  1. EMM Multi-Window Support for iPad

    I need to be able to open multiple documents and easily switch between them with tabs (like iOS Safari perhaps) and I often need to display two documents side by side or have two views of the same document.

    During our investigation we determined that this flow was not a highly desired capability for how users currently want to work in Box. It would also require a shift in how our application was build.

  2. Customize shared link expiration for collaborators

    When folder owners choose to extend collaborator expirations clicking on the Clock icon, it will only extend the preset period.

    Thank you for the request! If there is more demand for this feature, we can consider it.

  3. Ability to adjust the search string, while maintaining the current set of filtering criteria.

    As users are searching and adjusting advanced search filters many of times they realize they need to adjust the original search request, and this can be quite cumbersome when they have to repeat the advanced search filter settings.

  7. Preview: Support for Microsoft PowerPoint in-slide animations

    We would like to deliver presentation collateral that has animated PowerPoint content. Ideal scenario is to have the sales team be able to present content directly from Box (via tablet) without the need of a third party solution. Introducing additional solutions opens up more risk in terms of sensitive content leakage.

  8. Users with viewer permissions can't access watermarked files too big to preview

    When a collaborator has Viewer permissions and downloads a watermarked file that is too large for Preview, the resulting download only shows the Preview error message with watermarking. This means that the Viewer collaborator cannot preview the file in the browser or even download a viewable copy.

    In our specific case, the issue occurs with Excel Spreadsheets. The spreadsheet will contain more rows/columns/sheets than are capable of previewing in the browser.

    This may be expected behavior, but we would like to be able to collaborate with Viewers while still leveraging the Watermarking feature.

  9. Pre-Render Previews After File Upload

    Currently, Box will only go through the 'generating preview' process when the first user goes to Preview a file.

    Request: pre-render files once uploaded such that users (even the first to preview a file) don't have to see the 'generating preview...' progress bar anymore.

    Pre-conversion (converting the file when it’s uploaded) will only benefit a small amount of users. We will revisit this if user behavior changes.

  10. Ability to create a custom group name that will be displayed on the collaborator list without affecting the SSO integration

    Currently, groups only have names unlike user accounts that have names and aliases. However, since we have SSO groups enabled, we have found that is impossible to rename groups without causing issues.

    Because of SSO groups, we had to have a specific naming convention for our groups so we can know which groups to send to Box. All our group names begin with COMPANYBOXPD and then the corresponding team name. Since these groups are shown as collaborators, it will be nice to be able to edit the group to display a user friendly group rather than the technical…

    Thank you for the submission! This is a reasonable request. However, we will need to hear from additional customers before prioritizing this request.

  11. Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality

    Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:

    templateKey = template
    filters = {"value": 2}

    Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.

    a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.

    b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…

  13. Device Limiting

    We would like users to limit the number of devices a user can have connected to their Box account at a single time; but would like users to be able to manage those devices themselves, so that when a user gets a new phone they can "remove" their old device from their account settings and log into the new phone without having to contact an administrator.

    Definitely understand why our customers ask this and agree it would be useful.

    However, it is a fairly large amount of work to get this implemented and I am not sure it would be used often.

    I am going to mark it as “Not Planned” right now, but if we hear this request come up more often, we can review adding it to the backlog.

  18. Mobile Preview log

    Currently, mobile app's Preview action of some type of documents is logged as "download." It doesn't show actual actions, so it should be logged as "Preview."

    On Mobile, we use the download API call within the content SDK to grab the file for Preview purposes, which is why it is recorded as a download.

  19. Request to Add Overwrite/Version Functionality to File Copy Operations via API

    Currently the only way to add a version to a file is to download it and upload the new version with the If-Match header.

    We are archiving files when a new file version is uploaded to a "main" folder, and to do that we have to download the existing version to our server and then generate a separate request to upload the file.

    Ideally, we would be able to combine the requests into one - a COPY (https://box-content.readme.io/reference#copy-a-file) that can overwrite an existing file in the destination folder if the appropriate etag is supplied during the copy request.

    This is not something we will build due to other roadmap commitments.

    Alternatively, you could always upload latest version to “backup folder,” delete file from “current version” folder, then copy “backup folder” version to “current version” folder.

    This will get you 100% version history in backup folder and avoid the need to download & upload the file a second time.

  20. SSO auto-provisioning via mobile

    We're running into an issue with their largely mobile workforce around SSO auto-provisioning via mobile. There is a pretty significant population of users who have attempted to log in for the first time via the Box for EMM app without having previously created a managed user account through the web app.
