  1. Please enable autoplay for multiple files in a folder

    You used to be able to enable autoplay for files in a box folder. Now, even if you click on "enable" for autoplay, it does not. Why????

  2. Option to disable preview of PDFs on phone

    When I open PDF on iPhone it displays correctly but box preview seems to be ignoring multiply/darken layers and just display them without this. This causes white boxes and images being cut one from another.
    Option to disable preview would be nice. This is the folder https://app.box.com/s/qj947h7q0jri0r1hp3lm9dlo9zzjtu2z - first file displays badly on iPhone preview of the link

    Hi, 

    thank you for your feedback. This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. After reviewing the shared folder and files we can confirm that preview works fine now. 

    In case of any other questions feature requests or ideas please reach out to us.
    Cheers,

    Klaudyna

  3. Allow administrators the ability to change the timing threshold of the Box Drive Authentication Token

    It would be helpful for admins to be able to change the timeframe for which the Box Drive authentication token lasts. We have users who have a hard time renewing their passwords in a timely manner and this is the biggest avenue they have to keep them working because the token doesn't seem to expire in a more timely manner. Or have a way to remotely sign a user out of all box applications on their devices when needed.

  4. Please Improve the overwriting of a file with the same name when it is uploaded with "Previewer/uploader" permission.

    Please improve the following problems that occur when using the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege.

    When a file with the same name as an existing file is uploaded, the file is overwritten and saved.

    When a user with the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege uploads the same file name, Please the file name should be automatically converted to a different file name from the existing file, such as "File Name_2", so that it can be uploaded.

    【日本語】-----------------------------------------------------------
    「プレビューアー/アップローダー」権限の際に起こる下記現象を改善してください。

    既に存在しているファイルと同一名のファイルをアップロードした際、上書き保存されてしまう事象。

    「プレビューアー/アップローダー」権限のユーザーが同一ファイル名をアップロードした際は「ファイル名_2」等、既存のファイルとは別のファイルへファイル名を自動変換しアップロード可能にしてほしい。

  5. version for multiple files

    return version to a date of all file in a folder, or all selected files.
    Today is possible to do this only if I open each file and select version, with a lot of clicks

  6. Rename items and custom order in Collections

    Collections are great! Now the possibility to customize the display order as well as to rename items without affecting the actual folder/file name would be great additions

    Thanks for the feedback. Currently, collections are sorted by 1) Favorites and 2) personal Collections in alphabetical order. We do not have plans currently to allow renaming items or sorting order.

  7. Make the message area editable on relay manual workflows

    In manual workflows, it should be possible for the workflow starter to customize the message field.

  8. Save a Search Query as a Collection

    When you search, have an option to save the search query as a Collection that then gets dynamically updated.

    Good use case: search query for "Folders Created Today" and save that as a Collection (or some other entity in Box).

    Other platforms do this with search already and users enjoy it!

  9. external share

    Need the ability to provide some users/groups to create external shares for a longer or indefinite period of time. If we have a long range project I have to disable to option to control how long a share stays out there - that in my opinion is a security risk.

  10. Custom Subdomain on Upload API Endpoint

    When a Box instance is setup to use a custom subdomain, the upload API endpoint should use the subdomain. For example, acme.upload.app.box.com instead of upload.app.box.com. This will make it easy to setup corporate firewall rules that prevent users from uploading content into personal Box accounts

  11. Watermarking feature turns document to a PDF and loses all formatting

    Currently the watermarking feature turns the selected document to a PDF, therefore losing all formatting from the original application. In excel the document loses all formatting features, including tabs, etc. Watermarking should not lose the formatting of the original document - and/or allow for watermarking feature to only be used when downloading and not in the view features.

  12. Watermarking only for downloads

    Watermarking in the Box view is intrusive. Allow for water marking feature to be marked as an option for downloaded materials only.

  13. permanently purge file version history

    Hello,

    We have a use case that we use box as a temporary storage location in a workflow. But once the workflow is finished, we would like to purge the information but "keep" the same boxfileid. We thought by deleting the version history, we would have achieved this. But it turns out the deleted version history is restorable.

    I am wondering if it is possible to
    (1) optionally make a file "not" able to store version history
    (2) or optionally permanently delete a version

  14. new folder button in move or copy window

    I would like there to be a button to create a new folder within the move or copy window. I have several template documents that I copy into new folder structures when I need to use them, and my workflow would be more streamlined if I could create the folder I am copying the template into from within the move or copy feature, instead of having to create the folder and then copying the template document.

  15. Usability of action icon

    I am using box with google chrome. I always use action icon, dots right side of each file, to download a file, but I cannot select download when browser for box is fitted to main display of laptop because actions are pop-up to upside of a display and cannot be seen every actions.
    It is not happened if I see box with second display which is bigger than main one. It must be fixed.

  16. [ACCESSIBILITY] Enable preview with non-embedded captions

    Currently video player requires subtitles to be embedded in the video file. It would be a great enhancement to adopt the industry standards and enable captions to be in a different file (same filename, different extension) on the same folder. That would simplify the work to be done when publishing a video with captions.

  17. Adding a granular sharing option for Annotations

    I would like to use annotations as a personal note. It would be great if an annotation is not shared with anyone by default and a user can choose an option to share/show it with collaborators.

  18. Priority of classification policies in combination with shield detection rules

    Hi,
    I can currently prioritize classification policies. Unfortunately, the classifications used in this way categorically overwrite those created with box shield's access policies.
    For example: I have a classification only with shield access policies.. high confidential. This includes external collaboration restriction, download and print restriction.
    It will be set manually on the desired folders. All files in this folder are now protected
    Now i also have a classification with classification policies like credit card number or IBAN code. This should inform user automatically that there's a file with (maybe) protectable content.
    This overwrites the classification which is manually set on…

  20. Updtating task.is_completed when rejected

    When a task is rejected, the task.iscompleted status doesn't get updated and remains "in progress". The taks.iscompleted stauts should get updated to "rejected" to differentiate from those tasks where there is effectively an assignment pending at least to complete the tasks.
