  1. 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.

  2. Automatically generate a password for the shared link

    I would like to request the addition of a feature that generates a random password meeting the password requirements on the screen where users create an open sharing link and are prompted to set a password.
    When there is a requirement to set a password, manually creating a password each time can be burdensome.

  3. Ability of business to enable/disable password protection of documents/folders function

    The functionality allowing users to password protect documents and folders, should be manageable at the top level, as this function may cause problems with managing content if over used by users.

    A simple enable/disable toggle for each group of users (Previewer, Editor etc) - so that users may/may not have the ability to password protect documents/folders depending on their permissions in particular locations

    Admin Console - reporting locations and details of password protected documents and folders

  4. 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.

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  5. Show collaboration folder path for External users

    When we look at external users, now we can see a folder that they are collaborators in but we cannot see the path to it nor can we navigate to that folder. Can that functionality be added so we can more easily see what folders are shared and what is in them?

  6. Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options fora team

    Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options for a team. Now it appears that recovery of files that were deleted in a shared Duke Box Toolkit folder can only be recovered by the individual that deleted the file (not the co-owner or admin without the assistance of the individual that performed the deletion). For critical files this is a security risk to just store the files on the Box Drive because it severely limits identifying and recovering deleted files. The individual that deletes the file could do…

  7. 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…

  8. Show a warning message when users attempt to upload folders in a File Request

    Frequently we have users attempt to upload folders to use using the file request drag & drop zone feature.

    Box does not support the uploading of folders, however it allows users to drag folders into the drag/drop zone.

    This gives the appearance that folders are supported, even though they are not. Then when users hit upload they must wait a long time before encountering an error that their upload failed, and it does not tell them why.

    Solution: when a user drags a folder into the file request drop zone, immediately show a message that says "Warning: Uploading folders

  9. My biggest challenge is version control of files that are shared in multiple box folders.

    Ideally updating master file would then update all the different box files it is housed in that may have a variety of users. I spend more time on version controls and finding the latest one than anything.

  10. Please remove the feature that hiding files/folders in Box Drive.

    I work at Box's help desk. Since most users aren't fully proficient with Box, hiding files/folders causes confusion.

  13. Send an alert email to co-owners for folders below the second tier as well.

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755
    According to the URL above,
    "Box sends email notifications to the owner and any co-owners of the corresponding folder. Box only notifies co-owners who are directly collaborating on items with a pending expiration. Box does not notify co-owners who are collaborating via inherited permissions."

    We would like Box to send alert emails to co-owners for folders (files) in the second tier and below.

  14. Expose the functionality for auto-deleting folders and files on a specific date via the API.

    Currently, the web app has a file/folder setting in which a folder or file can be deleted on a specific date. We don't expose this service via the API.

    We work with documents in packages (folders) and so when the documents expire and are deleted, we would also like the containing folder to be deleted as well. All of these packages are customer applications and so if not cleaned up then they will accumulate over time.

    Right now, retention deals with files only, leaving behind the folders. The auto-delete on the folder is perfect for this purpose…

  15. Using the Outlook Integration: Shared link settings be customizable (default to "Collaborators Only).

    All email recipients should then be automatically added as a collaborator to the piece of content being shared.

  16. Separate color or icon for user-owned folder

    When browsing user content in the admin console, I often need to determine which folders are owned by the user whose content I'm viewing. If there were a separate color or icon for folders that the current user owns, I wouldn't have to open every collaborated folder to check ownership.

    This could also help users delineate which folders they own and which are owned by others. It would be a big help with communicating best practices around folder ownership.

  18. To be able to run a report on folders that a group has access to

    Collaboration Report on Groups to list all access to users added/removed and folders. This will likely help Box admins to track user groups, users and associated folders all in one. Currently, you need to go to the group in order to view the members of the group and what folders are currently given to the group.
