1. List View of Marked For Offline Files

   It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

2. Respect the EID's Shared Link Default when Using 'Upload & Attach' in Outlook to Save to 'All Files'

   When using Box for Office inside of Outlook, specifically using the 'Upload and Attach' button when composing a new email, users are able to choose a Shared Link access level (such as 'people with the link') even if that access level is disabled in their EID. Once the user clicks upload, they receive an error because the shared link was not able to be generated due to that restriction. This behavior specifically occurs when the user is choosing to save to their 'All Files' page when using the Upload & Attach feature.

   If the user chooses a specific folder (a location other than their All Files page) Box for Office DOES do validation and is 'smart enough' to remove the access levels that are disabled in the EID of the folder owner.

   REQUEST: Add this same 'validation' when users are saving to their All Files page.

3. Improvement plans about privacy settings of folders

   Are there any improvement plans below?

   BoxNote is not available when a folder is set privacy - "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" - active.

   OfficeOnline is not available when you set folder privacy - "Hide collaborators and their activities from non-owners" - active.

   I often want to refer to Boxnote and MS Office documents for the purpose of reference much data and information with our business partners.

4. Box Hubs for CANVIEWPATH users

   Users with CANVIEWPATH want the capability to specify folders/files by their IDs when adding contents to Box Hubs. Currently, folders and files under the CANVIEWPATH folder are grayed out and cannot be narrowed down from the top folders.
   The only way to identify them is by searching its folder name, which contains the risk of mistaking it with the folders with similar names.
   Therefore we request to use folder ID to accuratrely identify and select the appropriate folders.

   （日本語）
   CANVIEWPATHを利用しているユーザーが、Hubにフォルダ/ファイルを掲載する際に、フォルダIDやファイルIDで指定したい。
   現在は、CANVIEWPATHフォルダ配下のフォルダやファイルはグレーアウトして上位フォルダから絞り込むことができません。
   特定するには、フォルダ名で検索しかありませんが、名称が似ているフォルダと間違う危険もあるので、フォルダＩＤを利用できるようにしてほしい。

5. 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.

6. Folders accessed via Box for Salesforce do not appear in Box Drive until re-login

   We’re finding that when a user visits a folder from Box for Salesforce, they then have access to the client folder from Box.com but it does not appear in Box Drive until they log out of Box Drive and back in.

   Salesforce folders appear in the latest version of Box Drive without requiring log out/in. If you're seeing this issue, please file a ticket with our Box Support team.

7. Box Drive Accidental Deletion

   Since the introduction of Box Drive end users that haven't read the documentation and skip through the walkthrough aren't used to seeing all of the files and folders.

   The user without realizing, then believes that all of these files and folders either aren't needed or are taking up physical space on their hard drive.  The user then either randomly deletes select files and folder or just deletes everything within Box Drive.  A solution is needed to either further alert or prevent this.  One other possible solution is to create a process to fully restore all of the deletions and collaborations.

   When this happens, it literally deletes all of the files and folders from Box.  For the user that made the deletion, it will also remove them as a collaborator from those files and folders the user didn't own.

   This causes a number of issues and use cases:

   1. The user realizes the mistake, stops the deletion and restores all of the data from the Trash via the Box UI. -Since the user was removed as a Collaborator, it is physically impossible to restore the shared folders and files because those physically sit in the Owner's Trash.  The Owner or an Admin has to manually restore the data.  -Depending on the timing if the restore is done versus the deletion, the user may or may not still be a collaborator on the Parent/Child folders, thus causing Orphaned Folders and Files during the restore.  In this case, all of the Orphaned Files and Folders will be restored to the user that is restoring the data without any of the previous Collaborators

   2.  The user creates a ticket with the Admin and the Admin manually restores the data; however, this can still have all of the same issues as #1 unless the data is all restored without breaking the Parent/Child relationships

   Current Admin recommended steps for resolution:
   1.  Run the Collaboration Report EVERY day
   2.  As soon as the issue is reported, run the User Activity Report for the user for the last 30 days (this will help when checking the unique ID's of deleted versus restored in Step #10), specifically selecting the "Moved to trash" (under File Management) and "Removed collaborator" (under collaboration)
   3.  Filter through the report to see what folders the user has been removed from as well as how many items were deleted and from where (specifically looking for the parent folders to not cause orphaning when restoring)
   4.  Based on that list, take the Collaboration report from #1 and filter it based off of the user that made the deletions email in column I named Collaborator Login.  This provides the list of folders and folder Owners that once the data is restored could still possibly have data in their trash
   5.  Login to the user's account or have the user that deleted the data, change the Files and Folders Per Page to 100 in Account Settings
   6.  Go to the Trash and select the "Items I Deleted Drop" down and either select the items to restore or select "Restore All" (this could restore files that truly should be deleted)
   7.  If there were no errors restoring, then run the Activity report again with the same settings from step #2 and also include "Restored from trash" (Under File Management), if there were errors skip to Step #11 otherwise go to step #8
   8.  Filter the report for "Trash" and take all of the Unique ID's for the "Affected ID" Column G and de-dupe that in a new sheet
   9.  Filter the report for "Undelete" and take all of the Unique ID's for the "Affected ID" Column G and de-dupe that in another new sheet
   10.  Compare those ID's, if they data sets are the same then all data has been restored.  Please note that if a "Restore all" was done on the trash this could include data deleted before that date and may have restore id  since the reports include 30 days
   11.  If the data sets don't match, then take the Collaboration report from #4 and as an Admin, log into each individual account and restore the deleted file from the Trash just like in #6 or reach out to the user's and have them do this (if files were orphaned, please check the root level for the user that restored the data)
   12.  To be 100%, the same activity report from #7 will need to be ran for every user that data was restored from but in this case only for the respective day and then compare the same way as step #10 with the existing ID's gathered in step #10
   13.  Finally, if still this doesn't line up log back into the account that deleted the data and check the root level for the possibly Orphaned files/folders

   This is the only way to be certain 100% everything has been restored

   Since the introduction of Box Drive end users that haven't read the documentation and skip through the walkthrough aren't used to seeing all of the files and folders.

   The user without realizing, then believes that all of these files and folders either aren't needed or are taking up physical space on their hard drive.  The user then either randomly deletes select files and folder or just deletes everything within Box Drive.  A solution is needed to either further alert or prevent this.  One other possible solution is to create a process to fully restore all of the deletions and… more

8. Bookmark File Creation Feature for Box Files: Shared, Editable, and Folder-Selectable

   Ability to create a Bookmark file for file on Box quickly:

   We'd like to get a feature like creating a shortcut on Windows,

   1. There is an option to create a bookmark on each file
   2. People can select folder where created bookmark file is located into

   Unfortunately, collection cannot help us out since collection can only be seen by yourself and others cannot see someone's collection.

9. Allow default sorting to "Favorites" and created "Collections" so that they appear alphabetically.

   If you have dozens or hundreds of folders in your "Favorites" and they are not sorted alphabetically, then it is nearly impossible to find your subject folder. Just make Favorites and Collections default sort alphabetically or give us the choice to set the default. Other people may want the last visited folder to be at the top, but still others may want to see it alphabetically. Please give us the option to do so as a default treatment.

12. 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.

13. Ability to block external invitations for collaboration

    We don't want users accepting any external invites to external company shares but we want them to be able to share folders with any company. Basically, we only ever want to be the folder owner.

    We have a rule that only we can create the folders and share them out but this sometimes is accidentally overlooked. In addition, Box does not have an option to "block outside collaborator invitations" only an option to completely turn off inbound/outbound sharing or white list domains.

14. BOX Error when transferring files from Public to All other Folders

    The error message when transferring files from Public to All Other Folders is a little misleading. I would argue here that the system is asking for more of a confirmation before proceeding as opposed to reporting an error. The fact that this says “error occurred” and shows up in red doesn’t do a good job of conveying that you can do this if you click the Details button … just a question of whether you know what you are doing or not.

15. Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory

    It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

    It would be great to have a relay folder action which empties a folder. Currently folder and files can only be deleted.
    We use Box folders for mail-2-box actions, and very ofter users simply forget to remove a file from the folder. I want to achive a time-controlled trigger which empties the respective folders ever night. Many thanks.

17. Include file and folder IDs in user activity report

    Running a user activity report for a deleted user shows the parent folder names the user was removed from, but no ID so there is no way to determine which folder they were removed from. (i.e. a searching for the parent folder called ACE returns 180 such folders).

    We understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap. We will be exploring improvements and enhancements to Tasks in the next 1-2 years and will take this into consideration when we do.

19. When building a hub, it would be beneficial to be able to add files and folders in which you have less than owner, co-owner or editor access

    Being able to add folders to view and upload files to a hub without higher (owner, co-owner, editor) access would allow much more functionality to the product.

20. Bulk assign metadata attributes to multiple folders/files at one time

    We were a previous heavy user of tags and our users enjoyed the ability to assign tags to multiple files at once in the old UI.

    Because they have tens of thousands of users deployed, they often have the same attribute needed to be assigned to many files.

    While we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.
