  1. BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using

    BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

  3. 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…

  4. Company Shared Link Controls: 'Auto-Expiration' to Only Impact Company Links ('People in your company' links)

    Our customers would like to set default expiration for 'People in your company' links but not for 'Invited user only' links.

    Recently, we have been able to set default expiration for Open links.
    This change have been improved usability, our customers are pleased about it.

    But it is still impossible to set a default expiration only for 'People in your company'links (without setting for 'Invited user only' links).
    Some of our customers need to limit the sharing of information internally as well and hope this setting.
    Example.
    ・pharmaceutical industry
    ・manufacturing industry
    ・Companies with group companies

    Now, they have to set…

  5. 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.

  6. Controls for Admins to stop over sharing

    We have seen multiple scenarios where our teams are over sharing entire folder structures with external parties. It would be good as admins/co-admins to have a setting that allows us to disable external sharing.
    I was hoping this could have been done with policies, but since they are hierarchical it would stop the files and folders within the ones we want to lock from being shared!

  7. 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.

  8. Ability to auto-delete content when a shared link expires

    We would like the ability for content to auto-delete upon a specified expiry of a shared link.

    Specifically, we feel this would give us better control over removing not only the sharing but the content itself and automate some processes we have.

  9. We would like the "Share" UI for web collaboration to be improved.

    Currently, the options for inviting users and generating a shared link are on the same screen, which can be confusing for users.

    Please separate the invitation and shared link issuance into clearly distinct screens.

    Webからコラボレーションする際の「共有」のUIを改善して欲しい

    招待と共有リンクが同じ画面のため、ユーザーが混乱しやすいです。
    招待と共有リンクの発行をはっきりと区別した画面にして欲しいです。

  10. Include Enterprise Events for access changes to shared links triggered by enterprise-wide settings updates

    If an admin updates the enterprise-wide shared link settings from open to restrictive (for example, removes "People with the link" as an option), the access level on any existing open links is changed. This change is not included in Enterprise Events/Usage Log reports.

  11. 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.

  13. Folder Tree View in WebApp (Windows Explorer/Finder, eBuilder)

    I noticed that Box does not have a high-level folder tree view, except in the 'All Files' page (you click on the arrow next to "All Files"). Many Box folders in my company's folder structure take a very long time to load - however the folder tree view on the 'All Files' page loads quicker, but still not as fast as another application like eBuilder. Having a permanent option on the web application would be very efficient when tracking down files, and load times won't be as cumbersome. Currently, having to click through multiple folders in order to access the…

  14. Option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when clicked on shared links

    I would like the option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when my client clicked on my shared links. This pop-up window confuses them and leading them to think they must Sign Up or Log in in order for them to view and download my shared documents.

    If my client like your product structure, I am sure they will sign up for an account themselves without the need to prompt them every time. This effect my business as I have received many complains about this window. They recommend for me to use other methods.

  17. Ability to Make Specific Folders Persistent in Box Drive

    In order for some of our CADD standards to work properly we have our users marking a specific folder for offline use. It would be nice if there was an admin setting to mark specific folders to be precached or persistent in Box Drive for specific users or groups.

  20. 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.
