  1. Generated alerts from the Box.com system for data classification policies that have found sensitive data

    When a data classification is set to detect social security or credit card numbers and detects that, generate an alert email to be sent to the Admins. This was an option under the old Governance solution. That ability was lost under the new Shield Classification method. Why are third party tools required, such as a SIEM, to get notifications of sensitive data?

  2. Remove or Show a Different Box Admin Address to Enterprise Users

    In the Account tab of the user Account Settings screen, users can scroll down & see our Box Admin service account e-mail address, which we need to keep invisible. (We certainly don't want users spamming it when we have a help desk.)

    How can we either eliminate showing the Admin Contact here or show a different address? (This should be an Admin Console setting.)

    This part of the product design does not show any regard for an enterprise with more than a few IT folks.

  3. Option to have approval process for sharing a folder or file.

    In some folders, you want to allow, shared links, but would like to have some management oversight of this process. It would be beneficial at a parent folder level (and therefore cascading to all children folder) to have the option to "request to share file" in addition to the other functions related to restricting link creation or collaborator invitation.
    Instead of relying on the "appropriate party" to be configured to receive notifications that an item has been shared, this would allow them to be ahead of the curve before a share is actually created.

  4. Box drains my iphone 7 battery, even though it shouldn't be open or running in the background

    Each morning I use a "Numbers" app file which is saved to Box on my iphone so that I can use it on my MacBook pro. The problem is whilst I haven't directly opened the Box app to do this save, it opens and continues to run in the background and drain the battery (60% in an hour is typical). Eventhough in the app settings "Background app refresh" is off as is "Notifications", I can only stop this drain if I turn the phone off and back on again. I am running ios 14.2 and I keep all…

  6. File Deletion Command

    Hello,
    I’d like to bring up a suggestion that could help prevent errors and the loss of important documents.

    I think it would be better—and essential—to move the “Trash” command, which is located in the drop-down menu (after clicking the three dots), well below the “Download” command.
    In fact, I think the “Download” command is used very frequently for files available on the drive. It’s easy to accidentally click the wrong button, depending on how careful you’re being.
    If the “Trash” command—which deletes a file—were placed at the very bottom of the drop-down menu and highlighted in a different color,…

  7. a better way to handle people wanting to collaborate with you - scams

    Once scammers have your email address you receive a TON of "user x added you to collaborate with" communications and it is very tedious to remove (decline) them, as you have to do it one by one, each taking multiple clicks. make a way for me to "select all" those who want to collaborate with me and decline them ALL at once. I'm so close to just deleting my box account as I get 2-3 notifications of people (scammers) wanting to collaborate with me and takes me a long time to decline them all.

  8. Remove 'Get our app to view this on mobile' Text/Link in Emails for EMM-Enabled EIDs OR Allow Link Customization

    For customers that use Box for EMM (and have disabled the standard Box apps), the 'get our app to view this on mobile' link/text in the standard Box email notifications (like for @mentions, uploads, etc.) is confusing because users in that EID won't actually be able to log into the standard Box app that it links to.

    REQUEST:
    1. Either provide the option to remove this text from emails
    OR
    2. Allow customization of this text to change the link that it points to (so a customer can link to their software/app catalog where users download the Box for…

    Hey there! Thanks for submitting this feedback, but due to competing priorities, we cannot put this ask on our roadmap at this time.

  9. Clarify that the "__ additional items" link in batch email notifications don't apply to the user listed above it

    Currently when batch notifications contain more actions, there is a note at the bottom that says "[number] additional items. Click View All to view."

    However, the placement of it is immediately below another user's action, which could be interpreted as "x additional items" acted on by that user, when that isn't the case.

  10. removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app

    Hey there,

    I’d like to request the removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app for Mac. When I delete a file, the system prompts me to confirm the action, which I find unnecessary and disruptive to my workflow. Since deleting a file requires deliberate actions—right-clicking and selecting delete—the additional confirmation step is redundant.

    In my line of work, I frequently delete files, and this extra step adds unnecessary friction to my process. If a file is deleted by mistake, it can easily be restored from the Trash folder, making the confirmation prompt an unnecessary inconvenience.

    I…

  11. Enhance Box SSO to support metadata based certificate management

    Requested Enhancement:
    Support configuring a SAML Metadata URL instead of requiring static metadata uploads
    Automatically retrieve and refresh metadata on a scheduled basis (at least every 24 hours)
    Automatically trust both current and rollover signing certificates published in IdP metadata
    Cache the last known valid metadata if the Metadata URL is temporarily unavailable
    Provide administrator logging and notifications when metadata retrieval or processing fails

    Business Benefits:
    Aligns with enterprise identity management best practices
    Reduces manual administrative effort for certificate rotation
    Minimizes the risk of authentication outages during certificate rollover
    Supports compliance with increasingly shorter certificate lifecycles
    Eliminates support dependency…

  12. Enhancement of Management Console Features for Tracking Item Counts in Folders

    While the Box management console allows us to check the data usage capacity, we would like to request the implementation of a feature that enables us to view the number of items in each folder. Although Box can be utilized with unlimited data capacity, we have been advised by Box that behavior may become unstable if the item count in any root folder exceeds 10 million items.

    Given this situation, it would be greatly beneficial to enrich the administrative functionalities on the management console. We would like to see features such as displaying the “current item count” for each root…

  13. My folder has disappeared on 25th Feb

    For some reason my folder called "NewCo spin-off" has disappeared on 25th of Feb. I talked with IBM support for 2 hours, the girl said that she will raise a ticket but she didn't. Below is the chat. Can you please investigate this issue - why did it happen? People were using it and all of them ask me where the data is.
