   We have no plans to support this specific request in the near-term. We will reconsider with additional demand.

2. Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin

   For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
   ・Folders with online status
   ・Folders with downloaded status
   ・Files with downloaded status

   One of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
   However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.

   We feel that the fact that data supposedly deleted on Box Drive in reality still remains locally (in the Recycle Bin) undermines the value of using Box Drive. We are concerned that, after opting in, this results in a state where the overall security level is effectively reduced.

   Additionally, items moved to the Recycle Bin can be restored locally (e.g., to the desktop), which results in an extremely inadequate security situation. Therefore, we would like the behavior to be the same as in environments where opt-out is disabled, so that items are not moved to the local Recycle Bin.

   新しいアーキテクチャのBox Driveでは、主に以下に該当するアイテムを削除すると、ローカルとBoxWebのごみ箱に移動する挙動を確認しています。
   ・ステータスがオンラインのフォルダ
   ・ステータスがダウンロード済みのフォルダ
   ・ステータスがダウンロード済みのファイル

   Boxを利用する顧客の理由の一つとして、セキュリティー向上（情報漏洩防止）のため「データは極力ローカルには保存しない」運用を期待する部分がありますが、ローカルのごみ箱に移動されたアイテムに対しては、Boxで設定しているごみ箱の削除ポリシーが利かなくなると思われます。
   Box Drive上で削除したはずのデータが、事実上まだローカル上に残る（ごみ箱に残る）状態は、Box Driveを利用する意味が薄くなってしまうと感じており、オプトイン後は「セキュリティーレベルが低下した」状態になってしまうという懸念があります。

   また、ごみ箱に移動したアイテムはローカル（デスクトップ等）に復元することも可能となってしまいセキュリティが極めて不十分な状況に陥っているため、オプトアウト無効の環境と同じようにローカル上のごみ箱には移動しないようにしてほしいです。

3. Box Relay outcome to Apply Classification to a folder dynamically

   It would be helpful if Box Relay would have the ability to apply a classification to the folder where the workflow was triggered on dynamically as an outcome, which would also classify all content within that folder structure as well. This would allow applying classifications to the folder that a new file event trigger happened in for example, which would then flow classifications to all content and sub-folders in that folder structure.

4. I want to be allowed to define a property such as shared-links-target-policy where I will be able to control where a shared link opens

   As the publisher of box shared links I want to be able to define the target-opening policy as for example one of the following "browser", "app", "client" in which 3rd option that choice would be defaulted to "browser" having the end app user change this during installation of app. Also when a url gets intercepted by the box app I believe 99% of the users don't realise that it is the app that asks for login to show content and they complaint to the publisher of the link saying that they don't have anonymous access to the shares as the publisher claims.

5. Ability to restore folder structures to point-in-time

   Similar to version history, we would like the ability to select a folder, folder structure, or subset of folders/files and restore all content therein to a specific point in time. OneDrive recently released a histogram with a timeline slider feature allowing admins to restore select content to a specific period in time. For users moving from on-prem or used to backups, this provides confidence in giving the right access levels to users to get work done with the ability to revert content/structures if needed in case of accidental moved/edited or corrupted content.

6. Report on all Upload email addresses that are created

   Currently we can create a report on shared links. There is not a way to track all upload email addresses that have been created. The features surrounding upload email addresses is rather limited compared to the features associated with shared links.

8. Run User Activity Report with API

   We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
   Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
   Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

9. I want to be able to set Relay triggers for folders as well.

   Due to Relay specifications, only "files that triggered the flow" can be selected.
   In our business, we want to copy uploaded folders to another folder automatically, but it is time-consuming to manually select the destination folder each time.
   Therefore, we would like to be able to set triggers for folders.
   (Japan)
   Relayの仕様上、「フローをトリガーしたファイル」しか選択できない。
   業務上、アップロードしたフォルダを自動的に別フォルダへコピーしたいが手動で毎回コピー先をフォルダを選択するため手間が掛かってしまいます。
   そのためフォルダを対象にトリガー設定できるようにしたい。

10. Box Shield Alert for Anomalous Deletion of Folders or Data

    We would like an alert to be created if a user deletes an anomalous amount of data. We recently had an employee leave the company under bad terms and found that before we could let her go, she had deleted a bunch of folders from Box. We were able to recover them, but this would be an indicator (much like anomalous download alerts) that something is up with this employee and we should be digging in deeper.

11. Capability to restrict third party apps from creating folders on first level

    Currently, even if the tenant setting is set to allow only administrators and co-administrators to create folders on the first level, there is a security problem that third party apps can create folders on the first level even if the user-created application as a JWT application is given only the minimum permissions required to run the application, such as "app access only" and "write to all files and folders stored in Box.
    For this reason, I would like to see whether to grant administrative privileges or not clearly added to the configuration item so that it can be controlled.
    現在、テナント設定で管理者および共同管理者のみが第１階層へのフォルダ作成を許可するに設定していても
    JWTアプリケーションとしてユーザが作成したアプリケーションに「アプリアクセスのみ」「Boxに格納されているすべてのファイルとフォルダへの書き込み」という
    ほぼ最低限アプリ動作に必要な権限のみを付与した場合でも、サードパーティ製アプリからの第1階層フォルダが作成出来てしまうというセキュリティ上の問題があります。
    そのため、管理者権限を付与するかどうかを明確に設定項目に追加し、制御できるようにしてほしい。

13. Select folders from hard drive to sync with box

    Rather than syncing to a separate Box folder on my desktop, I would an application that would make it able to flag folders and files that already exist on my hard drive. I would very much prefer to be able to open my Windows Explorer and right-click on a folder and make a selection that would automatically sync that folder from where it is in my hard drive to Box.

14. Warning about creating folders with invalid characters

    The web application does not currently warn users about creating folders with invalid characters. For example, if you create a folder name that ends in a period [.] via the web, that folder never comes down to the Box client on a Windows machine. This is a limitation of windows.

    However, other cloud providers WARN users before creating the folder in the first place and some even prevent the creation of the folder (Egnyte for instance).

    A warning of "The folder you are creating contains an invalid character that may not be visible to users on Windows machines" or something to that effect goes a GREAT WAY to smoothing over the transition from a competing cloud provider to Box.

15. Relay: Involve external Users to a manual workflow as "not-owner" of the folder/file

    Hi,

    i discribe a situation:
    The Admin is the owner of all folders/files, directors has co-owner-rights and all employees are editors. It is similarly discribed in "Folder Structure Best Practices" under "Business Unit Drive"
    Now we invite some external users... not only the owner can invite them.
    Then we create some relays for specific folder, especially some manual ones, assign a task and set the Assignee to "Specify at startup"...not only the owner can do this.
    Last but not least we start the manual workflow and choose as Assignee an external user... but wait...ONLY the owner of the folder (1 person, here the admin) can do this.

    This can't be expected behavior.

    We have over 1500 external users... this is not practical.

    If we have a folder with invited external users, at least all internal users who start the manual workflow should be able to include these external users.

    Previously recommended workaround:
    If you are an non-owner of a file/folder and want to add an external user to a manual workflow, create a separate parent folder and invite the external user.
    Now you can also include these external user in manual workflows.

    So to be on the safe side, 1000 internal users are now inviting 1000 external users to one of their folders so that the manual workflows can be used. The external partners will understand, there are only 1000 new folders in their box homepage.

    Luckily our admin is not the owner of ALL folders, but the annoyance is big enough.
    In my opinion, giving co-owners these rights as well would be the bare minimum.
    Because so our employees have sick/holiday cover, but not in Box.

    Regards,

    Michael

16. Enhanced filtering/sorting when selecting folders and files

    When selecting the affected folders and files the search filtering could use some enhancements.

    I'll use the user filter options and search for a keyword but there are so many hits to filter through - it would be great to have some options on sorting the list. At the very least to sort alphabetically.

18. I would like the shared links to be automatically converted into hyperlink format instead of just displaying the URL.

    Similar to how it works in SharePoint, I would like the system to automatically convert shared links into a hyperlink format using the file or folder name, rather than displaying them as a raw URL.
    SharePointで出来るように、共有リンクを作成した際にURL形式ではなく、ファイル名やフォルダ名のハイパーリンク形式に自動変換できるようにしてほしいです。

20. Box for Office plug-in (Recent Files or Folders)

    Please increase the number of Recent Files / Folders permitted (currently fixed at 3).
    Personally I can be editing many spreadsheets in a single day, and so this quickly becomes almost useless.
    Ideally allow me to configure this with the optimum number, but just fixing at 10 or 20 would help enormously
