box drive metadata
With some of the new updates coming to Metadata, I'd like to request that Box Drive be able to support updates to Metadata on a folder/file.
As a start, a context menu option that would take a user directly to the metadata page.13 votesThanks for the feedback! This isn’t currently planned, but please keep the use cases coming to help us prioritize it.

Target users for EMM mobile clients
Currently if an organisation wishes to enable the Enterprise Mobility Management version of the mobile clients they have to enable it at a global level.
We would like to be granular with this. We're a University and I want to enforce all staff users to use the EMM client but not students (their uni data is not considered "sensitive").
Please can Box allow granular assigned of EMM users?
In our use case we have just under 3,600 user who require EMM but 17,000 users do not.
13 votesCurrently not planned, but in the meantime we recommend using separate EIDs as a workaround.

We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive.
We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive. We encountered an issue and confusion with Box Drive. One day, Box Drive didn't start up. We assumed that the shortcut icon on the desktop wasn't working properly. Therefore, we went to [C:\Users*UserAccount*] and found a shortcut icon which was exactly the same as the one on the desktop. We thought this icon was the shortcut to Box Drive, so we moved this shortcut icon to the desktop, and all of a sudden, the contents in Box were all moved to…

Support Drag & Drop from Box Web App to Outlook
Please enable the ability to drag and drop files FROM Box Web App TO Outlook email client (including the option to insert them as links OR to add them as normal attachments). Currently there is no native Drag and Drop functionality available between the Box Web App and Outlook. Therefore, the process to add file attachments/links to emails via the Web App or Outlook Plug-In is actually currently LESS efficient with BOX than without it. Since BOX Drive is not available for virtual clients (such as Terminal Server or Citrix), their only option is to use the Web App or…

automated report options in box
It would be great in Box to be able to set up reports we need on a recurring basis to run ron a recurring basis as needed rather than having to manually run the same report each time we need. If this feature could be implemented, that would be wonderful.

Be able to sort tag search results by name, not just "relevance" and "updated"
When you search for a tag, your only options to sort the results are by "relevance" and "updated". It would be VERY helpful to be able to sort by name on a tag search.

Support for "custom domains" (not just sub-domains).
Add support for custom domains (not just sub-domains). We already use the sub-domain, but we find that box.com is blocked by counter parties, for security/DLP reasons
Having this ability would more easily allow other firms to white list our site without opening up ever Box account under the sun.

We would like the ability to put a specific Matadata as our home page.
We would like the ability to select certain Matadata as our home page. This would allow for us to really customize our home page to our specific needs and the ability to adjust it easily, vs using the favorites.

Box Shield
Can we have more granular on the detection rules, e,g, down to user groups, or individual account level - allowing customers to set priorities as high for some user groups, but low for others. For some users, a customer may expect high levels of downloads/activity in Box and this may be in peaks and troughs - therefore potentially a lower priority, whereas with execs this activity should be treated as a higher priority and greater risk.

Rethink Box Notes as a Collaborative Tool
Many of the comments about Box Notes, and the shortcomings that make them seem only marginally useful to me, arise from them being treated/implemented as something totally "other", compared to other file types that one might load into Box.
Unlike other files, Box acts as if Notes all belong together rather than in the user's folder structure, and they have their own type of page or tab that is confusingly different from the standard Box interface, rather than simply opening up in an editing window if the user wants to make changes. An editing window would be much more intuitive,…

Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors for Owner/Co-Owner and Editor
Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors.
Share for Owner/ Co-Owner and Editor also includes the ability to InviteShare for Viewer Uploader and Viewer only allows you to share a link to people in the folder. So essentially they can only ’share’ with people it has already been share with.
I’d like to see either:
- Add Invite as a descriptor for Owner, Co-Owner and Editor > I like Invite as it is explicit OR
- Change Share to Share Link to Viewer and Viewer Uploader > still a little confusing because you can’t really share w/ anyone that does not already…

Create new permission level to allow sharing without destructive privileges
Create new permissions levels in Box to provide more flexibility:
Permissions/ Roles (ie. Editor, Viewer, etc.):
There is no ability to add someone to a folder and allow them to Invite other persons without giving them destructive permissions > Edit and Delete (Editor Role) >
Viewer Inviter (not sure I like the name, but it goes well w/ the previous request) > Upload, download, preview and Invite
This would allow the user to invite others, but not have destructive permissions. I could actually make two new roles and change Viewer Uploader:
Editor Lite > Upload, download, preview, invite, share and…

Report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.
We would like to be able to automatically mark a user on Box as inactive. Also, would like to see a report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.
One example would be the below:
I'll give you an example - we have integrated our AD with Adobe, so that when a user is disabled in AD, their Adobe product licenses are also automatically removed and therefore available to use for the new users. We add users to security groups in AD to assign the licenses. When the Adobe connector pulls the user data…

Display pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started
Please display a pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started (or in other words, users are able to open contents).
We own a lot of content - this makes Box Drive take a long time checking the updated contents and starting up.
This is causing delays of Box Drive being launched.
If a notification pops up when Box Drive is ready to start accessing contents, users would not have to check the status of Box Drive so frequently.
Instead, they could work on other things while waiting for Box Drive to start.1 vote -
Ability to restrict fonts based on OS across all platforms
Wants a setting to restrict the usage of characters that are restricted in the OS. for example, Box webapp allows more characters that Windows OS allows. This result in inconsistency when using Box Drive, what appears in Box Drive and what actually exists in Webapp.
