  1. The ability to change the format of metadata templates once set

    The format of a metadata template cannot be changed after it has been set.
    In this case, once a numerical value has been set for the format, only numerical values are available afterwards. This is less convenient and makes information collection more difficult.
    If new metadata is added, I have to reconfigure non-target items as well, and since metadata is deployed company-wide, the number of target files is too large and the workload is too high.
    Also, to set it via API I have to create a programme, which increases the number of API calls and increases costs.
    Therefore, I…

  2. Increase Metadata query scale limits

    Increase the character, results, and other scale limits for metadata and metadata query search APIs. The documentation indicates additional volumes of data and is inconsistent. In order to provide solutions similar to legacy ECM, metadata query should be able to return additional results sets.

  3. Request for improvement of behavior when posting a shared link of a Box folder in a Teams channel or chat

    When you post a Box shared link in a Teams channel or chat, you'll see a Grant Access card with the option to grant users additional permissions if the following conditions are true:

     condition:If there are channel members or chat members who do not have access permissions to the shared folder or file.
          *This includes channel members and chat members who are invited as a group but not directly invited as users.

    The support article states that when you grant access, the card will update and a content card with file details will be displayed.
    However, when you post a…

  4. back up

    Allow Box to automate back up to either a hard drive or 3rd party location automatically, give the recent concerns about CrowdStrike crash and how that stopped so many workdays, we want to protect ourselves if that were to ever happen in Box!

  5. Lengthen Limit of Characters Shown when Collaborating with Groups

    Box currently truncates group names that are longer than 50 characters when collaborating on a file/folder. Unfortunately, when there are several groups that begin with the same 50 characters, it is difficult to determine which group is which (The only way is in the fly-over it will show the full name).

    The limit for Active Directory is 63 characters. Box should at least show this number of characters on group names when sharing.

  6. Integrate Box for Microsoft Teams with multiple Microsoft tenants

    The Box for Microsoft Teams integration currently requires a 1 to 1 mapping with a Microsoft tenant. We would like the ability to enable this integration across multiple tenants while maintaining a single Box EID.

  8. Add "role" field to user Sign profile for Box Sign GxP

    Role is an important component of a signing event in a GxP context. We would like to see a "role" item that is associated with each user that is added to the signature block when a document is signed and is then surfaced in the signing log.

  9. 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…

  10. Add toggling of comment and annotation creation

    Users want the ability to highlight text and copy-to-clipboard while in Preview mode.
    Currently, clicking and dragging results in entering comment-generation mode.
    The only workarounds:
    1. Enter editing mode (but this may not be possible with all roles, and may risk making unintended changes)
    2. View the document full-screen (this is not intuitive).

    Solution: add a one-click toggle, perhaps on the comment/annotation floating panel, that enables click-and-drag commenting OR disables it so highlight-and-copy can be used.

    This also could be implemented in such a way as to fulfill the following request

  12. Replace the Last Login on the User Details report with Last Activity

    Replace the Last Login on the User Details report with Last Activity. It is very misleading to have Last Login, most people will assume this means if the last login was over a year ago, they aren't active.

  13. Having AI review multiple documents

    It would be really great if you could do requests that span over multiple documents, including types varying types of documents in one file (doc and jpg, etc). For example, think about prompts such as “Compare the employee position description in document one to the action items in document two and give me ideas on relevant training and performance indicators.”

  14. Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI

    The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
    It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
    We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
    Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
    Please improve performance.

    「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」

    Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
    操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
    Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000~2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
    上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
    性能改善をお願いします。

  15. Restrict Box Sign destinations by domain.

    Request:
    We would like to see the Box administrator add the ability to restrict Box Sign destinations by domain.

    Background:
    Currently, it is possible to restrict Box Sign itself at the user level, but not the destination.
    While we would like to allow users to use the Box Sign functionality itself, there is a risk that a user's misuse or a single employee's decision could result in a contract with a company without the company's approval.
    Therefore, we would like to see the ability to restrict at the domain level so that only companies authorized by the company (legal department…

  17. Ability to make an account READ-ONLY which includes Download restriction

    For security purposes, we need to set accounts to READ-ONLY mode. Currently, Box offers four account status options: Active, Inactive, cannotdeleteedit, and cannotdeleteedit_upload.
    Unfortunately, none of these statuses allow for a true read-only setting. The latter two statuses still permit downloading, which poses a risk of data exfiltration from Box. The Inactive status is also not suitable, as it prevents all collaborators from accessing shared content. We request the creation of a READ-ONLY status to address this need.

  19. Automatic Data Move without an assigment

    We have created a relay and need a use case where a file, after being uploaded to a specific folder, is automatically moved to another folder. Currently, the relay is only possible when the starter confirms an assignment; we need this without an assignment. The file should be moved after a defined time.

    Details:

    Initial Inquiry: We asked if a relay could be set up to move files automatically after upload without requiring an assignment.
    Box Support Response: Suggested using “A Scheduled Event” as a trigger.
    Clarification: We clarified that the trigger must be the file upload, with the action…

  20. Allows the report to see the classification labels that have been applied in the past

    In the User Activity Report, when a classification label is changed, it is logged. However, it does not record from which label was changed to which label..
    One user currently sets the privilege to edit classification labels to editors (general employees). However, the more users with editing privileges, the greater the security risk. The only way to avoid this risk is to limit the scope of editing privileges to the owner or co-owner (superior). In that case, it would be too inconvenient, since it would be necessary to apply to the superior for a change in the classification label.
    By…
