1. Create reports for Shield actions/tracking

   Create reporting for Shield activities, including the following:
   1) Classifications applied by their name (i.e. 'externalpublic used on 157 folders/files'). This would help determine popular and unpopular classifications.
   2) User who applied the classification label and each time they applied one (i.e. Person A applied shield classification labels on 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc). Helps see who is using the labels and how frequently.
   3) User and which label they applied (i.e. Person B applied the externalpublic label on 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, etc.). Helps see a combo of the above two bullets.
   4) Number of times a shield classification label prevented file/folder sharing (i.e. internal_only label prevented 300 files/folders from being shared externally). Doesn't have to be a deep dive into which folders, just some gauge of how effective the labels are at stopping things from being shared incorrectly.

2. 2-factor authentication enforceability

   The 2-factor authentication that Box.com currently offers for Enterprise accounts is only applicable for unrecognized logins. Would it be possible for Box.com to offer 2-factor authentication for every login in addition to the current unrecognized logins as an improvement/enhancement in the future release. This would help choose which feature customers want. If a customer wants to strictly enforce 2-step authentication with every login, it would help to have that option available as with the current option, it is not possible to do so except for unrecognized logins.

3. Ability to get list of annotations through an API

   I would like to use API to get a list of annotations for a file.

   I can use the API to get comments on a file, but not the annotations.

   Could you please implement such an API?

   For example, something like this.

   (e.g.) [GET] https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/annotations/

4. Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool

   Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool

   In Box Drive v2.21, it is possible to enable the ability to automatically lock/unlock files when they are opened in Box Drive by modifying the registry.
   However, it is difficult for end users to modify the registry, so we would like to see Box Drive include the feature to automatically lock/unlock files, or provide a configuration tool (such as a batch file for registry modification) to modify the registry.

5. Request for improvement of mail upload function

   I found a problem with the current mail upload function, so I would like Box to improve it.

   [Request (1): Adding Management Console and Folder Settings]
   Users with Editor permission can change the settings of the folder's mail upload function.
   However, I would like to add the ability to restrict this permission to owners and co-owners to the administrative console and the settings for each folder.

   [Request (2) Timing for saving the settings of the mail upload function]
   If you click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" about the mail upload function of the folder, the URL for the mail upload will be issued immediately and the setting will be saved, but if you make an operation by mistake, you cannot return to the original URL, so I would like you to improve it as follows.

   Working with the Mail Upload Feature in Current Folder Settings
   ① Click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" in the folder setting.
   ② A URL is issued for mail upload.
   ③ It is applied immediately without pressing "Save Changes" in the upper right of the screen.

   Working with the Mail Upload Feature in Improved Folder Settings
   ① Click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" in the folder setting.
   ② A URL is issued for mail upload.
   ③ This setting is not applied immediately and is saved when you click "Save Changes" in the upper right corner of the screen. A user who performs an operation by mistake can prevent the setting from being changed by not saving the setting change of the folder.

   [Request (3) Checking the change history of the mail upload function]
   I would like you to provide me with a way to check the log (who made what changes and when) when users change their mail upload settings for a specific folder. I can't find out who changed my mail upload settings at this time.

   [Request (4) Behavior when sending mail to a non-existent mail upload URL]
   If the user accidentally changes the URL for the mail upload, the previous URL is invalidated. If you send the mail upload function using the previous URL, the following mail will be sent from Box.

   Subject:
   Unable to process mail request

   Articles:
   Your attempt to email file (s) into 'a folder' was not successful.

   From this email, the user knows that the upload failed but does not know to which folder the upload failed. By including the information about the folder in this mail, the user can know which folder the mail upload failed, so please add that information.

   [Background to the Request for Improvement]
   ・Users upload faxes that arrive at the multifunction device as e-mail attachments to the fax folder of Box using the mail upload function.
   ・Since each user has to move or delete the uploaded files, the user who collaborated with Box's fax folder has been granted the rights of an editor.
   ・Each user is optionally configured to receive an email notification when a file is uploaded to the Box fax folder.

   By performing the above setting, the paper ejection of the fax is eliminated, and the PDF is directly ejected into the Box and the reception notification is received. Fax reception can be confirmed even on different floors and when teleworking, so printing costs are not incurred, loss is prevented, and there is no need to scan later.

   However, a user with Editor rights accidentally clicked "Allow uploads to this folder via email" in the folder settings and reissued the URL for the mail upload.

   As a result, files uploaded to the previous URL were lost. In addition, since it was not possible to check which folder and when the setting was changed in the report, etc., it took a lot of effort to identify the folder. This is how the request for improvement came about. We are currently taking measures by increasing backup methods.

   Please consider it in order to make it simple and safe.

6. Enhanced Locking Experience on Box Drive for Mac

   With Enhanced Locking on Box Drive now launched for Windows (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063653693-Box-Drive-v2-21-Release-Notes), it'll be great to have the same experience, i.e. opening a file will prompt the user to lock the file and auto-unlock the file when closing the file, for Mac users.

   This way all users, no matter what OS they use, can have the same Enhanced Locking experience when working with files via Box Drive.

8. Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.

   Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.

   https://support.office.com/en-us/article/about-the-shared-workbook-feature-49b833c0-873b-48d8-8bf2-c1c59a628534

   Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.

   While we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

9. Upgrade from reCAPTCHA v2 to reCAPTCHA v3

   The pictures shown in reCAPTCHA v2 like traffic lights and crosswalks are vague, leading many users to fail to log in.
   As a result they would like Box to use reCAPTCHA v3 instead.

11. Manage collections folder through sub-collections

    I have too many Box folders shared with me and they all show up under "All Files". Collections is a good way to organize but I need to have a hierarchy/folder structure for Collections. Currently this can only be achieved through faking a folder structure through naming.

    example
    Project1
    Project1-subproject1
    Project1-subproject 2

    Being able to create sub collections would solve this.
    
    Currently my Box account is a huge mess of shared folders.

    Cheers,
    Matt

12. Improve annotations for Box Previewer UI element

    One of the main feature of our proof-of-concept utilizes Box’s concept of collaborations. We want to demonstrate beyond the capability of the basic file/folder sharing by utilizing the Box Previewer UI element and enabling the annotation feature. The annotation is such a great feature to enhance business and client relationship in the digital space. We implemented this feature however we found there are some challenges and we are hoping Box can help us find a solution to create a better experience.

    1. We were able to activate the annotation but only within app users. Both our employee entities and customer entities are able to share and view these annotation. When it requires a non-app user to see these annotation (e.g. customer sharing an annotation with a managed-user created from Box.com) those annotation are not viewable by managed users and they cannot make further annotation to the same document. We are really hoping that the annotation feature in the previewer will come out of beta and be implemented in the public Box.com domain for all to use. This would complete the full user experience that we are hoping for.

    2. The highlighter, pen and comment bubble is a great start in annotation tools, however, we think that these tools can evolve a bit more with some more choices. Having control on color, pen style and perhaps dropping larger “sticky” notes to help readers to see these annotation more vividly and the ability to have finer control on how users annotate would enhance the experience to digitally markup a document with ease. You can also see with only one choice in color, it conflicts with the stardard black colored text of the document.

13. Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)

    [Background and Problem]
    A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.

    Below are our feature improvement requests.

    1. Multi-line Input Support
       We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.

    2. Increased Character Limit (Optional)
       We also have a comment from the customer regarding the character limit for the metadata field in Forms:
       "While 400 characters for Japanese is sufficient for basic needs, it would be even better if it were expanded to around 1,000 characters to allow for more detailed information and broaden its use."

    ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
    【背景と課題】
    現在、Microsoft ListsでFAQ管理を行っている顧客がBoxへの移行を検討しています。 この際、FAQの回答をメタデータに格納する計画ですが、Box Formsのメタデータ入力欄が単一行であるため、「これでは長文の回答が入力できず、実用的ではない」というフィードバックを受けました。

    以下、機能改善のリクエストです。

    1. 入力フィールドの複数行化
       メタデータ用のテキスト入力フィールドの高さを調整できる、または「ロングテキスト」フィールドと同じ形式をメタデータフィールドでも選択できるようにしてほしい。

    2. 入力文字数の拡張　※オプショナル
       Formsのメタデータフィールドに入力できる文字数に関しても、顧客からコメントをいただいております。
       「日本語で400文字あれば最低限の用途では問題ないが、より詳細な情報を記述できるよう、1000文字程度まで拡張されると活用の幅が広がり、さらに良い」

14. Export Control (ITAR/EAR) support by Box Shield (Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications & Applying a classification label to

    In the case of having global offices/teams, contents related to Export control are dispersed globally. However, the contents need to be in compliance for Export control.
    The following two enhancements work well for supporting ITAR/EAR with dispersed contents in one Box entity:
    1. Increase the maximum number of Shield Classifications - There is a limitation Classification (it's 25) now. To create combination label via country-base for ITAR/EAR, it requires a larger number of classifications.
    2. Applying a classification label to a specific group - this ability is required to support large number of Classification (above enhancement).

15. User Activity Report to log all User Events that happened in external outbound folder (grey folder)

    Currently, User Events (such as file upload, download and delete by Managed Users) that happened in external outbound folder (grey folder) are logged and can be obtained via Box API. And these user activities within grey folder (by Managed Users) shall be logged in User Activity Report.

    These User Events may be required to be kept for few years due to organization's security policy. But currently, User Events are only stored between 2 weeks and 2 month, and user ID needs to be specified when ever it needs to be obtained via API.

16. Metadata triggers without folder specification

    --I want Box Relay to be able to kick workstreams off in sub-folders that don't exist yet. We have a general "Accounts" folder, and I want my metadata tag triggers to affect sub folders in that parent folder. However, the metadata trigger requires me to specify which specific folder to trigger the Relay within. I suggest one of two things:
    1. Remove the need for folder specification. If I have a metadata trigger, do I really need to specify the folder in which the content lives? Relay should scan for that metadata tag, wherever it occurs.
    2. Allow for Relay to scan in parent and sub-folders. While the specific account folders do not exist yet, I still do have the "Accounts" parent folder--I should be able to use this folder location in the metadata trigger so that Relay will scan that folder AND any sub-folder within.

    Either of these enhancements would greatly improve our account certification process. We regularly add new accounts, and I don't want to have to create new Relays every time we add one.

    Thanks for your feedback. We’re exploring introducing new cascading triggers or system-wide workflows which would address this issue.

17. Add a Webhooks v2 event trigger for restoring a file version

    If a file version is restored (via the webapp or API), there is no associated event trigger that captures this action. If an admin is monitoring a file for changes, no webhook is triggered for this action.

    This is not currently planned. We will consider it with additional use cases and customer demand.

18. Start a Relay workflow manually (Manual Start)

    In the Relay Classic system I could start a workflow manually by opening Relay Classic, choosing my template and then starting the workflow. Now, workflows must be triggered by a folder or file action. I don't want this as we have Financial Advisors in the firm utilizing Box that are segregated from each other (each FA can't have access to the other FA's client files...). They'll all need to start the same workflow, but if I have one central folder that is the trigger folder for the workflow, they can easily access each other's client files that are dropped there. I don't want to have to create a folder for each specific FA that triggers a specific workflow assigned to each FA. That's redundant and too much room for errors to occur.
    Please add the Manual Start option to start a workflow.
    thanks,
    Adam Atkinson

19. Set values for "external_app_user_id" of Managed Users

    We are developing a tool to extract user data from AD, Azure and other IDMs and provision them to Box via API.
    We want to use the user IDs on the IDM as a user external key for Box so that we can track the associated Box account when the email address changes on the IDM side.
    However, the current attribute "externalappuser_id" of Box users has the following limitations

    Only the App User can be set as the value.

    Only some privileged users, such as service accounts for JWT-authenticated applications, can access this item.

    For improved convenience, please remove the following restrictions

    Please make it possible to set values for managed users as well.

    API requests from OAuth 2.0 authorization apps should also be able to be processed.

20. 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.
