New User-Level Field: "User Description" (Free Text)
Other applications (like Slack) have a user-level free text field (similar to a User Description / Information field) where admins or users can enter free text to describe the user.
1 voteThis is not currently planned. We will revisit this with additional use case data and customer requests.

Who invited a user?
Bring back the column under Managed Users that tells you who invited a user. That easy bit of information is no longer there. Now you have to run a report that takes forever and may or may not give you the information.

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
145 votesEnd users can now search the trash from the web. For more information, see the product announcement: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053054514-Search-the-trash-on-the-web

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.

Replace the Last Login on the User Details report with Last Activity
Replace the Last Login on the User Details report with Last Activity. It is very misleading to have Last Login, most people will assume this means if the last login was over a year ago, they aren't active.

Favorites in Sidebar - Custom User-Defined Sort Order
As of April 2018, Favorites now display directly in the Web App sidebar, sorted alphabetically.
This request is for supporting custom user-defined sort order for that list (being able to drag items within the sidebar itself to determine the sort order).

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.

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.

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.

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.

If a user locks the file, it should be only unlockable by that user and an administrator, not other Editors
Other users unlocking defeats the purpose of locking in the first place.
30 votesThanks for the suggestion! This is not currently planned, but we will keep it in mind for future enhancements of the product.

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
8 votesWe have added functionality to overwrite folders in Box CLI v3.13

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".1 vote -
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。44 votes -
Option to prevent Drive from launching on startup by user
We are preparing to deploy Box Drive to our users using the Windows .msi. However we've found that after installation, the Box Drive window opens automatically for every user, every time they log into the computer. For users on a shared system who are not using Box, this means dismissing the window every login.
We'd like an option for Box Drive installation to not have the client launch automatically for all users. Or post-installation, allow the user to tell Box Drive not to open automatically for them. If the Box Drive client needs to run at…8 votes -
Restrict Collaboration for Individual External User
Customer would like to have the ability to block individual external users from collaborating on their enterprise content. The external domain allow list is too broad if only one or two external users need to be blocked from collaborating on content.

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…

Report of incomplete user tasks
Create and automate the reporting of the incomplete tasks that are assigned in Box (e.g. assignee, workflow name, due date, status, etc.)?
Our intent is to start reviewing / reporting on late Box tasks to better manage our workflows

When user share folder/file to group, please be able to use copy and paste.
When user share folder/file to group, please be able to use copy and paste.
When share folder/file to Group, if group name includes "@" and user copy and paste that group name to 'Invite People', it is judged mail address not group name.
So, user cannot invite that group.If user enter group name and select from suggestion, they can invite group normally.

Managed user differentiator other than domain
Different attribute outside of domain to determine if truly a managed user. We have different orgs that share email domains but are truly are different orgs with different budgets and approvals. Our org does not want to pay for other users that are not within our organization.
4 votesThis is not a priority at the moment given our roadmap commitments. We will reconsider with additional demand.
