Add new Variables to Box Relay for Naming
In Box Relay, I find the additional variables in the Naming of Folders and Files, such as the Trigger Date, to be very helpful. However, I would like to suggest including a new variable that would reference "Workflow Starter".
Workflow Starter variable could potentially include:
- User's email
- User's Last and First name
- User's Box ID
By incorporating this variable, I would be able to effectively organize incoming files into folders named after the user who uploaded them.
Thank you!

Create exceptions for auto-expiration of sharing and external collaborators
We have auto-expiration on file sharing but often need to share files with external collaborators for an indefinite amount of time. We can't keep re-sharing the file. Same for external collaborators - we have auto-expiration but we can't keep re-sharing folders with them.

Content Manager - allow all folder transfer for all folders owned by one person to another
Using the superadmin box account, I can transfer ownership by folder. This is nice when I want to transfer 1-2 folders, but when a person leaves the university and that person owns 17 different folders in Box, changing ownership is a very manual task. Keep the change ownership model (under Content Manager), but also have an option that allows me to transfer all folders owned by one person to another - be it 2 folders or 20 or 200. Please.

I want to share only the necessary folders and files on the BOX drive
Since it is troublesome to access BOX.com, I usually access and edit the necessary folders and files from the BOX drive, but it would be convenient to be able to display only the necessary folders and files. Currently, when you open a folder with "Windows + E", all the folders and files in "All files" of BOX.com are displayed on the BOX drive, but you do not access all of these, and you can save files that are accessed infrequently. I think you should check BOX.com to confirm.
I think it would be useful to have options such as "Share…2 votes -
Configuring the Default Box Drive Folder Location
In the latest version of Box Drive and OS it is no longer possibly to change the file path to a shared folder. This is causing many linking issues for my team as we work within shared files. Would love for this to be reconsidered again and put it the next box update.

Admin creates an order for the items in a certain folder and when that folder is shared it stays in that order!
When an admin (such as myself) creates an order for the items in a certain folder, and then that folder is shared, it should stay in that order! I have been coming into serious issues with this situation and I really would like box to be able to fix the glitch. It is very frustrating and I have called and emailed numerous amounts of times complaining about it and no one has done anything. For example, I was in my own account and had 3 things in one folder labeled Promo, Part 1, and Part 2. It was in…

User reporting or user visibility to their own content via 'my' content manager
We want to enable our users with reporting capabilities.
The admins use content manager heavily. We think it would be great for users to also have a high level view of their owned and shared content.
These reports/view could include: File/folder index of folders and documents they currently own and share.

Display folders owned by outbound collaborator when Admin instant login to managed user account
When Administrator instant login to managed user's account, it is not possible to see the shared folder from outbound collaborator. It makes it difficult for Administrator to monitor activities on outbound collaborations.
It is not required to allow Administrator seeing anything, but if they can at least see folder name and owner for outbound collaboration it could benefit Administrator

Support for MacOS Smart Folders with Box Drive
We need a better mechanism to identify files that have been updated within a given time period at a user level.
Currently, we rely upon email notifications, but Box email notifications are currently getting filtered on our network. The Smart Folders ability would address this problem.

Shared link permissions enterprise default
A way to force reset everyone to the enterprise default for shared link permission level.
+
A setting that would allow only a subset of users to have the broader level of sharing – say there is opt 1 – people in company / opt 2 people in company + invited / opt 3 people in company + invited + anyone with the linkEx. So the enterprise default for all users would be locked down to a max of option 2 (giving users opt 1 & 2 as choices) – we could allow a small subset option 3 (giving…

Report on Folder Security settings changes
Would like changes to Folder Security settings to show in the Event stream and in Usage Logs. Since all Owners and Co-Owners of folders have access to these configurations, this is crucial to tracking changes to the security of sensitive content.

Filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy"
Would like to have the ability to filter folders by date modified when selecting "Move or Copy." Currently files are organized by alpha and I have to scroll through files to find the one I recently created.

Automatically remove external collaborators at the folder level
We want the ability to automatically remove external collaborators after a certain period of time, and we want to be able to customize this depending on the folder in question.
Currently, we can expire external collaborators at the global Enterprise level but this behavior isn't desirable across all folders.
We want to be able to set external collab expiration at the folder level with the ability for different folders to have different expiration periods when the collaborators would be automatically removed.
20 votesThanks for the feedback! However, this is an edge use case which would add complexity to the product. We will review this with additional demand.

Copy All Folder Settings when copying a Folder
When copying a folder, all folder settings should be copied over as well (or have the option to do so). As is, some settings do copy over while others don't. For example:
Can Copy: Restrict Collaboration to within ETF, Disable Commenting, Shared Link Access, Watermarking, Uploading (Overwrite files) and Email notifications
Won't Copy: Only Folder owners and co-owners can send collab invites, Hide Collaborators, Allow Uploads to this folderThis would be especially useful when copying a template folder with a folder structure that needs the same settings when copied for a new project/customer/etc.

The "Invoices from box" folder where invocies are dropped can not be moved.
For easier rights management and avoiding "shared folder" ****, we opted to have one shared folder across our company with sub-folders for each department.
Said folder is shared with our accounting department.
I moved the folder "Invoices from box" from my root folder to the accounting department sub folder but each month when an invoice is issued it appears again in my root folder.
I propose that box.com remembers the folder ID of the "Invoices from box" folder and used that instead of the absolute path of the folder to drop their invoices.
