  3. Add ability for users to open a folder in Box Drive from the Web App

    Add some kind of "open in Box Drive" option for a folder. Clicking this would cause Box Drive to open the appropriate folder locally.

    This seems like it would be better solved with a search improvement to Box Drive. If not, let us know in the comments.

  4. Please include the Box Sync app to use Windows 10's Metered connection setting. Disabling box sync on metered connection (Cell Hot Spots)

    Give the user the option to enable or disable syncing on a metered connection. A lot of the time I want to sync while at home or the office. But I dont need to download 500mb of co-worker changes while I just needed to check my email.

  7. I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files

    Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
    As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages

    ■procedure
     ①Lock the target file
     ②Download the file and update it locally
     ③Upload updated files
     ④Unlock

    ■demerit
     Many steps and cumbersome
     If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.

    Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

  9. Ability to select external users who are collaborating on a folder to be notified of workflows created in Relay

    Currently, it is possible to set external users as notification recipients for workflows created in Relay only under certain conditions.

    Conditions:
     ・The folder/file is owned by the creator of the Relay Workflow.
     ・It is the external user who is invited to this folder/file that is set as the notification destination.

    There are many situations in which we want to send notifications to external users in Relay workflows.
    However, in a tenant running a closed folder configuration, it is rare that the workflow creator is the owner of the folder.

    Request:
    For managed users who are collaborating on…

  10. Box Hubs for CANVIEWPATH users

    Users with CANVIEWPATH want the capability to specify folders/files by their IDs when adding contents to Box Hubs. Currently, folders and files under the CANVIEWPATH folder are grayed out and cannot be narrowed down from the top folders.
    The only way to identify them is by searching its folder name, which contains the risk of mistaking it with the folders with similar names.
    Therefore we request to use folder ID to accuratrely identify and select the appropriate folders.

    (日本語)
    CANVIEWPATHを利用しているユーザーが、Hubにフォルダ/ファイルを掲載する際に、フォルダIDやファイルIDで指定したい。
    現在は、CANVIEWPATHフォルダ配下のフォルダやファイルはグレーアウトして上位フォルダから絞り込むことができません。
    特定するには、フォルダ名で検索しかありませんが、名称が似ているフォルダと間違う危険もあるので、フォルダIDを利用できるようにしてほしい。

  11. more keystrokes = worse user experience

    In the last month, when I create a new folder I've noticed I now have to tab into the field to name the folder. It didn't used to work this way. Previously, upon creating a new folder, the cursor would automatically be waiting for me to type in the folder name. This isn't the first time that Box has updated a feature to require more keystrokes. The same thing happened with the Share>Create Link feature sometime within the last year. It takes one or two more keystrokes to create an open sharable link now.

    So this request is specific in…

  12. Add new options for "file event" when creating a relay workflow

    Please add the option "New version or Updated" when creating a workflow for a "file event". The new upload option doesn't work if we're simply making an update/edit to an existing document.

  13. 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:

    https://docs.box.com/reference#create-a-shared-link-for-a-file

    https://docs.box.com/reference#create-a-shared-link-for-a-folder

    This is rather time consuming or impossible for companies who do not know how to use the API

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

    We will reconsider with additional use cases.

  16. The ability to add an auto-expiration on specific external collaborators access to a specified file or folder.

    I would like an Expiration option date picker to be added to the Collaboration Invite window. This will allow our company to let a user privilege expire without us being forced to expire by auto-deleting a folder, or sharing a link that expires but can also be shared with others in the meantime.

    Unfortunately this is not planned in the near-term, but please do keep adding use cases so we can consider this request for the future.

  17. We want to make it easier to change the owner of a workflow in Box Relay.

    In Japan, organizational changes and personnel transfers occur frequently, which necessitates changing the owner of workflows in Box Relay.
    Currently, to change the owner, users have to transfer the workflow to another user and disable the original workflow.

    This process is not intuitive and is cumbersome for users. Additionally, there are too many steps involved. As a result, even though Relay is a good feature, it feels difficult to use and does not gain user adoption.

    We would like to see improvements that allow for a one-click transfer of ownership.
    For example, adding an option to change the…

  20. Change a specification of the PST time given when conflicting item's name on Box Relay.

    Currently, no matter what timezone users/enterprise set in its settings, the PST timestamp will be added to the item's name when conflicting name on Relay.

    The specification will be changed to add the date and time depending on the user/enterprise settings.
