  1. Fix Version History for Co-Authored Files

    Now that co-authoring is available on Office files (which is a great feature!) version history is paying the price. On files that are edited often, the version history is growing out of control which leads to two primary issues:

    1 - Since only the last 100 versions of a file are available, the significant increase in versions caused by co-authoring means you may only have a few days worth of version history instead of months or years of history. Consider more version history and/or the ability to specify on a file how often an "accessible" version is saved for viewing…

  2. Disposition Report should be able to show files that were deleted in the past

    It's important for GxP compliance and ease of auditing to know what files were disposed of in the past, or during a specific period, like in the last 30 days, last 6 months, etc.

    Disposition report should be able to show previous deletions, not just upcoming deletions, and admins should be able to filter by retention policy, and date.

  4. Prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files

    When some user invites an external collaborator as "Editor" to some folder, the external user can delete any files in the folder. The deleted file is sent to the external collaborator's trash. It's not good for some security-centric customer, so they need the function to prohibit that an external collaborator deletes files to protect their assets.

    not planned  ·  jfain responded

    This should be managed through our existing permissions framework rather than a specific policy. If an external user deletes a file, it also lives in the owner’s trash folder who is a managed user in this instance.

  5. Sorting Files Uploaded By File Request

    A single file request collects multiple files which all end up in the same folder from many users. There is no automated way to sort this content e.g. In a case where 500 files are submitted. Can a method to automatically sort this be created e.g. upload zones sending content into separate sub-folders or Relay moving groups of content based on metadata into new folders created upon upload

  6. If the access policy restricts download and printing, Excel files cannot be co-edited with MS Excel Online

    Excel files cannot be co-edited in MS Excel Online if the access policy restricts downloading and printing.
    One of the purposes of using Excel Online is co-editing.
    I would like to be able to co-edit in a situation where downloads are restricted.

  7. Run report to demonstrates permanent deletion of files

    I really need the ability to run a report that demonstrates that my files have been permanently deleted.

    Given requirements in the various data privacy laws across the world, our company may be required to delete data or files at any time, and provide proof of deletion. However, once something is deleted from our Box account, it sits in Trash for 30 days before being permanently purged. (And, if I understand correctly, the data may be recoverable for 14 days after that?)

  8. [Support preview of ".xct" files] Support preview of ".xct" files

    We use DocuWorks for our business.
    At this time, the Box preview supports ".xdw" and ".xbd", but unfortunately ".xct" is not yet supported.

    A similar request was submitted on the following BoxPulse, which was "Delivered" as of 09/2022, but only the ".xct" is still not in preview.
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/39875047-preview-files-about-xdw-xbd-and-xct-in-box-for-io

    Therefore, we need to register Fujifilm's source files with AppleStore in order to use DocuWorks from Box for EMM.
    It is very inconvenient that ".xct" cannot be previewed when using DocuWorks, so please add it to the preview support list.


    弊社では業務にDocuWorksを利用しています。
    現時点では、Boxのプレビューでは「.xdw」と「.xbd」に対応していますが、残念ながら「.xct」には未対応です。

    以下のBoxPulseで類似の要望が投稿されており、
    2022年09月の時点で「配信済み」になっていますが、現在も「.xct」のみプレビュー対象になっていません。

  9. Create a subflow for rejected files in Box Relay

    In Box Relay, when an approval task occurs and the file is rejected, there should be an option to create a subflow for the rejection. Right now, we can only set-up a task or do nothing.

    We use metadata to categorize our files and trigger other relays. Right now, both unprocessed files and rejected files have no tag, because the rejected task workflow does not allow more actions to be taken on the file.

    We would like to be able to create a general task for our users, tag the file, and move the rejected file to a separate folder,…

  11. Allow user configurable files and folder list length in list view

    As we move file shares into Box, we are getting more and more users who want to see/configure a longer list(or possibly scrollable list) in the files/folder list view. Essentially, they don't want to have to click every 20 files or so to browser their way through a list of 1000 files in a folder -- they just want to see what's there.

  12. Rollback all files uploaded even if one fails to upload

    Under the current design, when uploading multiple files, the successful files are stored in Box, even if one of the uploads fails. As a result, subsequent processing, e.g. adding metadata, may also not take place. This is inconvenient for the user under the usecase of using File Request+Metadata. The user has to look for files that were not uploaded and has to check the metadata for files that were uploaded. And if the uploader is anonymous, it's impossible. This Pulse requests that if one or more uploads fail, the uploads of other files performed in that File Request are…

  13. Allow uploading of files to locked NetSuite records

    NetSuite workflows or script can lock a record, typically for approval purposes. Box file behavior should follow standard NetSuite file cabinet attachment behavior, namely, attachment permission is separated from the lock record function, so that files can still be attached, deleted, or renamed in Box on locked NetSuite records.

  16. When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash.

    When users delete folders, we want not only the folders but also the files within to be shown in Trash. Here is the behavior we noticed: a. We enable "Restrict content creation" in Enterprise Settings. b. User who is not the owner of the folder deletes files. -> The files will be shown in Trash. c. The same user deletes the folder which the files above existed in. d. The files which were deleted in process "a" are no longer shown in trash, making users unable to restore them, unless they restore the folder itself. e. However, the files

  19. Bulk converting files to most-recent latest version

    Recently for some unknown reason, many of my files content were lost (size showed 0 bytes and could not be opened).

    I had to revert those files back to most recent previous version MANUALLY, 1 BY 1 to recover my files (there were 200+ files affected). Please consider allowing bulk version revert.

    Also, will be great to be able to search files with potential errors (e.g. 0 Bytes), so I don't have to manually locate them.

    Thanks

  20. Make contents of Apple iWork files fully searchable

    Currently Apple iWork files (.key, .numbers, .pages) are not searchable on Box, even though uploading, previewing and editing them on Box is possible. As our company mainly works with these Mac files, this is a big limitation for us. It would be great if all iWork formats can be search using the full text searched functions in Box.

    As a Box user, I want to be able to do a full text search on Apple iWork files, so that I can find them based on their contents when I do not remember their file names.
