  1. Separate shared links for internal and external users.

    We want to be able to share links internally and externally. External shared links should only be available for 10 days while internal shared links should not expire.

    Interesting suggestion! However, this is not planned at this time due to competing priorities.

  2. Start Box Drive on windows startup instead of user login

    We have a PC that share Box content on our LAN but it's incredible that when the PC restarts Box Drive does not start until a user does login to the pc. For us it mandatory that Box Drive starts on windows startup instead of user login. We tried to schedule the action but Box process fail with an error that windows is not started in interactive mode.

    As a user, I'd like to define conditional formatting for date columns in a Box App so that I can clearly see documents with approaching deadlines and those that are overdue

  4. Avoid accidental edits! Set local OS ReadOnly flag initially on ALL Box Drive files; When User Clears local RO, auto-Lock file for editing!

    Currently a user can very easily ACCIDENTALLY change a file locally in Box Drive without locking. This can be completely avoided by this:

    EVERY file in Box Drive should initially have local OS (e.g. Windows) "Read-only" attribute set. If and when the user explicitly Clears/Unsets the Windows Read-only attribute, e.g. in Windows Explorer (or chooses "Lock File For Editing in Box Drive" from context menu), Box Drive shall AUTOMATICALLY Lock it in Box, ideally only allowing local editing within Box Drive. There could be a pop up message like "File Locked for editing in Box Drive; be sure to Unlock…

  5. Requests regarding Box For Teams V2

    I would like to use the Box For Teams V2 integration, but the following functions are bottlenecks and cannot be used.

    Therefore, I want to be able to turn off only the following functions in the tenant settings.
     
     ・Automatic creation of Box folders for teams/channels
     ・Automatic mapping of user permissions

    In most cases, Japanese companies use a controlled system in which the administrator owns the items.

    However, if folders are automatically created or permissions are automatically attached with the Box For Teams V2 integration, control cannot be taken, so we requested this.

    そのため、テナント設定で下記機能のみをOFFに出来るようにして欲しい。

  6. 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.com
    JOHNDOE@box.com

    Box will treat these emails as the same address and will not send a confirmation email to the user.

    Thank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

    We will reconsider with additional use cases and demand.

  7. List of all single file AND folder collaborations for user(s)

    We want the ability to audit/control all extant collaborations on a per user basis.

  8. Multiple files in one shared link

    We would like to send multiple documents from separate folders in a single shared link.

    Currently when you select multiple files, you are limited to files within one folder, and the files are sent with a shared link for each file.

    Possible solve: "Bundle zone" in the web UI where you could drag and drop files from different folders, and once you have all the ones you want, tell it to generate a single shared link which would display like a folder to the recipient, without the user having to rearrange their content.

  9. Add ability to set time for reminder notifications by each user or admin.

    Currently assignee will receive reminder notification 24 hours before the due date of the assigned task. Users are receiving these reminders at mid of night and they want to receive them in daytime.

    Box Relay can set the default due ("time to complete" option) like how many days and hours.
    This default due is set automatically based on when the task is started. So for many cases, the reminder will be sent out because the task is started in daytime.

    But non-Relay task (General and Approval task) can set only due date from calendar picker, like "June 16". The…

  10. Prevent users to change their own permission level

    Prevent users to cange their own permission level in order to avoid "downgrading" the permission from Co-Owner to Viewer (for example) just for yourself.

    Or not allowing a user to remove himself/herself from a folder.

  11. Approval Task With Box Relay Enhancements

    When allocating approval tasks in Box Relay, users are able to uncheck the "Invite the person in charge as a viewer" function.
    In addition, if "Invite users as viewers" is enabled, and the members in charge have been granted permission as members of a group, which prevent them from being invited to the file as viewers.

  14. Collaborator Expiration - Include Co-Owner(s) in the Email Notification

    Current Behavior:

    --Email Notification - Sent to 'affected users' (defined as Folder Owner and the original Inviter, aka the person who invited in the collaborator who is about to expire)
    --Ability to Extend Expiration Date - Folder Owner & Co-Owners

    REQUEST: Add Co-Owner(s) to the email notification distribution so that they can take the burden off the folder owner (since co-owners already have the ability to extend the expiration date).

  15. Allow Us To Move Collaborator Folders to a sub-folder without removing the permissions

    When a user shares a folder with us it sits in our Root folder. Can these show up in a Shared folder to save our Root folder having a load of odd name folders. We believe you can do this in Dropbox.

    ideally we need to be able to change the folder name at our end too without amending it at the user end.

  16. Folder Lock from Web UI

    Currently, Folder Lock can be configured only through API. We would like to be able to configure it on Web UI, e.g. Folder Settings.
    Folder Lock function is very useful, but not used widely. Probably it's because API is not very friendly for some users.

    Because of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.

  17. Personal Folder Auto-Creation

    Similar to the Okta feature (https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/36802318-Configuring-Box-to-Create-a-Personal-Shared-Folder), this request is for a native option in Box to automatically provision a 'personal folder' for each user upon provisioning (whether provisioned manually, via Bulk Add, or via auto-provisioning).

    Key Requests for this feature:
    --Ability to customize the name of the folder that's created (such as choosing the user's name + 'Personal Folder' or other custom strings of text)
    --The user's personal folder will be created in their own account and they'll be the owner of it, with no other users in it (even if restrict content creation is…

  18. We would like to obtain access logs for Box Hubs.

    I would like information about users accessing Hubs to be visible in the Activity Report.

    Currently, the only Hub-related information that can be obtained in the Activity Report is the history of using Box AI for Hubs and records of Hub admins inviting users.

    It would be very helpful if the Activity Report could display which user accessed which Hub and when.

    誰が、いつ、どの Hubにアクセスしたかをアクティビティレポートで表示したいです。
    現在は、アクティビティレポートにログを残すにはBox AI for HubでAIの機能を利用したり、Hubの管理者がコラボレータを招待したりした時でないとレポートに記録されません。

  19. Google Workspace - Add Collaborators/Check for Collaborators

    The Google Workspace add-on only allows you to create a Shared Link to share files/folders, you cannot add/remove collaborators. It would be great to have the ability to add folks as collaborators, rather than just choosing from Shared Link settings. Additionally, it would be great if when sharing the file it could be recognized that recipients on the email and/or calendar invite do not have existing permissions to the file/folder (similar to what Google does.)

  20. User Activity report should have logs for “New version upload”

    At present, it only shows as “Edit” and if a new version with a different name was uploaded on a file by mistake, the admin will not be able to find out what happened by searching for the file name.
