  1. Option to overwrite metadata values when moving file

    We would like the option for a metadata attribute to be overwritten automatically when moved to a folder with cascading metadata enabled for the same metadata template.

    Here's our use case:
    Some of our organization content currently sits in user folders. People accessing that content have no way of knowing where it sits, and therefore can't take action to move it to the desired location. Applying a metadata template indicating if content sits within a user or an organizational folder would be a great way to make this visible to users. With the current behavior, we can't do that, as…

  2. Automatic validation of Box Folder and File access

    At IBM we have various tools that have automated validations, where people who have access to the tool are notified to ensure that they have a continued business need to access the tool. At times the manager is also copied on the email.
    I would like to see Box for IBM implement something for us to manage Box Folders and Files which people have access to IBM Confidential Information be more protected on a regular basis.
    Thank you!

    It would be nice to limit the characters allowed in a text field (either via the markup page or through a parameter in the template tags) (e.g. '[[t|1|m:1|limit:300]]). This way users can't type in an essay, typing OVER existing text already in the PDF

  8. I want the folder selection screen to be sorted by name.

    [Administration Console] > [Users and Groups] > [Select any managed user] >
    When you press [Select Folder] in the [Folder Collaboration] item
    The folders are not sorted by name, making it difficult to find. I would like to be able to sort or sort by name.

    [管理コンソール]>[ユーザーとグループ]>[任意の管理対象ユーザーを選択]>
    [フォルダコラボレーション]の項目にて[フォルダを選択]を押下した際の
    フォルダの並びが名前順でないため、探しにくい。名前順にするか、並び替えできるようにしてほしい。

  9. Enhance error messages when storage exceeded to identify which account is over storage

    When a user uploads an item to a folder that would exceed the quota, it says "Account storage limit reached." This is misleading if the folder is owned by another user. Users ask for more quota, but it's a different account that has the problem. Please identify the folder owner of the folder that's over quota in the error message.

    This applies both to Web UI and Box Drive error messages.

    Notify users before account becomes inactive.

    System should have the feature to set the days before notification goes out to users that are approaching the threshold of inactivity (user not accessing Box).

  11. Enabling external links/references in excel workbooks

    In Excel any external references (e.g. in macros or other workbooks) are disabled, for data driven companies who use excel heavily it would be ideal to have these functions available in box drive. Using Box online can be limiting.

  12. Support for Context Menu Actions on Multiple Files in Box Integrations

    developer community post

    Dear Box Product Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I recently reached out regarding an issue I encountered while developing an integration for Box, specifically related to context menu actions on multiple files. Upon discussing the matter with your developer advocate, I was informed that the behavior I observed, where context menu options are not available for multiple file selections, is by design.

    While I understand that there may be considerations and design decisions behind this behavior, I would like to provide feedback from a developer's perspective. It would greatly enhance the flexibility and usability…

  14. Box Shuttle Scheduling Feature onboard

    Currently BoxShuttle does not have a scheduler function.
    By adding a scheduler function as a standard feature, data migration can be set up in advance during the night, which is expected to be more convenient.

  15. Include comments in workflow complete email

Customer wants to see all of the comments associated with that approval workflow when they receive the email confirmation that the workflow is compete. That email confirmation is saved and they want the context that the comments provide included in that confirmation email.

  16. Allow reporting of user search activity

    Allow reporting of user search activity.

    We would like to get statistics on how many times a day users search on Box. 
    And what searched. who was search.
    This is currently not available in the User Activity Report.

    that research for user's searching demand is an important knowledge data for admin and usage development.

    Appreciate.

  18. Add new Variables to Box Relay for Naming

    In Box Relay, I find the additional variables in the Naming of Folders and Files, such as the Trigger Date, to be very helpful. However, I would like to suggest including a new variable that would reference "Workflow Starter".

    Workflow Starter variable could potentially include:

    • User's email
    • User's Last and First name
    • User's Box ID

    By incorporating this variable, I would be able to effectively organize incoming files into folders named after the user who uploaded them.

    Thank you!

  19. Schedule settings for all reports

    Currently, the following reports cannot be scheduled.
    ・Platform Activity
    ・Outbound Activity
    ・Security Logs
    ・Legal Holds
    ・Retention

    There are several types of reports that only the administrator can output, Since it takes time to output each report, automatic acquisition on a regular basis will improve operational efficiency.

    <すべてのレポートでスケジュール設定をできるようにする>
    現在以下のレポートではスケジュール設定することができません。
    ・Platform Activity
    ・外部のコラボレーション
    ・セキュリティログ
    ・リーガルホールド
    ・リテンション

    管理者しか出力できないレポートの種類が複数あり、各レポートの出力にも時間がかかるため、
    定期的に自動取得が行えれば業務効率化につながります。
