Restrict Number of users in Group
I would like the option to restrict the number of users in a group.
The reason is each department has a cap to how many users they can register and if we can stop other admin adding more than they are allowed, it would make the management easier.6 votes -
Modify session duration across all plans
A 14 day session duration is a highly unnecessary security risk for any organization working information with any level of sensitivity. Please open up the ability to reduce this to any paid plan, rather than only the Enterprise plan. It feels like a very minor thing compared to the more complex feature sets and automation that otherwise distinguish the plans. It was sub-optimal, but somewhat acceptable, to not be able to reduce this when the default was 48 hours, but it's really concerning to not be able to do so now that the default has been made so much longer.

Forcing a page refresh when access is revoked
Currently within the webapp, if someone created a public link and scope of the link access changes from "People with the link" to either of the more restrictive options, the user can still view contents of the page despite getting an updated floating notification that says "Sorry, you no longer have access to this note."

starts with, ends with, contains in metadata search
We have quite a large number of folders and files for a specific application in Box. To filter results, we'd like toi be able to use "Contains", "starts with" or "ends with" in the metadata search fields

Prevent copy/move actions during upgrade
When upgrading, current files should be maintained so there is no loss of workflow and access to files other than for making change.s. There should be a freeze on all changes to the folders so that folders are inadvertently moved and duplicated and manipulated by those that have access. Currently those without anything but viewing permissions can go in during the upgrade and copy and move files and change permissions so they have access. That should not be. Files should be frozen.

Box Mobile - Hyperlink files embedded within Excel
While opening linked files within an excel file on the Box mobile application.
This is happening due to the current preview architecture for excel files and nested/linked files within the Box application. Although you can 'see' the desired file visible on the screen, within your current workflow, the Box app only recognizes the original file as being 'opened' which is why the original files are being saved and not the file open currently.

Search document properties in Automated Classification
When exporting design files into PDFs, document properties are often saved alongside the files to designate the sensitivity - for instance, a document may be labeled "confidential".
If we could search for custom terms in these document properties, we could catch some of the classifications already going on.

Add ability to Move Folders & Delete Folders through Zapier
Currently, there is no ability to move or delete a folder through Zapier. This functionality would greatly improve our ability to keep our folder structure organized and cut down on reliance on users to perform these actions.

Filter Box Signs by contract status ("In Progress", "Signed", or "Cancelled") from the column User Interface (more intuitive)
Box Sign: Enable ability to filter by contract status ("In Progress", "Signed", or "Cancelled") from the column User Interface (more intuitive), rather than on the right side (less intuitive).

Enhanced Locking Experience on Box Drive for Mac
With Enhanced Locking on Box Drive now launched for Windows (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063653693-Box-Drive-v2-21-Release-Notes), it'll be great to have the same experience, i.e. opening a file will prompt the user to lock the file and auto-unlock the file when closing the file, for Mac users.
This way all users, no matter what OS they use, can have the same Enhanced Locking experience when working with files via Box Drive.

Ability to view file menu without zooming out
In order to see the entire "More options" menu for a specific file, I need to ZOOM OUT. It cuts off even on a larger monitor/resolution at 100%.
If I could attach an image to show an example, I would.

Would love to see a feature that tracks document opening and page views in the same way that DocSend & PandaDoc do.

File upload restriction to ensure file name matches the folder name
We would like to store files in the correct folder for each customer.
What I want to say is that we have to accurately store files entrusted to us by our clients in the proper folders. However, this is done manually by a person, so it is possible to make a mistake but we are not allowed to make mistakes.Therefore, when storing files in a folder, we would like to establish a mechanism to block attempts to store files that do not match by having the file name and folder name match.
Is this possible? If this is not possible, is there any other way to prevent the above?Please let us know your solution as soon as possible you can because we are having a very hard time.
*We've already been contact with BOX team as ID #2583239.

Output the hostname of the upload destination to the Box Edit log
Box Edit selects the upload destination host from the preflight response, and the upload destination is vary.
If the customer has a strict set of FW rules, only certain files may fail to upload, in which case you will need to get a network capture to verify the destination host.
Obtaining network captures is a difficult operation for endusers to perform, and it is taking a long time to resolve the issue.
Please consider outputting the selected hostname to the log.4 votes -
Linking NS records to existing Box folders located in NS integration folder
We would like to be able to link NS records to Box folders that are located in the NS integration folder. For example, we would like to store all of our opportunity content in a folder structure that rolls up to the customer. Knowing the default folder will be created underneath the opportunity structure, we'd like to link the opp record to a folder that "lives" in the customer folder structure.
We are currently not able to do this and continually get the error: The Box SuiteApp is not set as an owner or co-owner of this folder. Please add Box as an owner or co-owner and try again.

Alternative Endpoints for API calls
In some regions, using the default endpoint box.com doesn't work or works really slowly. Therefore, box offers different endpoints for different regions. For China, this is (Box Alternate Domains redacted for privacy)
That's great!However, those endpoints can only be used within the box web app.
The only available box API to download a file is https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content/ respectively https://api.box.com/2.0/zip_downloads/ to download multiple files as a zip, which generates a download URL starting with dl.boxcloud.com.
As a result, the generated download URL delivers very slow downloads or does not work at all in some regions of the world.Therefore, I request that a possibility be added to select the target region when requesting the download URL. Depending on the region, the best endpoint would be coded into the URL. Alternatively, additional Endpoints with a reasonable download speed for the Asian region, especially China, should be available, for generating Download URLs via the API.
