Outlook Integration - Box Embed Widget/ Folder Tree View
It would be useful to offer users of Outlook a view into all of their Box files via a folder tree or embed widget. They could easily drag and drop emails or attachments into the relevant folders to be stored as well as viewing their content/ reading archived emails. Supporting our philosophy of integration and being able to surface content through popular applications. Requested by customer Eric Wright Group in EMEA.

Collaborator Report for live snapshot of all current collaborators
The current Collaborations report shows all collaborations that have gone out (pending, accepted, past invites etc.) instead of just showing a live snapshot of all collaborations. Customers would like a way to pull a list of all users currently in their tenant, both managed and external, and the items they have access to. Essentially taking the information from "Users and Groups" and being able to export this for both managed and external users.

Email Notification for specific documents or tags
In the current version of the Box product, there is no feature available to notify a user or a user group for that matter, of any uploads of specific file types or specific tags on files.
We would like for our users to be able to be notified of uploads of specific files in a given folder instead of being inundated with notification emails for every upload done in a folder.

Administrative Controls around shared links
For Shared Links that are open to "People with the link" and no expiration date across our organization, we'd like to have the ability to:
- Disable these links up across all or selected users
- Restrict settings for the majority of our users so that all of these shared links have an expiration of 60 days or less
- Allow only a select group of users the ability to share links with way without expiration dates

Ability of business to enable/disable password protection of documents/folders function
The functionality allowing users to password protect documents and folders, should be manageable at the top level, as this function may cause problems with managing content if over used by users.
A simple enable/disable toggle for each group of users (Previewer, Editor etc) - so that users may/may not have the ability to password protect documents/folders depending on their permissions in particular locations
Admin Console - reporting locations and details of password protected documents and folders

Generate csv for the users with permission
let's say you have a subfolder with multiple users with the same permission, and want to create another subfolder for the similar purpose for the same users. Wouldn't it be great if you can generate a user list as csv or any other format, so you can easily copy and paste the users to invite? I know an admin can create a group but dont you think a regular user should be able to do the similar thing too?

Push information on AD information in Box Drive for first time login (e.g. tenant name)
To allow for configuration that allows Box Drive to understand that the first authentication should be against the client's SSO provider, rather than prompting the user to enter their email address. Some options that were mentioned were to allow Box Drive to read a value containing the user's email address, or to configure Box Drive to launch a customer specific authentication page.

Large Folder Operations dashboard with status, ETA, rollback, and reporting
Requesting a centralized Large Folder Operations Dashboard in the Box Admin Console or via API to improve visibility and control over major content transfers.
During a large folder ownership change, an unexpected behavior occurred where ownership polling and job sequencing did not reflect the actual state of completion. This led to a move propagating recursively from an empty child folder to an inherited, multi-million-object parent folder.
A built-in dashboard would provide transparency into large operations and prevent this class of issue from occurring silently.
Proposed Capabilities
-Status Tracking — show all active or queued large folder transfers (ownership, move, or…

annotate
When adding an annotation to a file, it would be nice to make it a once stop annotate and enable the person that i am @ mentioning to annotate the file and not require the owner to first extend the file through permissions, then go annotate. Annotation should be one process for sharing and extending annotation.

Allow classifications to only be visible and usable to some users.
Allow classifications to only be visible and usable to some users. We use classifications and access policies for specific domain whitelisting. We currently do not allow external collaboration with personal webmail domains for obvious reasons. But some departments like recruiting would need to share content with personal webmail domains. We would like to create a classification/access policy combo that permits this but is ONLY visible to specified users/groups. Thinking of a option like how you can whitelist relay and other features for certain users. Have that same option with classifications. That way the whole org can't use that…

Custom Columns (with sort) for Users and Groups
Custom Columns (with sort) for Users and Groups
The current Admin console defaults to the below columns with no way to customize for better productivity:
Name
Email
User ID
Role
Status
Storage UsedThis request would allow the Main admin account to customize which columns are displayed while looking at your Users and Groups page. These custom column choices can be chosen from the custom Tags (which are already a feature). Allowing important information to be seen at a glance rather than having to go into each user to get additional pertinent information.
Some examples of custom columns…1 vote -
Restrict number of groups you can invite to certain folder
For certain Shield labels I would like to restrict the number of groups co-owners can invite to avoid unnecessary collaboration.

Folder Settings
It would be great if we could go into the folder settings and have a setting for disable move, copy or delete. We would like this on the group folder level only it would not affect the sub folders. So somebody couldn't come in and drag a huge folder that never needs to be copied or deleted, it would prevent that. It would require the folder to be able to do it if the action ever needed to be done

Enhanced Granular Access Controls for External Collaborators
Current Limitation:
- Existing shared link and external collaborator settings apply a uniform 30-day restriction across all external users
- No ability to create differentiated access rules for trusted partners or affiliated organizationsProposed Feature:
Implement a multi-tier external collaboration access control system that allows:
1. Configurable access duration and permissions based on organizational relationship
2. Ability to create exception groups with extended or permanent access
3. Granular control to distinguish between:
- Completely external users (standard 30-day restriction)
- Trusted partners/affiliated organizations (customizable access duration)
- Specific trusted domains with distinct access rulesUse Case Example:

Allow AppUser in developer sandbox to use API to invite groups to folders in production.
User groups belong to the production, and production-ready applications are not supported.
Therefore, we cannot invite groups to folders in production.2 votes -
Hide Apps Link from Blue Left Menu
Our organization is using Box to store controlled information so to best control the sharing of our documents we are only enabling a very limited number of 3rd party app integrations. We have disabled most of the apps via Enterprise settings. However users still can see the Apps menu and we are receiving a lot of negative feedback related to integrations available that as an Enterprise we will not enable. Is it possible to hide the "Apps" in the Blue left menu for non-admin users via group or other action?

Ability to Disable or Choose email Notification when Inviting Collaborators
We would like to have the option to email or not email a collaborator when sharing a content in Box. Example use case is when cleaning up Box permissions (group vs individual) and the Admin needs to do that seamlessly without bombarding he whole organization with Box invites to files/folders hey already have access to. Specially required for Internal collaborators.
Providing access permissions does not always require an invite given the way Box works, the internal user will simply see the content when they access their Box Drive or he portal.1 vote -
Make the administrative contact modifiable.
The topmost administrative account is exposed in the account details for every user. Can you make this modifiable? We use separation of account privileges in our IT units, so each member has both a standard and a privileged account. Because my privileged account has those rights, it is listed in the contact information for our Box tenant. It sure would be nice to have it set to a monitored group email address...I'm not always in the office and an email could sit for quite a while if I'm on leave or ill.

Create a report with a list of users who have Relay Lite access
A way to view a list of users who have the [Relay Lite access] check box selected? Such as through reports instead of having to go through each user in Users & Groups.
