  2. Add ability to set time for reminder notifications by each user or admin.

    Currently assignee will receive reminder notification 24 hours before the due date of the assigned task. Users are receiving these reminders at mid of night and they want to receive them in daytime.

    Box Relay can set the default due ("time to complete" option) like how many days and hours.
    This default due is set automatically based on when the task is started. So for many cases, the reminder will be sent out because the task is started in daytime.

    But non-Relay task (General and Approval task) can set only due date from calendar picker, like "June 16". The due…

  3. Email notifications for uploads to a folder are very delayed

    We would like to request the email service that is responsible for sending upload notifications to be in real time so we do not waste time having to double check with collaborators if they have uploaded something yet.

  5. Box Legal Hold Export API

    The current Box Legal Hold Exports function becomes difficult to manage at scale. The export process itself generates "batch" zip files that need to be manually downloaded via the user interface. Because the zip files are limited to 5,000 files or aprox 16 GB, I have one user to export who has over 500 "batch" zip files to download. The API does not support directly downloading these batch files. A way to bulk download or programmatically download these batch files is essential when exporting a very large (either in pure storage size or in number of files) user hold.

  6. Show the whole email address and file path in the notification email when a file is downloaded/accessed

    In current email notifications, we cannot (a) tell which organizations are accessing which files, (b) which projects they are accessing.

  8. Identify locally any failed uploads

    Hi, we have had users send entire folders with dozens if not hundreds of subfolders up to Box via Box Drive. In some cases, since they aren't reviewing all of the content they are uploading, there are some failures (inappropriate file or folders names, unsupported file types, etc). Box Drive names the failed uploads but offers no way to identify them in the Box Drive folder structure on the local machine. There are no icon changes that might identify those containing folders which have the failed uploads within them. A simple right click in the notification to show the offending…

  9. API to execute and export Box report or notification services to receive alarts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.

    We would like to better monitor and manage the number of chargeable API calls, but without relying on manual checks via the Insights dashboard or executing and reviewing the Platform Activity Report (PAR). Instead, we seek a more automated and efficient solution.

    Specifically, we request that Box either:

    Provide a public API to retrieve relevant usage reports, or

    Enhance the existing reporting functionality to allow administrators or designated users to receive alerts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.

    This would help ensure appropriate and proactive API usage management.

  10. Custom Columns (with sort) for Users and Groups

    Custom Columns (with sort) for Users and Groups

    The current Admin console defaults to the below columns with no way to customize for better productivity:
    Name
    Email
    User ID
    Role
    Status
    Storage Used

    This request would allow the Main admin account to customize which columns are displayed while looking at your Users and Groups page. These custom column choices can be chosen from the custom Tags (which are already a feature). Allowing important information to be seen at a glance rather than having to go into each user to get additional pertinent information.
    Some examples of custom columns may be: …

  11. approve TOS via Salesfotce integration

    you cant approve TOS through the SF integration. you get the notification, they you click agree, then there is a white screen and nothing happens.... then you need to approve again.
    looks like a bug.
    you can only approve via webapp.
    very frustratins

    you should have same capabilities via the SF integration as we get on webapp.

  13. Augment existing collaborator permissions in inherited subfolders

    Scenario:

    Folder A is shared with User X with Viewer permission
    Folder B is a subfolder of Folder A, on which User X requires Editor permission

    According to support, the only way to accomplish this in the web UI is to first remove User X as a collaborator on Folder A, add them as an Editor on Folder B, and then re-add them as a Viewer on Folder A

    This is clunky, annoying, and results in a lot of extra notifications.

    Clearly this is supported by the underlying file system because you can do it directly with the Box…

  15. Use Box (cloud, not drive) as browser's download location

    I need a solution for preventing files downloaded from the web from being saved directly to my device. This puts sensitive client information on the device and requires me to delete the file after uploading it to Box, and hackers can still find information on a hard drive that has been "deleted". It would be much more secure if I could select Box as the browser's location where all downloads are stored. It seems this should be possible with Box's browser extension.

    Box Drive is not an acceptable solution for this since it is just as accessible as all the…

  16. Option to send notifications when a change is made to a shared file

    Have an option to send notifications whenever a change is made to a shared file. I don't want this for every file all the time, but in certain situations this is very helpful - for example, when I'm asking people to add information to an Excel sheet.

  17. Setting to be notified when a specific file, folder, or note is modified.

    We have a team that needs to be notified when a Note is modified. They are using comments to achieve this. It would be a great setting option to receive notifications on modifications to a specific file, folder or note.
    Please let me know if there is a solution for this that I am not aware of.

  18. GDPR- PII Detection

    Increase PII detection templates from just three Social Security no, Credit card and Custom text to more as offered by other DLP products in the marketplace.

    In addition to real-time detection, also allow discovery of the legacy data utilizing the same templates. Notification on detection could include an on-screen warning/ policy tip in addition to email and file quarantine options etc.

  19. View Owner/Creator of Files in Box Drive

    We would like the ability to display accurate information about the Owner/creator of files within Box Drive for Windows. The Owner column in Windows was used prior to our migration to Box to show who originally created the file for a folder all in a single glance. Although Box.com shows the upload history of individual files, it's a manual process of viewing each file-- a pain point-- compared to the table view of File Explorer with the Owner column displaying. Currently, within Box Drive/File Explorer, the Owner column is empty. This would be useful for the users to know who…

  20. Access Box AI via search bar. Generate Box AI insights from ALL internal Box content that I have permission to, not just individual files

    E.g. we have years of contracts and legal research on a variety of different issues - articles, contract templates, white papers, screenshots, etc.

    We would like to have Box AI trained on our own research and contracts, that can help generate contract clauses - like, "based on our own data, generate a warranty provision for a client that operates a SaaS data storage service" with a result that provides suggestions and Box links back to the documents where it found those suggestions.

    I believe there are legal tech companies rushing to create these kinds of legal tools, but we wanted…
