1. access Deny Authority

   The permissions of the parent folder are inherited by the subordinate folder, but I want to be able to add a setting to deny access only to specific users or groups in the subordinate folder. Or I want to be able to set the permission settings so that they are not inherited by subordinates. This is a function that can be realized with existing file servers.

   上位フォルダの権限が下位フォルダへ継承されますが、下位フォルダにおいて、特定のユーザーやグループに対してのみアクセス拒否する設定を追加できるようにしたい。もしくは権限設定を下位に継承しないようにする設定ができるようにしたい。既存のファイルサーバーでは実現できている機能

2. Not able to see all the overdue tasks for all users

   Currently I only can see the overdue tasks assigned to myself and the tasks I sent to others. We would like to see overall overdue tasks for all groups and other users. This overdue report is very important to our business process.

   This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap because there is not enough demand from customers to sort members by in a group.

4. File uploads are extremely slow.

   File uploads are extremely slow. For example, a group of 3 x 20Mb files might take an entire day to upload on a 5mb.s connection. This has happened in the past 3-4 weeks.
   I found the root cause of it. I am in New Zealand and redirected to the Tokyo server, which is very very slow. I verified that this upload path is an issue thus:
   Tried to upload a 20Mb file using browser (via Tokyo) - 2 hrs later the file was at 20% upload. Cancelled the upload.
   Connected a VPN onto Los Angeles. Uploaded the same file (and others). Uploads completed in less than a minute.
   This performance issue forces me to use a VPN each time I use Box to upload which is burdensome.

   Thanks for your attention on this.

6. Folders to which only managed users can be invited

   【Request】
   Regarding the "Restrict collaboration to within {OrganizationName}" setting in the folder settings,
   I would like the definition of users recognized as users in the organization to be selectable from the following two options
   ・Users who have same domains OR Managed Users (Same as current specifications)
   ・Only Managed Users

   【Current specifications ＆ Issues】
   Currently, for folders with this setting turned on, users can invite others who meet either of the following conditions
   - Managed users of the tenant
   - Users with a Box account with an email address in the registered domain

   As it stands, this specification allows free accounts of registered domains and managed users of other tenants to be invited.
   It is not possible to realize an "internal-only" folder.
   This problem is especially noticeable in cases where group companies use the same domain but want to separate Box tenants.

   This is strongly requested by our customers who are looking to expand their group companies, so please consider this issue.

7. Allow Admins to Recover Deleted Users Directly

   Occasionally, Admins can delete a user (or large group of users) for one reason or another (license re-allocation, deleting users based off of perceived inactivity, etc.). Sometimes these users need to be recovered quickly to give users access to their Box account once again if this was done by mistake. The ultimate goal would be to enable Admins who have the ability to manage users to recover deleted accounts on their own (whether through somewhere in the admin console and/or via the CLI or API) so that product support doesn't need to do so through a support ticket as a manual service request

8. Allow Folder Actions on "the folder of the file that triggered the flow"

   When trying to build dynamic workflows, you currently can work with and get a handle on either:

   • Folders can triggered the flow
   • Files that triggered the flow
   • Folders/Files created/copied from previous stages

   There are workflows, however, where you have a trigger on the file(s) but you want to move that entire folder to progress the flow.

   A "the folder of the file that triggered the flow" handle would be helpful in this scenario to allow you start a workflow, either through a file action or a manual start...assign tasks to that file and then be able to get a handle on this file's parent folder to be able to perform folder actions on it (especially "move" folder). This way you can easily group files together and move them through the workflow....while at the same time set file actions on the original file that triggered the flow.

9. Allow control over Box notification emails

   Currently, notification emails are sent immediately whenever users or groups are granted access to Box content (such as folders, files, or Box Hubs).

   Please provide the ability to control whether these notification emails are sent and when they are sent, helping organizations manage large-scale migrations, organizational changes, and phased rollouts more smoothly.

11. Removed Collaborator Report That Show Affected Folder Path, Folder Owner, & Link To Affected Folder

    Recently, my company ran into an integration bug between Okta and Box, which result in a mass deprovisioning of users account. We were able to reprovision user account fairly quick but there as a mass folder permission lost.

    If the user permission was granted via a group, all permission was successfully restored. However, if the permission was granted individually, that permission was lost. Ticket was open with Box support to request for assistance with folder permission restore but they could not help.

    So the next best thing was try to run "User Activity" report on "Removed Collaborator" on the service account that was use for Okta and Box, to see which user account and folder was affected. Sadly the report only show just the affected folder name and the affected user. This is an problem, since we ran into the following issues:

    1. There are multiple folders with the same name. Without the folder path or folder owner, it hard to confirm which folder was the right one.
    2. If the service account does not have permission to the folder, we can't search for the folder.
    3. We have no way of knowing if the folder was internal or external.
    4. We have no folder owner name, so we can't reach out to the folder owner to request for assistance with re-granting the permission.

    So our second attempt to reach out to Box support was to request for a report that can provide us with the affected folder path and folder owner, but we were told there is not a way to pull that information.

    This really ***** us over, as we have no mean to actively assist user with getting their permission restore. What we need in this case is a undo button to restore all the permission in the past 24 hours. But that asking for too much, so I just like to get a updated report for Removed Collaborator that show the following information:

    -Date & Time
    -Affected User Name
    -Affected User Email
    -Affected Folder Name
    -Affected Folder Path
    -If the affected folder is internal or external to the company
    -Details (Permission that was removed)
    -Affected Folder Owner
    -Affected Folder Owner Email
    -Link To The Affected Folder (so I don't have to spend day searching for it)

    I am sure my company is not the first or the last to run into 3rd part integration issue that could result in mass folder permission lost. Any new method for mass permission restore or new report that can assist in restoring user permission would be greatly appreciated.

13. Box CLI Email Notifications and Folder Settings

    We would like to enable upload notifications for select folders, on particular users or groups.

    Currently users need to go into each folder's settings to then check the box for upload notifications, or they can select upload notifications in their user settings.

    The first option is very time consuming, we have about 140 folders that we would like to target and it is hard to force employee's to complete this.
    The 2nd option removes the importance of notifications if users are being notified for everything.

    It would be great to have a bulk option to enable notifications or manage other folder settings for users.
    Would it be possible to use the Box CLI to target Folder IDs, User/Group IDs, then have the various folder options to flag or unflag. This would be a huge time saver.

14. Tables - Allow Merging Cells in Box Note Tables

    A standard function when working with tables (in Excel and other tools) is a basic 'merge cells' feature that allows multiple cells (whether in a row or column) to be merged into one to function more as a grouping of multiple rows/columns. Box Notes don't currently support merging table cells.

    REQUEST: Support merging 2 or more cells in a row/column within a Box Note.

15. Improve the de-provisioning process in Box

    Improve the de-provisioning process in Box so that old content isn't stored when it's not needed, and if it is needed, the right people are taking over ownership of the content. Workflow should look something like this: -User leaves company and is removed from AD group or marked somehow as "removed" -Collaborators on their shared folders are notified that they should take ownership of the folders, if the content is still needed. For example "you have 30 days to take ownership of X folder." -When they click to take ownership, the folder/file is now owned by them and other collaborators remain intact. -If no response, two more warnings are sent to users at the 15 days left mark and the 7 days left mark (their managers are also informed via notifications). -If no users claim the folder, it is deleted along with the account.

    Because Watermarking is built as an enterprise-wide feature, we don’t currently plan to limit access to it to only certain users as this would be antithetical to how we do enterprise features as a whole in the product.

    If we decide to add the ability to limit folder settings to certain levels of users, then I could see us changing watermarking to fit that pattern.

17. Support Copilot Integration with Multiple Box Environments under a Single Microsoft Tenant

    Many enterprises operate under a structure where a single Microsoft tenant is shared, while Box environments are separated by legal entity.
    With the current limitation that Copilot × Box integration is restricted to a 1:1 relationship, it is difficult to achieve both group-wide Copilot adoption and proper information governance.
    Enabling secure integration with multiple Box environments while maintaining a single Microsoft tenant would unlock significant value, including group-wide AI utilization, greater flexibility for M&A and organizational restructuring, and the avoidance of unnecessary Box environment consolidation or Microsoft tenant separation.

    Be able to set your personal notifications to also include someone else.

    Many of our users work in teams, so it would be good to allow a user the ability to specify if another BOX user or group should receive the altered notifications that they receive.

    This is addressed in the recent Team Leads / Group Admin release.

20. Change Unique Identifier to Something other than Email Address

    This is the grouping for the common request for Box to use a unique identifier other than email address for managed users.

    Key pain point with the fact that Box uses email address as the unique identifier: Email addresses change often in large companies, thus requiring these companies to use custom API scripting to keep emails in Box updated based on changes in AD.

    This unique identifier (whether a mapped value from the customer's user store, aka AD, or the Box unique user ID) should also be the identifier used when users authenticate to Box using SSO (via SAML).

    This feature request isn’t currently planned on the roadmap, but we are considering the notion of user attributes that can be placed on a user and then used for better context while sharing / collaborating and searching in the Admin Console.

    Please provide more use cases in the comments to help us understand the problem better.
