  1. Additional Sorting Options for Managed Users in Users & Groups

    I would like to request the addition of more sorting options for Managed Users in the Users & Groups console.

    Currently, sorting is limited to Name, Email, and Storage Used.

    It would be extremely helpful to include the following:

    1. Sort by Last Activity
      Enables identification of users who have never accessed Box or who are inactive.
      Helps admins determine which accounts can potentially be cleaned up or require follow‑up.

    2. Sort by Status
      Allows quick visibility into which users are disabled in Box.
      Supports faster lifecycle management and removal of stale or unused accounts.

    While this information is available through…

  2. Provide notification when auto-provisioning of user accounts fails because a Box account already exists.

    We use auto-provisioning to create Box accounts in our Box managed enterprise environment. When a user is added to a specific group in Azure AD, this kicks off something that creates the account in our Box environment. However, it is possible that users have an existing lite Box account from former roles. When this happens the auto provisioning fails without warning due to a duplicate account. We would like to be notified when this happens. We can see the error in the Azure logs but those are not easy to use for alerting due to sheer size and think this…

  3. On Admin Console, provide ability to use wild card search for external users.

    On the Admin Console > Users & Groups > External Users, allow users to use a wild card for searches. Currently, the search only performs a "starts with" search on the email address and name. However, this is very limiting and restrictive, especially when we have thousands of external users, and the name field is variable (first last; last first; nicknames, etc.) The wild card feature or "contains" would give the user an option to search within the email address to filter users by email domain.

  4. Request for improvement of behavior when posting a shared link of a Box folder in a Teams channel or chat

    When you post a Box shared link in a Teams channel or chat, you'll see a Grant Access card with the option to grant users additional permissions if the following conditions are true:

     condition:If there are channel members or chat members who do not have access permissions to the shared folder or file.
          *This includes channel members and chat members who are invited as a group but not directly invited as users.

    The support article states that when you grant access, the card will update and a content card with file details will be displayed.
    However, when you post a…

  6. Ability to hide file previews from Access Stats when a specific user/group of users views a file in Box.

    There is a need for a 'covert' style admin functionality which would mask when one of these users views a file in Box.

  7. Filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated in the user detail report.

    Content:
    Currently, the user detail report cannot filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated,
    and it is necessary to check while cross-referencing with the user list on the Users and Groups screen.
    Additionally, the unmanaged user list on the Users and Groups screen can take up to 24 hours to reflect changes,
    which may cause discrepancies with the information at the time of report output, reducing operational efficiency.
    I request the implementation of a feature that can filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated.

    タイトル: ユーザー詳細レポートで、コラボレーションされていない管理されていないユーザーをフィルタリングする。
    内容:
    現在のユーザーの詳細レポートでは、コラボレーションされていない管理対象ユーザーをフィルタできず、
    ユーザーとグループ画面のユーザー一覧と照らし合わせながら確認する必要があります。
    また、ユーザーとグループ画面の管理対象外ユーザー一覧は反映までに最大24時間かかるため、
    レポート出力時の情報と差異が発生する可能性があり、業務効率が低下します。
    コラボレーションされていない管理対象外ユーザーをフィルタできる機能実装を希望します。

  8. Grant customized permissions to users/automation process, as per business requirements.

    Grant customized permissions to users/automation process, as per business requirements. Restricting permissions completely, cripples the automation system. Create additional permissions or permission groups to manage the Collaboration Space allotted to the client's business.
    The client will define the required permission for users, and they will own any responsibility for their resources on Box.
    We are performing automation using RPA, with limited access, unable to automate to maximum extent. Cannot be raising tickets with Box team for every activity that the bot cannot perform.

  9. Update removed the ability to view notifications on a single page. You have to scroll through them from the top tool bar. Please add back!

    The newest update removed the ability to view notifications (@mentions, etc) on a single page. You have to scroll through them from the top tool bar. This makes these difficult to managed properly. This needs to be added back ASAP!

  11. Admin view - Users and Groups

    the current filters don't let me choose just managed users, it includes appusers which I do not want to see. I also need to filter by the date added. The old UI design had this and it was very helpful, the new design is missing it.

  12. Collapsible folder tree/structure for Box Notes for Desktop

    As mentioned in other feedback, right now only having "Recent", "Favorites", and "Inbox" as filters makes organizing and looking through notes difficult.

    It would be interesting to either 1) integrate the user's folder tree in the Box Notes view or 2) have subfolders within "My Box Notes" show up as the structure.

    May be related to PF-02982.

  14. A list of users who have sent "email to all" in a report.

    The "Email All" function on the collaborator list screen on the folder screen allows you to check which user sent what message and when in the "User Activity Report", but it does not allow you to check which user the "Email All" was sent to.
    I understand that "Email to all" cannot be sent to users with pending invitations or when there are more than 500 collaborators,
    but when there are a large number of collaborators, it is difficult to know how many users are pending, and checking the "Collaboration Report" takes time.
    In addition, there may be cases where…

  15. Improve the UX when editing filters for a saved report

    When editing the filters on a saved report, it is difficult to review the data in the "Users and Groups" field as it is very squashed.

    Can you consider making this section larger so it is easier to view any users or groups included in the report. Or maybe have a button to export the list to a text file for easier viewing and modification.

  16. Ability to view Box folders and files more clearly

    Currently, when we look at a list of folders or files, we feel that they are displayed in a cluttered way.
    This makes it difficult to find a particular item.
    We manage and respond to items by grouping them by tags.

    We believe that the following features will make Box even more convenient for us to use in the future

    ・Assign any colour to the folders in the box
    ・Assign any colour to the tags in the Box
    ・The order of the tags in the Box can be rearranged by dragging.

    [Boxのフォルダやファイルを更に見やすくする機能]

    フォルダやファイルを一覧で見た際に、雑多に表示されており、特定のアイテムを見つけるのが難しい。
    現在は、タグによってグループ分けを行うことで対応している。

    今後以下の機能が増えることでより便利にBoxを利用できると考えています。

    ・Boxのフォルダに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
    ・Boxのタグに任意の色を付けられるようにして欲しい。
    ・Boxのタグの順番をドラッグで並び替えられるようにして欲しい。

    This suggestion is not under consideration for the current or future roadmap. We will revisit as we receive more demand from customers for this feature

  18. Auto-redirect to Box account after logging in once and typing in Box.com in the address bar

    One of our users does not like the fact that Box auto re-directs to his Box account after logging in to his browser once, then opening up a new tab and typing in Box.com.

    Example:

    1. Login to Corporate account
    2. Open new tab/window and type http://www.box.com and hit enter
    3. Page loads to corporate Box account and does not allow me to go to box.com public website

    It could be addressed by an intermediary page that offers both options, or it could be addressed by identifying that the user is logged in, still navigating to the path requested (e.g. Box.com) and then…

    This is a rare use case where a logged in Box user wants to see the public website.

    Given the relatively minor affected population, we will not introduce friction for our product to solve for this use case.

  19. Google Doc "share" from google.

    When using V2 of the box integration with google docs, apparently the ability to "share" the document from google itself, was apparently removed (it shows as available at 1:05 of this box video https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators )

    Removing this functionality is not only cumbersome, it creates HUGE potential security issues.

    I would like users in our organization to be able to store these google documents in box, to avoid having to manage multiple file storage systems. For one thing, it is cumbersome and unintuitive to have to go to box to invite a person to collaborate with my google doc. And then…

    When using the integration, users can now share a Google file directly within the editor, using Box’s sharing modal permissions and settings.

  20. Is there a way to make comments on MBox folders private/directed toward specific individuals in an MBox group without seen by others?

    I am part of a team that uses MBox to securely upload and view videos of infants who are identified at risk of adverse neurodevelopmental conditions to conduct a standardized assessment on each infant. Typically, when team members upload videos of their patients, we have to send multiple emails in order to a) notify the team that a new video has been uploaded and b) respond to the individual who uploaded the video to offer feedback/scoring. Is there a way to make the MBox comments privatized in order to reduce a bias effect on scoring the videos (and minimize the…
