  1. Get a list of all collaborators for a box folder

    I want to get a CSV file with all collaborators for a box folder. The fields should be the same as on the Collaborators page. This needs to be available for end users - not just for box administrators. I need this so I can copy the internet IDs from one folder and add them as collaborators on a different folder. Doing this single name at a time is not practical.

  2. Export transparent images using Box Canvas

    When exporting Box Canvas as an image, I want to be able to make the background transparent.
    Currently, when exporting Box Canvas as an image, the background appears white. Since there are cases where it's more convenient to have no background color when pasting into another medium, I would like the option to export only the elements drawn on the Box Canvas as an image, with the background set to transparent.
    -in Japanese-
    Box Canvasを画像としてエクスポートする際に、背景を透過できるようにしたい。
    Box Canvasでは画像としてエクスポートする際に、背景は白で表示されます。別の媒体に貼り付ける際、背景色が無い方が使いやすいケースもあるため、Box Canvas上に描画されているもののみ画像化し、背景は透過状態を選択できるようにしてほしい。

  3. Box API for creating a File Request

    For customers that require several Box File Requests to be created frequently and uniquely in business workflows, there needs to be a method to create them programmatically to properly scale the solution.

  4. Ability to map Box Groups to Information Barrier Segments

    The current requirement for uniqueness in Information Barrier segments only allows Box Admins to add individual users to segments, not user groups. This process can increase the long-term maintenance.

    Ideally, customers should be able to use attributes from Active Directory that are then synced to Box Groups. Ultimately, the Box Groups would be used to update Information Barrier segment membership automatically. If the group update breaks the requirement that a user can only belong to one segment, Box could produce an error message.

  5. Custom notifications using Box API

    Using Box API there is no way to create custom user notifications. It might be helpful to send some information to the customer that some documents have been moved, imported, etc. A user can monitor the folder but this would be a valuable extension for the API for platform developers.

    Thanks, this is a great suggestion but not one that is currently on our roadmap. In the mean time, you can consider using Webhooks to get relevant events and make use of a simple transactional email/sms API such as those provided by Twilio/Sendgrid or Amazon SES to send notifications based on those events.

  6. Ability to manually update Box Tools

    If Box Tools fails to update automatically, you may need to install or reinstall the latest version of the installer (after uninstalling Box Tools).

    Depending on the company, installation may require administrator privileges on the PC, and updating may not be easy.

    Therefore, it is very convenient to develop a button that can be updated without installation as a standard function of Box Tools.

  7. Microsoft Teams iOS app does not open the specific Box folder.

    We're having an issue with Microsoft Teams app on iPhone - Box files plug-in within More tab. It is very possible that this Box Files button in Teams is not designed to link to the specific channel Box folder we have chosen, and instead is designed to redirect us to the All Files page "https://account.box.com/folder/0". On Windows PC, Teams app opens the the specific channel Box folder we have chosen.

  8. Ability to make Excel scripts available in "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring"

    Currently, due to OneDrive for Business requirements, scripts are not available when coauthoring is enabled in Box.
     reference information:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/scripts/overview/excel#requirements:~:text=scripts%20from%20scratch.-,Requirements,Internet%20connectivity%20with%20connected%20experiences%20enabled.,-Note

    In business, Excel scripting is a frequently used function.
    "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring" is enabled, and the ability to use Office scripts is desired even when Box is used as storage.

    Box for Microsoft Office の共同編集でExcelのスクリプトを利用可能にする機能>

    現在、OneDrive for Businessの要件があるため、Boxで共同編集が有効になっているとスクリプトが利用できません。
     参考:https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/office/dev/scripts/overview/excel#requirements

    業務上、Excelのスクリプトは頻繁に使用される機能です。
    Box for Microsoft Office の共同編集が有効になっており、Boxをストレージとして使用している場合でもOfficeスクリプトを使用できることが望まれます。

  10. 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.

  12. Email File Request Link from Box

    Add ability to email file request links directly from Box (similar to collaboration invites). This would allow customers to audit who sent out file request link/ when.

  13. Create new folder from Move/Copy Dialogue box

    We regularly need to move and copy content to different locations in Box. It would be very helpful to have a "New Folder" option within the move/copy dialogue Box. This would help mirror desktop functionality (and sync, which currently supports this feature).

    This is a very narrow use case, so it’s not a priority for our roadmap right now.

  14. Admin console insights into Box University completion by users

    It would be awesome to see reporting in the admin console based on users completion of any Box Education courses to give better insight into end user training.

  16. Tables - Allow Merging Cells in Box Note Tables

    A standard function when working with tables (in Excel and other tools) is a basic 'merge cells' feature that allows multiple cells (whether in a row or column) to be merged into one to function more as a grouping of multiple rows/columns. Box Notes don't currently support merging table cells.

    REQUEST: Support merging 2 or more cells in a row/column within a Box Note.

  17. Import data already on Box into DICOM viewer

    The only way to import images into the DICOM viewer right now is to upload directly using the import tool. This is problematic for two reasons: 1. large sets of data are handled better through Drive or Sync than a web interface and 2. data already in Box need to be downloaded and then imported (uploaded) again using the import tool, which is not practical when working with 10s-100s of GB of DICOM data. There should be a mechanism to import data already stored on Box into the DICOM viewer.

    This may be similar to a different issue: https://pulse.box

  18. Support "Box Tools" on ARM, Snapdragon

    Support ARM, Snapdragon processors for "Box Tools" since many manufacturers are building devices using this CPU. The requirements listed in the Box Requirements article here; https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697634-Understanding-System-Requirements-to-Use-Box-Tools-v4
    Say nothing about the actual CPU only the OS, Browser. The Box downloads let you download the MSI installer but when you run it it gives an error..

  19. Supporting Text Format in Box for Outlook

    Currently, Box for Outlook is only available in HTML format, which is the only format supported by Outlook and OWA.
    Some companies make only plain text available.
    In this case, Box for Outlook cannot be used, so please make sure that the text format is also available.

    For companies that only use OWA, Box for Outlook is a great way to share data on Box.
    This is expected to improve work efficiency.

    (日本語)
    現在、Box for OutlookはOutlookおよびOWAでサポートされている形式はHTML形式のみです。
    企業によってはプレーンテキストのみを利用可能としています。
    この場合、Box for Outlookが利用できないため、テキスト形式も利用できるようにしてください。

    OWAのみを利用している企業にとって、Box上のデータを共有する手段の一つであるBox for Outlookは非常に最適です。
    これによって作業効率化が期待できます。

  20. Enhance error messages when storage exceeded to identify which account is over storage

    When a user uploads an item to a folder that would exceed the quota, it says "Account storage limit reached." This is misleading if the folder is owned by another user. Users ask for more quota, but it's a different account that has the problem. Please identify the folder owner of the folder that's over quota in the error message.

    This applies both to Web UI and Box Drive error messages.
