Have the ability to retroactively expire shared links.
If I understand correctly, the only way we can go back and fix this for existing folders is to create an application that does this through the API or send a request to end users to fix folders they own. Is that correct?
It might be helpful to include a functionality in the future that allows an Admin to reset that setting for existing folders in the environment.

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.

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.

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.

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 deleted11 votes -
"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…
37 votesBox 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!

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.

Ability to include the name of the triggered file in the subject line when sending Relay notifications
We would like to be able to include the name of the triggered file in the subject line when sending Relay notifications.
We want to be able to easily check which file the notification is for when the user who received the notification receives the notification email.

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

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/4px71vfralrlpnj6x9sdeoquyxdellg6Key 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

Sorting Collections.
When using "Collections", I want to change the order of them. It would be nice if the user could freely sort the collections. This makes the box easier to use.

Enhance description of "Shared Contacts" setting for User Permissions
Area of product: Admin Console > choose admin/co-admin user > Edit user details > Edit User Access Permissions > Shared Contacts > description bubble
Currently this describes "Allow this user to see all managed users. If enabled, this user will be able to access other managed users in their contacts when inviting collaborators. External users will not show up in their contacts unless they are already collaborating with each other."
However, if this is unchecked it also prohibits Admins/Co-Admins from searching for managed users in Reporting and other areas of the Admin Console. Which is not…

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.

Include timestamp (start and end) of an activity on report
User wants to know the start and end times when moving files within Box. Since there is no way other than leaving a record of the user starting the process on report, we would like you to add this record for the user activity report.

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.

Skip SSO login for Microsoft Teams
Please can we implement this to save all Box + Teams users getting prompted to login to Box from Teams after every Teams launch? (Staff are using SharePoint instead of Box as the user experience is easier)

Automatic Box Canvas Creation Based on Instructions to Box AI
Currently, Box Canvas provides templates, but users still need to create the content themselves each time, which can be burdensome.
To further reduce user workload, I would like to request a feature that allows Box AI to automatically generate a Box Canvas output based on user instructions.
Box AIへの指示でBox Canvasを自動作成：
現在、Box Canvasにはテンプレートが用意されているが、ユーザー自身が毎回コンテンツを作成する必要があり、負担が大きいです。
ユーザーの負担をさらに軽減するために、ユーザーの指示に基づいてBox AIが自動的にBox Canvasを出力する機能を追加してほしい。22 votes
