1. Trash file from its preview

   The trash command is missing from within the "..." button of the document view.
   The workaround requires a lot of extra steps: navigate to the parent folder, select the file, trash the file.
   Moreover it is not consistant with what is possible with folders: you can trash a folder from its own view.

2. Automatic retry on files with upload errors

   Currently if there is an issue with a file upload (the one I'm currently running into is the "File may be locked or in use" error) Box Sync requires a manual step where you click the Retry button in the Box Sync tray icon context menu.

   This is problematic for me because I'm trying to full automate our build pipeline. In my scenario we generate a nightly build, zip it up and copy it to the Box Sync folder. The problem for me has been that it appears that Box Sync is a bit too hasty and attempts to upload the file before the lock has been removed from the copy process.

   When Box Sync encounters this type of issue it seems reasonable for Box Sync to retry the upload later automatically.

   I think a generic feature for this problem could be to attempt to do an automatic retry on a timer for all upload errors. This could be an optional feature that users can opt into from the settings menu.

   Something like:
   - A checkbox for automatic upload retry on errors
   - Perhaps a number of retry configuration?

3. Share multiple files at once

5. Shared Link Lookup Tool

   Problem: Admins often need to do investigation of files stored in Box and all they have to go off of is the file/folder's shared link. Since admins can't search by shared link in the current Content Manager UI, a Shared Link Lookup tool would provide similar information.

   Key Features:
   -Provide ability to enter a shared link (standard or vanity URL)
   -Information returned after searching:
   -File/folder name
   -File/folder owner
   -File/folder location (Owner -> Folder hierarchy)
   -Status (whether the file/folder has been deleted or not)
   -Admin-level 'delete' (ability for the admin to delete the file on the spot)

6. Custom app to pull Access Stats on files/folders without admin privileges

   Goal: Obtain access statistics on files/folders via custom app with no admin privileges

   We have an enterprise app that manages one of our Box folders - i.e. the app is owner of the folder while most collaborators are just editors and some co-owners. Moreover, we have the 'hidden collaborators' setting enabled, which means that only owner and co-owners can view 'Access stats' in the browser. For other collaborators (being Editors) to view access stats, we would then pull the stats via the Box API - e.g. using the events endpoint. With our enterprise Box instance, however, we do not have admin privileges and cannot get this. This means we cannot pull access statistics on the various files and folders via the events endpoint with our app.

   It would be very nice if
   A) Access statistics could be available for editors on a folder with 'hidden collaborator' setting enabled.. or

   B) The events endpoint is made available for apps with no admin-privileges.. or

   C) An actual 'access stat' endpoint is made available (preferably with the python SDK)

8. Display error when entering unsupported characters when renaming folders and files

   When creating a new folder or file, if you include characters not supported by Box (other than Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane characters), receive an error.
   However, when renaming, I can name files and folders using characters other than BMP.
   (After renaming a folder or file, the character will automatically change to "_" after a while.)

   Please allow the same error to be displayed when an unsupported character is entered when renaming a folder or file,as when a new character is created.

   (日本語)
   ＜フォルダ名・ファイル名の変更時にサポートされていない文字を入力するとエラーを表示させる＞

   現在、フォルダやファイル作成時にBoxでサポートされてるUnicodeの基本多言語面 (BMP)以外の文字を入力するとエラーが表示されます。
   しかし、名称変更時にはBMP以外の文字を使用したファイル名・フォルダ名を付けることができます。
   (変更後しばらくすると自動的に「_」変わります。)

   サポートされていない文字を入力したときに、新規作成と同じようにエラーを表示できるようにしてください。

12. Display full file name on mouseover

    We have very long file names where file prefix can be 40 characters the same. In Box Web GRID view it's impossible to differentiate between the files without opening them. In list list view it's almost as bad. The file naming is set by customer policy and we cannot affect that.

    Add a mouse over popup for files to show the whole file name for Box Web.

13. Search for multiple files at one time.

    Searching for 800 unique files that are in various folders in box.

    I am trying to narrow them down and move them to a single folder for organization purposes.

    I am currently only able to search for one file at a time but would like to have a way to import a list of names and search that way or at the very least a comma separated search function.

14. Let user disable shortcut top menu () or load shortcut menu before files listing

    Hi everyone,

    whenever we user move from one folder to the next, using the web app in a browser, the page load is delayed by the shortcut menu on top. This shortcut menu displays buttons for [Upload][Folder][Word Document][Excel Spreasheet].

    The current implementation is sooo annoying, since these four buttons are loaded on page and after the files listing in the directory. Unfortunately this shifts the file list of the directory down on the page each time.

    This shifting down the file listing on the page is so annoying for browsing directories, since in that time one can't aim for clicking on files with the mouse. So it slows down the directory browsing experience of the user by around a second with each directory change.

    I suggest two solutions:
    1. The menu becomes optional and the user can disable it.
    2. The implementation is changed, so that the shortcut menu is loaded before the file list. In this way the file listing doesn't move down on the page after it is first displayed.

    Looking forward seeing this resolved.

    Many thanks and all the best
    Dirk

15. Allow Folder Actions on "the folder of the file that triggered the flow"

    When trying to build dynamic workflows, you currently can work with and get a handle on either:

    • Folders can triggered the flow
    • Files that triggered the flow
    • Folders/Files created/copied from previous stages

    There are workflows, however, where you have a trigger on the file(s) but you want to move that entire folder to progress the flow.

    A "the folder of the file that triggered the flow" handle would be helpful in this scenario to allow you start a workflow, either through a file action or a manual start...assign tasks to that file and then be able to get a handle on this file's parent folder to be able to perform folder actions on it (especially "move" folder). This way you can easily group files together and move them through the workflow....while at the same time set file actions on the original file that triggered the flow.

17. Display of confirmation message screen to prevent accidental operation of Box Drive

    When using Box Drive, it is common for users to accidentally delete, move, or copy files.

    When manipulating large numbers of files, this failure can lead to serious information leaks and other problems.
    Therefore, it would be helpful to improve functionality such as displaying a confirmation message when deleting, moving, or copying files to better prevent accidental operations.

18. Shield reports suspicious IP location when opening files through O365. Adds lots of unnecesary noise

    In Shield, when a user previews/opens a file to Office Online it tracks as a suspicious IP location. It would be great if it could be separated and designated a lower priority than a genuine account compromise. Just a suggestion to clean up the Shield alert queue

19. Add support for browser-initiated Print Preview when "showDownload=true" is applied to preview URL

    Currently when creating a preview link and using the browser's Print function, the preview (and thus printing) functionality is disabled.

    It would be helpful for user experience if the user didn't have to click our printer button in the previewer (which opens a new window then uses the system print preview) and could instead use the system controls for printing (cmd-P for example) if a preview URL is appended with "showDownload=true"

    Not planned. If the customer really wants, they could use our Representation APIs to build the desired flow themselves.

20. Provide a complementary Event in the Events API that a file has been successfully scanned for viruses

    We would like to take an action on a file once it has been successfully scanned for viruses. The files are being uploaded from an external party through a white labeled application.

    We understand we would get an event that a malicious file has been found. We would also like the opposite event that a file has been scanned and has not been found to be malicious via the API.
