1. Enforce parent folder collaboration restrictions on moved folders

   Make sure that folder settings apply to all the subfolders. Currently, even if you restrict collaboration to within your company through folder settings, a folder that is already collaborated to external users can be moved into that folder. Right now, we don’t have the mechanism to check if a folder that is about to be moved is collaborated to external user.

2. "inactive" or "archive" flag maps to less-expensive storage

   FEATURE IDEA:
   Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.

   BENEFITS & BACKGROUND

   During the Box Higher Education Community Monthly Open Discussion on January 11th, an idea to submit to Box Pulse was formed, and seemed to have support from all in attendance (25-30 institutions).

   Box acknowledges that there is a growing concern around constantly increasing storage, and the costs associated with it. The majority of files stored in Box are perceived (or actively reported) as being "inactive" and yet those files are costing Box and their customers the same amount. As a result, organizations are searching for alternative cost-effective solutions to move their data into. Implementing a separate solution for a subset of Box data requires significant technical, administrative, procedural, and support overhead.

   Given a user or admin-driven active/inactive flag, Box could engineer their platform to use cheaper back-end storage for inactive data, and more permanent storage for active data, ultimately providing a more cost-effective service.

   Administrators could be given the ability to set the parameters for what makes something an "inactive" file, and then allow end-users to tag their own content.

   Allowing a view and controls around "active" vs "inactive" content, means Box could then provide X amount of "active" storage, and Y amount of "inactive" storage quota either included in the price, or for an additional fee (at better a less-expensive per TB rate). Organizations can then choose to deploy the associated quota controls and processes based on their own budget and needs for active and inactive storage.

   Market opportunity -- other cloud  providers do not provide user-initiated controls for this kind of approach to data storage and management. If the providers are implementing anything like this, it is not transparent to the user. Box may have an opportunity to retain users and their data, by providing a more cost-effective glacier/cold-line/archive/inactive data storage offering, side-by-side with the rest of the Box platform.

   Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.

   Box storage platform already has optimizations in place to intelligently detect active (most recently and frequently used) data, and migrate it to cost-effective tiers. Great suggestion though!

4. Box Sign - Get a Copy option should be logged in the User Activity Log

   Box Sign, but it appears that cases set to "Get a Copy" are not logged in the User Activity Report. From an administrative standpoint, this is a problem, and we would like to see the report improved so that it can be logged.

   Setting a copy to one's private email address or to the email address of a colluding third party is dangerous from a security standpoint because it allows the information to be retrieved from the box without being logged.

   Box Sign's signature log is not a solution to the problem, as it can be erased with authorization.

6. Present metadata more prominent when selecting a file from a folder file list

   Metadata will be shown for a selected file in the lowest level of the Details area. Practically no user knows that metadata exists for that file. So metadata should be presented more prominent, or get an extra area.

7. Restricted export of content insight reports by non-administrative users.

   There is a function to export Content Insights access statistics, but if you restrict content creation and prohibit the creation of first-level folders, you will not be able to export it.
   https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696594
   However, anyone who owns a folder called "Box Reports" can export Content Insights Reports, even if they don't have admin permissions.

   ＜request＞
   As stated in the article, restrict non-admin users from exporting Content Insights reports.
   *Do not make an exception for the owner of the "Box Reports" folder
   We do not want users without administrative privileges to be able to export this report, as this would reduce the chances of a malicious user maliciously exporting the report to near zero.

8. See and share full path from Box Drive

   A function that enables to share Box Drive location/path between users.

   When using Box Drive on a daily bases, it is inconvenient that the user needs to open the link on the browser once to identify the specific location/folder path.

   It would improve to shorten the work flow if the users can see the full path from Box Drive so that they don’t have to go through the process to open box.com.

9. 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 under 30 seconds total if possible.

   Ideally we do more than update user's accounts. In some cases we need to confirm an account is simply active and again this adds up.

10. Improve Box Drive memory usage

    Box recommend 4GB of RAM as minimum system specifications. But 4GB of RAM is not enough since Box Drive tends to use more than 1GB memory when a user open folder which has a lot of items. Therefore the fetching function should be improved to run efficiently on 4GB of RAM

13. Enhanced Locking Experience on Sync (mimic file server experience) - Auto-Lock & Unlock

    Adapt the Box Sync / Box for Desktop lock/unlock experience to mimic the standard locking UX that users are familiar with from Windows file servers.
    Example screenshot from file server UX: https://cloud.box.com/s/4px71vfralrlpnj6x9sdeoquyxdellg6

    Key Components:
    -Pop-up upon double-clicking a file to ask user if they'd like to check out (lock) a file or open a read-only version
    -Auto-unlock upon closing the file

    We currently do not have any new features planned for Box Sync. This is something that is under consideration for Box Drive. Please see that request here: https://pulse.box.com/admin/v3/suggestions/35983087/.

14. Make changes and collaboration within BoxNotes more obvious: show when users have made changes, show deleted content/versions, etc.

    Differences: show changes for a particular time period. e.g., Smartsheet lets you see changes for the last day, week, month, year, etc.
    Differences: show changes for particular users; maybe a different color for each user or some popup or marker next to the line showing who made the changes
    Differences doesn't show anything that was deleted. I suppose since there's nothing to highlight. Perhaps consider keeping the text with a strikethrough or perhaps an indicator on that line to show/hide the text that was deleted

15. Please Allow an Approval or Denial workflow for Auto Roll-in user creaiton

    Please allow for Admins to allow or deny auto roll-in requests.

    While I understand we can be notified of user creation and take action from there, it would be more beneficial for organization to approve or deny requests to roll in.

    At the very least, allow us the option to block the requests or have a custom message that directs the user to their helpdesk or IT to get the account permissions. This would seriously help us be more secure while avoiding contract violations.

19. Canvas feature improvements

    After trying Canvas it looks like in order to get more use out of this compared to other open white board on the market it really does need allow more flexibility and improvements such as:

    1. Ability to allow GIF's for presentations.
    2. Allow links/ bookmark to files within box within a text box.
    3. Allow preview box of a video or crop a video within box to show a snippet of the video for presentation.
    4. Allow a preview link/ bookmark to Audio file to play.
    5. Currently drawn notes or shapes only allow corners to expand, it would help to add in side anchor points to adjust size on the edges as well.
    6. Allow links from anything made within canvas to link/ bookmark to any box file type.
    7. Have notifications notify all users added to the Canvas or invited to let them know if a user is updating the Canvas.
    8. Improve the bottom left overview map to be able to click on the zone to jump to that location.
    9. Ability to save your own templates and access them in the templates button and reuse them for future use.
    10. Allow a user name/ time/ date stamp to add to each object added by a user so other users know who added the object and when.
    11. Allow comment box or note box to be added to each object within canvas OR provide a link to that object within the comments pane on the right hand side for users to be able to link what they have done.
    12. Add in animations for more flare and general interesting improvements to the look of the canvas. Example : animated note outlines/ animated flow arrows linking objects
    13. Ability to add and create basic tables with links/ bookmarks within them from the text.
    14. Ability to add in zoom in animation for presentations to move seamlessly to each zone specified or specific object.
    15. Ability to produce presentations with an active popup/ media pane that has a back/ forward/ play function.
    16. Ability to select multiple objects and group them together
    17. Ability to link text box or whole group to a box task
    18. Ability to import links to other features Example: Box note/ word/ google docs... etc etc
    19. Add a 'Help' popup window that shows a list of shortcuts that the user can use. Right now after testing it a little i know i can use on a mac: Copy, paste, duplicate. I am unsure what else i can do.

    I really appreciate the idea of having Canvas for box.com this is a great addition so i really hope features like these get added in as you see these features in allot of whiteboards online. Thank you for Canvas so far its a nice addition i look forward to seeing what comes next.

20. Export menu of the Access Statistics for non-administrators

    【Request】
    I would like you to make the access statistics export menu available to non-administrative users.
    I think this can be achieved by allowing the user to select the destination folder after clicking the export menu.

    【Current status and issues】
    Currently, only co-administrators or administrators who have the authority to output reports can export access statistics.
    General users other than administrators can check the access statistics, but cannot export them to a file.

    The PR department has voiced the desire to export access statistics to a file.
    However, we do not want to give them co-administrator privileges because of the following problems.
    I don't want to give co-administrator privileges because of the following problems:
    - It is possible to output reports on activities of other departments.
    - The co-administrators are not covered by device trust.

    【Use cases (raised by users)】
    - Confirmation of viewing results for videos released internally
    →Format the exported file and compare it with the user list to find unviewed users
    →Format the exported file and compare it with the list of users and their departments to understand the trend.

    Therefore, it would be great if you could make it possible for non-administrators to export access statistics.
