  2. Support for .IMA files in Box DICOM Viewer

    I have a few DICOM files with the Siemens IMA extension. These files are fully compatible, just carry a different extension. In all other software they can be imported just like .dcm files. On Box I can even change the extension from .ima to .dcm and use it in the Box DICOM Viewer. Please enable support for this (and possibly other?) file extension.

  3. Download all versions of a single file at once

    If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.

    For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

  4. Box Drive Should Show Files With Illegal Filenames or Characters

    We need Box Drive to be able to point to the offending error in Windows Explorer or Finder. Click on the offending file, folder is opened and file is selected in Windows Explorer or Finder in order to fix.

    This is not something that we have on the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Notifications were suppressed for these items and we will be investigating different ways to make problem items in general more discoverable.

  5. Server side un-zipping of files

    Some teams share very large (multi-GB) zip files and a separate team members need to see the contents of these zips.

    Having the full team wait for Box Edit Open with Compressed (zip file) option or using Box Sync are our only workarounds today and not time or network efficient for users.

  6. Add the ITEM ID to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder) in order to join to Files and Folder report on ID

    Add the item id to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder). This would allow the User Activity events to be joined to the Files and Folders report data in order to report on activity against files and folders. An example report would be a list of all activity (Downloads, Previews, etc...) for a specific Box account. Currently the User Activity report only shows the activity that a specific user has done, but not what activities have been done against the content owned by a specific user. This would allow for a wide range of…

  7. Allow 'show folder' button when multiple items are moved/copied

    Multiple items are always moved/copied to the same location, therefore a user should be able to navigate to where those items were moved as you can with single file moves/copies.

  10. Enable Box DICOM Proxy to send to multiple pre-configured folders

    Currently, the Box DICOM Proxy can only send files to 1 specified folder and they are organized dynamically based on the DICOM metadata. If an admin wants to send files to multiple folders based on their own routing logic independent of the DICOM metadata, they need to install multiple instances of the Proxy. This is not scalable when multiple folders are at play.

    The ask is to enhance the proxy to support multiple destinations per installation of the proxy. Each destination would point to a pre-defined folder created by the admin.

  11. ABILITY TO CLOSE THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR ON FILES!!!!!!

    GET RID OF THE ACTIVTY BOX ON FILES.

    OF OUR ~10,000 FILES ONLY 6 HAVE COMMENTS, SO WHY SHOULD WE ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE IT OPEN.

    WHEN USING TWO OPEN WINDOWS SIDE BY SIDE, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE BOX BECAUSE HALF OF THAT WINDO W IS OVERTAKEN BY THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR.

    YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT, WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

  12. Please separate the colors of the icons displayed in folders and files.

    Due to the release of Box Shield's new classification indicators, the colors of the "lock icon" and "shared link icon" displayed on folders and files are all grayed out.
    In the past, the "lock icon" was red, and the "shared link icon" was blue, etc., making it easy for users to see and use.

    We believe this is a far cry from Box's goal of accessibility, which is "ease of use for all users."
    In order to provide an easy-to-use environment for all users, please restore the icon colors to the previous specifications or color code them.

    I’d take a random playback function too, but this is secondary for me.

  14. Export owned and collaborated files & folder tree by user

  15. Show only files that are not in the "Collections".

    There are so many files on "All files". In such a situation, it is very useful to be able to show only the files that are not in the "Collection".

  17. Migration of files larger than 10MB from Google Drive

    As it stands, we are unable to migrate content from Google Drive due with there being a HARD limit of 10MB as the max file size.
    Google have a workaround which is outlined here - (1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55274737/is-there-any-way-download-bigger-than-10mb-documents-using-google-drive-api#:~:text=1-,This%20is%20answered,-in%20this%20question and here (2) https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/get

    This would mean changing the Shuttle tooling so that Instead of using the Drive API Files:Export method, you can use Files: get (2) with fields = exportLinks.

    The limit on exporting Google files larger than 10MB is imposed by Google. We have reviewed the various available APIs and workarounds, but none of them produced a viable result. They all have other limitations that make them unsuitable for migration.

    We will continue to monitor as Google continues to evolve and adapt its platform, and will look to increase this when or if it becomes viable.

  18. Filter the File and Folder Report

    Filter by: User
    Just folders (no files)
    Just one folder (with its files)
    Folders created in a certain timeframe
    Wants the list of collaborators in that folder

  19. Possibility to share with non-Box users annotated files including the annotations.

    Annotating files, especially pdfs, inside Box would be much more useful to me if I could share the annotated file, including the annotations, with non-Box users. A setting on the shared link dialog like "Allow persons with the link to view annotations" would be a great enhancement.
    Thanks

  20. Independent back-up of files in box

    In allot of professions, regulatory requirements require for us to have an independent back up of the files. With today's increased ransomware where they freeze your files, having an independent back-up is a great idea. I propose for Box to have all the files backed-up to a third location where its stored for access if needed. What happens if someone deletes a file by mistake or get all the files deleted. Having a site as back up will be a great idea. Filed could be backed up once a week. And I can tell you I will pay…
