shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!
shared file links are unique URLs and not a file path we need the file path!!!!!
The URL is meaningless to the end user and the file path would create an easier way to return to the same document and recognize where it is saved3 votes -
Restrict file request dashboard manipulation by co-admin
When a user is made a Tenant Co-Admin, the File Requests dashboard in the Management Console can be manipulated regardless of the permissions granted.
If we want to give co-administrators permission to use certain features, such as running reports, it is a high security risk to allow them to manipulate content in the tenant.Please improve the ability to restrict file request dashboard operations from co-admin permission settings.

共同管理者によるファイルリクエストのダッシュボードの操作を制限する
ユーザーをテナントの共同管理者にすると、どの権限を付与しているかに関わらず管理コンソールのファイルリクエストのダッシュボードが操作できてしまいます。
レポートの実行など特定の機能を使えるように共同管理者の権限を付与したい場合に、テナント内のコンテンツを操作できてしまうとセキュリティ面でリスクが高くなります。ファイルリクエストのダッシュボードの操作も共同管理者の権限設定から制限できるよう改善してください。

Folder differentiation on Web App
While Box does show a different folder if a folder is shared (blue with people silhouette) you are unable to tell which is shared BY you and which is shared TO you. I recommend changing the folder color to the default color, but adding the people silhouette when YOU share folders, then the blue one with the silhouette can be used for folders shared TO you.

Open link accessible only by those who hold a Box account
I want to share sensitive content with people outside my organization for a limited time (e.g., 3 days).
Problems:
- Using an open link does not allow restricting access to specific individuals. Also, if the person does not have a Box account, it is not possible to record an access log.
- Using collaborators does not allow for automatically removing certain collaborators after a set period.
Please provide a solution.
機密コンテンツを期間限定（例：3日間）で社外に見せたい（共有したい）。
問題
- オープンリンクを使用すると、特定の個人へのアクセスを制限できません。
また、Box アカウントを持たない個人の場合は、アクセスログを記録することができません。
- コラボレーターを使用しても、一定期間後に特定のコラボレーターを自動的に削除することはできません。解決策を提供してください。

Provide a mechanism to indicate which BOX space you are in - potentially by account owner
It has become clear that personnel often are invited to multiple Box spaces. This can cause confusion due to folder naming that doesn't indicate what Box account that folder is associated with.
It would be beneficial if there was some method to indicate which Box account you are posting information in. This could be done with some type of context switching in the web app, or some listed account name with the folder.
We have found that often times, some personnel with 'free' Box Lite accounts will post information in their 'free' account instead of dropping them in the Box folder they have been invited to. Other time there are personnel that just don't recognize they are in their Box 'free' account compared to a 'compliant' Box account they have been invited to collaborate within.
So in short, the request is to have some type of clear indicator for which Box account you are collaborating in, or some method to context switch between your Box accounts.

Contact search on first and last name when sharing a folder
When searching a contact to share a folder with, the first name, surname and even the email address should be listed as results if they contain the string you are looking for.
Today search "Smith" to find "John Smith" doesn't give any result, but searching "John" will give "John Smith". The issue is that something you only know the first name or last name of the contact you're looking for. Mickey Mouse might be registered as "Mouse Mickey" and won't be found searching "Mickey". Disturbing.

Box Drive app more easily accessible
It would be convenient to have an install Box link located in the Help menu or my Account icon similar to Dropbox. Even still, when I navigate to the Box App Center I have to go to Box Drive, scroll down to the respective OS and install. It sounds tedious but I needed to install Box and Dropbox on a bunch of computers and was reminded how the Box user experience still doesn't hold up to Dropbox. Neither is perfect and both have great features but I always feel like Box makes me take steps I don't need or doesn't understand the customer workflow. More QA and everyday user testing please.

Google Sheets preview
The name of "sheet" on Google spreadsheet is normally displayed in the tab style and we can switch several sheets from one to another. However, when previewing Google Sheets file on Box, the name of sheet are displayed at the top of each page, which forces users to scroll down to the sheet they would like to see.
I want Google Sheets preview to have the same view and style as the native Google spreadsheet.2 votes -
Customize shared link theme and logo
As the File request link can be customized (text, colors, logo...), it would be great to customize a shared link too.
We have many companies inside our enterprise, so each company would be able to set its logo for their shared links (and not the default one of the enterprise).1 vote -
I would like shortcut files created on Box Drive to be reflected on Box Web as well.
I am aware that shortcut files (.lnk) created in Box Drive (on Explorer) are ignored as a file type and cannot be synchronized.
However, in my work, I use Box Drive a lot and sometimes create shortcuts, but I can't share them because they are not synced, and they are deleted when I log out of the system.
I feel this kind of specification is very inconvenient.
I would love to see you respond to make this happen.(Japanese)
Box Drive(エクスプローラー上)で作成したショートカットファイル(.lnk)は、
無視されるファイルの種類として対象となっており同期が出来ないことは認識してます。
しかしながら業務上、Box Driveの利用が多くショートカットの作成することがありますが、
同期されないことで共有もできず、またログアウトしたことで削除されてしまう。
このような仕様だと大変不便に感じてます。
実現に向けて是非対応してほしい。104 votes -
Add keyword conditions to search filter.
Currently, possible to search by combining Boolean operators and keywords, it is a hurdle for users to use without knowledge.
It would be easier to search if the search filter had a narrowing criterion such as "includes ~" or " not include ~".(日本語)
検索フィルタにキーワードの条件指定を追加する
現在ブール演算子とキーワードを組み合わせることで検索することは可能ですが、知識がないとユーザーが使用するのはハードルが高いです。
検索フィルタに”～を含む”、”～を含まない”のような絞り込み条件があればもっと簡単に検索ができます。4 votes -
Allow for exceptions on the Download and Print Restriction security control.
Allow for exceptions on the Download and Print Restriction security control.
We want to restrict users from downloading files that have been identified as having PII. However, we would like a mechanism to allow users that have a business reason to download files. Either through a 'User Justification' similar to the 'External Collaborators Restriction' security policy or an approval workflow.

Ability to scope Malicious Content Rules by User/Group/Shield Lists
Currently malicious content rules apply to all users. To test moving from an audit/detection-only stance to enforcement, it would be useful to be able to create multiple rules that are scoped to specific users/groups/Shield Lists.
This will allow us to keep most users in an audit/detection-only rule, while we test enforcement with a pilot group in another rule.3 votes -
Selecting files on the Box UI
I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

An option to set a parent folder and all subfolders to "available online only"
Currently, the default drop down menu allows for "Make available offline". This option applies to all sub-folders as well. This is great. After for working on various projects over many months I forget which projects were set to "Make available offline" and requires a lot of tedious and time consuming digging to find folders that were offline and then turn them off.
It would be great to have the option for any folder regardless of previous settings to "online only".3 votes -
launching office pop up box
Can you add an option to tick a box 'do not show this again' for the launching office pop up. I have to shut this so many times a day and it's totally pointless for a regular user.

Ability to populate a metadata date field with current date
We need to log when an approval has occurred. Populating the metadata date field with the current date would be very beneficial.

Searching for names with & does not work
Hi, we have a group called M&A - you cannot actually share any folders or files with this group through the traditional methods because searching for M M& or M&A does not produce the group on box.com

Improve on Download log in the Activity Log
Currently when trying to access to a file that does not have a collaboration right, it is registered as download in the activity report.
I have heard the support team that this is expected behaviour due to the backend work to read the thumbnail.
However, when looking at the activity log, it looks like a user has "downloaded" that file even though they do not have access to it so would like the report to not show "download" but something else to know that the user hasn't actually downloaded that file.2 votes
