  1. Disable expiration period change for public shared links only

    Currently it is possible to set up automatic expiration period for public shared links in Admin Console, which is an important security feature. However, users can extend the expiration period in Shared Link Settings. It would be more secure to disable expiration period extension for public shared links by users, while allowing them to change expiration periods for other types of shared links (company or collaborators only)

  2. I want to create custom report for approval pending and files which was rejected on particular folders

  3. Folder path and Page numbers missing from Bin (Box Admin)

    Box Admins will regularly view Box accounts of a user, and the user's Bin. Without the Folder Path displayed (which should be SORTABLE and FILTER on), it is difficult to isolate content that was deleted from a specific location.

    Instead it is necessary to run a Box Report of a folder, which does include the folder path, then sort the Bin by Updated column, scroll through multiple pages to find content before restoring (hopefully) the correct one(s)

    The Bin should display the folder path for each row (where blank Details column is), and be able to SORT that column and…

  4. User access provisioning

    Currently when provisioning folder access for users, the console looks messy with every item listed and 'none' shown next to the granted access - it would be more helpful to only show what they have access to and their level of access. Adding access to a new folder that exists could be done with a dropdown search box

  6. Direct Download Option from Right-Click Context Menu

    Currently, when using the Box Drive on Mac Finder or Windows Explorer "right-click > Share > Copy shared link" only gives you the option for a share link that open to the web-browser preview page.

    This is obviously not the preferred method for sharing files to people who need to download assets quickly.

    Just give the option for "Copy shared link" and "Copy Direct Download link" in the context menu.

    Thank you!

  8. Provide easier ways to extend collaboration expiration

    Similar to the existing post below but the request is a bit different.
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36108211-bulk-extend-collaboration-shared-link-expiration

    We have folders where there are over 100 collaborators to extend on a certain cadence and need to click the "clock" button over 100 times, which obviously is so painful. We would like to have the ability to click "checkbox" to select collaborators to extend and update them in one shot.

  9. Improvement request-About private channel messages in box for Microsoft Teams

    We become indebted to.
    When I try to add the box app in a private channel on box for Microsoft Teams, I get the message "Administrator configuration required".
    If you set it, the user will think that you can use it, so please take measures such as changing the message.

    お世話になっております。
    box for Microsoft Teamsでプライベートチャネルでboxアプリを追加しようとすると、「管理者による設定が必要です」と表示されメッセージが表示されます。
    設定すれば、利用できるとユーザーは思ってしまうため、メッセージの変更など対応をお願いします。

    よろしくお願いします。

  10. Folder ownership transfer warning message

    When transferring ownership of folders, there is no warning message that it will take some time, and no warning that it will make those folders/files inoperable until every folder has been successfully transfered to a new user.

    Can we please add a warning that ownership changes to folders will sometimes take days depending on the file size, and that none of the files/folders can be used until the ownership transfer is complete? Not having this warning caused 4 days of downtime for my company.

  11. Save Signed Box Sign documents back to Salesforce.com Files object

    Box Sign has an integration for Salesforce.com but it really does not save much real effort because the integration is not complete. Box Sign really needs to integrate with Salesforce's Files object as Salesforce.com is the system of record and therefore needs the file Signed version of documents.

    In an ideal world, Box would be able to both pull documents from the Files object and save the Signed Document back to the Files object in Salesforce.com (but while you are at it, you might as well make it configurable to Documents, Files, or other file repositories in Salesforce). Otherwise the…

  12. Request to improve the operation when exporting [Access Stats] for non-administrators in the "Closed Folder" environment.

    In the "Closed Folder" environment, an error occurs when exporting (*1) [Access Stats] as a user other than the administrator.
    In a "Closed Folder" environment, an error occurs when exporting activities as a non-administrator user.
    Please make it possible to select a path other than root level folders for the export destination, or hide the export button except for administrators.

    *1:Select the file and click "See Details". Click the "↓" button at the right end of "Activity" and click "Create".

  13. Stop or modify instant suspension of new user email addresses on account setup, or give admins access to your blocklist

    When a new user account is set up, a confirmation email is automatically sent to the login address for the account. Currently, if this message is bounced, the user's email address is immediately placed on your block list.

    So - I create a new staff email account in 365, then use that email address to set up a Box account. Box immediately sends a confirmation email message - but 365 is having a slow day and the gateway hasn't yet caught up with accepting messages for that address. The confirmation message is bounced, and the user's email address is immediately…

  14. Lock folder order in All Files

    Prologis would like to be able to create a static folder view in All Files. Defaulting to most recently viewed makes it difficult to find things. It would also be helpful if the file names were larger.

  15. Bulk add users approval task

    Prologis uses approval tasks on a monthly basis to approve a specific dataset - 20 people need to approve it each month. They would like to have the ability to search people more easily when creating a new approval task, or duplicate the group of approvers more easily. It would be helpful if it was easier to add approvers in bulk - right now, when adding users in bulk, if the first signer approves, they can approve on behalf of the entire group.

  16. To retain Tasks even after "task-related user" is permanently deleted

    Currently, if a user is deleted, all of his/her related tasks will be deleted after the user is permanently deleted. Although task activities like approval and completion are recored in the admin reporting, it is not user-friendly and is unintuitive.

  17. Ability to rearrange the image files displayed on Box Drive and Box Web

    For image files (photos), such as jpg and png files, there is a Date taken item in the "Properties".
    On Box Drive and Box Web, We wants to organize the photos by descending or ascending order based on the Date taken.
    However, since [Box Drive] and [Box Web] do not have the Date taken attribute, files cannot be organized by the date and time they were taken.
    Thus, we would like you to add the Date taken attribute.

  18. URL to open folder or file by full English path name.

    Box allows me to create named folders and files. Box SHOULD allow me to use a URL to get there? The File ID is visually useless. Box should store the English name as an alias to the ID -- and allow this feature. I am astonished this wasn't a base product feature. I'm also astonished you haven't added it as it's clear in the feedback from others it's WANTED. Shame on Box for not providing this feature.

    In the meantime, I'll be forced to find another cloud-based file storage solution.

  19. Comments feature in Box Sign

    It would be great for recipients of signature requests to be able to comment on the document. A lot of the times even though the documents are signed for final review and signature, recipients tend to have questions or comments on relevant sections of the document. It would be great to add this in. It's easier than having the recipient send an email with their questions separate from the request email.

  20. Create a Box Sign add-in for Outlook (Integration)

    It would be great if we could use Box Sign within the outlook or other email platforms like one would be able to use docusign or adobe sign. It would allow people to sign documents more easily rather than having to navigate to a specific file in box to sign. It would also make signature requests a lot easier if we can do it within an email in outlook.
