As a Box user I want to be able to specify the starting page for a file using the Box Embed Widget so that I do not have to create multiple
Background:
Whenever I have a multi-page document that I wish to embed on a Wiki or Web page I have to create multiple, physical copies of that file (and keep them in sync) when I want a specific page to be shown on the widget.
Business Impact:
Reduced issues and time wasted with having to maintain multiple physical documents that have to be created in order to show specific pages on wiki's and web sites.

Notify users of product updates in-app
Use in-line notifications in the web app to update end users when a feature is “coming soon” vs. waiting until it’s already launched. It would be great also if you could toggle this on and off on the admin side.
This is something that more and more apps are doing, like a pop up window to let end users know about new features, especially for features not controlled by the admin.7 votes -

Customer Privacy
I noticed a bug in your system. You can set permissions so that users cannot see other users. However, I discovered a loophole that would compromise this and allow users to access other user's personal information like email addresses. When typing an email on the comments section, it will display other user's email addresses even when those permission are set off. I was told by a Box customer service rep that there is no way to set user permissions and avoid that customer privacy problem.

The pop up box when you first sign up is very obtrusive. There's no X to click to make the box disappear and it's not helpful.
Allow users to click on the basic steps box on the bottom left corner to disappear. It's obtrusive to have to walk through those steps to make it go away

View notification activity for items in the item properties details
When viewing the properties of an item, there should be an option to view a history of notifications that were triggered for that item. This would allow people, such as an uploader, to verify that the intended collaborators are receiving the information about the upload, and take action if the notifications are not triggered.
Potentially having an item saying something like "notification suppressed" for those who have the options disabled or if the folder settings are defined to disable notifications would be useful as well.

Custom link URL sensitive content warning is misplaced
Under the checkbox to set a custom URL there is this warning: "Custom URLs should not be used when sharing sensitive content."
Custom URLs are not the problem! Anyone who guesses a custom URL and is thereby able to access it already had permissions needed to access it.
The warning should be "'Anyone with the link' should not be used when sharing sensitive content" and it should be in the prior popup.
Meanwhile, when a user has created a restricted link and then comes here to make a custom URL, the existing warning creates needless Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in…

Email notifications should include context
We want Box generated email notifications to include context re: the folder-level where the user was added.
For people like our boss who wants to know what is going on with a project without having to open a folder the information provided in the email notification will have to let him know what project (folder) it is associated with.

I'd like to be able to set the e-mail address for uploads to box folders
My team uses Box to allow students in our training courses to upload some of their code for review at a later time. One of the indispensable features has been the ability for these students to e-mail their code to Box, which alleviates many of the security concerns our clients have re: thumb drives, etc.
The one issue at this point is that when allowing e-mails to a Box folder, the e-mail address name is auto-genrated. I have no problem with this in theory, but in practice it results in typos, missed e-mails, and re-work.
I would love for either:

Including the original path to a file that was deleted.
It would make it easier to identify what files need to be restored if the original full path of the file was included in the trash folder and that information could be used in a sort/search.

Displaying bookmarks as thumbnails of the jpgs the bookmarks link to
Team members find it helpful to comb through thumbnails of jpg images in a Box folder all at a glance. For some purposes, we would like team members to have access to a folder of bookmarks that each link to a jpg image, instead of having access to a folder with actual jpg images. However, with access to such a folder of bookmarks, each individual bookmark displays as a bookmark iconic image of a chain link. With this, team members cannot just comb through thumbnail jpg images all at a glance as they would if they were looking at a…

Ability to trigger multiple workflows
“Lets put it like this, if you have the functionality to split workflows based on different files in 1 folder, people here would want to switch from Sharepoint to Box ?. It is currently the key reason to stay with Sharepoint as far as I’m made aware of.”
Basically, the customer wants to be able to trigger multiple workflows within one folder, but only on some files for each workflow. Currently they could achieve this through metadata, but this would not be contained to the folder.

Version History (Read- only)
We need a way to copy content, while retaining file version history, yet allow us to set the collaborators to “Read Only” and change the shared links to “Read Only” in a new location folder. We need this for historical purposes and have the original structure in a point in time snap shot. We still want the users to read from it but have no ability to change anything. This way they can cleanup items in the original folder structure without affecting the point in time copy. We need the version history to be copied as well.

Drag-and-drop file uploads in any portion of white space in a given folder
Files that are dragged from computer to browser window are not successfully uploaded to Box Drive folders unless they are dragged atop already existing files. Would you be able to expand the drag-and-drop's "catch region" to include all of the Box Drive folders' white space in a browser window? Thank you!

Metrics for tracking most oft-accessed files on a Box Drive shared among a team, department, etc.
OneDrive's tallying of the number of times particular files are accessed and by whom helped direct organization efforts for cloud storage and understand staff behavior. The Box Drive does not have a similar quantitative feature, as far as I know. Possible to create such a feature, to track who, when, and how often particular files and folders are used by staff permitted access? Thank you!

Allow non-admin users to call 'Get Enterprise Users API'.
I want to develop a program that provides an auto-completion feature that displays the names of enterprise users.
However, the current "Get Enterprise Users API" could only be called by co-admins.
I also want to be able to call from other than co-admin.By the way, "Get Groups API" could be called from other than co-admins by providing the filter.
I think there is a contradiction in this specification.2 votes
