2. Allow groups to be specified as 'notified to' in Box Shield Threat Detection Rules

   Only user accounts can be specified for the 'Notification Destination' of the Threat Detection rules in Box Shield.
   Since maintenance is required when the person in charge changes, it should be possible to specify a group.

   ■In Japanese：
   Box shieldに存在する検出ルールの「通知の送信先」は、ユーザーアカウントのみが指定できます。
   担当者が変わったときメンテナンスが必要になるので、グループを指定できるようにしてください。

3. I would like enhanced notifications for public liniks

   I would the ability to receive notifications for downloads of Shared links (that is, publicly accessible links, not requiring a login). Further, I would like the ability to demand an email address be entered before the download occurs. You can demand an email address on public upload request, and it would be great to be able to do the same for a download.

4. Allow Admins to STOP Email Uploads Success/Failure Notifications

   We have a requirement for some groups to email reports into Box folders. When using the Email Upload functionality, Box will send the uploading user an email to confirm whether their upload completed successfully or failed. Employees receive excessive emails since we cannot stop Box from sending these confirmations.
   Just make it an option in the admin console to shut off these confirmation emails.

6. Setting tags for each folder

   For example, I would like to see the setting inherited by a specific folder and its subfolders, similar to the "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" in the email notification in the folder settings.

   In a tenant with many end users, tags can be disorganized.
   For example, if you try to create a tag for December, some users may find that there are many ways to describe the month, and when they try to search for a tag, they may not be able to find the desired tag.
   For this reason, many tenants restrict the creation of tags by end users.
   (e.g.) 202012、12月、１２月、December、Dec、十二月、etc.

   However, if tags can be set for specific folders (e.g. personal folders), we believe that tags can be created by end users to facilitate the search, management, and operation of the desired folders.

   【日本語訳】
   フォルダ毎にタグの設定をできるようにしてほしいです。
   例えば、フォルダ設定内のメール通知の「このフォルダとすべてのサブフォルダのデフォルト設定を上書きする」と同じように、特定のフォルダとその配下のフォルダに設定が継承されるようにしてほしいです。

   多くのエンドユーザーが所属するテナントにおいて、タグが乱立することがあります。
   例えば、12月というタグを作成しようとした場合、ユーザーによっては下記のように記載方法が多岐に渡り、タグを検索しようとすると目的のタグがヒットしないといった事象が起こりうると想定されます。
   そのため、多くのテナントではエンドユーザーのタグの作成を制限していると思われます。
   例）202012、12月、１２月、December、Dec、十二月、等

   しかし、特定のフォルダ(個人フォルダ等)にタグを設定できるようになれば、タグの作成をエンドユーザーで行い、目的のフォルダの検索、管理、運用がスムーズに行えると考えます。

8. Google Doc "share" from google.

   When using V2 of the box integration with google docs, apparently the ability to "share" the document from google itself, was apparently removed (it shows as available at 1:05 of this box video https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators )

   Removing this functionality is not only cumbersome, it creates HUGE potential security issues.

   I would like users in our organization to be able to store these google documents in box, to avoid having to manage multiple file storage systems. For one thing, it is cumbersome and unintuitive to have to go to box to invite a person to collaborate with my google doc. And then for the user to have to go through box and then know to click to edit the file to get to the google doc. That's like having to go through your neighbor's house to get to your own refrigerator.

   But even worse, it creates HUGE potential security issues. In the real world, people often mistakenly invite "collaborators" to the wrong file. EASY to do when busily viewing a list of nearly identical documents in a box folder. OR worse, they invite collaborators to the entire folder and all its subfolders. Potentially CATASTROPHIC depending on the contents of those folders. This kind of thing happens in the real world, no matter how much you train them. Like I was saying above, I don't want users to go through the neighbor's house AT ALL. I just want to give them the soda or whatever I want them to have. which is not related to the neighbor's house at all. They have no business in the neighbor's house at all.

   When a user shares a google document from within the google interface, there is no mistaking which document is being shared. And there is no potential for sharing any other document or a whole directory of documents.
   
   Basically this new version of this integration REMOVES the very collaborative features of google docs, and adds a layer of complexity, along with a potential for massive mistakes ranging from problematic to disastrous.
   This integration as it is now, with regular google "sharing" removed, basically guarantees that we won't use it. There is virtually no upside and HUGE potential downsides.
   
   Honestly, I can't believe google even allowed their own "share" button to be removed from their premium suite of apps.
   
   It's a HUGE security and workflow oversite, done I can only imagine, to force people to go through and see box, even if that causes the previously listed gymnastics and potential debacles. Thus it seems it was done with marketing in mind, rather than a benefit to the users. This was incredibly shortsighted.
   
   As mentioned. We will NOT use this feature as is, for the potential security vulnerabilities alone. Thus the current implementation is driving us AWAY from box. Since we have to use google docs for these use cases.
   
   PLEASE revert the feature to enable the regular "share" functionality in Google apps.

   UPDATE: Actually it's worse than I thought. Just tested between two of my accounts. Since the "sharing" apparently only works by inviting "collaborator" as an editor, the user actually has to CREATE a box account just to edit the google sheet. I mean SERIOUSLY. What a ridiculous marketing move. Definitely will NOT use this integration as it is now. It's pretty much all downside, virtually no upside.
   If you want happy Box users, PLEASE don't do stuff like this. We like it when you HELP us. Not when you use us to be mules to market your platform to our business associates. I'd brag about you MORE (and have) if you just make my life easier. NOT when you do stuff like this. Just put it back the way it was.

   When using the integration, users can now share a Google file directly within the editor, using Box’s sharing modal permissions and settings.

10. I'm a sole proprietor and need your Business Plus features

    Hello, I'm coming back to our exchange on Twitter from earlier today.

    I was a Box user between 2013-18 when my business started to grow and my Box plan became too limited. Also the branding of my file exchange service became a must.

    Back then I wanted to switch to Business Plus but the minimum of 3 payed users made this way too expensive and also simply unreasonable for me as a one-man show. I exchanged various emails with your support and spoke with your office in Munich about whether it was possible to offer a One User Business Plus account before giving up at some point since the answer was no. I switched to WeTransfer where I soon became a beta user for their current Plus plan.

    I like WeTransfer and had a good relation with their beta team but unfortunately their platform is not always as reliable as it had to be and the features offered still leave a lot to be desired.

    Let me keep this brief for now, do you see a chance to offer a one user Business Plus account, ideally with a 'fair' monthly fee that suits a fairly small business like mine?

    I'm a audio mastering engineer and work with clients around the world around 15 per month, while 4 or 5 of them are regulars. Reliability, ease of use for my clients and speed are crucial for me, so is storage space and branding. I love the idea to offer my clients an app for communication and fast project updates, and in general I'd love to move all project related communication into their dedicated folders.

    I have plenty of colleagues who are 'so/so' happy with WT, Dropbox, G-Drive etc, none of them would hesitate to switch to a much better platform as long as the cost will stay in relation to our income.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

11. show automation creator as the sender of automation task assignment email

    Currently, automation task email notifications show the sender as the primary email regardless of who created the automation

    In a large company, users might not even know who the admin is and discard the emails as spam or unnecessary.

13. History of recently shared files and collaborators

14. Direct transfer tool on macOS from connected NAS to Box online, bypassing the local drive cache

    Our scenario is a NAS with 80TB worth of data on it. Mac-only environment.

    I know about the standalone transfer tool available on Windows, but this is no option for our macOS environment.

    Box Shuttle (cloud) is not an option to get this data onto Box, either as it can't connect to our NAS direclty (and it being in offline network segment).

    Uploading in 1 go from the web portal fails miserably.

    Drag'n'drop from NAS to connected Box Drive client fills up disk space beyond capacity.

    Copying files from my NAS to Box Drive requires a tedious, manual process due to limited internal storage (1TB). I have to copy files in chunks, wait for each upload to complete (without any real overview or confirmation of progress), log out of Box Drive to clear the cache (no other reliable way implemented), log back in, and then repeat the process, carefully tracking my progress. This is extremely inefficient and quickly gets old.

    A direct upload tool for macOS, bypassing local Box Drive cache, with full and uptodate status reporting would save my day.

15. I am struggling with basic functionality of box i.e. sharing a folder with external users.

    I followed simple steps to use box application to share some business information with external stakeholder.
    1. Created a folder
    2. Uploaded my files
    3. Clicked on share button at the top right corner and added the email addresses of folks I want to share with
    4. Gave them viewer access

    Result:
    1. I can see in sharing panel these new users have pending requests
    2. The users get email notification to access the folder but when they click they get an error 403.

    It has happened multiple times, for some users the process is smooth, others it always throws errors. I have tried removing and adding them again but doesn't work.

16. Remove Platform App Change Approval Requirement & Improve SDK/API support

    I currently have a production issue (all key functionality is severely impaired, on par with an outage) as a result of failed API calls and because changing App Platform settings requires the approval of a Box Enterprise Admin review and approval. There is no ETA on how long this will take: days, weeks, months? Other community posts echo this concern and there were no concrete answers provided. This is revenue impacting and needs attention in the next 12 hours. While I understand this is not an enterprise account and there are only so many admins that can review these requests, this workflow is not sustainable, the requirement could be removed, simply by putting stricter security rules and guardrails in place and letting the user be responsible for their settings with legal binding agreements, etc. AWS demonstrates this wonderfully.

    Please contact me, regarding this matter asap.

17. Combine Feed with Notifications and Recents to make one seamless experience

    If you could combine feed with notifications + recents into one screen. Our users find that they’re often switching back in forth between the screens; if you could have a screen with three columns including all of these items and have a way to sort them, scroll them – that would be one experience and save time flipping between pages.

18. Allow resizeable/full-screen file search form

    Actually the file search UX in Windows has a design giving priority to form over function, with a concept half-way resembling a tray application notification.

    The problem with that is that the ridiculous window size most of the time trims relatively long file paths to the point of having on-screen indistinguishable search results for different files, if they are at somewhat deepth in the file tree. The smallnes brings also unnecesary scroll, and forces the pains of a self imposed real-state screen-space shortage, more proper of mobile devices but undesirable in desktop.

    Let file search have the first class interface power users demand to handle huge collections of files of tens of gigabytes.

19. Problem with workbook link in Excel

    we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
    Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:

    C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    To

    api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.

    How can we solve this problem?

    Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
    Starting Configuration:
    BOX drive installed: YES
    Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
    In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......
    ※image①.png
    ※image②.png
    After enabling BOX for Microsoft Office:
    ※image③.png
    If I open the test.xlsx all links to related workbooks change, making it impossible to update the data correctly.
    ※image④.png
    To solve this situation, I must manually change all the data sources:

    In this example, the new link is: https://api.box.com/wopi/files/1642985320322/WOPIServiceIdTPBOX2/WOPIUserId-/linkedworkbook.xlsx
    Removing BOX for Microsoft Office
    If I remove it and I haven't already changed the path of the linked workbooks, excel goes back to working correctly.
    Of course, if I have modified any path to the new (api.box.com), I will have the same problem.
    Conclusion
    This operation (manually change data sources) should be done for all files that contain external data (csv, linked workbook, etc).
    As you can imagine, it is not applicable on a large scale.
    Do you have any alternative solutions?
    Thank you and best regards

    we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
    Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:

    C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    To

    api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.

    How can we solve this problem?

    Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
    Starting Configuration:
    BOX drive installed: YES
    Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
    In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......… more

20. Not delete data flagged as "make available offline" when Box Drive is closed/logged out

    Currently if data is generated and saved locally on a machine into the Box Drive folder, exiting or logging out of the Box Drive application will delete the local data on the machine, even if the folder it is saved into is marked to "make available offline".

    We are a small physics research laboratory currently trying to migrate our data collection and storage from Dropbox to Box. We were disheartened to discover that if data is generated on a local machine, by collecting and saving it directly into the Box Drive folder, say, and Box Drive is logged out (by an errant user perhaps) the local copy of the data is not preserved. This seems to present a great deal of risk as if a set of files, just collected, were not yet synced and an inadvertent closure/logout of box drive occurred the data would be lost. Or, more likely a large repository of data which must both be kept on a local machine and backed up to the cloud service would have to be inconveniently re-downloaded after any logout. A setting to prevent this behavior would be greatly appreciated.
