  1. Separate color or icon for user-owned folder

    When browsing user content in the admin console, I often need to determine which folders are owned by the user whose content I'm viewing. If there were a separate color or icon for folders that the current user owns, I wouldn't have to open every collaborated folder to check ownership.

    This could also help users delineate which folders they own and which are owned by others. It would be a big help with communicating best practices around folder ownership.

  3. Restrict content creation at the user or group level

    Request: Root content creation to be set at user or group level instead of the tenant so that the majority wouldn't have to sacrifice a open folder structure for a small subset of users with constraints. Ultimately looking for a hybrid solution.

  4. Provide notification when auto-provisioning of user accounts fails because a Box account already exists.

    We use auto-provisioning to create Box accounts in our Box managed enterprise environment. When a user is added to a specific group in Azure AD, this kicks off something that creates the account in our Box environment. However, it is possible that users have an existing lite Box account from former roles. When this happens the auto provisioning fails without warning due to a duplicate account. We would like to be notified when this happens. We can see the error in the Azure logs but those are not easy to use for alerting due to sheer size and think…

  5. Display first two letter when user name set in Japanese in user icon

    Display first two letter when user name set in Japanese. Current behavior: first Japanese letter display twice. For example, user name in Japanese is 高橋　一郎。User icon will be 高高. This does not mean anything to Japanese user. Rather, customer expect to display 高橋 in user icon.

  6. Control External Collaboration at User Level (not folder level)

    Currently, users can have a restriction placed on them that folders owned by that user cannot be collaborated outside of the organization. However, if that user is invited into a folder that allows for external collaboration, that user can invite external collaborators.

    We want flexibility to control this at a user by user basis. For example, User A should not be able to invite external collaborators, regardless of folder that they're invited into. However, User B should have the ability to do so (but only within folders that User B owns or within another folder that is set to…

    Thank you for this request! I’d like to see additional customers with use cases for user-level collaboration restrictions.

    Collaboration is a setting that is tied to content rather than users, and I’m not sure that we have evidence yet to make changes to that model.

  7. User Trash -- Ability to search within Trash from the Web for end users

    Since Box has a public-facing Search API that allows searching within the Trash, the Web App should also make use of this functionality and allow users to search in Trash from the Web. API documentation here: https://docs.box.com/reference#searching-for-content

  8. Enterprise setting for requiring a user to login prior to signature

    Currently on a per document basis require a user to authenticate into Box before completing a Box Sign request. Similar to file request we would like to see this as an enterprise default option under admin > enterprise settings > box sign

  9. Allow the "User Activity" report to be run for a folder and all sub-folders & content within that folder

    Today, the admin may select to run the "User Activity" report for a particular folder. When run for a particular folder, the report will only filter on the contents of the selected folder, and not the contents of subfolders within. Request that the report includes the folder and all sub-folders & contents within that folder, removing the need to run the report at the enterprise level and filtering to a particular folder path from there.

  11. New User-Level Field: "User Description" (Free Text)

    This is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

  13. Keep Cost Center Field populated when user invited as a Managed user

    If creating an account and you have to send the user an Invite to come over as a managed user, the Cost Center field (If filled out) will not stay after the user accepts the invite. Forcing you to have to go back and re-add info you may have already included.

    I would request that if the Cost Center field is populated on a user creation, that it remain after an invited user accepts their invite to stop double work.

  14. Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads

    Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads to a 'file request' link. Both the bearer token and folder id are not known and are not available within the URL.

    a possible solution would be to implement an 'OPTIONS' call to the URL to return a throw-away bearer token and the folder id so that the existing file upload API calls can be used.

  15. External User Activity

    Can we get a report of external users and their activity (ie, how many times they've logged in, more importantly, the last time they logged in, etc)? We can do this for internal users but not external users.

  16. Allow user activity report to be filtered by affected user

    We are unable to run the user activity report due the scale of their enterprise (15,000+ users).

    Please run this report (particularly to determine collaboration permission changes) for a given affected users.

    This would allow us to get the information of interest to them rather than a enterprise wide report that is almost unmanageable to filter after being run.

  17. Notify user on corrupt file upload

    We should be able to notify a user when the file he just uploaded is detected by shield as corrupted.
    The notification could be sent by mail or by notification on the website, depending on the configuration given by the user.

    This feature is relly important on a legal base, because each user should have the ability to correct his own mistake.

  18. Provide overwrite switch in CLI to account for existing folder in download location

    Currently BOX CLI download doesn't have overwrite action. If a folder already exists in the location where the new folder is being downloaded, the CLI errors out.

    There should be a over-write switch to the box CLI folder download. It should be something like:

    box folders:download Folder_ID --destination=<location> --over-write=Yes

  19. Managed user

    We need the ability to purge user accounts from the "managed users" without deleting them, or "waiting room" of the "managed users".
    After inviting users with email addresses from the same domain to collaborate, they are automatically added to the "managed users" list when user accounts are created. If we do not want them to be the "managed users", we must delete their user accounts, as there is no action to purge them from the "managed users".

  20. Want to be able to specify the number of times each user uses BoxAI

    Want to be able to specify the number of times each user uses BoxAI

    Box AI can currently limit the number of users who use it, but it is not possible to limit the number of times it can be used.
    This is very inconvenient. I would like to be able to specify users who can only use Box AI up to 20 times, or specify users who can use Box AI more than 20 times.

    BoxAIのユーザーごとの利用回数を指定できるようにしたい

    Box AIは、現状利用するユーザーを制限することはできますが、利用回数を制限することが出来ません。
    これは非常に不便です。20回までしかBox AIを利用出来ないユーザーを指定、または20回以上利用出来るユーザーを指定出来るようにしたいです。
