  1. Ability to hide feed updates by folder level

    Like others have mentioned before, Feed can be too busy to make it useful. There are many folders I am invited in where I don't need to see updates. It would be useful to have the ability to silence those folders on your feed so you are only getting updates from the folders you are interested in.

  3. Folders and Files Report Filtering Settings

    Request:
    In the folders and files reports, we want to output the results filtered by the content's "Creation Date (range specified)" or "Upload Date (range specified)".

     example:
     Output a list of content that was newly uploaded (or created) within a specific time range (MM/DD to MM/DD) stored in Box

    merit:
    By carefully selecting only the minimum amount of information required to be output in a report, you can reduce the time it takes to output the report.
    In addition, since there is no need to process the output reports, work efficiency can be improved.

    要望:
    フォルダとファイルのレポートにおいて、コンテンツの「作成日(範囲指定)」や「アップロード日(範囲指定)」でフィルタした結果を出力したい。

     例:
     Box内に保存されている特定の時間範囲(〇月〇日~△月△日)に新規アップロード(もしくは、作成)されたコンテンツの一覧を出力する

    メリット:
    レポートで出力される対象の情報を必要最小限に厳選することで、レポート出力までの時間の削減になります。…

    not planned  ·  dfisher responded

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  5. Allow admins to be able to exclude specific folders from scanning policies

    Be able to safelist individual folders and their content, in case the latter are part of normal operational activities of specific teams, and to reduce false positives/noise to SecOps teams.

  7. folder notification

    Notifications about folder activity for emails who are not collaborators in the folder.

    Use case: Our end users are not allowed to access cloud data sites on our corporate network per compliance regulations thus them not being added as a collaborators. I sync the folders down to our file servers and share them creating a two-way data sync between our end users and their clients who use the website. I’ve just been asked to supply alerts when a client performs activities in shared folders but can’t do so directly because I can’t add specific email addresses to the alerts.

  9. Users want to customize their "home" Box page to limit # of folders in view

    Users would ideally like to be able to create folders within their own home screen to sort & categorize folders they've been granted access to.

    These folders would be for personal organizational purposes, but would not actually impact the folder structure overall. This group felt that the Favorites feature was not sufficient on its own.

  10. Top folders in Box Drive should respect top folder restrictions

    We currently have it set to “Only Admin can create and delete first-level folders, file and bookmarks”.

    But it is still possible to create folders in Box Drive and store files within them, but they aren’t actually uploaded to Box (as users do not have permission to create these top level folders), and they are saved locally

  11. Extending the Attach files as shared links functionality to Box for Outlook mobile

    Per https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195733-Understanding-Box-and-Outlook-Integration-Options, the Box for Outlook integration only supports attaching files as shared links on desktop. Requesting that this functionality extends to iOS and Android.

  12. The ability to add an auto-expiration on specific external collaborators access to a specified file or folder.

    I would like an Expiration option date picker to be added to the Collaboration Invite window. This will allow our company to let a user privilege expire without us being forced to expire by auto-deleting a folder, or sharing a link that expires but can also be shared with others in the meantime.

    Unfortunately this is not planned in the near-term, but please do keep adding use cases so we can consider this request for the future.

  13. Copy files to Relevant Folders based on Tags or Automation Rules

    We would like to setup Automation rules for folders that would COPY and not MOVE new files to designated folders.

    To take the idea even further, if the COPY could be triggered by a TAG assignment, it would be even better, because some of the files in the affected folder should not be copied, while other should.

  15. Show classification of files in Box Drive

    We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.

    Showing the classification labels of files/folders if they exist is something that is currently on the roadmap. We'll provide updates as we have more concrete info to share!

  16. Enhanced File/Folder Deletion in Box Drive

    Proposal: Allow users to delete shared files and folders directly through Box Drive (File Explorer) and ensure that this action also removes collaborators' access.

    Current Limitation: At present, users must delete shared files and folders via the web interface on box.com. This is because Box Drive mirrors the contents of the box.com web app account, and deletions made in Box Drive do not remove collaborator access.

    Benefits of Implementation:

    Improved User Experience: Streamlining the deletion process will make it more convenient for users, eliminating the need to switch between Box Drive and the web interface.

    Enhanced Security: Ensuring that collaborator…

  17. Cascade MDE into sub folders

    I have customers building out metadata extraction, and they’re running into a bottleneck because our metadata extraction agents only look at the root-level folders they’re targeted to, not subfolders.

    This makes it hard to do dynamic processes and apply metadata extraction to them, since those processes often create folders and subfolders, and metadata extraction won’t work on those. I’d like to see this updated so it does.

  18. Collaboration Domain Whitelisting at Folder Level

    We want to whitelist other domains at the folder level so that collaboration can be open with certain clients on external folders while also being completely blocking collaboration with any other domains.

  19. Add folders and files to a Legal Hold via the UI

    Currently, Legal Holds can only be applied to custodians (people) via the UI, but other options (files, folders, and specific versions) are available via API - https://community.box.com/t5/For-Admins/Legal-Holds/ta-p/19886

    This request is to add UI support for adding files and folders to a Legal Hold via the native Box Admin Console UI.

  20. Personal Folder Auto-Creation

    Similar to the Okta feature (https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/36802318-Configuring-Box-to-Create-a-Personal-Shared-Folder), this request is for a native option in Box to automatically provision a 'personal folder' for each user upon provisioning (whether provisioned manually, via Bulk Add, or via auto-provisioning).

    Key Requests for this feature:
    --Ability to customize the name of the folder that's created (such as choosing the user's name + 'Personal Folder' or other custom strings of text)
    --The user's personal folder will be created in their own account and they'll be the owner of it, with no other users in it (even if restrict content creation is turned…
