  1. block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access

    The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

  2. To streamline the data upload process to the BOX app on the iPad, you can follow these steps:

    「I want to store the data I am viewing in an app on my iPad and the data I am viewing on a browser into a specific folder in BOX. When I select BOX as the destination app for sharing, only "All Files" appears in the folder selection for storage, so it takes time to navigate to the desired folder. I would like to have immediate access to my Collection folder for」
    iPadにて、あるアプリで開いているデータやブラウザ上でみているデータをBOXの所定のフォルダに格納しようとするときに、共有先アプリとしてBOXを選択すると、格納先選択のフォルダに、『すべてのファイル』しか出てこないので、目的のフォルダに辿り着くまでに時間がかかってしまっております。
    マイコレクションのフォルダにすぐにアクセスしてアップロードできるようにしてほしい。

  4. Content Explorer Default View Property

    Box Content Explorer - allow an attribute to set default view to Grid (Thumbnail) view.

    This view option is available on the Embed iframe, but strangely not an option for Content Explorer - means that all of my users need an extra click each time). I cannot trigger a click as Content Explorer is already in an iFrame

  5. Microsoft Office

    When collaborating on Office documents shared via Box we're unable to track changes. It would be nice to have this enabled. Essentially the same functionality as if we were working within Sharepoint.

  6. About the "Restrict collaboration to company" setting

    Request
    Please add the item "Limit collaboration within the tenant" in the folder settings to the following location.

    [Management console > Enterprise settings > Content and sharing > Content collaboration]

    ■ Background
    Currently, the company definition of the per-folder setting "Restrict collaboration to company" refers to:

    ・Accounts created with the domain registered in the tenant
    ・Accounts belonging to tenants

    The "company definition" of the shared link can be customized from the management console, but it is unnatural that the internal collaboration cannot be defined.
    By arranging this function on the tenant side and controlling it by the administrator, it will…

  7. File criteria exclusion list for Box Shield classification policies

    When setting up classification policies, Omnicell, Inc., would like to be able to create a list of custom terms to exclude, in addition to the existing ability to designate file criteria that will trigger application of a classification label. This would reduce the number of documents that will incorrectly have a classification applied when auto-classification is enabled. For example, Omnicell has a lot of content with dummy PHI in their environment - this content is allowed to be stored in Box and should not be classified; however, they also want to protect actual PHI that may be stored in Box,…

  8. 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.

  9. About modifying storage values in the User Details report

    <About modifying storage values in the User Details report>
    Just like the storage value of Insights in the Admin console has been corrected, we request that the user details report will also be corrected to display more correct values.
    Due to the UI change, the Insights storage in the management console now displays a relatively correct value, but the user details report has not been corrected and is now showing a lower value.
    As a result, there is a difference between the storage value in Insights and the total storage value output in the user details report.

    <ユーザーの詳細レポートのストレージの値の修正について>
    管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージ値の修正がされたように、ユーザー詳細レポートもより正しい値が表示されるよう修正をお願いします。
    UI変更に伴い管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージは比較的正しい値が表示されるようになったが、ユーザーの詳細レポートでは修正されておらず少なく表示されています。…

  10. Ability to see who locked a file

    identify who locked a file within Box Drive. If there is a file locked, it would be helpful to show the collaborator who has locked the file.

  11. Functionality to embed and directly edit Excel in Box Note.

    When a shared link is included in Box Note, it is possible to embed the preview of Box's interface. However, I request the ability to directly edit an Excel file when a shared link for Excel is included.

    While Box Note does have a feature to insert tables, it inevitably falls short in functionality compared to Excel. Enabling direct online editing would allow for the maximum utilization of Box Note's collaborative editing capabilities.

    BoxNoteにExcelを埋め込み表示して直接編集できる機能

    BoxNoteに共有リンクを記載するとBoxのプレビュー画面の埋め込みができますが、Excelの共有リンクを記載したら直接Online編集が出来るように要望します。
    BoxNoteに表を挿入する機能はあるもののExcelと比較するとどうしても機能的に見劣りします。
    直接Online編集が出来るとBoxNoteの共同編集機能を最大限活用が出来るようになります。

  12. Gallery

    I share albums of photos which are hosted in a box folder. It would be great if the page that I share could look like a very nice gallery layout similar to a Google photos album where some photos are bigger and some are smaller. Rather than the UI of a grid layout with filename. To have an option to to view like this when sharing

  13. When a client is viewing on their phone in browser, the video should go full screen when they hold their phone horizontally.

    I have clients who view our videos on their phone everyday. I can’t control if they have the box ap or what phone/browser they use. But they should be able to view our videos full screen horizontally. Currently it will go full screen Vertically, but if they move their phone horizontally it is a weird zoomed in look that is not full screen.

  14. Show full file names within iOS app

    The current iOS mobile app by design only shows the first 10-12 characters of file names in portrait mode. It is not much better in landscape mode. This makes the app very hard to work with if you have many files which have the same first 20-50 characters. It should be possible to view the full file names in the iOS app.

  16. Feature to lock the signed document in Box automatically

    Hi - Once a document is signed by all parties and when the signed version of document is generated, is there a way in settings we can make the signed document to be locked.

    Once the document is signed, I can see the option to lock the document. Wondering if this could be done through settings and not manually every time a document is signed.

    There should be a settings on the Box sign, which could make this automatic.

  17. Content Manager should be content-based instead of user-based

    Request from healthcare customer: Instead of Content Manager being organized by user, then showing their folder structures and content within that user, Content Manager should be a direct reflection of the organization's folder structure in a tree view that allows the admin to have an understanding of what is in their tenant, root level folders, and then if you click on an individual folder, you can see the corresponding users and content within.

  18. default file request webpage for child folders

    We would like to create a default File Request Webpage Template that automatically applies to every folder we create under the parent folder rather than having to Copy the File Request Webpage.

    We expect the root parent "Request File Webpage" to be the default for all child folders created new under the parent folder...

    We want the exact same layout and fields on every "Request File Webpage" for every child folder under the parent.
    Not the link, but the Webpage layout and fields.

  20. Box Status site improvement

    1. Adding status of each region on Box Status site(https://status.box.com/) , because currently an outage impacting only users in a specific zone/region doesn’t appear on the status site. (e.g. customers who are in Asia region are unable to download/upload/preview.)

    2. Clarifying the definition of impact. "Incident Response and Communications" article (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697394-Our-Approach-to-Incident-Response-and-Communications) has the guideline of customer impact. However, definitions and examples of each category are not clear enough.
