Email invitation notifications sent to users who do not have a Box account
Please display the "system email signature" text in the invitation email sent when inviting a user who does not have a Box account.
The existing behavior is that if you enter the text specified in [Management Console > Enterprise Settings > System Email Signature], the
The specified text is not displayed in the content of invitation e-mails to users who do not have a Box account.
This feature will make it easier for users who receive the e-mail to know that it is not a spam e-mail.
Also, by specifying company-specific text, users of business partners can…4 votes -

Warn users that annotations will not be added to a Word document as comments
Since Annotations do not get added to Word documents as comments, a warning should be presented to users stating this to avoid any confusion by the user who may be expecting this to happen.

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.

Allow users to REPLY TO folder invitations
When I invite a user to a folder, they receive an email.
Today the email subject is:
My Name has invited you to work together in "Folder Name"
The From in the email is:
My email address on behalf of My name noreply@box.comIt would be extremely helpful for users to be able to reply directly to the invitation back to me. Instead, the users get an NDR.
We work with several other providers, and their notifications have the reply to: set as the user sending it.

Better reporting / auditing of folders marked for offline use

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.

Allow admins to report on activity of external collaborators.
We want to report on external collaborator usage of our specific content for a number of reasons:
1) to be able to access if their external collaborators are no longer using our data and should be removed
2) to help us understand how their internal users are working with people outside of the enterprise.
Right now, the reporting is limited to showing when people have accepted folders, or users can go to access stats - neither of these options is sufficient.
Ability to see activity of external Collaborators.
a. Downloads, uploads, previews, edits, etc.
b. We can see…117 votes -
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…

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.

Request for Improvement of the “People with the Link” Feature in Box
Request for Improvement of the “People with the Link” Feature in Box
We would like to request the following improvements to the “People with the link” option within Box’s Share Link feature, which is used to grant viewing or downloading access to folders or files for organisations or email addresses that do not have a Box account or existing folder permissions.
At present, requiring the link creator to manually set a password is rather cumbersome, and as a result, many users choose not to do so. Since there is no enforcement mechanism, some organisations restrict or even prohibit the…

Provide a way to remove duplicate files throughout a folder and all sub folders
I have a user who copied all the content in multiple folders some how and created duplicate files everywhere in the folder structure. All the duplicate files had a (1) at the end but also had a few files with (email address) at the end as well. Not sure why the (email address) showed up at the end, over the (1).
Never the less, I need a way as an admin or even a user to search for all duplicate files, within a folder/sub folders, and allow me to find all files with *(1) and provide me the list of…

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 -
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 -

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.

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.
