  1. New App Management UI needs improvements

    The New App management UI was released the week of Feb 3 2020. We would like to see a few enhancements:
    1) Provide a way copy or export the whitelist of client IDs for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
    2) List the App ID or App Name along with the Client IDs that are whitelisted for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
    3) Provide better explanation for each section…

  2. Box Drive Accidental Deletion

    Since the introduction of Box Drive end users that haven't read the documentation and skip through the walkthrough aren't used to seeing all of the files and folders.

    The user without realizing, then believes that all of these files and folders either aren't needed or are taking up physical space on their hard drive.  The user then either randomly deletes select files and folder or just deletes everything within Box Drive.  A solution is needed to either further alert or prevent this.  One other possible solution is to create a process to fully restore all of the deletions and collaborations.

  3. Save Function

    In terms of product improvement, it is evident that the “Save As” functionality is not an efficient way of saving existing files within Box. If a “Save” or “Sync” functionality is available, this would make the end user experience better. Your other competitors like Microsoft’s SharePoint does have the functionality available to just sync without needing to go through the whole “Save As” approach.

  4. Shared link permissions enterprise default

    A way to force reset everyone to the enterprise default for shared link permission level.
    +
    A setting that would allow only a subset of users to have the broader level of sharing – say there is opt 1 – people in company / opt 2 people in company + invited / opt 3 people in company + invited + anyone with the link

    Ex. So the enterprise default for all users would be locked down to a max of option 2 (giving users opt 1 & 2 as choices) – we could allow a small subset option 3 (giving…

  5. Email upload failures, granular details requested

    Email upload failures to provide more details about the email address and folder being uploaded to. In some instances, automations get set up and users that set them up leave, which means if they start failing, the remaining users do not know what folder it is going to if they cannot locate the automation. In others, a box upload email accidentally gets added to CC. Adding the requested information would help customers hunt down the folders in question to ensure nothing improper was uploaded or to help locate the automation.

  6. Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally

    Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.

    For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
    But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.

  7. Improve Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance

    mprove Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance - specifically when it relates to file types like .eml or .msg.
    1) Allow for exceptions - e.g. quarantine all content that is uploaded with .msg, but allow it for Y folder. Use case: one team in particular needs to be able to save this type of content to Box and has permission from legal to do so.
    2) Change the "Email" option to include "User who violated the policy" - for example, in addition to sending a warning email to Admins who want to track upload of .eml files, also send the email…

  8. Allowing the ability to ignore ownership on certain files

    We are trying to store Capture One Photoshoots on Box Drive so multiple people can access them and all adjustments are saved. There is the session file, RAW image files and various files storing the processing settings, thumbnails, etc.

    I can copy a shoot to Box and work on it fine but if someone else tries to work on it, Box won't let the software overwrite the settings file and makes copies of everything with the 2nd persons email address on it. This is related to ownership of the files.

    It would be great if we could turn that off…

  9. Approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files

    We want to approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files.

    For example, I get an application for three files and I want to turn back only one of them, but as it stands, I need to turn back all three. The applicant has to choose three files again and re-apply, which is very time-consuming.

  10. Upload Completion Notification

    I love how I am notified when a set of files are uploaded into a specific folder but I am having one very key issue. I will receive the notification upon upload, but many times because it is 10+ large images, the images are not done uploading. I will review the folder but be unaware that the Upload is not complete. I may see 5 images with 5 still uploading.

    Is there a way Box could show us of upload progress? OR possibly send a second notification when the upload is complete?

  12. My Collection and Favorite to be independent on the Web

    Hi Team,

    The client requested that My Collection and Favorite to be independent from each other on the Web so that it is easier to see each folder inside.

    The client has an image something similar to what is now on the mobile app.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration!

  13. Exclude users from Single Sign On

    The Single Sign On feature is currently an "all or none" setting and it would be nice to have the option to exclude certain users from the SSO requirement when enabled.

  15. The ability to zoom in on BoxNotes from mobile

    When small picture attached in the BoxNotes, user is often not able to see the detail as zoom-in is not supported. I need to go back to my laptop every time and that is inconvenient.

  16. Reconcile behavior between Edit and Drive after a conflict

    There is different behavior between Box Drive and Box Edit when uploading after conflicted happened. We would like to change behavior as same as Box Edit. This difference might lead to be confusion for the customer.

    Actual Behavior at this moment:

    Box Drive
    1. User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
    2. User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
    3. User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
    4. User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened.…

  17. Provide the ability to customize the message that is sent to workflow participants when starting a Relay workflow.

    I have a review workflow that I want to use repeatedly. Each time I start the workflow I have specific instructions that I want the workflow participants to see. This is usually a complete timeline for the review cycle in which the current review might be the first or subsequent steps.

    My workaround right now is to send a separate email to the workflow participants, but this means they get 2 emails about the same review.

  18. favorites as a list on the side bar

    I am really frustrated that my list of favorites is not along the side bar anymore. The whole point was to limit the number of clicks, and now I have to click twice to see the list again, and it's not along the side but in the center,. Please put the favorites back along the side!

  20. Box Drive updates should preserve Mac Finder Favorites

    I use Favorites in Finder on my Mac to mark folders that I need to access frequently. But, when Box Drive runs and update, my Favorites are all removed. I then need to take time to reestablish all of my favorites. Box Drive should preserve the links in Favorites. This is especially true since Box Drive does not show the favorites marked it the Box webapp.
