  1. Request for improvement of the UI for granting permissions displayed on the content card in Box for Teams

    If you try to grant permission before sending a message, you will see the error message "Return to the main window to perform this action"
    We are aware that this behavior is documented in a support article.
    However, the permission prompts on the content cards are confusing because they seem to require immediate action to grant permissions.
    We would like to see the UI improved so that it is clear that permissions can only be granted after the message has been sent.

     suggestion1:Display a message that lets users know that they cannot grant permission until after they send a message.…

  2. Enable SSO through OAuth2 and not only SAML 2.0

    We use an in-house IdP. This IdP leverages OAuth2 OpenID. It does not use SAML 2.0

    Therefore we need Box to have the capability to enable SSO through OAuth2 and not only SAML 2.0

  3. Add support for Integrated Windows Authentication for Box Drive login flow

    Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) allows for the following login flow for the webapp:

    1. User logs into Windows
    2. User goes to Box and selects to use SSO to login
    3. When the user is redirected to their Identity Provider, the browser sends the user's OS credentials and the user does not need to enter credentials again
    4. User is logged into Box

    This would provide a more seamless experience for users. In our computer labs, users would sign into Windows, click one button in the Box Drive login window, and have access to their Box content natively in the OS.

  5. Enhance sorting (alphabetical order)

    We use box for our law firm. We often have hundreds of exhibits in a folder. For example: "Exhibit 1 - XYZ Transcript." The exhibits should be listed in alphabetical order, so that Exhibit 1 is first, Exhibit 2 second, so on. But when there is an "Exhibit 11" that becomes the second exhibit listed, "Exhibit 12" the third exhibit. Please build an option to fix this so that they are put in the correct alphabetical order.

    Using lettering rather than numeration doesn't help because there usually more than 26 exhibits.

  6. Restore Box Drive behavior on MacOS when it mounted as an external hard drive with on-demand file streaming

    Product: Box Drive Version 2.24.193 installed 2021-10-12 on MacOS 11.6

    Newest release 2021-10-12 has removed the "external hard drive behavior" and on-demand file streaming feature (as illustrated in first 2 minutes of https://youtu.be/t7tPs1naUtY), which was THE reason I use Box. Now it behaves like OneDrive: (1) viewing Box file requires full download, (2) downloaded file remains on computer until manual removal, (3) dragging and dropping into Box folder literally moves file rather than copying file. These behaviors make life miserable and are the reasons I do not use OneDrive. Now Box has removed the sole reason I want to…

  7. MFA option to be TOTP or SMS or Email

    When the MFA option is released currently the option is:
    1. TOTP
    2. TOTP or SMS or Email.

    Can you make it a check list so we can enable the one we want?
    For example, I only want TOTP and SMS.

  8. Option to Remove Expiration of a Collaborator after Auto-Expiration is disabled

    Admin request option when disabling Auto-Expiration feature for collaborators within Enterprise:

    1. Allow option to choose extension date for pre-existing collaborators who's access is going to expire.
    2. Allow option to disable/remove auto expiration for collaborators by Admin or Owner.

    This will affect multiple user across our enterprise where they will have to be re-invited to folders since expiration cannot be removed.

    Thank you for your note! We will consider this request with additional demand.

  9. Default sort order to updated descending

    1. Trash default sort is Name Ascending – Can we get this changed to Updated descending
    2. In any view, when clicking the Updated column, can we get the first click to be Descending instead of Ascending.

  10. box sync ignore files

    Are you kindly considering adding a feature to skip / ignore certain paths (directories, files) stored on local machine from syncing? Some examples of situations where inability to exclude files from backup causes undesired issues: 1) There are programs which store temporary files among synced folders. These temporary files frequently change and are deleted on program exit, which results into frequent unnecessary synchronization and deletion of files in cloud, therefore waste of computing resources and bandwidth. 2) Specific program creates empty file "running" to indicate it's in running state. Box Sync does not sync empty file but warns user each…

  11. Easier way to create a bookmark in Box from shared link generation

    Bookmark takes too many steps even when saving a Box's shared link. It should be easier to create a bookmark of a shared Link from adoption perspective.

    As-Is: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Copy the link 3. Move to folder where I want to save a bookmark 4. Create Bookmark and paste&name the link

    To-Be: 1. Generate a shared link 2. Prepare a prompt (probably in the shared Link generation popup) and select "Create Bookmark" and user can select folder they would like to save the link in within the same prompt 3. Save the bookmark (without actually moving…

  12. Compliance & Retention of File Activity Comments

    We are using the Activity section on each file to keep a running list of processing notes for each documents - ie invoice approvals, marketing and advertising review, etc. More granular control of comment governance would be very helpful.

    For instance, including comments in permission settings to prevent a user from deleting comments, or include in Governance Admin Panel an option to disable comment editing. Comments should also be subject to the same retention requirements imposed on the file itself - ie if the file has a 5 year retention period.

    Also, while there is a User Activity report that…

  13. Ability to print PDF documents without downloading

    In order to make it easier for the end user to print PDFs it'd be nice to have a print option directly in the context menu (both in the document preview and on document list).

    As PDFs tend to contain forms to fill in either interactively or manually it might be consiedered as useful to print them directly from the browser. Currently it's not possible as after user hits 'command + P' there's only 1 blank page to be printed.

    The current user path for printing a PDF is:
    1. Open a PDF in box webapp
    2. download it to…

  14. 2-Factor Authentication for Drive

    If a client has MFA/2-Factor Authentication required for all users, it would be great if Drive required similar additional protection to safeguard user content.

    The headquarters IT department wants to automate the monthly task of issuing invoices for system usage fees to the group’s local subsidiaries.

    [Customer Needs]
    They want to implement the following workflow as a web-based solution without custom development.

    1. Enter invoice data per subsidiary via Forms
    2. Generate the invoice with Doc Gen
    3. Send a signature request to the manager via Box Sign
    4. After the manager signs, move the document to the shared folder with the local subsidiary

  16. Removed Collaborator Report That Show Affected Folder Path, Folder Owner, & Link To Affected Folder

    Recently, my company ran into an integration bug between Okta and Box, which result in a mass deprovisioning of users account. We were able to reprovision user account fairly quick but there as a mass folder permission lost.

    If the user permission was granted via a group, all permission was successfully restored. However, if the permission was granted individually, that permission was lost. Ticket was open with Box support to request for assistance with folder permission restore but they could not help.

    So the next best thing was try to run "User Activity" report on "Removed Collaborator" on the service…

  17. Add avility to highlight differences between any 2 versions of BoxNotes.

    At this time, highlight is available but it is just once and never appear again.

    This idea makes it possible to view differences between the current version and the version one generation ago by showing hilights permanentily . Sure, any 2 versions of BoxNotes are better.

  20. Tighter integration with Box Notes and Outlook

    Box Notes should better integrate with Outlook similar to how OneNote does. From an Outlook event on your calendar, users can easily create a OneNote meeting note file, as well as assign tasks and include emails/contacts on the OneNote file as well.
