Linking NS records to existing Box folders located in NS integration folder
We would like to be able to link NS records to Box folders that are located in the NS integration folder. For example, we would like to store all of our opportunity content in a folder structure that rolls up to the customer. Knowing the default folder will be created underneath the opportunity structure, we'd like to link the opp record to a folder that "lives" in the customer folder structure.
We are currently not able to do this and continually get the error: The Box SuiteApp is not set as an owner or co-owner of this folder. Please add…

Provide a way to get a list of DevicePins for a specific Box User using the Box API
Currently if you want to delete all device pins for a user, you must
- pull the complete list of device pins for your enterprise
- seach through the results for a specific user
- for each device pin found, destroy it.
It would really help to be able to call
/enterprises/{enterpriseid}/devicepinners/{userboxid}
and get the device pins for that user.This feature is already available in the GUI.

Share Box Forms with co-owners
Can you enable the ability to share a Box Form with another user as a co-owner or editor?
For example, if I create a Form, and then leave the company, a co-owner could still use it or make edits.

Box Drive (Windows) - Remember folder view settings
We’ve been using Box Drive since launch, and it’s been an incredible improvement in our workflow. Only a small issue has made it notably less useful in saving time, and is a known issue documented here (community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues..)
Our file name and directory lengths are wider than the default for Box Drive/Windows. Normally Windows remembers preferences around column width, but in this case, as you know, Box Drive does not. This causes us to have to manually resize the “Name” field in every folder/directory, every time we access one. Therefore each user is having to do this perhaps dozens of times…

For release details, see https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/43804162052627-Box-Drive-v2-47-for-Windows-Release-Notes.

About the scope of expiration notice to co-owners.
Currently the expiration of the invited user to a folder is notified to the owner and co-owner of the folder,
however, any co-owner cannot receive the expiration of the invitee of its child folder while owner receives all the expiration notification.We would like to request to cascade the scope of co-owner's privilege to its child folders so that the co-owner of the parent folder can receive all the expiration notification of the descendant folders.

A User activity report on folders created only
We are looking to generate a user activity report on folders created only. Currently, user activity has file management > uploaded as an option which will include files uploaded and folders created but we would just like folders created and not files uploaded.

"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!

access Deny Authority
The permissions of the parent folder are inherited by the subordinate folder, but I want to be able to add a setting to deny access only to specific users or groups in the subordinate folder. Or I want to be able to set the permission settings so that they are not inherited by subordinates. This is a function that can be realized with existing file servers.
上位フォルダの権限が下位フォルダへ継承されますが、下位フォルダにおいて、特定のユーザーやグループに対してのみアクセス拒否する設定を追加できるようにしたい。もしくは権限設定を下位に継承しないようにする設定ができるようにしたい。既存のファイルサーバーでは実現できている機能

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.

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
-Auto-unlock upon closing the file30 votesWe 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/.

Allow users to set Sort Preferences
Users should be able to save default sort preferences.
Currently I see "Least Recently Updated" documents first, which is never helpful.
I have to manually re-set the sort preference in every folder I work in.15 votes -
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.

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 -
Box Hub Image Previews for External Users
Image previews in a Box Hub are not available unless logged in. We love the Box Hubs internally and would love for them to be as helpful and useful for non-users.

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.

Email Notifications for Expiring External Collaborators
In addition to the owner of the folder receiving a notification that a collaboration is expiring, the user who initiated (invited) the collaborator, and the collaborator themselves receive notifications.

We want users to be able to output a "folder and file" report for each folder.
(Japanese follows English)
Currently, only administrators can output the "Folders and Files" report.
We would like users with editor permissions for the target folder to be able to output a "Folder and File" report for each folder.
At that time, We would like to be able to select whether the report will be output to that folder or the output destination.現在、「フォルダとファイル」レポートは管理者しか出力できません。
対象のフォルダに対し編集者権限を持つユーザーが、フォルダ単位で「フォルダとファイル」レポートを
出力できるようにしてほしいです。
その際レポートの出力先はそのフォルダ内か、出力先を選択できると望ましいです。49 votes
