  2. Date and time functions will not work correctly in shared Excel file

    When an external collaborator opens a shared link of an Excel file (with 'People with the link' option selected) without logging into box, date and time functions will not work correctly.
    This should be fixed, as it would easily bring about confusion.

  3. Prevent Users from navigating to other folders when using Salesforce

    Currently the Box for Salesforce integration utilizes a simple embed widget, which allows a user to navigate out of the associated Box folder to other areas of their Box account, all while still in the same Salesforce case. This is a security and use concern for some customers as files can be accidentally uploaded to folders not related to the current case. From a UI perspective, simply taking away the file path buttons would get the job done.

    Delivered in Box for Salesforce v4.59. This setting can be found under Box Settings>Advanced Setup>Mapping and Folder Customization. https://support.box.com/hc/articles/33944755044115-Box-for-Salesforce-Release-Notes-v4-59

  4. Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications beyond 25 so that we can classify each clients content to prevent mis-sharing

    I would like to see the ability to add Shield Classifications per client - with the appropriate access policy (restricting to client email domain) we could avoid any possibility to overshare when inviting the wrong clients into a folder or sharing a shared link - There is a maximum number of classifications of 25 so could this be extended to facilitate this use case/control.

  5. Folders to which only managed users can be invited

    【Request】
    Regarding the "Restrict collaboration to within {OrganizationName}" setting in the folder settings,
    I would like the definition of users recognized as users in the organization to be selectable from the following two options
    ・Users who have same domains OR Managed Users (Same as current specifications)
    ・Only Managed Users

    【Current specifications & Issues】
    Currently, for folders with this setting turned on, users can invite others who meet either of the following conditions
    - Managed users of the tenant
    - Users with a Box account with an email address in the registered domain

    As it stands, this specification allows free accounts…

  6. Adding direct links dialog to the shared links dialog popup

    There really needs to be a way that the direct links dialog could be moved to the Shared Links dialog box so that you don't have to have multiple click to just to get a direct link to an image file. At the current time, it's a lengthy process to create direct image links. See the attached files and please fix this!

    This is currently not on the roadmap as we have not heard this request from many other customers.

    We will consider it in the future if there is increased customer demand.

  8. adding code to end of URL so content displays expanded automatically when a folder link is shared.

    Can you add some sort of feature so that we can control how content in folders display when we share folder links? Right now, content automatically displays in a list view and then you can zoom in to show a larger/expanded view of content.

    Can you make it so that we can add code to the end of the url link that will make the content display in the expanded view automatically? Or is there another way to change the preferences so that when we share folder links it automatically displays the content expanded?

    Thanks!

  10. Ability to mirror documents in other root folders

    Our organization utilizes the collaboration with external users to give them access to view one specific folder relative to their client account. We do not want these users to have access to our main folder that houses the original documents for their client account, but rather only this one specific folder that has a copy of selected documents relative to their positions on the Board. Right now, we have to manually upload or delete new documents to both folders. If there is a change to our original document, we have to manually upload the new version to the copy…

    Hello, if we understand your request correctly, you could use the bookmark feature to bookmark a link to specific files so the Board will always be routed to the up-to-date version of the original document but not be able to view the rest of the items in the main folder.

  11. Manage Folders and Files by Other Users

    I recently noticed that, as an administrator/owner of The Animal League of Green Valley account, I cannot see folders and files deleted by other users.

    This caused a serious problem when a user accidentally deleted a folder and then left for an extended leave.

    I expected to be able to enter "Trash", see the folder and restore it; however, it was not visible to me.

    Fortunately, we were able to contact the user who deleted the folder, and that person was able to restore it, but the situation could have been much worse, disastrous actually.

    It seems to me that…

  12. Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view

    Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view.

    These files and folders would still be searchable via the search bar, but they would be hidden from All Files.

    Also include the ability to review all files and folders that I've previously hidden in a separate "Hidden" tab, similar to how there is a "Recents" tab and "Notes" tab.

  13. Drag and drop files or use file ID or folder ID

    When you want to add single files or folders, it would be great to be able to add them simply using their IDs or dragging them from another Box window

  15. Folder access expiration date for internal and external users access to folders

    Add a feature to allow user's access to folders to expire on a pre-set date that can be determined at the time you are adding them as a collaborator. We have various students and interns floating through our department that only need temporary access to certain folders and its become incredibly challenging to go back and remove access on a rolling basis.

  16. Flag mutliple folders for Offline User

    Currently, in order to mark a folder/file for offline, you have to do it individually. It would be nice to have the ability to drag select folders/file and have the context menu provide the option to mark grouped items as available, as you might with any other native Windows function.

  17. Unify the operation when tapping a shared link on a mobile terminal.

    When you tap the shared link pasted in an email etc.
    I currently understand that the behavior will be as follows.

    ・ When you tap the "Move to folder" button in the invitation email
    ➩ The browser login screen is displayed

    ・ When you tap the shared link of "Company user" or "Invited user" in the email
    ➩ Asked if you want to open it with the app

    ・ When you tap the "everyone who knows the link" shared link in the email
    ➩ The file is displayed on m.box.com

    Please change this operation so that it becomes the following…

  18. Select folders from hard drive to sync with box

    Rather than syncing to a separate Box folder on my desktop, I would an application that would make it able to flag folders and files that already exist on my hard drive. I would very much prefer to be able to open my Windows Explorer and right-click on a folder and make a selection that would automatically sync that folder from where it is in my hard drive to Box.
