  1. Add ability to change permission settings for Box Drive to allow the share operation.

    For example, we have a scanner and want to be able to directly scan to the Box Drive folder.

  5. Allow for obfuscated URL references

    When sharing a URL there are situations where one would rather obfuscate the company name (instead of showing such). Perhaps either there can be a "substitute" name that would be known to Box but would not be determineable by a recipient.

    This feature is key when supplying evidence and wanting to avoid be named as a witness. At the moment, our company name appears in the URL making us a target for deposition.

  7. Prevent users from knowing whether or not a valid Box account exists in signup flow

    You should not let users know that an account exists due to security reasons. This gives away the identity of email addresses associated with Box accounts. Please update your account creation flow accordingly.

  8. Send account creation emails without password language

    We turn off "account creation" emails because of SSO.

    Now when a user is added to the account, they are not going to receive any email letting them know the account is available for use.

    It would be much better if we could simply remove the password reset language from the welcome message, but still send it.

  9. Allow for creation of custom permission levels (roles).

    We want to share files to an external collaborator, but want to restrict the download and allow editing.

    Request: Add new custom roles and assign them preview, link, edit, and they would have to use our Office 365 to modify within Box?

  12. Rollback option when db crash

    After creating folder or uploading files into box there will be chance of occuring backend database crash or lose connection between datasource . In this case we should roll back our transaction(like revert folder creation or file upload).

    Many actions in both are idemptotent and can be safely retried. For those which are not, it is the responsibility of a client to implement transaction guarantees if required. There are common patterns for this such as the two-phase commit and SAGA pattern. If there is more information for a specific capability that is required to faciliate these, please add that to the comments.

  14. Allow Admin Deployment of Box Drive for Upgrades over Network

    We use a deployment software and are able to use it successfully for all upgrades except Box Drive. This is due to the fact that there is a prompt for confirmation that the upgrade will cause loss connection and in a ticket was told there was no way to force it to continue.

    What I'd like to see is a way for either through a deployment software, GPO, or PowerShell, be able to force upgrades at start-up. This would ensure that users are not yet accessing files that could be messed up.

  15. Add Meraki as a supported EMM provider

    We need to prevent employees from accessing Box data from BYOD devices. This is a business requirement for us. We must find a way to restrict this access.

  20. We would like the ability to @mention users invited via groups.

    A user can only invite users to folders via group. At present, if a user is invited via a group, they cannot @mention this user.
