  2. The ability to resize or delete the astronomical images on the Relay notifications.

    In its current state, the astronomical image is so large that it is difficult to see the text underneath.
    Since there is no need to display images, we are requesting the implementation of this function.

    現在の状態では天体画像が大きいことで下にある本文の確認がしづらいです。
    画像を表示させる必要性もないため機能の実現を求めます。

  3. 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…

  4. Ability to Name Scheduled Reports

    Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the content is…

  5. Ability to set "Updated" as default in search results

    Search results can be sorted by "relevance" or "Updated".
    However, the default is "Relevance".
    Since "Updated" is used more frequently than "Relevance", please implement the ability to specify the default on the user side or in the tenant settings.

    検索結果は、「関連度順」または「更新日」に並び替えることが可能です。
    しかし、デフォルトは「関連度順」になっています。
    「関連度順」よりも「更新日」を頻繁に利用するため、ユーザー側やテナント設定でデフォルトを指定できる機能を実装してください。

  6. 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。

  7. Sort metadata templates / メタデータテンプレートの並び替え

    Metadata templates are arranged in ascending order based on "the template key".
    "The template key" often do not match with custom templates written in Japanese, so this specification is inconvenient for users looking for these.

    We would like the administrator to be able to freely change the display order in the Admin Console.

    (IN JAPANESE)
    現在メタデータテンプレートは、テンプレートキーに基づいた昇順で並ぶ仕様となっています。
    日本語のカスタムテンプレートとそれに紐づくテンプレートキーは、名称が一致しないためユーザーがテンプレートを探す際に不便です。
    管理者が自由に表示順を変更できるようにしてください。

  8. I would like you to implement a function that allows you to obtain information from login information when using "Box Relay".

    Currently, you can use metadata when renaming files using Box Relay.
    Similarly, I would like to be able to use the signed-in user's My Profile information as the value of "Available Variables".
    (email address, name, company name, etc.)
    Being able to use the information of the signed-in user allows you to obtain reliable information, which I think will improve convenience in various ways.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    【In Japanese】
    <タイトル>
    「Box Relay」使用時に、ログイン情報から情報を取得できる機能を実装して欲しい。
    <本文>
    現在「Box Relay」を使用して、ファイル名のリネームを行う際に、メタデータを使用する事ができます。
    同じ様に、「利用可能な変数」の値として、サインインしているユーザーのマイプロフィール情報を使用できる様にして頂きたいです。
    (メールアドレス、氏名、会社名、等々…)
    サインインしているユーザーの情報を使える事は、確実な情報を取得する事ができ、様々な点で利便性が上がると思います。
    ご検討の程よろしくお願い申し上げます。

  9. Support for total_count (Box Metadata Query API)

    For the Box search API, return of queried total_count results is documented and supported.

  12. 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.

  13. Folder tree order up side down when move/copy

    In folder view on Web Application, upper folder tree view is shown when working with deep folders.(left corner)
    The display order of this tree view and the tree view displayed when you "move/copy" a file are up side down.
    (where[...]mouse hober over)
    (Folder hierarchy ascending/descending order)
    So, when moving files, there is a possibility of causing a mistake in the destination.

    Normal folder view: 1st>2nd>3rd>4th>5th

    View on Move/Copy: 5th>4th>3rd>2nd>1st

    It's happy to be if it is a same display order.

    Most of users remain on Box Drive/explorer, for a transformation, we would like to recommend Box web application for users.…

  14. Upload size maximum of Mobile

    When uploading files from the mobile app, the maximum upload limit is 15 GB, regardless of the plan.
    We would like this limit to be the same as the upload limit of the plan we have purchased.

    <モバイルアプリのアップロード上限>
    モバイルアプリからのファイルアップロードする場合、プランに関わらずアップロード可能な上限は15GBまでとなっています。
    この上限を購入しているプランのアップロード上限と同じにしてほしいです。

  16. Disable new drag and drop clouds security feature

    The new drag and drop cloud game to view a file is horrible. The reason we went with BOX was to present our materials professionally with a visually attractive preview. We can't send files with a drag and drop security game to our clients. Please provide an option to disable that.

  17. Remaining files that are no longer needed when using templates

    When creating a signature request from "Use Template", a file with a () at the end of the file name is created, and furthermore, when using the "Replace" function, the file remains in the folder.

    The remaining files should be deleted when no longer needed.

    「テンプレートを使用」から署名リクエストを作成する際に、ファイル名の後端に()のついたファイルができ、さらに「置き換え」機能を使うとそのファイルがフォルダに残ってしまう。

    不要となった残ファイルは削除されることが望ましい。

  18. Set the number of invitation reminder emails to be sent.

    When a managed user invites an external user, I would like a feature that allows them to set the number of reminder emails to be sent, such as once a day, once every three days, once a week, etc.
    This prevents random and careless reminder emails from being sent repeatedly to users of other companies.

    (日本語)
    <送信する招待リマインダーメールの数を設定します>
    管理対象ユーザーが社外ユーザーに招待した際に、リマインドメールを1日に1回、3日に1回、1週間に1回など、送信回数を設定できる機能がほしいです。
    これによりランダムかつ不用意に何度も送信されるリマインドメールが他社のユーザーに送信されることを防ぐことができます。

  19. 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…

    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
