Actions to make documents and folders (box drive, 'Make Available Offline' ) appear in reports as Downloads - same as normal downloads
When identifying anomolous downloads (ie potential data leakage), we utilise both Box Shield alerts and User Activity reports to establish details.
However, User Activity reports (csv, column E 'Action') do not differentiate between those documents and folders downloaded, and those that are 'Made Available Offline'. When attempting to avoid data leakage, the difference is important. Making content available offline is a legitimate task for users. However, large quantities of normal downloads may indicate fraudulent theft of data.
We need to be able to differentiate between the two types, as soon as possible
Because User Activity Reports record items as…

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.

It would be useful to be able to exclude certain users (such as Admins) from the Notifications (specifically for downloads) so that the user does not get a notice. Example use case is in a DLP investigation or tools used, triggers a notice which we may not want visible to that end user.

Change Unique Identifier to Something other than Email Address
This is the grouping for the common request for Box to use a unique identifier other than email address for managed users.
Key pain point with the fact that Box uses email address as the unique identifier: Email addresses change often in large companies, thus requiring these companies to use custom API scripting to keep emails in Box updated based on changes in AD.
This unique identifier (whether a mapped value from the customer's user store, aka AD, or the Box unique user ID) should also be the identifier used when users authenticate to Box using SSO (via…
20 votesThis feature request isn’t currently planned on the roadmap, but we are considering the notion of user attributes that can be placed on a user and then used for better context while sharing / collaborating and searching in the Admin Console.
Please provide more use cases in the comments to help us understand the problem better.

Prevent users from adding content to the root level in Box Drive
Our enterprise is set to prevent users from being able to create folders at the root level. This functionality works great in Box cloud app. However the user is able to add content at the root level in Box Drive. This causes sync errors as Box Drive cannot sync to a root level folder in the app.
Can you consider preventing users from doing this in Box Drive so it matches how it works in Box browser view.

The ability to search by creator when searching workflows in the “Relay” section of the management console
The administrator will check whether there are any problems with the workflow settings owned by each user, and if there are any problems, they may discuss with the user what needs to be corrected.
Currently, workflows can be searched by name, but users cannot view a list of workflows they individually maintain, which lacks convenience.
Searching by workflow creator improves work efficiency.管理者では各ユーザー毎の所有するワークフローの設定に問題がないか確認のうえ、問題があればユーザーと一緒に修正箇所を議論することがあります。
現在はワークフローの名称で検索か可能となっていますが、各ユーザー毎に保持しているワークフロー一覧を出すことができず利便性に欠けます。
ワークフローの作成者単位で検索できることで作業の効率化が上がります。19 votes -
Box Drive: Display pop up warning when copy / move large number of items
Just like below warning pop-up displayed in WebApp, Box Drive shall pop up a warning to let the user know when large number of files / folders are going to be copied / moved. (also to prevent accidental copies / moves)
Copy Items
(!) This operation is not immediate and may take some time.
You are about to copy 9000 items to the folder 'Project Folder 01'. Due to the large number of items, this operation may take up to several hours to complete. During this operation, content within this folder may not be available for access. Do you want…
32 votesDrive 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.

Bulk Shared Link Generation
A user level ability to generate shared links in bulk in Box webapp. A little background, we are supplying images of our product to major dept stores (think Macy's, Dillards, Nordstrom, Kohl's, etc). These are the images they used to post our product on their web sites. We essentially have to fill out their forms with our product attributes with links to the image. We create 1000's of products annually, this my need to have a listing of all the links.

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…
93 votesThanks 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!

Error message when access to a file is not available.
Instead of the current error message, "Page does not exist," can we have a message that is more indicative of access is not available to the user as opposed to the page does not exist.
A typical scenario is when a link is shared but the user was not invited into the folder etc.
The current message is misleading.

Groups exportable Report needed
I think every organization's admin could use a quick User Groups report. Essentially it would look like the Groups page, with the addition of Shared Folders and names of members.
Columns:
Group Name
Created Date
Number of Members
Group's Admins
Group Members (Names)
Group Description

Ability to disable "user added another user to your folder as a collaborator" email notifications.
We've built an app that centers around adding users to folders owned by a service account. We had over 150k notifications in a single day, accounting for 80% of their email traffic to a single inbox for a brief period. We've have added a rule to block these incoming emails, but we are not satisfied with this solution and urgently request the ability to turn these off.

Keep Canvas user names in sync with the latest display name
When a user changes their Box display name, the updated name should also appear in Box Canvas.
Currently, Canvas may retain the name shown when the user first collaborated. This can cause confusion and make it difficult to identify the correct person, especially after role changes, transfers, or legal name changes.
(Japanese)
ユーザーがBoxの表示名を変更した場合、その最新の名前がBox Canvas上にも反映されるようにしてほしいです。現在、Canvas上では、ユーザーが初めてコラボレーションした時点の表示名が保持され、その後Box上で名前を変更しても古い名前が表示され続ける場合があります。そのため、誰のアカウントなのか分かりにくくなり、役職変更・異動・改姓などの際に混乱が生じます。

EMM Logins Not Counted in User Statistics Report; Require Fix

Ability to print PDF documents without downloading
In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).
As PDFs tend to contain forms to fill in either interactively or manually it might be consiedered as useful to print them directly from the browser. Currently it's not possible as after user hits 'command + P' there's only 1 blank page to be printed.
The current user path for printing a PDF is:
1. Open a PDF in box webapp
2. download it to…9 votes -
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…

Allow folder permissions / account permissions to be copied to another user.
We hired a new admin. As an executive, I want my admin to have access to all files I have in my Box account.
Is there a way to copy his access to the new admin?

Removed Collaborator Report That Show Affected Folder Path, Folder Owner, & Link To Affected Folder
Recently, my company ran into an integration bug between Okta and Box, which result in a mass deprovisioning of users account. We were able to reprovision user account fairly quick but there as a mass folder permission lost.
If the user permission was granted via a group, all permission was successfully restored. However, if the permission was granted individually, that permission was lost. Ticket was open with Box support to request for assistance with folder permission restore but they could not help.
So the next best thing was try to run "User Activity" report on "Removed Collaborator" on…
