Default Collaboration Role, Allow all Seven options at Admin level that are available to users
Please allow the ability to set Default Collaboration Role in Admin console to any of the seven options that are currently available at the user level.
Currently the only options are Editor or Viewer. Thats not enough flexibility for Box Admins.

File request custom theme transparent logo suggestion tooltip
When putting themes for file request, using logos with existing color backgrounds does not look as clean. It would be great to add a tooltip suggestion to use a transparent logo for the user designing the theme.

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!

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:

Keep workflows active even after users are deactivated
I was reading through FAQs for Box Relay and I see that if a user is deleted their workflows are deactivated....
With no way to transfer workflows from one user to another don't you see this as a HUGE problem with the product?
If we are expected to use this in production to manage enterprise documents, what are we supposed to do when someone who created the workflows is removed? This would be a huge impact to any org. Especially if someone on a team is the creator of all the workflows. This would require someone to recreate them, and…
5 votesThanks for your feedback! An Admin flow for transferring workflows when a user is deprovisioned has been delivered in Q3.

filter for inactive users
Enable filtering by Status on the Managed Users screen. When auditing user accounts it would be very helpful to filter to inactive users only and take appropriate action on those accounts. Currently you are required to scroll through the entire user list and pick out the inactive accounts. After you take action on an account, you have to start at the top of the page again when you want to find the next inactive user.

Exports users doesn't reflect the latest users
We're using the list of users which we can export from 'Export Users' button in Users and Groups menu to verify if the user provisioning tool is working correctly on the daily basis.
Although I heard from Box that Box reports are being migrated to new data platform to improve the performance, this new Export Users report doesn't reflect the latest users. Maybe this new one reports the user list as of roughly half a day ago, so we can't our daily verification task correctly...
I think user list should reflect the latest status so…

Allow for users to create custom colors for their folders.

Users who have permission to output reports should be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights
Under the current specification, only administrators or authorized co-administrators can select the "target folders and files" when outputting the User Activity Report.
For the sake of business efficiency, I would like to see users who have permission to output reports be able to select "target folders and files" within the scope of their access rights.現在の仕様では、ユーザーアクティビティレポートを出力の際管理者または、権限の付与された共同管理者のみ「対象のフォルダとファイル」が選択可能です。
これをレポート出力権限を持っているユーザーは、業務効率上、自分のアクセス権がある範囲の中で「対象のフォルダとファイル」を選択できるようにしてほしい。11 votes -
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:
https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2015/10/dropbox-badge-now-available/17 votesWhile we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

Make Box Drive Mark for Offline (MFO) file accessible when Box Drive not running
Would like for files in Box Drive that are marked for offline (MFO) to be accessible whether or not Box Drive is currently running (e.g. before Box Drive starts up at login). Currently, offline files are only available after the Box Drive software has loaded -- this poses a problem for files that need to be available at user login time like the user profile files (Desktop/Documents/etc.). Box Sync worked fine for this purpose, but Box Drive MFO does not.
11 votesBox Drive needs to be run in order to access any of the content or features of the product.

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.

Requesting functionality to recognize an existing file name (upon upload of a new file) and option to override or save with a new name.
Issue: End users may have documents coming in via email / etc. about a deal or a client that have the same name. When saving to Box from email, if the file has the same name as an existing file it is currently saved as a new version of that file. In reality, the document may be completely different. On Windows file server, they are used to having a prompt warning them that a file already exists with that name, with an option to either save & override the file or change the file name. They'd like to have…

File request link folder-level control
Enable file requests at a folder level to restrict internal-only folders vs. not. There are existing folder-level settings that can restrict external collaboration and what type of shared link can be crated, but the same ones don't exist for File Request links. It would be great to have the same feature parity between shared links and file request links when wanting to restrict access.

Box Drive path for InDesign linked files
Background:
We’ve moved the location of Box Drive to be outside the username location for our users. This allows for multiple users to work with InDesign , collaborate, and reference the correct asset links without issue. Reference – community.box.com/t5/Deploying-Managing-Box..Issue:
However, if a user hasn’t previously viewed the file in BOX Drive (e.g. ‘downloaded it to force a local sync’) then the linking of the file still breaks. This causes the following issues : when the user opens an InDesign file, they still need to navigate to anywhere from 5 – 50 different file locations in BOX…13 votes -
Task Feature in Box Automate
In the current Box Automate, the Task outcome fails when the folder or enterprise setting is "Only folder owners and co-owners can send collaborator invites", which we understand is officially stated on the Box Support page.
However, many companies in Japan use this configuration, making the Task feature in Box Automate practically unavailable.Our understanding was that Box had initially stated the existing Box Relay features would remain available after the upgrade to Box Automate. If that is not the case, this may impact customers’ existing business operations, which we consider to be a concern.
We would like to request…

Ability to set folder notifications for external and internal collaborators within a folder.
Companies with many external collaborators have to walk each user through changing their folder notification settings so the external collaborator will be notified whenever a document is uploaded to a folder. This is extremely manual for us and their external collaborators. It would be easier if folder owners could set folder notifications for everyone within the folder so external collaborators receive the sames notifications as internal collaborators.

Users and Groups - Move "More Options" [...] Menu to Left-Hand Side of Page
Admins regularly take repeated actions in the Users and Groups tab of the Admin Console - specifically Log in as User, and Add User to Groups. If the menu could be close to the user's name, this would make manual processing much easier for admins.
