  1. provide option to not automatically accept collaboration invitations when being invited from a user group

    I do not have option to not accept the collaboration invitation when content is shared with a user group that I belong to. Is there a way to have the option to not accept the invitation when invited by a user group that I am part of it.

  2. File request - Block upload of domains not on enterprise allowlisted domains

    For File Request where Enterprise requires user to login prior to submission, would like an additional security check for Enterprises that only allow for external collaboration from allowed domains as listed in the Enterprise console. If the domain is on the list then allow for file request upload, if domain is not on the allowlisted domains, block upload.

    According to BOX, this is what is being Watermarked “For App Users, it is their user id and current timestamp. The default watermark cannot be customized at this time.”
    Right now the Watermark is their “USER ID”, and we need it to be their USER NAME or NAME.

  5. Request for improvement to the number of users without access displayed on the content card in Box for Teams

    If the user has only been invited as a group, they will be counted and shown as "without access" even though they have access permissions because they are not a direct collaborator.
    We are aware that this behavior is documented in a support article.
    However, the display differs from the actual situation and may induce incorrect responses, as described below.
    Therefore, we would like to request a fix so that it shows the accurate number of users without access, whether they are direct collaborators or group collaborators.

     ex)
     1.Even though the target user has access rights as a group,…

  6. Extend expiration dates to be shown in their user activity reports

    For external collaborations, it shows the date the collaboration is going to end when it's first set in the user activity to report as
    -Action: Collaboration expiration
    -Details: To: YYYY-MM-DD

    However when you extend this period, the "To: YYYY-MM-DD" isn't displayed so you don't know until when it's extended until unless you go the individual folder/file itself and look at the "clock" mark manually.
    In the report
    -Action: Extend collaborator expiration
    -Details: [Blank]

    The customer wants to have a grasp of each expiration dates so they're saying looking at each item manually on Box is impractical.
    They would like the…

  7. Add information about when users clicks a bookmark to the user activity report

    Currently, the behavior when users click a bookmark created in Box and move to the link destination is not included in the user activity report.
    Administrators want to check which they used bookmarks and when from Box and which sites they accessed from the log.
    Please add information about when they click a bookmark to the user activity report.

    <アクティビティレポートにブックマークをクリックしたときの情報を追加してほしい>
    現在は、Boxに作成したブックマークをクリックし、リンク先へ遷移した際の動作がアクティビティレポートに記載されません。
    管理者は、どのユーザーが、いつ、Box上からブックマークを利用し、どのサイトへアクセスしたのかログから確認したいと思っています。
    アクティビティレポートにブックマークをクリックしたときの情報を追加してください。

  8. Workflows with external users

    (Japanese follows)
    When an external user is invited to a folder, you want to execute a workflow that specifies an external user.

    Currently, the notification action allows you to create a workflow that specifies an external user.
    Since it is not possible to create a workflow that specifies an external user in the "folder action" > "Add collaborator" etc., I would like to see the function improved so that external users can be specified in "Add Collaborator" and other actions.

    フォルダに外部ユーザが招待されている状況で、外部ユーザを指定したワークフローを実行したい

    現状、通知アクションでは外部ユーザを指定したワークフローが作成可能。
    フォルダアクション>「コラボレータの追加」などでは、外部ユーザを指定したワークフローが作成できない為、「コラボレータの追加」とそれ以外のアクションでも外部ユーザが指定できるよう機能改善してほしい。

  9. Send verification email to user, on the primary email alias update on admin console

    Changing primary email login on admin console for users does NOT send email with verification link to these users. I've had to troubleshoot this for every user I've attempted to make this change on. Please fix.

  10. Prevent file duplication when using template and file replacement

    Box Sign allows the creation of templates that replace the underlying document within a signature request / template while keeping the existing field placeholders in place.
    However, using a different document than the pre-set document will result in duplicate files identical to the original document in the destination folder of the Sign document.
    This means that one unnecessary file is generated each time the template is used once.
    If a template is used 100 times, there can be as many as 100 unnecessary files!
    Of course, this will not occur if no files are replaced. However, it is common to…

  11. Name in the notification email of Box Relay should be the initiator of a workflow rather than workflow owner/creator.

    Currently the name displyaed in the notification email of Box Relay is the name who owned/created the workflow.
    It's idal to be displayed Name of initiator of a workflow in the notification email especially in caseunspecified majority of people might launch the workflow by manual.
    Enabling the above feature makes it much easier to confirm user who start the flow.

  12. Prevent each user from accepting invitations without their consent.

    【Current status】
    Currently, users can enable “Require acceptance when receiving invitations” in their account settings, but the problem is that administrators cannot enforce this.

    【Background】
    Box allows users to easily send invitations to collaborate as long as they have an email address.
    This means that you can be invited to a folder without your knowledge, and a mysterious folder can suddenly appear in your top folder.
    This creates the possibility of accidentally uploading a file or downloading an unwanted file.

    The invitations we receive from outside parties can be restricted by a collaboration whitelist in Box Governance, but…

  14. About the scope of expiration notice to co-owners.

    Currently the expiration of the invited user to a folder is notified to the owner and co-owner of the folder,
    however, any co-owner cannot receive the expiration of the invitee of its child folder while owner receives all the expiration notification.

    We would like to request to cascade the scope of co-owner's privilege to its child folders so that the co-owner of the parent folder can receive all the expiration notification of the descendant folders.

  15. User management very slow at scale

    Overall the Admin Console is slow especially with searching for/updating a user profile. In some cases it can take about 2-3 minutes to find, update and confirm a user's account was changed.

    Individually this hasn't created a problem, but over time it does add up. If it takes 30 seconds to look up a user, another minute to update a user's account and then 30 more seconds to confirm the change, and you have to do this 50+ times a day that quickly adds up. I would like to see updating and confirming a user's account…

    We have rebuilt the Managed Users & External Users product areas in Admin Console. Let us know if your issues are resolved.

  16. Unmanaged Users Workflow

    Easier way to managed "unmanaged users" in the Admin Console.
    Currently, you have to run a report to find "unmanaged users" within the customers domain, then move the to managed, wait for their acceptance, then you can delete them.
    Current customer is frustrated that this cannot be completed in a seamless manner and will remain out of compliance if their users are not managed correctly. This should be a bit more seamless and less steps.

  17. Transfer Workflow Ownership (not sending it as a template but as a workflow)

    Recently the workflow ownership transfer has been released.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402945686291-Transferring-Your-Workflow-to-Another-User

    However, this is to make the template of the workflow that is needed to be transferred.

    There is a need to transfer the actual workflow for below reasons:

    1. the new owner needs to check the past workflow activity but with the template it is not possible
    2. since it is a template, the new owner still needs to make the workflow

    Thank you for your consideration.

    We definitely want to address this use case (new owner sees past workflow activity) but do not have plans to address it in the near term. We will update when we have a firmer idea of when this can be tackled.

  18. Please expand user name character field limit from 50 to 100 words.

    Global companies need local characters such as Japanese and English for name field and 50 is short for some names

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. Once we see more traction from customers who want are requesting this functionality, we can revisit our decision.

  19. Box Drive (Windows) - Remember folder view settings

    We’ve been using Box Drive since launch, and it’s been an incredible improvement in our workflow. Only a small issue has made it notably less useful in saving time, and is a known issue documented here (community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues..)

    Our file name and directory lengths are wider than the default for Box Drive/Windows. Normally Windows remembers preferences around column width, but in this case, as you know, Box Drive does not. This causes us to have to manually resize the “Name” field in every folder/directory, every time we access one. Therefore each user is having to do this perhaps dozens of times…

  20. Enhance description of "Shared Contacts" setting for User Permissions

    Area of product: Admin Console > choose admin/co-admin user > Edit user details > Edit User Access Permissions > Shared Contacts > description bubble

    Currently this describes "Allow this user to see all managed users. If enabled, this user will be able to access other managed users in their contacts when inviting collaborators. External users will not show up in their contacts unless they are already collaborating with each other."

    However, if this is unchecked it also prohibits Admins/Co-Admins from searching for managed users in Reporting and other areas of the Admin Console. Which is not…
