  1. Change the seconds to rewind/forward in video preview

    As a movie dubbing translator, I need a functionality to rewind/forward 3 seconds. Currently only 5/10 seconds rewind/forward functionality is provided. Since translation for dubbing transcript requires precise timing, we rewind countless times. 5 seconds rewind is too long for a line. It may sound small, but it makes difference to translate hours of movies.

  2. Ability for users with viewer privileges to open files in desktop applications

    In BoxWeb, users with viewer privileges have the "Open" button grayed out and cannot deploy files on the desktop.
    However, BoxDrive allows users to open Office files as "read-only" even if they are viewers.

    With BoxDrive, when a file with viewer privileges is opened, it is extracted in the Office application, but with BoxWeb, if you want to view the file using the Office application, you need to download the file, which is time-consuming and cumbersome.
    I would like to see an improvement so that the file can be extracted directly in Office without downloading.
    I would like to see…

  4. Folder Lock from Web UI

    Currently, Folder Lock can be configured only through API. We would like to be able to configure it on Web UI, e.g. Folder Settings.
    Folder Lock function is very useful, but not used widely. Probably it's because API is not very friendly for some users.

    Because of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.

  5. Relay name folder with file name and/or file metadata

    File request link: User uploads & applies metadata. Relay: Upon upload, create a folder & name based on the filename and/or metadata.

  6. over quota message

    Insert the account name in the over quota message instead of just saying "your account". This would eliminate the confusion when a user is trying to upload to a shared folder that they don't own.

    A section of task,

  8. Assign user group on send a notification recipients field

    Assigned Task>approval Task>Assignee(s)
    Can be assign "any group.

    on the other hand,
    If the task is rejected >Send a notification
    Recipients :can not be Assign group.

    for example, a group members include over 50 person, it hard to assigned one by one. So it happy to assign group on send a notification recipients field.

  9. Regarding the display format of metadata reports

    Is it not possible to set the output format arbitrarily when generating reports from metadata, rather than being limited to JSON format?
    I would also like to have commas inserted into numeric fields of metadata to format them with thousands separators.

    (in Japanese)
    【メタデータレポートの表示形式について】

    メタデータでレポートを出力した際に、JSON形式ではなく表示形式を任意に設定できないのか。
    また、メタデータの数値フィールドの桁数にカンマを入れてほしい。

  10. Workflows with external users

    (Japanese follows)
    When an external user is invited to a folder, you want to execute a workflow that specifies an external user.

    Currently, the notification action allows you to create a workflow that specifies an external user.
    Since it is not possible to create a workflow that specifies an external user in the "folder action" > "Add collaborator" etc., I would like to see the function improved so that external users can be specified in "Add Collaborator" and other actions.

    フォルダに外部ユーザが招待されている状況で、外部ユーザを指定したワークフローを実行したい

    現状、通知アクションでは外部ユーザを指定したワークフローが作成可能。
    フォルダアクション>「コラボレータの追加」などでは、外部ユーザを指定したワークフローが作成できない為、「コラボレータの追加」とそれ以外のアクションでも外部ユーザが指定できるよう機能改善してほしい。

  12. Function to allow selection of all files in a single folder

    ・I would like to resolve a discrepancy between the number of files displayed in the BOX and the actual number of files (data inconsistency).
    ・If the time of resolution is undecided, I would like to be able to select all files in a single folder right away, so that I can check the number of uploads and the actual number of files saved.
     (I would like to be able to check the number of files)

    -in Japanese

    単一フォルダ内でファイルの全選択を可能とする機能

    ・ BOX の表示ファイル件数と実際のファイル数が異なる現象(データの不整合)が発生しているので解消してほしいです。
    ・解消時期が未定であれば、取り急ぎ、アップロード件数と実際の保存件数を確認したいので単一フォルダ内でファイルの全選択ができるようにしてほしいです。

  13. Add additional_info data to all events to include service_id

    Currently, many events do not include the additionalinfo fields, in particular the serviceid field. This makes it difficult for organizations with many applications to track which of these applications are making the calls.

    Here are the events missing this information:

    • UPLOAD
    • ITEM_CREATE
    • ITEM_UPLOAD
    • ITEM_MOVE
    • ITEM_TRASH
    • ITEM_RENAME
    • COLLABORATION_ACCEPT
    • COLLABORATION_EXPIRATION
    • COLLABORATION_INVITE
    • COLLABORATION_REMOVE
    • METADATAINSTANCECREATE
    • METADATAINSTANCEUPDATE
    • METADATATEMPLATECREATE
    • METADATATEMPLATEUPDATE
    • COMMENT_CREATE
    • COMMENT_DELETE
    • METADATAINSTANCEDELETE
    • METADATATEMPLATEDELETE
    • COLLABORATIONROLECHANGE
    • GROUPADDITEM
    • GROUPADDUSER
    • GROUPREMOVEITEM

  14. Online shortcuts won't be visible on BOX (desktop version)

    To let all people in my organization access my folder without affecting anything or editing anything, i decided to make shortcuts for folders.
    i've made a shortcuts for these folders, which are they working properly on BOX online, but it won't be visible on the desktop version of BOX.
    so there is an area of enhancement there to let all the folder even if it's shortcut to be visible or previewed on the offline version of BOX

  16. Box Sign Request API rename file

    When creating a Box Sign request via API, the "name" field only changes the name of the signing log. The actual signed file retains the name of the template being used. We really need the ability to decide the name of the file without a second call to rename it.

  19. Compress to zip format on Box web

    To compress a file or folder on Box, you must download it first.
    I wish there was a way to compress files directly from Box Web without having to download them.

    (in Japanese)
    Box web上でzip形式に圧縮する
    Box上にあるファイルやフォルダを圧縮するためには一度ダウンロードしなくてはいけない。ダウンロードしなくても、Box Web上から直接圧縮できるようにしてほしい。

  20. No Logs for prevent Managed User username change

    The new feature allowing administrators to Prevent managed users from altering their Profile Name information does not generate any log entries when it is activated. Additionally, changes to this setting are not recorded, like when someone deactivates it.
    Please request that any modifications made through the Admin Console be included in the security logs. This must be forgotten in the development plan.
