  1. Deleted accounts: Retrieve and restore any previous collaboration relationships

    Allow for a Point in Time recovery.

    We inadvertently de-provisioned a group of users and then re-provisioned them. Upon re-provisioning, we want Box to be able to restore the user collaboration points to how they existed prior.

    not planned  ·  dfisher responded

    This is not currently planned as it is an edge case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  2. Add ability to search for inactive users

    This way, we can delete that group more easily.

  3. More detailed error handling with sync errors

    We have a user who is on Box Drive that has had several sync errors come up on his Box Drive client over the last week, but when he clicks on the info icon next to the s"9 items with sync errors message" it just gives them a generic error message with no details about which files can't be synced or how long they haven't been synced. I don't know if there's an existing solution for this, but thought I'd mention it here.

  4. Visually denote already shared folders as in Shared Folders interface for Group Admins.

    When adding folders to groups in new interface, a list of all folders is shown including folders that have already been added. This is confusing and can cause additional workflow, having to go back and forth to see what has and hasn't been added.

    not planned  ·  katiele responded

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We are currently focusing on improving the experience to manage users before we add enhancements to the group management process.

  5. Additional Device Trust granularity

    We would like to do an ownership check (domain or cert presence) for certain groups of users but not ALL users. We would like variability by user/group: e.g. users to touch tax documents must work on company-owned device, while most employees must have non-ownership checks (like disk encryption).

  6. Password Protected Folders

    Would love to be able to password protect certain folders within an unprotected folder. Since permissions "waterfall", I am unable to have a private folder within a public one. After reading the forums, this would be a very useful and widely used feature for businesses who want to limit access to folders to certain groups.

  7. Function to disable the display of the login authentication screen for Box for Microsoft Office co-editing features on a per-user basis.

    The following is a request regarding the seamless login feature.
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355

    To avoid displaying the login authentication screen, we understand that enabling the co-editing feature for only certain users in the tenant settings will resolve the issue.
    However, if the number of users enabling or disabling the co-editing feature increases, managing user and group additions or removals through tenant settings each time becomes extremely cumbersome and impractical.
    Implementing this feature enables end users to handle issues immediately on their own, reducing the burden on administrators.

    下記シームレスログイン機能に関する要望です。
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/44224534926355

    ログイン認証画面を表示させないためには、テナント設定で一部のユーザーにのみ共同編集機能を有効にすれば回避できると認識しています。
    但し、共同編集機能を有効/無効にするユーザーが増えたりした場合に都度テナント設定からの制限ではユーザーやグループの出し入れ等の操作が非常に手間となり現実的ではありません。
    本機能を実装することでエンドユーザー自身で即時に対応できるようになり管理者の負担を減らすことができます。

  8. Wrap or hover long owner's name to display whole name

    Longer file or Owner names do not display the whole name in the UI
    For example Users&Groups > Groups > "Group name" > Edit users.
    If owners name like BoxTestAccount(Bostestacconut+new@box.com),
    It shows BoxTestAccount(Boxtestaccount@box...
    if similar name exists, the user cannot distinct the name.

  9. 【Box Relay】About approval rejection

    Relayにて承認依頼を拒否した場合、理由を記載できるようコメント欄を追加してほしい
    現状、理由を記載する箇所がないため別途コメントのメンションやメールにて連絡する必要があり二度手間となっているため

    If Relay rejects an approval request, please add a comment field to write the reason.
    Currently, there is no place to write the reason, so you have to contact us via a separate comment mention or email, which is a hassle.

  10. New type of user - Managed External User

    Box users need a way to: authenticate and manage external users + invite them to collaborate in a more efficient manner, similar to how it is done with managed users via groups.

  11. Pause and Resume Uploads or downloads to or from Box

    The ability to Pause Downloads + Uploads so that Resource intensive tasks on other software can be carried out on a single computer/device without being slowed down by Box Transferring large amounts of data to/from the device to cloud. The ability to resume Downloads + Uploads after resource intensive tasks are completed.

    Not everyone/every company has the budget to have expensive "workhorse" computers or Gigabit internet (not to mention a lot of places dont even have gigabit internet. (Im lucky enough to have access to both where I work and I STILL run into issues from time to time)

  13. Re-usable recipient groups on Templates

    It would be great to have a Template feature in Box Sign where we can set groups of people as signatories.
    Now we can only upload a document and save it as a template to send out multiple times to different recipients for signature.
    However a lot of industries (e.g. movie/filmmaking) would rather send same type of documents (e.g. petty cash form / contract / purchase order / time sheets / etc.) to the same group of people for signing.
    For that purpose it would be way easier to upload the specific files, click a template and the previously…

  14. Send Relay notification to internal distribution list

    In relay, we want to send a notification to a distribution list (internal), but right now you can only send to managed users or external users that have been previously invited to a folder. We have a use case where we want to trigger a notification to an entire group, they have access to the folder, but we don’t want to rely on individual notifications for this, we want them to get a forced notification. They are in a group, but groups in box aren’t mail enabled.

    So either the ability to send to a distribution list……

  17. Searching for names with & does not work

    Hi, we have a group called M&A - you cannot actually share any folders or files with this group through the traditional methods because searching for M M& or M&A does not produce the group on box.com

  18. I would like the ability to lock down the sharing permissions of certain folders.

    The other day, a user “mistakenly” deleted the “All” group from the sharing permissions of our main folder share called “Clients”.

  19. Ability to block or hide certain Groups from all other users when selecting names or groups to share content

    For example, Group A is Executives only so Admin wouldn't want another non-exec user to see that Group name when selecting collaborators.

    Not a high priority issue, but one use case is for HIPPA bound groups.

    Thank you for this suggestion. This is a resource-intensive feature which is not prioritized for our current roadmap.

  20. Allow exceptions for users/groups when setting shared link expiration at org level

    We have auto-expiry and prevent users from modifying the expiration. We want to allow exceptions to either user/group/specific folder so we could have permanent links for storing files for web or other projects.
