"Feature Requests for API Enhancements: Folder/Event Details, Access Dates, Upload-Email Modifications, External User Details"
Feature Requests, ordered by priority (if anything is not clear please communicate with Noam):
In copy/move/rename events, the API should include the id of both the target and origin locations (from-to)
In file/folder get info API, the last access date of the file and folder should be provided (in addition to the modify date)
A new event type for modification of upload-email properties, such as access type (in addition to the existing enable/disable events for upload email functionality)
External users – get external users name and id in Get Enterprise Users api (this is currently not working),…

Custom notifications using Box API
Using Box API there is no way to create custom user notifications. It might be helpful to send some information to the customer that some documents have been moved, imported, etc. A user can monitor the folder but this would be a valuable extension for the API for platform developers.
12 votesThanks, this is a great suggestion but not one that is currently on our roadmap. In the mean time, you can consider using Webhooks to get relevant events and make use of a simple transactional email/sms API such as those provided by Twilio/Sendgrid or Amazon SES to send notifications based on those events.

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.

Add further columns to Shared Links report
In order to prepare a csv file to bulk update existing shared links, it is necessary to
A) run TWO reports - a BOX USERS Report (CLI command), and a SHARED LINKS ReportIf however, you wish to provide a list of shared links to each Box user who created the link(s), then a THIRD report is needed, a USER ACTIVITY Report (for max years, Items Shared action). This report needs to be filtered to show only the latest date/user that created the link (NB a shared link may be created more than once)
B) then the BOX …

separate owned file/folders view from all files/folders view
We need the ability when viewing a users list of files and folders to show only content owned by user. Right now files that have any collaboration at all do not show differently if owned by user or not. Ideally, we could toggle a view filter to show only files/folders owned by user if needed.

Request for improvement of behavior when a workflow creator designates (suggests) an external user as the person to be notified or in charge
Currently, the following conditions must be met in order for the workflow creator to designate (suggest) external users as the recipients of workflow notifications or task assignments.
1.External user account already exists
2.Automatic acceptance of external user invitations enabled
3.Workflow creator invites external users while 1 and 2 are satisfiedIn addition, if the following settings are made on the tenant side, even if the external user has enabled auto-acceptance, the auto-acceptance process will not be performed unless the tenant side setting requirements are met, After the external user satisfies the tenant's requirements, the workflow creator must invite…

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…

User management very slow at scale
Overall the Admin Console is slow especially with searching for/updating a user profile. In some cases it can take about 2-3 minutes to find, update and confirm a user's account was changed.
Individually this hasn't created a problem, but over time it does add up. If it takes 30 seconds to look up a user, another minute to update a user's account and then 30 more seconds to confirm the change, and you have to do this 50+ times a day that quickly adds up. I would like to see updating and confirming a user's account…

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.(Japanese)
「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。134 votesThanks for reaching out! We advise that you send this bug message with your logs to the support team. We will be able to triage effectively through this process.

zip file decompression function
Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.17 votes -

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…

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,…

New Shared Link Setting for OTP to Specific Email Addresses
Proposing a new Shared Link setting or type that allows users to send a shared link to a specific email address which requires a OTP password, similar to the authentication used when an individual is sent a Sign Request via Box Sign.
This would allow for a simpler, more secure user experience when sharing one-off links than password-protecting a public link.
