1. Box for Outlook - Seamless login with SSO

   The Box app in Outlook is currently not a great user experience requiring users to login daily. It should pass existing SSO credentials across and login at least after the first set-up. Look at Asana as an example of how this should work

2. Editor permissions without delete function

   Recently, we had a user delete a very important and large folder that housed 1.4 TB of client data. We have looked into changing permissions for all users to Viewer Uploader from Editor to prevent this from happening again, but this also takes away the ability to MOVE files/folders as well. We would like there to be an option for a role to be introduced that would allow users to have all functions of Editor just WITHOUT the ability to delete.

3. We need Box enablement to all the App user to "see" the refreshes of documents periodically

   We want app user functionality to crawl a given Box folder and refresh every 24 hrs so we always have the latest document ingested into Watson Discovery.

4. Show full filename in Box Search

   Box Search cuts off long file names. If the file name is prefaced with the date or other info, the information one actually needs from the file name may be hidden from the user.

   This can be solved by making the Box Search window larger, making it as large as the longest filename, or by showing the filename when a user mouses over the filename or file icon, or when a user uses the arrow keys to select (but not yet open) a file in the Box Search results.

5. Let user disable shortcut top menu () or load shortcut menu before files listing

   Hi everyone,

   whenever we user move from one folder to the next, using the web app in a browser, the page load is delayed by the shortcut menu on top. This shortcut menu displays buttons for [Upload][Folder][Word Document][Excel Spreasheet].

   The current implementation is sooo annoying, since these four buttons are loaded on page and after the files listing in the directory. Unfortunately this shifts the file list of the directory down on the page each time.

   This shifting down the file listing on the page is so annoying for browsing directories, since in that time one can't aim for clicking on files with the mouse. So it slows down the directory browsing experience of the user by around a second with each directory change.

   I suggest two solutions:
   1. The menu becomes optional and the user can disable it.
   2. The implementation is changed, so that the shortcut menu is loaded before the file list. In this way the file listing doesn't move down on the page after it is first displayed.

   Looking forward seeing this resolved.

   Many thanks and all the best
   Dirk

6. Relay admin should allow editing of relay flows

   Users are confused when going into relay on the Admin dashboard vs. relay on the main toolbar in the user experience. Users should be able to edit relay flows when in the admin dashboard, or there should be clearer messages to users why they can't edit a relay flow in the admin. It leads users to create new workflows because they don't know where to edit the files.

7. A snapshot of contents within a Box drive folder

   Have you ever looked at a top-level Box folder and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to dig through and drill down to every sub-folder just to know what the contents are?

   Do you get discouraged at the thought of looking for a single file that could possibly exist way down the rabbit hole of Box folders and sub-folders?

   Would you rather have the ability to glance at a snapshot of an entire Box folder and all the sub-folders and files that exist within it?

   A simple yet effective solution is a "tree directory" view. This is a feature that doesn't exist yet, but with your vote, you could contribute towards making this feature come alive.

   Here is a mockup of what a folder snapshot in tree directory format could look like:

   Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion (and mock-up!). At this time, it’s not planned, but we’ll keep this in mind for future enhancements to the product!

9. Fix file/folder size, counts, dates and storage

   I'd like to preface this by saying that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not an idea. Even so, Box suggested we post this here to get others to chime in and say that this should be fixed.

   This is a problem that's been around for at least 1.5 years.

   Often, when an account's folders and files are transferred to someone else, the account from which the data was transferred still shows something greater than 0 bytes owned. This becomes a problem for deleting that user, because we can't be sure if the transfer worked, and we don't want to delete an account that has data that will be lost forever. This seems to happen, more often than not, for accounts that have a lot of owned data prior to the transfer.

   At the moment the workaround is to have a script run every day to detect when this has happened, and to then create a Box ticket to have someone in Box support run their own homegrown script that rectifies the situation for the individual account. (Note, Box created this script because this is a known problem that they have to regularly fix.) So, it takes our time to detect it and create the ticket, and it takes Box's time to fix it and deal with the ticket. This happens almost every week at least one time.

   After 1.5 years, it's about time to fix this readily reproducible problem!

11. API endpoint to return ALL objects (recursively) but simplified to create browser tree

    I am using the jstree library in my application to create a full browser tree of a user's BOX resources. Please create an endpoint to return ALL objects (recursive) available to an authenticated user inside one root folder . These objects would only require the object ID, TYPE, NAME, VERSION and PARENT(parent-id as string instead of parent object). The jstree lib can take this data and create an entire file browsing tree and then users would call up more information when they click on an object. This would greatly reduce the number of API calls to your server and possibly reduce memory usage on your end. My application needs to create this full browser tree anyway to check the status of synced folders and this currently requires multiple consecutive API calls.

15. Quota Notifications for End Users

    I would like a way to set up different thresholds where a user can be notified that they are getting close to exceeding their quota limit. Give me the option to allow notifications at 95% and 99% and then every time they have hit their quota limit when they are someone else adds files to something that they own. I would also like to see warnings added for collaborators when they add files to another person's shares that indicate that they have hit a quota limit for the owner of the folder and give them a warning that they need to work with the owner of the folder.

16. Add Support for Surrogate Pair Characters (e.g. Emojis, Supplementary Kanji)

    Currently, Box has limitations in handling surrogate pair characters (such as certain emojis or supplementary Kanji) in file names and metadata.
    Other major services like Microsoft 365 already support these characters, and we would like to request similar support in Box.
    Enabling surrogate character support would significantly improve internationalization and user experience for customers working with multilingual or symbol-rich content.

17. Reset all existing Open Shared links to "People in the Folder" or "People in the company" via the Box UI

    We would like to have a way to set all existing links on our accounts to either "people in the folder" or "people in the company" even when allowing shared links.

    At present, we would have to use the API calls below or do it manually:

    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

18. List View of Marked For Offline Files

    It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

    Drive should surface a pop-up when operations involving >8k items are initiated, in alignment with the current threshold on Box.com

    
    

    If there are other considerations that should be taken into account to improve this feature (e.g. configurable thresholds), please add a comment. Status will remain as on roadmap for the time being.
