  1. Closed folder structure

    "My Sign Requests", "My Canvases" and "My Signed Documents" folders are created as private folders technically by Box, without any admin intervention. When using a closed folder structure, these folders can still be used by users to build their own folder structures, as they become the owner of this folder. This counteracts the idea of a closed folder system and represents a massive security gap. Users can then build folder structures and content in our box instance without any control by the admin and share them with external users.

    These technically generated folders must therefore be restricted accordingly, or admins…

  3. Restrict users to only use Sign templates i.e. not be able to send ad-hoc requests

    In banking we want to prevent any user error and they should only send requests through officially created templates

  4. 【Box Relay】About email notifications for approval requests

    Relayにて承認タスクを割り当てた際にメッセージ欄に関連する資料のURLを記載して依頼を行っている
    現状リンクが有効になっておらず、関連資料を確認する手間が発生している
    必要な資料をすぐに確認できるよう通知メールから記載されているURLにアクセスできるように通知メールのURLリンクを有効化してほしい

    When assigning an approval task on Relay, the request is made by writing the URL of the related document in the message field.
    Currently the links are not valid and it takes time to check related materials.
    I would like you to enable the URL link in the notification email so that you can access the URL listed in the notification email so that you can quickly check the necessary materials.

  5. Improvement of the interval at which the version history of BoxNotes is automatically saved

    As the support article below states, "While you're working in Box Notes, we automatically save your changes as a new version roughly every 5 minutes or after 5 minutes of inactivity. "
    However, if you continue to operate, it will only update the "current version" and will not automatically save a new version every 5 minutes.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043692834-Box-Notes%E3%81%AE%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E5%B1%A5%E6%AD%B4%E3%81%AE%E8%BF%BD%E8%B7%A1
    We would like to improve the function so that the version will be updated every 5 minutes even if the operation is being performed continuously.
    In addition, since there is information that would be troublesome if it disappears due to an operation error,…

  6. Automatic compression functionality

    Implement automatic compression of media files (especially videos) or the ability to stream compressed ones only during preview.
    Examples of requested features that are useful for business:
    Ease preview restrictions on media files.
    Eliminate the need to process files (separate or compress files).
    Reduce resources on Box and traffic on the network.

  7. Box for Outlook Add-in fixed to save emails as .msg

    When trying to save an email using the "Save to Box" Add-in, the only option is .eml. This was an old format for outlook express. Once an email is saved in this format, it cannot be opened in Outlook client. There needs to be an option for .msg. Using the File > Save As option allows you to change the extention, but that is extra steps. Outlook web will allow you to open the saved email, but you cannot save it as a .msg after the fact.

    Microsoft is adopting the .eml format, and Box is following their lead. We have just added support for previewing .eml format files as well

  9. Provide option to omit the Signup and Login buttons from shared links (downloladable)

    Please provide the option to omit the Signup and Login buttons for shared links (downloadable).

    The presence of the Signup and Login buttons reduces the value of our Box.com account since the only way to circumvent the Box.com marketing fluff is to copy file from box to our CMS rather than just referencing our Box.com files. The existence of the Signup button both on the preview and pop-up that displays after clicking download results in calls to our support center from visitors to our website. The embed widget unfortunately doesn't improve the issue. Alternatively, if we could embed the Box…

  11. Expand Capabilities for Adding External Collaborators to Relay Tasks/Notifications

    Currently, a user can only add an external collaborator to a Relay Task/Notification if the following are true -

    • The user owns the content
    • The user has added the external collaborator to content
    • The user has to have less than 5,000 external collaborators on items they own

    Many customers have a closed folder structure, where one admin user owns all content, so this admin user would be the only one who can create the workflow with external collaborators added to tasks/notifications. For large organizations especially, this is difficult to administer and maintain, so ideally even users who do not own…

  12. We'd like to limit amount of metadata downloaded by folder GET operation

    We upload one or more files daily to the same folder so the content list of this folder keeps growing. In order to upload first step is to GET the folder by id. This step (https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id/) appears to download metadata of every file in the folder and there's no way to limit it. It ends up being completely unnecessary because preflight check (https://developer.box.com/reference/options-files-content) doesn't need any of it. So, there should be a parameter in folder GET to skip downloading so much metadata.

  13. Large user lists don't load in Box Shuttle and there is no way to filter or narrow scope

    Build an option to filter on specific source user groups or OU's before trying to generate or load the user list.

    Current behavior: Admin account is authenticated and user list is not able to load/populate because there are too many users on the source side.

  14. API- Developer token

    Hi team, what would be great is to get the possibility when we develop an API to have a token valid for more than 60 minutes.
    Sometimes, to validate the principle of a dev, it's needs more than 1h
    maybe an other solution would be to create a private app with small validation as the purpose is an internal specific need.

  15. Save Sorting Preferences

    When using Box in-browser, create a setting to change the default sorting preference. For example, so you can make the default sorting for all folders Name, Ascending. This is not currently an option and means every time you open a folder you need to manually resort it, as the default sorting is always set to Updated, Ascending.

  16. Select user group on BOX Rleay's workflow

    When creating a workflow using BOX Relay, groups cannot be set as recipients in the notification options. When notifying a large number of people, it is time-consuming to enter the address for each person, so it would be nice to be able to set groups.

  18. Automatic Size All Columns to Fit for Box Drive

    It would be great if all columns in the box drive could be automatically expanded so that file names are not cut off. This feature is available in another product that we used.

  19. Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy

    Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

  20. Change the target of "Application Restrictions" (shared link creation / DL, etc.)

    【English】
    If "Restrict to applications" is turned on, all users will not be able to perform operations such as DL, editing, and creating shared links at once.
    We would like to see a change so that the target of "Application Restrictions" (shared link creation / DL, etc.) can be specified.

    【日本語】
    「アプリケーションへの制限」をONにした場合に全てのユーザーはDL・編集・共有リンク作成等の操作がまとめて不可となってしまいます。
    「アプリケーションへの制限」の適用対象(共有リンク作成 / DL等)が指定できるようになるよう変更してほしい。
