Users should know what they are exposing outside
Is it possible to have a simple page accessible by a user, to get :
- all the shared links he has created (especially open links accessible by anyone outside, with or without password and expirity date)
- and old outside collaborations (with Box accounts needed)
?A lot of users create collaboration and shared links, and many months or years later they don't remember that these parameters are still in place (even if they don't work anymore with those external users).
It is a breach of security, exposing data outside of our company without knowing it…5 votes -
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.

Grid View - Bring Back The Slider (adjusts the image size previews in Grid View)
Recent changes to the Grid View noted here, https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/10117683547539-List-view-and-grid-view-enhancements, have removed a key feature that had become part of my companies workflows.
Prior to this update, the Grid View had an slider next to the button we use to toggle between the Grid and List views. Today, that slider is gone.
Now the ONLY way to view the Grid is as thumbnails. My company of 500+ uses Box daily and a BIG part of our workflows relies on this feature. We never imagined this would be removed and it is causing us to discuss alternative options. We are an…

Rename 'include subfolders' switch in User Activity report to 'include activity within subfolders'
There has been some confusion, as not enabling this switch still includes activity directly impacting the subfolders that sit in the parent level.

Tags
I'd like to see Box further realize and exploit the power of tags. From what I have seen, Box has only utilized the tip of the iceberg when it comes to tags. Below is a list of capabilities that would be amazing to use!
- Tag Viewer: a place to manage, rename, delete tags, and more.
- Tags appear and clickable in search results
- Ability to tag document in editor
I’ve been a devout Evernote user for years and they have a strong tag game. Evernote has been the backbone of my business for 10 years, and tags are the backbone of…

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。13 votes -
Identify which files and folders a user owns within a shared Teams folder, that are not shared or collaborated with others
We encountered a situation where certain files inside a shared drive were only visible to one user, while others couldn’t access them. This caused confusion because the files appeared to be part of the shared structure but were effectively private. A feature that highlights or filters these user-owned, non-shared items would help prevent misunderstandings and improve transparency.

Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.
Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.
Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.
Dropbox:

Box Drive: Change cache location
It would be really awesome to allow the box drive cache location to be placed somewhere other than C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Box\Box\cache, say on on a separate volume that doesn't consume space on C: (boot / application drive). Ideally I would like to place it on my second ssd D:

Request for improvement of Includes Subfolders feature in User Activity Report
( Japanese follows English)
The support article is as follows, but I would like to request that the Includes Subfolders feature also works and outputs the data in “View” for the following two reasons.
The report output screen does not show the fact that the feature does not work in “View”, so there is a possibility of misunderstanding.
It takes longer to complete [Run] than [View],
Warning:
When the Includes Subfolders feature is on, the View option doesn't work - it doesn't pull events in the subfolders.

Inactive users are not listed when managing groups
When in the Admin Console and viewing groups, if I go to edit the membership list of a group, the list does not appear to display inactive users, but if I search for a user in the group it will display the user. However, if viewing the members of a group through the normal interface, it will display all members, even inactive ones.
This is potentially confusing as it means that the list of members a group admin would see will be different, and if they want to remove someone, they will not be able to just browse…
4 votesThank you for the feedback! IMO, we should not display inactive users in the groups as the group should keep a membership of all the active users. Thanks!

Usage Logs - Better Reporting when Shared Link Permissions are Changed
Right now you can see WHEN a user changed the value of a shared link (closed to open for example) but not to what, so if a link was changed, we have to guess as to what level of access. This seems like a gap security wise and may lead to us shutting down shared links.
14 votesOur Enterprise Events API already provides information about what has changed in the shared link. Let us know if you are looking for something different.

Relay：Users who have already been invited in a group will not be invited with "Invite assignees as Viewers/Editors"
[Background]
A new feature has been added to Relay called "Invite assignees as Virwers/Editors".
"Invite assignees as Virwers/Editors" are sent to users who have already been invited in the group.
This is confusing because additional invitations are carried out to users who have already been invited.
Furthermore, operationally, this requires the collaboration to be removed from the relevant file each time.
*As a company rule, we are not allowed to collaborate with individuals individually, except in groups to which they have been previously invited by Admin.[Request]
Users who have already been invited to a group should…24 votes -
Allow the admin to change the user addresses to upper case letters
Currently you cannot change user addresses if you are only changing the letter cases

JOHNDOE@box.comBox will treat these emails as the same address and will not send a confirmation email to the user.

We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

More flexible permission settings: control external Sign sending
When Box Sign is enabled for a user, he/she can send sign requests, check the contents of requests shared with them, and view their inbox.
However, there are users for whom I do not want to allow sending sign requests, but I do want them to be able to check their inbox.For example, our executives who frequently approve or sign documents in Box Sign but do not need to send signature requests by themselves.
I believe it is a potential security risk to give users the authority to send signature requests even though they do not…28 votes -
A function that allows users to check classification labels at the folder level from the mobile app.
When storing highly confidential information in Box, it is necessary for each end user to recognize that the folder as a whole contains confidential information.
While BoxWeb can recognize folders that confidential information by using classification labels, the mobile app (Box for EMM) cannot.
Since users need to be aware that the folder as a whole handles confidential information, please implement a function that allows users to check classification labels at the folder level from the mobile app.<モバイルアプリからフォルダレベルの分類ラベルを確認できる機能>
Boxへ機密性の高い情報を格納するにあたり、エンドユーザーそれぞれがフォルダ全体として機密情報が格納されていることを認識する必要があると考えます。
BoxWebからは分類ラベルを利用することで機密情報保管フォルダを認識可能ですが、モバイルアプリ(Box for EMM)からでは確認できません。
