  1. Change Sender name to "Box" or "Box Updates" instead of the user's name

    Collaboration Invite notification emails currently pull the inviting user’s Display Name from the Sender line and putting it in the From line. This means that while the email is coming from noreply@box.com, it still has the user’s name like the email has come from them directly.

    This can cause conflicts with mail servers that flag emails based on Display Name and email origin. It would be preferable to simple have all notification emails from Box leave Box or Box Updates in the Display Name field, rather than spoofing the acting user’s name.

  2. Ability to have users enter their name and email address when downloading from a shared link without being logged in.

    In the case of a public shared link, there is no way to verify the user who manipulated the file if it was manipulated while the user was not logged in.
    However, we would like to verify by whom the shared file was downloaded.
    Since the file sharing partners are unspecified, we would like to share files via a shared link rather than through collaboration.
    Request the ability to track the operating user by having them enter their name and email address when downloading from a shared link in an un-logged-in state.

    <共有リンクから未ログイン状態でダウンロードする際に名前やメールアドレスを入力できる機能>
    「リンクを知っている全員」に設定した共有リンクの場合、未ログイン状態で操作された場合はファイルを操作したユーザーを確認する手段がありません。
    しかし、共有したファイルが誰によってダウンロードされているか確認したいと考えています。
    ファイルの共有相手は不特定多数のため、コラボレーションではなく共有リンクでファイルを共有したいと考えています。
    共有リンクから未ログイン状態でダウンロードする際には名前やメールアドレスを入力させて、操作ユーザーを追える機能をリクエストします。

  3. Stop or modify instant suspension of new user email addresses on account setup, or give admins access to your blocklist

    When a new user account is set up, a confirmation email is automatically sent to the login address for the account. Currently, if this message is bounced, the user's email address is immediately placed on your block list.

    So - I create a new staff email account in 365, then use that email address to set up a Box account. Box immediately sends a confirmation email message - but 365 is having a slow day and the gateway hasn't yet caught up with accepting messages for that address. The confirmation message is bounced, and the user's email address…

  4. Shared Links Report

    It would be nice to have options rather than just export as is. Similar to User Activity, the ability to at a minimum choose a start and end date would be extremely helpful. Currently, our report is not working. Having worked with Box support, they believe it is due to the size of the export. If this is the case, being able to limit the report timeframe, will help with the size. Thank you.

  5. Metadata table(row: files, column: metadata keys)

    We are looking for a table type of view of files(row) and metadata keys(column), that allows us to be able to configure their own views of data in Box.

    It allows us to...
    - configure the view with applying metadata templates(can select the keys to show)
    - filter and sort the view
    - update metadata directly from this view
    - export the view of data to a csv file

    This sort of solution helps users to reduce the time spent for searching the content and updating the metadata values(and it would be competitive with SharePoint library view).

    A box-native metadata table is not currently on the roadmap, but we have launched our metadata query toolkit alongside a content-explorer element that can emulate the same experience.

  6. No "print" option like in Box Notes

    There's no way to export or print the Canvas. This ability exists in Miro, so if Canvas were to offer this, we could likely cut out our Miro licenses. This ability exists today in Box Notes, so it would make sense for it to be available in Canvas as well.

  7. Make login screen text easier to edit

    In the admin console, there's a "Login Page" section, where it's possible to set a message that appears for all users on the Box login page. Currently, editing/formatting that message requires both access to the admin console, a knowledge of HTML, and an understanding of which HTML tags are and are not valid in that message.

    As the information posted as a part of that message is often something that comes from communications staff, not technical staff, those barriers to editing it are significant. It would be nice if there was both a way to delegate the editing of…

  8. Ability to create folders on the fly when moving/copying content

    Users would like to be able to create a folder when moving/copying content, as opposed to only being able to move/copy content to pre-existing folders. It would save time and energy to be able to do that on the fly as opposed to creating the folder ahead of time.

  9. Ability to run relay workflows as a group

    Relay workflows and approval tasks are started and sent as the user that created the relay. Ideally you want to get the box approval task that is sent to the users to approve to look like it is coming from the team that is requesting the approval.

    Example: Invoice approval
    When an invoice approval relay starts, pick dept. from metadata and start an approval process to the appropriate user as defined in the workflow. The user gets an email that says 'boxadmin' (in out case the user that created the relay) has sent you an approval task.

    It would…

  10. Request for resolving the problem of retrieving group memberships

    I wish the following problem will be fixed :
    We are able to see the issue when retrieving group membership datas if the group have multiple users having the same name and get membership with multiple offset.
    For example, there are two users having the same name and both of users is a member of the group. If we request all of membership for the group with multiple offset, the endpoint of group may only include one of both, not include another user in the response.

    I have submitted this incident to Box support ticket(#2387523), and received…

  13. PDF & PNG Export for Canvas

    When finalizing a session using visual collaboration, it's often required to export the end product to be able to share with non-Box users, and possibly to upload as attachment to other applications. A PDF (possibly PNG) export feature would be great additions.

  15. Store all generated Box Reports into a Single Shared Folder for the Enterprise

    Need a common folder in the enterprise to store reports generated by box by admins and various co-admins. This will reduce the load on the box platform as well as it will significantly reduce duplicate runs. One such way to do this would be Instead of creating new "Box Reports" folder under every user who runs the report enhance the report generation feature to module to look for a folder name "Box Reports" and if exists then upload the reports there. Alternatively make a it an enterprise setting where admin can pre-designate a folder where all generated reports will be…

  16. Ability to run custom in-app messaging banners from the Admin Console

    Admins would like to create custom in-app messaging banners to display to their users when they are logged into Box.

    In-App Messaging banners could be used to promote training, drive awareness and adoption, inform users of new features or internal policies, etc.

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  18. No Logs for prevent Managed User username change

    The new feature allowing administrators to Prevent managed users from altering their Profile Name information does not generate any log entries when it is activated. Additionally, changes to this setting are not recorded, like when someone deactivates it.
    Please request that any modifications made through the Admin Console be included in the security logs. This must be forgotten in the development plan.

  20. Hide annoying Move Items security warning popup message

    Ability to suppress user popup security notification that warns about moving file will make content available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.


    Move Items

    This content will be available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.

    You have chosen to move the selected item to the folder 'folder-name'. This folder has collaborators outside of your company and has a public shared link enabled. Do you want to continue?
