    Thanks for your note!

    This runs against our design philosophy of the Web App experience where everything can be achieved in the browser.

  2. Open Shared Link Controls: Add "Default" option for 'download' permissions on Shared Links

    Example: Disable 'download' permissions on all shared links by default, but allow users to re-enable 'download' permissions on a link-by-link basis.

    Allow admins to default the "Let link viewers" option in Content & Sharing in Enterprise Settings. Currently we can restrict or allow this feature, but we cannot set the default option like we can we shared link access levels.

  3. Change wording of a shared file to a more specific title other than "Shared"

    When a Shared Link is created, the file bar in the Web App shows the term "Shared".

    It would be beneficial if this showed the specific nature of the shared link, for example instead of "Shared" the "Share" button would change to "In Your Company", "In This Folder", "Everyone".

    This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  4. Direct Integration with the Microsoft Project Desktop & Online Apps

    Users using these applications would like to leverage a native Box integration (similar to what already exists in Word/Excel/PowerPoint via Box for Office and the native Box for Office Online integrations).

  7. Integrate iOS 9 PDF Markup feature with Box iOS app and/or Capture app

    There is an iOS 9 feature, Markup, which is currently not available from within Box app. This iOS 9 feature would allow any user to open a PDF from the Box app and provide the ability to annotate, markup, and sign.

    We will consider supporting Box annotations as those will remain with the document across all Box services.

  8. "Failed logins" on Enterprise Settings should clear the number of failed login when a user logins successfully

    Currently, the number of failed login piles up even after a user logins successfully. It's strange, so it should be cleared when a user logins successfully.

    This is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature.

  9. "Save files to device" settings to separate for Box Capture

    Currently, "Save files to device" settings on Enterprise settings affect both Box Mobile App and Box Capture. However, we want to do the settings separately.

    This is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

  10. Allow Auto-Provisioning from Box Sync App

    Currently, users who get Box Sync pushed to their computer (so they see the pop-up Box Sync login page) but haven't gone to the webapp to auto-provision their account end up not being able to log into Box Sync as the Sync login flow does NOT support auto-provisioning.

    Request: Allow a user to auto-provision their account from any endpoint, including Box Sync.

  11. Collaborator Expiration Email: Provide Link to Relevant Documentation

    Currently, the email that users receive when a collaborator's access to a folder they own is expiring soon does not provide any relevant links to Box Community documentation explaining collaborator expirations, how to extend them, etc. This creates user confusion as to 1) why the collaborators are expiring, and 2) how to extend the collaborator's access to the folder.

    Thank you for the feedback. While we understand your request and agree that additional information in the email would be valuable, this feature is not on our roadmap at this time. Should that change in a future, we’ll post updates on this thread.

  12. Bookmarked items do not sync and are not visible in the Sync client

    We use Box bookmarks to avoid content duplication. Since we also use Sync, it is a confusing end-user experience

  13. Change the default message in text Box when inviting new collaborator to a folder

    Would like to be able to change the default text in this section to another default text. Currently, you can manually edit this section every time you add a new user to a folder. We want to be able to change what populates this section by default.

    We are unlikely to build a setting to enable changes to this default. However, if there is a better default message that may work for all of our customers, we are happy to reconsider.

  14. Aliases - Better Email Alias Management from Managed Users Page

    Currently, email aliases for users are poorly exposed in the Users page of the Admin Console and we also provide poor alias management functions on the users tab too.

    Key Gaps:
    1. No ability to promote an alias to be primary directly from the Managed Users page (must use instant log in - which not all co-admins have - in order to make this change)
    2. No ability to remove an alias from the Managed Users page

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the performance and user interface to manage users before we add enhancements to manage email aliases.

  15. Event Stream for move events wants both current parent and past parent folder IDs

    After a user does a move for a folder or file, admin event logs stream should show the past and current folder IDs the item lived in.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  18. Report on Sync Errors

    Our admin would like to report on sync errors, e.g. user receiving error, date of error, type of machine - Windows vs. Mac, OS X 10.11.4 vs 10.11.6, etc.).

    This will allow us to troubleshoot and hone in on issues that may be specific to certain environments, monitor trends in issues, recommend best practices

  19. Support for Differential or Bit-level Sync

    We would like support for Sync to recognize differential changes made to a document and only sync the changes, instead of the entire document, especially for large documents.

  20. Usage stats per region of the world (Global stats)

    We have global offices / teams dispersed globally. Admin teams currently have no way to monitor Box usage broken down by these teams (workaround suggestion is to create groups by office, but lots of admin overhead).

    Suggestion is to use localization settings, IP address, or Box regional setting and categorize by country or region (Europe, APAC, LATAM, NATAM, etc.) to allow admins to report on usage stats by global region. (heat map of the world, etc.) Current reports with an additional column/filter.
