  1. Create one of "Boxファイル" and "Box Files" tabs

    In Teams V2 integration, when you add a Box app to a team from the left menu, Apps >Box> Add to Team > Select the team you created > Set Tab, you may see "Boxファイル" and "Box Files" tabs created.
    Please improve the functionality so that only one of the tabs is created, as users may be confused as to which tab to use.

  2. Need API to download files from Trashed folders

    As of now we can able to download files from Trash, but when we try to download files from the folder that is trashed by user under legalhold, we can't do it. This is a gap in edisocvery process. Can you please publish the API endpoint to download the files from trashed folders as well? We can't tamper the user data.

    Same kind of request available in these 2 places well.

  3. File Shortcuts

    I want to be able to have file shortcuts. They are just pointers to a file that can be placed in other folders throughout the file system. This makes it seem like there are copies of the file in multiple folders and all of the copies get updated whenever one gets updated because its actually one file with a bunch of references pointing to it.

    We understand the convenience that implementing this feature would bring, but recommend using the existing Bookmarks feature as a more efficient and simplified means for achieving the desired behavior.

  4. Make new files/folder immediately searchable. Remove latency.

    Make new files/folder immediately searchable. There is massive latency for new files/folders being searchable, which creates a very confusing and unpleasant end user experience.

    When a new file/folder is created, it is not immediately searchable. Please fix this.

  5. counter for number of files selected so that users get warned / prevented from selecting over 20k files for a hub

    "Wanted to flag an additional item as a requested enhancement from our team - for the widget to select files / folders to ultimately create a hub; it would be nice to have a counter for number of files selected so that users get warned / prevented from selecting over 20k files for a hub"

  6. Download and Print restriction policy and Office co-authoring

    I have Office co-editing enabled on my device.

    An error appears when I try to edit an Office file from a web browser that has the file labeled with "Download and Print Restrictions Access Policy for Box Desktop" enabled.

    It's meant to be a label to disable BoxDrive, but I'm having trouble if I can't edit it from a web browser.

    Please enable Office co-authoring from a web browser, even if the file is labeled with these restriction.

  7. Support preview for macro enabled MS Office files. Also add preview support for .jcl files for z/OS.

    Many types of MS Office files are already supported by Box Preview. Not sure why adding the macro-enabled file support has not been done.

    JCL (Job Control Language) files are used extensively in z/OS for many different types of work. It would be nice to store them in Box with the .jcl suffix to distinguish them from run of the mill .txt files.

  8. All Files External Shares

    Within the All Files view it would be nice to be able to separate and collapse the External Collaborations (Grey Folders) to the internal folders. In addition, make the separation collapsible to clean up the interface and provide a better de-linearisation between internal and external content.

  9. Option to revert accidentally moved files/folders

    More often than not users accidentally move files/folders by mistake.

    Reverting is nothing but a complete and avoidable nightmare.

    The current process is horrendous. Running a report on moves only gives you info on WHO moved the folder and where it was ORIGINALLY. After finally searching for and locating the folder, the Admin Console gives you no options to move the folder. You instead have to granting yourself permission to the parent folder, navigating to your personal Box account and make the move manually. I hope I'm not crazy but this process is in no way intuitive or fun…

  10. Relay Lite for multiple users

    Relay Lite has a limitation that would work only for a home user. Any business organization would have a primary and backup user monitoring work items, so the ability to list multiple people on the workflow notifications and having only one complete it is essential. We can list multiple recipients in other areas of your product, and should be able to do so in Relay-Lite, rather than being restricted to a single radio button choice.

  11. Additional permission options for files

    Hello:

    The documentation for Collaborator Permission Levels at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels is very substantially incorrect. At the start of that article it says (capitalization mine):

    "When inviting a person as a collaborator within a folder OR FILE, or sending a shared link, you have the ability to set the level of access that person has to your content. Refer to the following chart to review the different permissions that accompany each permission level:"

    This is completely incorrect--the permissions in that article only refer to permissions for folders, not files. Files only get "Viewer" or "Editor" permissions.

    Ideally it would be nice…

  15. When selecting multiple files to move or copy, the delete icon is too close to the move/copy icon.

    When users select multiple files to move or copy, the delete icon is positioned too close to the move/copy icon, which may lead to accidental clicks. Please consider moving the delete button to a more appropriate location or making it visually distinct, such as changing only the delete button to red.

    複数のファイルを選択して移動/コピーをする際、削除アイコンが移動/コピーアイコンに近すぎます。

    複数のファイルを選択して移動/コピーする場合、削除アイコンが移動/コピーに近すぎるため、誤ってクリックしてしまう可能性があります。削除ボタンを他の適切な場所に移すか、削除ボタンだけ赤にするなど違いを明確にしてほしいです。

  17. Notify or provide options on password protected files in Automated Classification

    When running automated classification, files containing passwords will not be checked for PII information. This means they are potentially at risk of getting shared externally. There should be options to classify them if they are password protected or it should have the option of alerting.

  18. List View of Marked For Offline Files

    It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

  19. Add native search functionality to CSV or text files from within the web app

    The Box web app does not currently have native search functionality for CSV or text files. The browser find bar fails because the system hides information that's not visible.

    Can this functionality be added so that I'm not forced to re-download files to simply search them?
