Direct transfer tool on macOS from connected NAS to Box online, bypassing the local drive cache
Our scenario is a NAS with 80TB worth of data on it. Mac-only environment.
I know about the standalone transfer tool available on Windows, but this is no option for our macOS environment.
Box Shuttle (cloud) is not an option to get this data onto Box, either as it can't connect to our NAS direclty (and it being in offline network segment).
Uploading in 1 go from the web portal fails miserably.
Drag'n'drop from NAS to connected Box Drive client fills up disk space beyond capacity.
Copying files from my NAS to Box Drive requires a tedious, manual process due to limited internal storage (1TB). I have to copy files in chunks, wait for each upload to complete (without any real overview or confirmation of progress), log out of Box Drive to clear the cache (no other reliable way implemented), log back in, and then repeat the process, carefully tracking my progress. This is extremely inefficient and quickly gets old.
A direct upload tool for macOS, bypassing local Box Drive cache, with full and uptodate status reporting would save my day.

I want to specify 1000 as the fixed value displayed in "File version limit"
The preview of the file version history will show 1000 new records, but after 1000 records, you need to use the API. However, in the "File version limit" section, I can't specify 1000. Please improve it so that we can specify 1000 in the "file version limit".
【In Japanese】
＜タイトル＞
「ファイルバージョン制限」に表示される固定値として1000を指定可能にしてほしい
＜本文＞
ファイルバージョン履歴のプレビューは新しい1000件が表示されますが、1000件以降はAPIを利用する必要があります。
しかし「ファイルバージョンの制限」で、1000を指定することができません。
「ファイルバージョンの制限」で1000を指定できるようにしていただきたいです。1 vote -
Workflows with external users
(Japanese follows)
When an external user is invited to a folder, you want to execute a workflow that specifies an external user.Currently, the notification action allows you to create a workflow that specifies an external user.
Since it is not possible to create a workflow that specifies an external user in the "folder action" > "Add collaborator" etc., I would like to see the function improved so that external users can be specified in "Add Collaborator" and other actions.フォルダに外部ユーザが招待されている状況で、外部ユーザを指定したワークフローを実行したい
現状、通知アクションでは外部ユーザを指定したワークフローが作成可能。
フォルダアクション＞「コラボレータの追加」などでは、外部ユーザを指定したワークフローが作成できない為、「コラボレータの追加」とそれ以外のアクションでも外部ユーザが指定できるよう機能改善してほしい。4 votes -

.docx images are messed up in Box when edited using word online
Whenever I upload a .docx file, I try to edit it. I click the "open" dropdown. I open the .docx file in Word Online. When I add images to Word Online, my document looks fine. However, when I save and come back to Box, my document has images all over the place, in crazy places. I don't think that Box picks up the image formats from Word. Also, every time I make a change in Word it changes the version in Box. I got 22 new versions in just a few minutes, which is not what I wanted.

Merge accounts
If there are two different accounts with two different emails, there should be a way to merge these accounts into one account. Whether individuals, families, or companies, this functionality would be helpful. The permissions should be kept in the transfer, and duplicate files should be identified.

Ability to map Box Groups to Information Barrier Segments
The current requirement for uniqueness in Information Barrier segments only allows Box Admins to add individual users to segments, not user groups. This process can increase the long-term maintenance.
Ideally, customers should be able to use attributes from Active Directory that are then synced to Box Groups. Ultimately, the Box Groups would be used to update Information Barrier segment membership automatically. If the group update breaks the requirement that a user can only belong to one segment, Box could produce an error message.

Aggregate sandbox API use in Production EID Platform Reporting insights

Ability to set metadata editing permissions
Currently, metadata can be edited using anything other than the viewer or previewer.
I would like to see a feature added that allows only administrator privileges to edit metadata, while other privileges can only view metadata (but cannot edit it).メタデータの編集権限を設定可とする機能の要望
メタデータについて、現在はビューワー、プレビューアー以外であれば編集可能ですが、管理者権限でのみメタデータの編集を可能とし、その他の権限ではメタデータの表示のみ可能（編集不可）とするような機能の追加を要望します。

Decode expired Box Links
We have had users create Box Links to various files and folders and by default these links expire. If the employee who created the link leaves the company there is no easy way to decode the location path that the link is associated with. Box creates the links it should be able to decode and discern the location the link is referencing.

Fix "missing" files bug in Box Drive
Please fix the "missing" files bug with Box Drive which has been an issue for years. I'm honestly getting tired of having to tell my users to log out and log back in to clear app cache to fix the issue. It keeps happening after updates. I don't understand why this is so unreliable.

Google Sheet from Box doesn't have the 'Protect Sheet' feature
Hi,
I have created a Google Sheet from Box but I can't 'Protect Sheet' to prevent collaborators from doing any editing. I only want them to open and view the contents via Google Sheet.
The 'Protect Sheet' feature is not available when I open the Google Sheet from Box. Please assist on this.
Thanks,

Give Box Relay more options
Relay is weak at the moment when it comes to renaming files with very few variables supported when compared to rival storage apps.
Adding the ability to do character replacement/removal in the filenames of assets or even using regex would greatly enhance the automation offered by Box and reduce the reliance on third party apps to rename files.

Box Hubs Admin controlled content access
Ability for an admin to restrict from where content can be pulled into a Hub. This would be to minimize end users sharing their own individual user accounts, and instead only be able to curate content from a department level/service account (or other indicated source).

Ability to see deleted items only in the trash of the user who deleted them.
In the case that a user accidentally uploads a sensitive file to an invited folder and delete it to avoid the access of others, the folder collaborator with viewer-uploader or above access permission can find it by searching the trash and moreover he/she can restore it.
We need to limit the ability to see deleted items only in the trash of the user who deleted them.
It would be even better if this could be configured in the admin console.ユーザーが誤って招待されたフォルダに機密ファイルをアップロードし、他のユーザーのアクセスを避けるためにそれを削除した場合、ビューアー/アップローダー以上のアクセス権限を持つフォルダのコラボレータは、ごみ箱を検索することでそれを見つけることができ、さらに彼/彼女はそれを復元することができます。
削除されたアイテムを見ることができるのは、削除したユーザーのごみ箱だけに制限する必要があります。
これを管理コンソールで設定できればさらに良いと考えています。29 votes -
Change the Last Login on the User Details report with Last Activity
The Last Login date of the User Details report doesn't show the real last login time of each users.
As it's misleading, it'better to add the Last activity date instead of Last Login.6 votes -
Provide functionality to extend the 30 day time limit on user acceptance when enabling External User TOS
Currently, the documentation states that when enabling external user TOS, if the user does not accept the TOS within 30 days then they have all access to collaborated content revoked. This is problematic as we have external users that need occasional access but may not heed the warning to accept the TOS. I would like a mechanism to manage this time frame, either extending to 90 days or reset the time for users/groups.
Link to documentation: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044192733-Using-Custom-Terms-Of-Service
If any external collaborators do not accept the ToS within 30 days, they will be removed as a collaborator from the content.
