    A customer I am working with would like to add the flexibility to include or exclude weekends when adding a time to complete tasks. This would make more business sense to end users to not include weekends when assigning a time to complete, and would make for a more standard business process. It would make it easier when creating relay workflows to assign a task that needs to be completed in two business days rather than just two days. This would be for the reason that if a task is assigned on a Friday to completed in a day, then…

  8. Provide folder navigation path while previewing file in web app

    In the Web App, while viewing folder contents a usable full path navigation function is provided at the top of the page. However, if selecting a file all that is available at the top is a link to the folder the file resides in. It would be helpful and consistent to provide the same folder navigation option.

  13. Enable passphrases instead of only complex passwords

    We enabled the Box strong password policy for 3rd parties; however, it does not permit passphrases. In the CASB pilot, when I accepted an invite to collaborate on my personal Box account, Diageo Box required me to change my 15 character passphrase to a complex password. That will be a problem for any 3rd parties using passphrases. Therefore we should turn that policy OFF.

  14. [Microsoft Edge] Hidden files and shortcuts should be uploaded by using the Upload Folders feature with Microsoft Edge

    [Microsoft Edge] Hidden files and shortcuts should be uploaded by using the Upload Folders feature with Microsoft Edge
    Current Edge(not Chromium based) is not able to upload hidden files and shortcuts by using the Upload Folders feature due to browser limitation.

    Enterprises who have a policy to only allow the usage of the legacy version of Microsoft Edge. Therefore, cannot back up hidden files to Box

  15. Clarify language on daily digest email setting

    The 'send daily digest activity emails to the admin' setting sends these emails to BOTH the primary admin and the co-admins of the enterprise. The wording on the tooltip of this feature should be updated to reflect this. It currently contains singular language, which is misleading as the email is sent to multiple people.

  16. Ability to automatically set auto-deletion of subfolders under a given folder.

    Currently, we can manually set auto-deletion of a folder via folder settings. We want auto-deletion be set automatically for all newly created folders and files that are under a given folder (in a similar way as how folder-based retention policy auto-delete file versions under the folder.). Unlike retention policy which only admins can configure via admin console, we want this feature to be configurable by end users.

  17. Improve Relay error messaging for missing info

    If there is info missing, the relay workflow can still be saved. Instead of wiping out all that you've drafted, it goes into an inactive state so you don’t lose your work when you close the window.

    Even better would be if the error tells you WHERE you are missing info. Instead of the vague, “please fill out all required fields before saving" messaging

  19. View versions of documents on ipad ios device
