  1. Multi-user and automatic uploads

    Make box access suitable for multi user computers and have mechanism for automatically uploading data.

    Use case: Lab equipment used by multiple users producing large amounts of data, automatically uploading this to box so as to limit required user interaction and keep local storage in check. Modern equipment can produce large amounts of data and being able to upload this automatically would help with data management. Requiring user intervention to manage their data is less practical with a very large user base so automating this process would again help with this process.

  2. Adding Company Information to Users to Prevent Wrong User Invitations

    When I invite a user with Box, information other than the email address is not displayed, so I think it is possible to invite another user by mistake.

    In order to solve this problem, I think it is necessary to display not only the email address and name but also the company information that the user belongs to when inviting the user.

    For managed users, we want to make it possible to register company affiliation information in account settings and so on, so that it can be displayed when inviting collaborators.

  3. Enable admin settings to customize new user onboarding setup flow

    The new user onboarding displayed at https://{DOMAIN}.app.box.com/onboarding/setupflow should be customizable.

    Currently new users are guided through a one time onboarding set of screens in the web app. These are Box branded and while they personally greet the user are not otherwise configurable.

    This feature should be opt-in, easily disabled by CLI or API (e.g. show-onboarding: False), or allow for customization.

    We can currently enable the promotion of Box Mobile, Notes, etc. in the Admin Console. This would be similar to implement and appropriate on the User Settings console tab.

    Right now the final screen displays a prompt for the …

  4. Delete User without transferring content when using Retention Policy

    【Background】
    When a Retention Policy is active and I try to delete a user that does not have a content that is under retention policy, it is required to transfer their content to another user.

    【Request】
    When the user that does not hold an item that is not under retention policy, I would like to have the user deleted without transferring their content.

    This is because we are currently using an ecosystem called Hakonnect, which manages users, but it returns an error when trying to delete a user with retention policy on.

  5. Adding AI activities to the User Activity Report

    Box AI reporting is currently only available to tenants on the Enterprise Plus plan.
    Box AI is now available to tenants with the business plan or above, but since operation logs cannot be confirmed from reports, auditing is not possible, making it unusable for businesses and posing a fatal security flaw.
    In order to use and utilize Box AI, please make sure that AI activities are output regardless of your plan.

    (日本語訳)
    ユーザーアクティビティレポートのAIアクティビティの追加

    現在Box AIに関するレポート機能を使用できるのは、Enterprise Plusプランを利用しているテナントのみです。
    businessプラン以上のテナントでもBox AIが利用できるようになりましたが、レポートから操作ログが確認できない状態では監査ができないため、企業として利用できずセキュリティ的に致命的な欠陥があります。
    企業でBox AIを利用・活用するため、プランに関わらずBoxAIに関するアクティビティが出力されるよう改修をしてください。

  6. Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk

    I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.

    I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.

    Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.

    Having this functionality…

  7. Export owned and collaborated files & folder tree by user

    When exporting user’s Files & Folder tree, it only shows the users owned folders. It should show all the content the user has in their account, including collaborated folders. even after selecting a specific user.

  8. User setting - View group names

    We demand a change of the screen at the time of user settings.
    After updating to the new UI, we cannot see the back of the group name when adding a user to the group.
    We want the window to be wider or scrollable.

  9. Delete user without transferring content when using legal hold

    【Background】
    1. When "Legal Hold" is ON but no "Retention Policy" set
    2. When I try to delete a user that is not related to the legal hold above, they need to transfer the content to another user.

    【Request】
    Since it is a user that is not affected by the "Legal Hold", I would like to be able to use that user without transferring the content, which is the behaviour when there is no Governance setting.

  10. Custom error message for disabled user

    Currently, if the disabled user accesses box, it shows “Disabled by administrator” and advises them to contact “administrator” only. But there are the possibilities that administrator misses these kind of emails (i.e. Out of office situation). So we would like to add "please contact your administrator or 'co-admin'" for this error message.
    Or, allow the admin to modify this message directly would be the best option.

  11. 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.

  13. Automatically add a Group to all existing folders of an email address

    Our department has been sharing one email address to manage Box folders. Now we want to use our individual emails and add our Group to the existing folders to maintain them. Currently we would have to select the folders individually and there are thousands so that is not realistic. It would be nice if there was a select all option for these folders to add our Group to.

  14. Delete user capability

    Remove the "Get started with Box.pdf" file that is automatically added to each user. This becomes a 1.8 mb content for the user. As users are offboarded, this is content that needs to be transferred to someone before their account can be deleted. The information contained in that PDF can be housed in the help, announcements or notifications.

  16. Enable End Users to Apply Existing Retention Policies to Their Content

    Currently, only administrators can assign retention policies to content in Box. This central control is important for compliance, but it also creates workflow bottlenecks when end users need to apply retention to content immediately for governance, regulatory, or project-specific reasons.

    Allowing end users to apply pre-approved, administrator-created retention policies or templates to their own content would:

    Empower teams to self-govern content in line with company compliance standards.

    Reduce admin overhead and delays.

    Ensure governance rules are applied at the point of content creation, rather than after-the-fact by admins.

  17. Download event is not recorded in User Activity Report

    When a user downloads a signed PDF from the Sign Inbox page, the "Download" event is not recorded in the User Activity Report. Instead, a "Content Access" event is logged.
    However, when downloading a signature log from the same page, the "Download" event is correctly recorded.

    We would like to ensure that the correct event is logged in all cases to accurately track user activities.

  18. Limit the amount of data a user can download to prevent data theft by employees.

    Limit accidental or intentional bulk downloads.

    An ex-employee intentionally or accidentally connected his Network Attached Storage device to his Box account, and it downloaded big chunks of our Box data. We want to prevent very large amounts of data (client work and IP) from being downloaded by users, for example, within a logged-in session, within a set timeframe or by the size of the folder (ie. large folders over a specific size containing folders).

    This could be set per user with an enterprise-level default eg. 5GB. If someone tries to bulk download, the admin is altered. Users can…

  19. Visual indicator when Box Canvas user is just a viewer, not editor

    When using Canvas as a viewer, the user may try to vote on the sticky notes, or try to locate the toolbar, and think that something is broken, when in reality they are looking for features available to editors only.

    We should consider adding some visual indicator of the "view only" status e.g. a banner or a badge at the top, an icon over which a user can hover over to get more info, or an icon by the cursor arrow to indicate editing is disabled.

  20. I want to restrict the installation of the desktop application by user

    Is it possible to add a feature to the management console that allows me to limit the installation of desktop applications (Box Drive, Box Note, etc.) per managed user?

    Once this is achieved, there will be more control over which desktop applications a corporate user can install.
