Notifications sent on a specific date through Relay
We have files that need to be moved/copied on a specific date. It would be helpful if it were possible to use relay or comment to send a notification that a file needs to be moved or copied when the date is reached.

Shield classification user permissions
Request to make classification application settings specific to the classification. Currently, the setting for who can apply/remove a classification is for all classifications, but there are cases where it would be helpful that a classification to be only applied by owners and other where co-owner, or even editor would be allowed to apply certain classifications.
Examples:
1. A classification tied to a Shield access control rule that only owners can apply or remove
2. A classification tied to a Shield access control rule that owner/co-owners can apply or remove
3. A classification identifying a type of content that owners/co-owner/editors can apply/removeCurrently there is one setting button that affects all classification. This proposal is for a setting option for each classification.

Box Sign capability for Enterprises with restrictive shared link policy
We are not able to initiate a signing request using existing content from our Box instance however, we can by choosing and uploading a file from our file system. Support is telling me that our organization's shared link setting of "Shared links can be accessed by: people in your company and people in this folder only" is causing this behavior and that Box Sign will not work unless we change it to "People with this link" Can the capability to use Box Sign with our current settings be enabled?

"inactive" or "archive" flag maps to less-expensive storage
FEATURE IDEA:
Provide ability to flag/classify files and folders in a way that allows Box to move them to a less-expensive storage offering on the back-end. This can be referred to as an "inactive" or "archive" flag.BENEFITS & BACKGROUND
During the Box Higher Education Community Monthly Open Discussion on January 11th, an idea to submit to Box Pulse was formed, and seemed to have support from all in attendance (25-30 institutions).
Box acknowledges that there is a growing concern around constantly increasing storage, and the costs associated with it. The majority of files stored in Box are perceived (or actively reported) as being "inactive" and yet those files are costing Box and their customers the same amount. As a result, organizations are searching for alternative cost-effective solutions to move their data into. Implementing a separate solution for a subset of Box data requires significant technical, administrative, procedural, and support overhead.
Given a user or admin-driven active/inactive flag, Box could engineer their platform to use cheaper back-end storage for inactive data, and more permanent storage for active data, ultimately providing a more cost-effective service.
Administrators could be given the ability to set the parameters for what makes something an "inactive" file, and then allow end-users to tag their own content.
Allowing a view and controls around "active" vs "inactive" content, means Box could then provide X amount of "active" storage, and Y amount of "inactive" storage quota either included in the price, or for an additional fee (at better a less-expensive per TB rate). Organizations can then choose to deploy the associated quota controls and processes based on their own budget and needs for active and inactive storage.
Market opportunity -- other cloud providers do not provide user-initiated controls for this kind of approach to data storage and management. If the providers are implementing anything like this, it is not transparent to the user. Box may have an opportunity to retain users and their data, by providing a more cost-effective glacier/cold-line/archive/inactive data storage offering, side-by-side with the rest of the Box platform.

All owner vs. co-owner distinction in filtered search in web app
All the distinct of owner vs. co-owner when searching for content that you own. The importance of this is for when an employee needs to leave a project or company, it can be difficult to make sure that all relevant information has been appropriately transferred to the right individuals without putting that burden on the admin or manager after the employee has departed.

Better searchability on assets
inside of a folder with hundreds of assets, it would be amazing to have the letters a-z on the left side so you can click on the letter that corresponds with the first letter in an assets title and go directly to those assets. For example, if you click on 'G'. all assets that start with the letter 'G' come up.
Currently you have to scroll. sometimes for a while to get to the proper file. When you have hundreds of assets within 1 folder it's laborious to get to the one you want!4 votes -

File request - Block upload of domains not on enterprise allowlisted domains
For File Request where Enterprise requires user to login prior to submission, would like an additional security check for Enterprises that only allow for external collaboration from allowed domains as listed in the Enterprise console. If the domain is on the list then allow for file request upload, if domain is not on the allowlisted domains, block upload.

Ability to perform file operation through directory command prompt
File operation by operating by command prompt.
Is there any way to operate the files and metadatas from the pointed directory?
As far as I heard from SE, the answer was "no".
For example, extract all the metadata in each filed from the pointed filename expantion and from the pointed directory by one command.
It will be great if we could use this Box Drive by operating like linux or command prompt.1 vote -
Show appropriate message when user does not have permission
When I try to access a Box link for which I don't have access, it displays a message that
"We can't seem to find the page you are looking for"Instead, it would be great to display a message directly stating that you don't have permission to view the page and also provide an option to request permission directly from the screen. Also, it would be great to provide a list of users who can provide access to that folder.

Hide/restrict files from view in a shared folder
I would love to see the ability to hide/restrict viewing options for a single file/item within a Box folder.
For example, only 3 people would need to be able to view and edit this file although 20 people may have access to the shared folder itself. The other 17 individuals would not know the file is listed there because they do not have viewing access.
This would help reduce the need to save that file's information someplace separate from the rest of the pertinent folder information.

Ability to unfollow Box Note when no longer needed to collaborate
We get access to many Box Notes on a daily basis to collaborate. When the Box notes get edited, we get an update on our Box Note page with a little blue circle + an additional number on our box notes app. I'd like to stop following those Box Notes I am no longer collaborating on, so I don't receive those 'updated' notifications.

Auto-creation of Folder Tree through Box for Salesforce
To create a new workspace through the VisualForce window for Box in Salesforce, you click a button. I'd like to be able to set a folder tree structure through the Box Settings in Salesforce so that every time I click that button, Box automatically makes the same folder tree structure for every new workspace.

Add external collaborator's expiration date on collaboration report
In the collaboration report, there are invited date and accepted date, but there is no expiration date. Would it be possible to add expiration date in the collaboration report?
Because it is too tough to confirm the expiration date one by one on the collaboration list page or using API, I demand the way to confirm enitre expiration date easily.95 votes
