Ability to specify wildcard folder in folder path for folder event trigger
Here's the scenario. Box folder partitioning is recommended for scalability when the number of items (files or folders) within a parent (root) folder will exceed 15000. The Salesforce default integration creates a folder for each account under a 'Accounts ' Parent folder and typically number of customers will exceed 15000 for large organizations. With the Box Partitioning flow (available in the Managed package for SF), folder partitions can be based on using starting letter of the account (e.g. partition folder will be named AFolder). OR customized to have folders based on Year/Month of creation e.g. PartitionYYYYMM under…

Display error when entering unsupported characters when renaming folders and files
When creating a new folder or file, if you include characters not supported by Box (other than Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane characters), receive an error.
However, when renaming, I can name files and folders using characters other than BMP.
(After renaming a folder or file, the character will automatically change to "_" after a while.)Please allow the same error to be displayed when an unsupported character is entered when renaming a folder or file,as when a new character is created.

しかし、名称変更時にはBMP以外の文字を使用したファイル名・フォルダ名を付けることができます。
(変更後しばらくすると自動的に「_」変わります。)サポートされていない文字を入力したときに、新規作成と同じようにエラーを表示できるようにしてください。

Allow users to share built workflows
Allow workflow builders to share their workflows with each other. Currently workflows need to be rebuilt by each user whereas it would save a lot of time to be able to share these workflows that have already been built.

Expose Favorites in Box Drive
Favorites are becoming more and more popular now that they're better exposed (in the left rail) in the new Web App.
As such, users expect to access their Favorites list regardless of which endpoint they're using - webapp (supported), mobile (supported), or desktop (not supported via Sync or Box for Desktop).
REQUEST: Add a 'Favorites' view to Box for Desktop content (somehow) that allows the user to view only their Favorites (files + folders) just like they do in the webapp.

Folder Owner to have the ability to place their own folders or files on legal hold
It would be really beneficial for the Folder Owner to have the ability to place their own folders or files on legal hold (without making them an admin)
0 votesMost legal holds happen at the admin/legal team level, but I understand the request and will reconsider with additional customer use cases.

Metadata driven Automations
Customer wants the ability to push an approved item into multiple folders at once, which would be done using Box automations with metadata, where specific metadata can be added to push items into specific folders.
For example adding metadata ?a?, ?b? and ?c? to a document will move the file to folders ?a?, ?b? and ?c?.

Access Stats: Include IP information from report preview in report export
While previewing the Access Stats, IP information is shared. When we export the report, it doesn’t give that information anymore. We would like for the IP information from the Access Stats preview to be included in the exported report.

Introduce a combination of version labels and version dependent permissions.
Compared to legacy ECM systems, versioning in box is limited to data states over time. There is no notion of a document lifecycle attached to a certain version (WIP, draft, published).
The mandatory check in/out of legacy ECM makes the system very user unfriendly. However, it would be nice if we could somehow label certain versions. The list of labels could either be fixed, or user definable.
If we combine this feature with a new permission: "view documents with status published", we could now have one directory where people work on their documents, but external people would only see the…

"search filter" "folder location" unselecting parent still requires to unselect all subfolders
Asume, when running a search and selecting File Type "Folders" and an "owner", the search results delivers thousands of folders.
Now I want to use the filter option to exclude a parent folder which I know has several hundred subfolders, but unselecting the parent folder does require me to sunselect all the subfolders inside of the parent folder one by one...
This is not practical and unselecting a parent folder should also exclude all subfolders from that parent.
Actually I had never seen it the way it is implemented in Box...4 votes -
Closed folder structure
"My Sign Requests", "My Canvases" and "My Signed Documents" folders are created as private folders technically by Box, without any admin intervention. When using a closed folder structure, these folders can still be used by users to build their own folder structures, as they become the owner of this folder. This counteracts the idea of a closed folder system and represents a massive security gap. Users can then build folder structures and content in our box instance without any control by the admin and share them with external users.
These technically generated folders must therefore be restricted accordingly, or admins…

Add a "request to share with me" button to Box folders
Lets say that a folder has Mary as the owner and Bob as the co-owner permissions wise. I would like a button that any other Box user can click on (for example a 'request permission' button) which when clicked, Mary and Bob will receive an email informing them that a user has requested viewer/editor rights for the folder (the user can select what permissions they are asking for). Mary or Bob can easily click an approve or a decline button from the email to grant or deny the access.

Box Drive search for specific folder
Currently there is not way to search for a folder name offline. All you can search for is a file name. This can be problematic if you have multiple files with the same name, but just in different locations. Suggest being able to search for file name and then open file.

Box for Microsoft Office co-authoring permissions per folder
I propose the ability to change the setting for each folder regarding whether or not Box co-authorship is enabled.
With the current Box for office co-authoring feature, all folders have the coauthoring feature turned on.
I would like to have a switch so that some folders are on and some are off.Boxの共著の可否について、フォルダ毎に設定を変更する機能を提案します。
現在のBox for officeの共著機能では、全てのフォルダが共著機能がオンになってしまいます。
あるフォルダはオン、あるフォルダはオフというように、スイッチをつけてほしい。6 votes -
Allow AppUser in developer sandbox to use API to create metadata instances in folders in production.
Metadata is set up in folders in our production via API by AppUser in the developer sandbox.
However, metadata templates belong to the production, and production-ready applications are not supported.
Therefore, we can set item values for the configured metadata instances, but we cannot create metadata instances.2 votes
