  1. Content manager and folder picker for user activity report

    Ability for group admin/Business admin to use Contents Manager (and folder picker for user activity report).
    Currently, the group admin or admin of Business license cannot choose folder from picker on user activity report because they don't have the permission to view users' contents (or Contents Manager).

  2. Please implement the search filter of "User who deleted" in the Trash.

    Please implement the search filter of "User who deleted" in the Trash.
    (This is not same as the filter of "Items I owned" or "Items I deleted".)
    Currently we can use owner filtering when searching for content in the Trash.
    For further convenience, we need the feature to use filtering even for users who have deleted content.

  3. More granular setting options for users set to "Inactive" in the Admin Console

    We would like two sub options for accounts set to "Inactive" status in the Edit User Profile details (in addition to the existing Inactive setting behavior):

    Inactive sub-option 1: Enable a warning for all existing shares and collaborations that the Inactive user owns. If another user is accessing a folder owned by the Inactive user, they should be informed that the content could be deleted with the deletion of the account, and that a copy should be taken quickly.

    Inactive sub-option 2: Enable a warning AND make content read-only for all existing shares and collaborations that the Inactive user

    This is a good use case, but other user statuses might partially solve some of these needs. Let us know in the comments if it does not.

  4. Ability to select users outside the tenant in the user filter of the user activity report.

    Currently, when retrieving activities of non-tenant users, it is necessary to output all without filtering and then select the target data in Grep.
    Our tenants have a large number of users, and if all the data were to be output, it would be a huge amount of data, and the above process would take a lot of time.
    I think that selecting users outside of tenants will reduce our work time and improve convenience, so I would really like to see this happen.

    現在は、テナント外ユーザーのアクティビティを取得する場合は、フィルタをかけずにすべてを出力してからGrepで対象データを選定する必要があります。
    我々のテナントはユーザー数が多く、すべてのデータを対象として出力すると膨大なデータになり上記作業に多くの時間がかかります。
    テナント外のユーザーを選択することで、こちらの作業時間が短縮し利便性の向上に繋がると思うので是非実現してほしい。

  6. Capture Device information in the User Activity Report

    We had a situation that ex-employee use Box Sync app using his personal laptop but Admin has no way to figure out whether he accessed them from corporate laptop or his personal laptop. The User Activity Report only shows ip address. It would be good to capture device name or OS version so Admin can double check what device this user is using when accessing synced files.

  7. Control managed user external collaboration to webmail accounts

    Setting that allows admin of corporate instance to control/limit managed users being collaborated into personal Box webmail accounts. This would be a setting to control/limit an outside Box webmail user collaborating a corporate managed user into its personal account.

  8. Users want to add a function that allows them to select the association from the existing Box folder when they create a new folder in SFDC

    This is a request for improvement about Box for salesforce. The article below describes the "Creating Record-Specific Folders" feature, but instead of creating a new folder for salesforce records, users want to associate the folder that Box has already created with the salesfore record. Users want to add a function that allows them to select the association from the existing Box folder when they create a new folder in salesforce.

  9. User can perform multi-doc AI queries from the Box Apps view

    Currently a user can only select files in a folder to run a multi-doc query. They should also be able to select files in a Box Apps view to perform multi-doc AI queries.

    Hi, thanks for voting for this topic! This feature became generally available at the end of October. Please see here for more information: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/43182352974611-Query-single-or-multiple-documents-in-a-Box-Apps-view-using-Box-AI

  10. 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.

  11. 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).

  12. Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity

    When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
    However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
    We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.

  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. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Display deleted user name instead of Prior Collaborator name on the Activity Details

    Display the name of a previous commenter, approver or collaborator, even if the user has left the organisation. At the moment it just says 'a prior collaborator' and this is not helpful when retrospectively tracking why key business decisions were made.

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. We want BoxRelay to work with the privileges of the user who actually started the workflow, not the user who created the workflow.

    In the current specification, workflows in BoxRelay operate under the authority of the user who created the flow, not the user who executed the flow.
    This causes confusion because there is a discrepancy with the actual operation performed. We would like to improve this so that Relay can correctly confirm who started the flow.

    【日本語】
    BoxRelayについて、ワークフローを作成したユーザーではなく、実際にフローを開始したユーザーの権限で動作させたい

    現在の仕様では、BoxRelayのワークフローは、フローを実行したユーザー本人ではなく、フローを作成したユーザーの権限で動作するようになっています。
    これでは実際に行われた操作と齟齬があり混乱を招くため、フローを開始した人が誰なのか、Relay側で正しく確認できるよう改善を希望します。

    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
