  1. Pop up message when users try to move Large folders to a trash

    Hi Could you consider displaying a pop-up message when users try to move a lot of contents to a trash?

    Currently, a pop up message appears when large folders are moved to oher folders. But no message appears when a user tries to move contents to a trash.

  2. Automatic Locking of Documents

    It would really help our productivity to have all documents automatically lock when a user opens the file, other users that then open the document at the same time are notified they are opening a read only version since the document is currently opened by "insert user name". The file would then automatically unlock when the original user exits the file. Very similar to how Microsoft handles this with shared drives.

  3. 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

  4. Allow "date uploaded" / "date triggered" as metadata fields

    Even though a file already has the date it was uploaded and modified attached to it, it would be useful to capture a date automatically like this in the same area where user-submitted metadata appears.

    I would like a field in metadata templates and Relay similar to the date picker except that it only stamps the current date, so a file request could come in with metadata such as a user-entered email address and the date uploaded, without any chance of the user having picked a different date.

    We need to download files and have their metadata visible,…

    Thanks for your great suggestion! We know this capability would be hugely valuable. This is not something we’re currently working on, but we’re always considering feedback from customers like you in how we work with Microsoft to enhance secure productivity and collaboration.

  6. Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI

    The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
    It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
    We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
    Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
    Please improve performance.

    「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」

    Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
    操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
    Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000~2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
    上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
    性能改善をお願いします。

  7. User or Groups listed in the Content Manager sharing window

    When inviting users and groups in the Content Manager, I would like to know more corresponding email addresses and group names listed in the Content Manager sharing window.
    Currently, up to five users or groups appear in the Content Manager.

    It is very inconvenient for tenants with many similar email addresses or group names.

  8. Preventing all users with an email address in a managed domain from creating accounts

    We noticed that a box.com account was used to create a Box user in our managed domain. Box mentioned that we can turn off auto enrollment which makes all users with a domain email address managed, but we really want to prevent users for which we have not automatically created Box accounts for from making a managed or unmanaged account.

    I would like to suggest an additional admin control that could prevent users from signing up at box.com using their domain email address.

    It would be useful to be able to exclude certain users (such as Admins) from the Notifications (specifically for downloads) so that the user does not get a notice. Example use case is in a DLP investigation or tools used, triggers a notice which we may not want visible to that end user.

  10. Greater granularity for co-admin privilages

    A co-admin should be able to manage the whitelisted domains for external sharing which is currently only possible by the main admin. Similarly for Shield alerts, only an admin can currently unlock a file. Whilst an admin should be the only one able to change the set up, decide on the alert settings etc a co-admin should be able to manage existing alerts. The lack of granularity of what a co-admin can do makes it difficult to manage as the only alternative is to give co-admins full access to config which isn't a viable option.

  12. 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.

  13. Ability to choose default shared link access security level on a per user basis

    We have the default shared link permission to people in the folder or file.

    We would like to change that default for one user to be "People in your company" for example.

  14. Privileged user audit controls

    We would like to request a feature enhancement please to provide a new email alert to be triggered to a specified group of users when a global enterprise search is performed by a privileged Box admin user from the Box admin console.

    We had an insider attack last year which included theft, abuse of privileges, credit card fraud and more. One of the methods he used was to perform enterprise level searches (credit cards, passports, drivers licences) across the whole Box environment.

    Whilst we can manually look for these events via a report, this is far to slow to…

  15. Allow Searching by Last Name - Invite Collaborators / Email Shared Link / Comment @Mentions

    In the Invite Collaborators modal (and other locations such as the Comment composer), Box's autocomplete feature only allows the user to search by either email address and/or first AND last name.

    Meaning for user John Doe with email jdoe@box.com, a search for...
    --"John D" will populate correctly
    --"jdoe" will populate correctly
    --"Doe" will NOT populate correctly

    REQUEST: Allow searching by last name (without having to enter first name before).

    Thank you for submitting this request. We’re pleased to announce that we have added support for searching by last name and email address when sharing from the Box web application. We hope to expand this functionality to our comments support in a future release.

  16. Relay workflow sharing across users

    As far as I can tell, only the person who has created the Relay workflow has access to the workflow and I can't share the workflow I have already created with one of my colleagues. As a result, if he wants to start a new workflow using the same flow that I had built, he has to start over as I can't share mine with him. This is a really basic function you need to create ASAP if you want adoption with Relay.
