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.

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).23 votes -
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.…

Separate Move / Copy buttons
Please consider improving this within Amsterdam
There are a number of use cases that can be supported by separating the Move / Copy button into unique buttons:
1) Folder or file templates: Users with Viewer access (can download) should be able to COPY a file or folder elsewhere. Currently this is not supported -- the user must download, which loses BoxNotes and Bookmarks.
2) Separating "records" from reference material -- If Retention is set on a file, the user may want to copy a version elsewhere that is not subject to Retention
20 votesInteresting suggestion, but we won’t be focusing on this ask for the time being due to competing priorities.

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.

Secure open link - Domain white list for open shared link
This request is an idea that will become possible after the following requests are realized.
Secure open link① - Require email address verification with one-time password
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/43755942-secure-open-link-require-email-address-verifica【Summary】

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 limitationsOnly 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.

Box Sign: Stop Sign from creating managed (paid) accounts for signers
Problem statement
When someone without a Box account signs a Box Sign request, Box creates an account for them to hold their copy of the signed document and signing log. If their email matches your verified domain and you have auto-enrollment or SSO with auto-provisioning turned on, that account is converted into a paid managed user in your enterprise.Current workarounds:
1. Manually delete the created accounts
2. Turn off auto-provisioning while keeping auto-enrollment and SSO on
3. Turn off auto-enrollment entirely (with auto-provisioning and SSO off)Requested enhancements
Exempt Box Sign account creation from Auto Enrollment.This would be…

Idea: develop more ways to receive 2-step verification code (email address or application on smart phone )
Recently, I did not receive 2-step verification code through SMS to log in my Box account, so I had to request support from Box team to disable 2-step verification in my Box account. I know that without 2-step verification, my Box account is less secure. Please consider the following idea: (i) add another way that we can receive 2-step verification code such as the email address, or (ii) develop the application on smart phone (e.g. iOS, Android phones) that generates 2-step verification code for Box account. Thank you (PS: I just move from BoxSync to BoxDrive, so I decide to…

I would like to have a collaboration role that only allows me to reference shared links.
Alternatives (1) through (3) could not be adopted for a reason.(1) Why not just use the Previewer?
I want to collaborate from the top of the folder tree to prevent confusion about where I collaborated.
For this purpose, I want a collaboration role that can only refer to shared links that cannot refer to other files.(2) Why don't we just create a shared link that is open to everyone and add a password?

Box Drive Accidental Deletion
Since the introduction of Box Drive end users that haven't read the documentation and skip through the walkthrough aren't used to seeing all of the files and folders.
The user without realizing, then believes that all of these files and folders either aren't needed or are taking up physical space on their hard drive. The user then either randomly deletes select files and folder or just deletes everything within Box Drive. A solution is needed to either further alert or prevent this. One other possible solution is to create a process to fully restore all of the deletions and collaborations.

Box Automate: Local time zone support for date variables
We use Box Automate to move files into daily folders.
Because date/time variables are evaluated in UTC, workflows that run around local midnight (for example in JST) sometimes create folders with the previous day’s date.
We would appreciate it if you could add the following configuration options for the date/time variables used in folder and file names:(1) Ability to specify a time zone (e.g., Asia/Tokyo)
(2) Ability to perform date/time arithmetic (e.g., adding +9 hours to UTC)
＜Box Automate：日付変数のローカルタイムゾーン対応の要望＞
Box Automate でワークフロー実行日ごとにフォルダを作成・振り分けています。
現在は日付／時刻変数が UTC 基準で評価されるため、JST など UTC 以外の地域では深夜帯の実行時に前日の日付フォルダが作成されてしまいます。
フォルダ名・ファイル名用の日付／時刻変数について、以下を設定できる機能をご検討いただけますと幸いです。
(1) タイムゾーンの指定機能（例：Asia/Tokyo）
(2) 日時演算機能（例：UTC に +9 時間）11 votes -
