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…

Prevent unintended sharing for Box Hub sharing links
We have set the "Default access for shared links" in [Admin Console > Enterprise Settings > Content and Sharing], but when I issue a shared link in Box Hubs, a shared link is issued for "people in your company."
This is because Hubs' own shared link default settings (people in your company) are applied. "Invited peple only" would be used when shared link is not allowed for company usres in Enterprise settings.
When issuing shared links for Box Hubs, administrators will also need to set "Default access for shared links."
The aim is to prevent people from accidentally sharing a …6 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.

Metadata triggers without folder specification
--I want Box Relay to be able to kick workstreams off in sub-folders that don't exist yet. We have a general "Accounts" folder, and I want my metadata tag triggers to affect sub folders in that parent folder. However, the metadata trigger requires me to specify which specific folder to trigger the Relay within. I suggest one of two things:
1. Remove the need for folder specification. If I have a metadata trigger, do I really need to specify the folder in which the content lives? Relay should scan for that metadata tag, wherever it occurs.
2. Allow for…16 votesThanks for your feedback. We’re exploring introducing new cascading triggers or system-wide workflows which would address this issue.

Allow inheritance in folder structure
Windows allows for folders to enable or disable inheritance from Parent folder to Child folders. This is needed in BOX so collaborators who don't need access or shouldn't have access to certain Child folders within a Parent folder can still navigate where access is needed and not expose sensitive data.

Increase number of folders in move/copy window
This is currently at 500 folders. Over 500 folders and we have to search. New folders take 15 minutes to index in a Search.

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.

Set Custom Time for File Request or Shared Link expiration
Have the ability to set an expiration time in the Web App on the Box File Request. The use case is a submission use case where the need is to have uploads shut off at 3pm vs the default of 11:59pm. The ability to set a different time can only be done at the API/CLI level for the Shared Link only and not the File Request. In addition, you can not set a time within the WebApp for either. This functionality could be extended to other use cases with collaborator access shut off at a specific time of day.

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.

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.

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!

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

Use "collaboration via shared link" while "restricting collaboration to within enterprise" feature at the same time.
Currently, if "restrict collaboration to within enterprise" is checked, then "collaboration via shared link" feature is disabled.

Custom scope feature for Shared Links
We would like to request the addition of a feature that allows content sharing to be set narrower than "company users" and broader than "invited users only" in "Enterprise Settings" using groups.
As a result, in organizations such as educational institutions where customers such as children, pupils, and students exist within the same tenant, it will be possible to guarantee the fairness of sharing safely within a limited range without collaboration.

Secure open link - Domain white list for open shared link
This request is an idea that will become possible after the following requests are realized.
Secure open link① - Require email address verification with one-time password
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/43755942-secure-open-link-require-email-address-verifica【Summary】

Compared to attachments, the ability to determine the information of the access source and the ability to block access…15 votes -
Move "Log in" green banner when viewing shared link while not signed into Box
If you view a shared link while you're not signed into Box, you'll see a green banner at the top: "Log in to Box to securely share, edit, and collaborate on files in real-time with other people." The banner blocks the "Download" button on the right. While there is an X to close the banner, there are two issues:
1) Less tech-savvy people don't know to close the banner and can't figure out how to download
2) Others may think you need a Box account in order to access the contentIt would be helpful to either move the banner…
