  1. Email-to-folder Security Concern - Need Visibility

    Need a report based on email-to-folder entries. Our cyber-security platform recently flagged a change in auto-forwarding to a Box email address (one of those cryptic folder addresses), but I cannot find the folder that contains the feature turned on. The User Activity Report has a column, "Details" that shows "Service: Email Folder," but I don't see our suspect folder listed. Maybe there have been no emails going there yet- but this is a security concern that needs clarification. Should be an easy report to build, the records exist in your database. Thanks.

  2. Salesforce: Turn off collaboration emails

  3. Box Shield leverage DLP auto classification to trigger an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier)

    Box Shield leverage DLP auto classification to trigger an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier).

    Today, configuring an Ethical Wall (aka Information Barrier) is all manual, and these should be able to be triggered by Box Smart Access (aka DLP) the same way that external collaboration can be automatically turned off for Box Smart Access.

    E.g. a document says "Secret Project XYZ," then by default only management can access files that contain this phrase.

    E.g. a document has bank account numbers on it, then by default only finance can access it.

    E.g. a document has social security numbers on it, then…

  4. If I move a file, let me leave a hint to the new location in the original folder

    When a shared file or folder is renamed and/or moved to a different folder, retain a hint in its original location that it's been moved so that "Search in folder" can helpfully inform that the file/folder has been moved or renamed, and provide a link to the new location. The user does not need to see the current name of the file, or its new location. When they follow the link, they access the file/folder according to how it's shared at its new location.

    An expandable "Recently moved" area in each folder could provide a compact list of files and…

  6. Ability to edit file request

    I created a file request with 3 different file request upload boxes (videos, images, quotes), but didn't know that users MUST upload something into the first box or they would get an error. It would be VERY helpful to either be able to edit a file request (so I can change it to just one upload box) or allow people to upload into ANY of the file request boxes.

    □ I want to be able to increase and customize the definition of shared links

    What you want to achieve
    ・I want to be able to set the definition of shared links by the administrator.
    ・ I want to be able to specify whether or not to access the link by the domain of the email address.
    ・I want to set a shared link for the created group.

    As a business impact, in the case of school use, all faculty members and all students can see it in the "company user" of the shared link.
    In some cases, students may…

  8. Display warning if a document is open

    Display a warning similar to read-only if another team member has a file open. Currently this is not possible without code installed at the individual PC level and there is no solution with MAC (just confirmed with support). The conflicting versions can be frustrating for teams and the tiny lock icon is just not a large enough warning when opening from box drive.

    For Office files stored in Box, we are enabling the capability coauthor in real-time with collaborators. This will eliminate issues that arise when creating conflict copies. For other files types that do not support coauthoring, we do not have a feature planned on our roadmap, to notify users when the file is locked outside of the lock icon that is displayed on the file in the Explorer/Finder view. 

    We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  9. Ability to export "Direct Links" from box in reports

    We have the ability to export "Shared links" but would like the ability to also export "Directly Links" as well.

    We use box to host 6k plus folders and files. Inside those are some PNG files that , when direct links are on can open up directly to the PNG file instead of the traditional view with the box logo on the top left. This helps us post product in our website with a more professional full screen view that direct links provide.

  12. Box Shield - Get notified about a classified document if it gets placed in a folder with unauthorized parties

    Box Shield get notified about a classified document if it gets placed in a folder with unauthorized parties (e.g. internal only doc gets placed in external folder… today, an external person can’t open the document, but it would be good to get notified that we need to put it back in the correct place).

  16. Ability for folder co-owners to recieve additional collaboration notifications

    In Box, when a collaborator invites another collaborator, the owner of the folder will be notified by email that the collaborator has been added. I would like you to add the ability to send this notification to co-owners as well. Folders are often not managed by the owner alone, and co-owners need to get as much information as the folder owner.

  17. Default email notification for a folder

    Set a default notification setting for a folder (i.e. Every collaborator gets a notification email when a new file is uploaded), until the individual wants to change that and override it. This would be helpful in the case where we want to utilize Box to share files with external clients and avoid sending a separate email to them to let them know that we've uploaded a new file. It would be a hassle (and maybe not likely to happen) to rely on external clients to change their own personal notification settings.

  19. Box to remember defaults when viewing a Box note

    Currently every time I open any Box note, I have to click the button to show/hide the file location to hide it (avoid unnecessarily sharing details of Box notes when screen sharing) and also the "extra wide" view option to better use my screen real estate.

    I'd like Box to remember these settings as over the days, weeks and months of use, the time used must add up. I like that for the current browser session it remembers the settings, but I am asking for this memory to extend over logins and browser closes.
