  1. Full path to the file in notification e-mails

    I'd like to ask for adding full path to the file (especialy first level) in notification e-mails to use Outlook rules. Starting this year everybody is a member of many BOX groups - less or more important. It would be very usefull to split the notifications into folders.

  2. Candidate destinations are not displayed when inviting files to collaborate(Box for iOS)

    Box for iPhone/iPad and Box for EMM don't offer suggested recipients when you invite collaborators to a file.

    When inviting a collaboration to a folder, a list of possible recipients is displayed. Please do the same in the mentioned app.

  3. Add Bulk Files to a Hub

    Currently, adding files to a Hub requires each file to be selected individually. Being able to drag a group of files from Box Drive would be really helpful, or some sort of a "Select All" button so that all files within a Box folder could be selected simultaneously.

  4. Add length of field to API documentation

    It would be nice to explicitly mention the length of some of the fields. In our enterprise account all the users had 10-digit UIDs, so I thought that was the standard length, but we had some users with preexisting lite accounts rolled in and a few of them had 8-digit or 9-digit UIDs. I see now that the example UID provided had 9 digits, so my bad there, but I initially just looked at the 'id' attribute under 'user object' to try and find the length and it would be nice I think to have something like 'id / string…

    Thanks for the suggestion. We generally don’t provide lengths for fields unless there is a concious decision to define a specific length or range as a contract. Given that the type of field for user id is a string, the fact that user id values ranged from 8-10 digits is an implementation detail, not a guarantee.

  5. I would like the number of managed users to be displayed in real time.

    Regarding counting managed users in Admin Console > Users & Groups, the current design has a delay of one or few hours before accurate number is reflected.
    While we can use reports to see the exact number of users, it would be better to be able to see the number immediately after adding or removing users more intuitively.

  6. Add specific users as approvers

    To be able to manage Box Signs created within a tenant, I want to ensure that a specific user is always added as an approver to the Signs created by users in the target group.
    For example, in the Enterprise settings, if you specify a specific user for each group, when a user in the group creates a BoxSign, I would like to have the specified user automatically added to the approver field.

    in Japanese
    テナント内で作成されたBoxSignを管理できるように、対象グループのユーザーが作成したSignに必ず特定のユーザーが承認者として追加されるようにしたい。
    例えばEnterprise設定でグループごとに特定のユーザーを指定すると、グループ内のユーザーがBoxSignを作成したとき自動的に承認者の欄に指定したユーザーが追加されているというような形にしたい。

  7. Enable Admins to Recover Deleted Users Without Submitting Support Tickets

    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…

  8. The ability to control deletion and restoration from the Recycle Bin.

    I would like to see the ability to control the deletion and restoration of items from the Recycle Bin by user/group in the Enterprise Settings for Content and Sharing.
    Currently, when a free user is added to a tenant, the user added can delete and restore items that they own.
    If this feature is added, we would be able to control the deletion and restoration of items by the user in question on a per-user basis.

    Enterprise設定のコンテンツと共有に、ユーザー/グループ指定でごみ箱からの削除、復元が制御できる機能を追加してほしいです。
    現在、フリーユーザーをテナントに追加した時に該当ユーザーは自身が所有しているアイテムを削除、復元できてしまいます。
    この機能が追加された場合、該当ユーザーによるアイテムの削除、復元をユーザー単位でコントロール出来ます。

  9. Applying folder exceptions/exclusions to Classification policies

    Would like to apply folder exceptions/exclusions to Classification Policies. Currently, we can apply to a selected group of folders, but we have an organizational need to be able to apply a classification policy to all content and add a small selection of folders to exclude from that classification policy.

  12. Disable the collaboration expiration date set for an external user when the external user is changed to a managed user.

    External users who have been collaborated with an expiration date often become managed users.
    Currently, we need to re-collaborate or add them to a group, so we would like to see the expiration date changed so that the expiration date is invalidated when the user is changed to a managed user.

  13. Records Retention Functionality

    This is a very old idea that should available for Box users. Dealing with real records retention not retention policies as currently used in Box. Records/Document retention deals with the management of information thru its lifecycle - Records/documents are created, used, store, archived, kept permanently (for administrative, legal, fiscal, and historical reasons) or destroyed. Currently, there is no way to apply records retention rules or schedules to Box, which means that we are only dumping content instead of managing the content based on its value - based on a company's records retention schedules. Why not put together a group of…

  14. Ability to review all external users permission levels

    We would like the ability to review all external users permission levels. I was thinking of an interactive way to filter and search. For example: On the Users and Groups section open the list of External Users. It would be nice to see their assigned permissions here. Then be able to filter to show those who have editor rights, or search those who have email domain = sample.com. Then you could interactively edit.

  15. Allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups

    I have found it inconvenient that Box Drive can only be enabled or disabled for all users uniformly.

    I believe that allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups would provide more flexible operation. Implementing this feature could enhance security and operational efficiency. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.

  16. Users want to customize their "home" Box page to limit # of folders in view

    Users would ideally like to be able to create folders within their own home screen to sort & categorize folders they've been granted access to.

    These folders would be for personal organizational purposes, but would not actually impact the folder structure overall. This group felt that the Favorites feature was not sufficient on its own.

  17. No 'Resume Signing' option for ready-sign link initiator, only access code

    Streamline the flow for email verification when using Ready Sign Links:
    Customer wants all RSL to use email verification whereby the end user must enter the code, and NOT be able to use the 'Resume Signing' option that's included in the verificaiton code email.

    Having both options in this process is confusing to end users. Also the two options are not documented on support.box.com - only option documented is where the end user is expected to add the verification code -- no mention of bypassing that / removing that step when choosing to resume signing via the email.

    Again, the…

  18. Upload policies catching too many false positives

    137 files flagged so far today for Social Security Violation. Here is the warning information: File attached.

    I am getting so many false positives that I would need a team to look at every single file that gets flagged. The scanning engine is terrible. Please escalate to your internal dev group so it can get fixed.

  19. Sidebar Display

    Everytime I open a link or new instance of Box, the side bar automatically opens up. It takes room on the screen and the information isn't useful at all (I don't need to be constantly aware of who the members of the group are). Please make this list show up elsewhere when it's necessary to view who users are.

  20. "Recents" feature - Feedback

    There is a box notification above "Updates" page that states the following:
    "Box has decided to end of life (EOL) the Updates feature on August 31, 2022. As an alternative to Updates, please use Recents to access content you have recently interacted with."

    As "Recents" feature does not offer any information about other users' interaction in shared files and folders (comments, uploads, views, etc) and, additionally, the notification system does not work for most of these instances (comments without tagging, uploading, etc) or does not work well enough (many times there is no notification or it is well delayed), this…
