1. Shield access policy customization - inclusion/exclusion list for downloading files

   Interested in an inclusion/exclusion list FOR downloading files, as part of a Shield access policy.

   Ex: If Owners/Co-Owners/Editors are OK to download they want control the file types they can download. I know you can control this by just creating a separate classification and policy but that could cause too many of them. Better to create an filetype inclusion list

2. User can perform multi-doc AI queries from the Box Apps view

   Currently a user can only select files in a folder to run a multi-doc query. They should also be able to select files in a Box Apps view to perform multi-doc AI queries.

   Hi, thanks for voting for this topic! This feature became generally available at the end of October. Please see here for more information: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/43182352974611-Query-single-or-multiple-documents-in-a-Box-Apps-view-using-Box-AI

3. Auto deleting files from my desktop once they are moved into box

   Hi- question on moving files. Say I create a document on my desktop and then drag and drop it into box. The original document on my desktop is not deleted. I would like this to happen automatically so I am not editing the most recent file. Is this an account preference with box or with with my computer?

   Example: I create a document file on my desktop just by opening up a Microsoft Word document. I then finish the document file and drag and drop into my box drive on my hard drive, but the file still exists on my desktop. I would like it to only exist in box once I drag and drop it into box drive from my desktop.

4. Open read-only in BoxDrive

   Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
   Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

   -in Japanese-
   ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
   読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。

   Box Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.

   Here are a few possible workarounds:

   • Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
   • Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
   • Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

5. Ability to exclude specific folders or files from policies

   Ability for admin to select folders or files for which subsequent uploads will not be requarantined.

6. Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved

   We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.

   【Details】
   Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
   For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
   In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned the label "TECHNICAL INFOMATION".
   On the other hand, moving a folder containing files with a .dwg extension does not change the classification label of the files in the folder. As a result, at least once, an external user can preview or download the file.

   This may be a behavior specification rather than a defect, but it is problematic behavior for business requirements.
   We would like to see a fix that would allow the automatic classification policy to work on folder-by-folder moves and copies and automatically change the restrictions on important files within a folder.

   (I accidentally deleted a previous Pulse with the same content, so I'm reposting it. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

   Unfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

7. Function to display a list of files that failed to upload when uploading large amounts of content

   In the course of work, there are many opportunities to upload folders or large numbers of files at once.
   Some files may fail to upload, but the Box Web screen does not allow you to extract information about only the files that failed to upload.
   This means that it can be time-consuming to identify files that have failed to upload among a large number of uploaded files.
   Please implement a function to display a list of contents that have failed to upload.
   If it is difficult to display the list on the screen, please implement a function to export the list in CSV format.

10. Do not show Box files tab automatically in every Microsoft Teams channel a user has access to

    By default, when a user connects a Box folder with a MS Teams channel using the Box plugin for the first time, suddenly a Box files tab appears in any Teams channel the user has access to (no maztter if the user is owner or just member). This happens to all stanard channels (private channels don't work with Box Teams Plugin)
    This is absolutely confusing, especially when using MS Teams in a company/enterprise. The box files tabs are not linked to any Box folder. They need to be removed manually everywhere.

    Can you please implement a control which prevents creating these unused Box tab folders.
    Many thanks.

11. Quarantined Files - View Folder Path

    Currently an admin looking at the Quarantine section of Content Manager is not shown any information about where the file was attempted to be uploaded, which is also where the file will exist if the admin clicks 'restore' (approves) the file.

    REQUEST: Provide location information for quarantined files such as the folder path, owner, uploader, etc. This information is already in the policy violation email that's sent to admins, so it should also be available in Content Manager.

12. I want to be able to bulk rename files and folders within a specified folder

    Bulk renaming files and folders in a specified Box folder though the web interface is a missing feature.

    It would be helpful to be able to do so, as often clients or projects change name and the "CompanyA - content of the folder" or "ProjectA - content of the folder" names need to be renamed as "CompanyB - content of the folder" or "ProjectB - content of the folder".

    When a company or project folder contains hundreds or thousands of names a string command like "rename text *** to text YYY in al files and folder names" could be extremely helpful (as an example, on MacOSX there's a Finder script for this). This feature is not available on the Box web interface.

13. Ability to view Box folders and files more clearly

    Currently, when we look at a list of folders or files, we feel that they are displayed in a cluttered way.
    This makes it difficult to find a particular item.
    We manage and respond to items by grouping them by tags.

    We believe that the following features will make Box even more convenient for us to use in the future

    ・Assign any colour to the folders in the box
    ・Assign any colour to the tags in the Box
    ・The order of the tags in the Box can be rearranged by dragging.

    [Boxのフォルダやファイルを更に見やすくする機能]

    フォルダやファイルを一覧で見た際に、雑多に表示されており、特定のアイテムを見つけるのが難しい。
    現在は、タグによってグループ分けを行うことで対応している。

    今後以下の機能が増えることでより便利にBoxを利用できると考えています。

    ・Boxのフォルダに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
    ・Boxのタグに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
    ・Boxのタグの順番をドラッグで並び替えられるようにして欲しい。

14. Search for keywords in File content and not only in file names

    Just like Explorer search, Box should be able to list PDF files that contain the keywoard in their content and not only in the File name.

    Example:
    If using Box to store CVs, Box should be able to list CVs that has a specific skill.

15. Selective Bulk Trash Restoration

    Enable the ability to further filter trash folders by folder path and date deleted and perform a bulk operation to restore affected files. Alternatively allow a view to see a full list of all deleted items, rather than the smaller pages.

    The current bulk method is to restore all deleted items in trash. In organizations where the trash retention is set to never auto-delete, trashed files are maintained indefinitely which can create a very large trash folder for users. We do not want to restore files and folders for all time, just a select period.

    Example:
    Files below a specific folder structure Main>Tier>* (folder or file) were deleted by a user inadvertently. There were 70+ pages of files in that user's trash folder out of 164 that needed to be fully restored. The only method to do so was to highlight each page and restore page by page. Instead, filtering by the relevant criteria including deleting user, date, and folder structure affected, then bulk restoring all files identified would save significant time.

17. Download all versions of a single file at once

    If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.

    For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

19. Notify Box app users to refresh for latest updates on Content Preview and Content Explorer UI elements

    Currently, when Box app users access files through the Content Explorer and the Content Preview UI elements, there is no visible indication that one or more files have been updated simultaneously by managed users.
    As a result, users may not be aware of the latest changes or modifications made to the files.

    To ensure that app users benefit from new updates, I kindly request the implementation of a notification message within the Content Preview and Comtent Explorer elements. This notification message would dynamically appear whenever one or more files have been updated, prompting app users to refresh their page to access the latest modifications.
