Add 'Description' Field for Groups in Box
Groups in AD have a custom 'descriptions' field; the Groups feature should have the same parity to give more context to Groups within the Admin Console, especially, as a large company, we have many Groups that have similar names.
0 votesYou can add a description for a Group through the Admin Console when creating or editing a group. You can also add a description through the Groups API.

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.

Allow admins to select multiple folders within Content Manager and bulk change permissions/ownership
Our admins have had a large influx of personal accounts migrated to their managed service. In some cases people set up shared accounts that do not have a corresponding individual attached. They are trying to scoop up those folders and put them all into a subfolder that can be shared by the group.

Unsubscribe from notification on folder / file level
Our organisation (ad agency, 200+ staff) works for 70+ customers. The customers are assigend to teams. In Box, every customer has a project folder, and a team is assigned to a folder (with editor rights).
But not all members of a team work for all clients of a team, and even if the work for the respective customer, they do not participate at all folder/files of a customer. Regards notification this means that all team members are spammed with notifications for clients they don't work for and files or folder they never participated on.I would mean a huge admin…

Blind Guide - Instructions for new collaborators
I wish to state my ongoing frustration with sharing collaborative folders with my clients via box. The instructions for me, as part of a subscribed user group, are clear. The instructions for a new user who we invite to collaborate ARE NOT. You put me in a position of the blind guide when the client or collaborator asks me for help getting to the files – and Box has not provided sufficient instructions. I suspect Box assumes because I have logged into box as a new user once in the past, that I know how to coach a new…

Relay Workflow to follow messages/ notifications to activities
It would be super helpful if you could use Box Relay to let a notification follow an activity. I know that you can generate tasks, but in that case I just want to let a certain group of users know that there is new content in a folder. A notification would be the best way to do this.

Allow Admins to STOP Email Uploads Success/Failure Notifications
We have a requirement for some groups to email reports into Box folders. When using the Email Upload functionality, Box will send the uploading user an email to confirm whether their upload completed successfully or failed. Employees receive excessive emails since we cannot stop Box from sending these confirmations.
Just make it an option in the admin console to shut off these confirmation emails.2 votes -
Custom scope feature for Shared Links
We would like to request the addition of a feature that allows content sharing to be set narrower than "company users" and broader than "invited users only" in "Enterprise Settings" using groups.
As a result, in organizations such as educational institutions where customers such as children, pupils, and students exist within the same tenant, it will be possible to guarantee the fairness of sharing safely within a limited range without collaboration.

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.2 votes -

Add more detail to Box Admin Report folder descriptions
Background:In the headers of folders created by Box when Box Admin Reports are run, there is "Folder description". This gives various details associated with the report, including:
Status, Report type, Run on, Date rangeEnhancement Required and Reason:
When there are so many reports being run during the day, and having to wait for them to complete, it would be helpful to add further metadata:
- Users or groups - any and all selected during report preparation
- Affected folders and files - any and all selected during report preparation2 votes -
Add Section Divider Lines and Blank Fields for Cleaner Forms
I would recommend adding divider lines to allow cleaner grouping or sectioning of fields in a form. It would also be helpful to have "blank" field for better organizing when adding fields in two columns but the number of fields for a particular topic is an odd number. Having a blank filler field would allow starting the next topic on the next row rather than beside a field that isn't related. This would make the form look cleaner and be easier for end-users to follow.
2 votesWe've released the static text field that should resolve the blank field request and we've decided to prioritize multi page forms which could serve as a workaround for Divider lines.

Allows Admins to block new users from being created using unverified email Domain
Some organizations wish to have the ability to prevent any account from being created with an email address belonging to an email domain that is not listed in the Verified Domains list in the Box Admin Console. There should be a setting either in Security or Custom Setup that can be enabled so that all admins are unable to add these types of users. In large organizations that leverage automations and integrations via SSO and security groups to push users to Box, there should be a way to have more granular control on the users that are provisioned access…

Allow users to set a.box.com as their default engagement method to Box through a web browser.
The ability for a user to go to box.com or cloud.box.com or domain.box.com and set the accessible version of Box as default for a specific user or group of users.
This would allow users with unique needs such as visual impairments to navigate to their preference without first making a conscious decision to head to a.box.com or through box.com
1 voteWe strive to integrate accessibility into the Box Web App.

New File Request Submit Button moved to top or fit within viewport
New File Request Template moves the submit button out of the viewport. Users will upload the file without scrolling down to fully 'submit' the file. Can we move the submit button to top of page, or make that preview page smaller to fit within viewport? See Customer comment below:
"The thing about this template is that the CTA to submit is buried in the footer and outside the user's viewport on a laptop. I’ve seen with surveys when the CTA is not in the viewport, a portion of users miss it and never actually submit. And, there is no feedback…

Exports users doesn't reflect the latest users
We're using the list of users which we can export from 'Export Users' button in Users and Groups menu to verify if the user provisioning tool is working correctly on the daily basis.
Although I heard from Box that Box reports are being migrated to new data platform to improve the performance, this new Export Users report doesn't reflect the latest users. Maybe this new one reports the user list as of roughly half a day ago, so we can't our daily verification task correctly...
I think user list should reflect the latest status so I want Box to…

Provide functionality to extend the 30 day time limit on user acceptance when enabling External User TOS
Currently, the documentation states that when enabling external user TOS, if the user does not accept the TOS within 30 days then they have all access to collaborated content revoked. This is problematic as we have external users that need occasional access but may not heed the warning to accept the TOS. I would like a mechanism to manage this time frame, either extending to 90 days or reset the time for users/groups.
Link to documentation: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044192733-Using-Custom-Terms-Of-Service
If any external collaborators do not accept the ToS within 30 days, they will be removed as a collaborator from the…

Custom document repositories with metadata search
User groups often look to create an interface for document repositories for content stored on Box, where metadata could be used to search/filter content. That would be an interface with medatada fields similar to what can be found on websites (i.e. https://www.calpnetwork.org/library/). The current experience of using the native search, then selecting a single metadata template, then selecting an attribute is not sufficiently user friendly and it's not possible to embed a pre-selected set of metadata fields for search onto an intranet or website.
We're currently not using metadata templates much, but this would be a very practical…2 votes -
Nested folders
With the current collections capability, it looks like collections don’t have any organization within them. If you wanted to organize things into “folders” within your projects you’d have to title collections all at the top level with a naming that implied a hierarchy in order to map shared items into groupings one layer of organization down. Something like:
Collections:
Project1-folder1
Project1-folder2
Project1-folder3
Project2-folder1
…I would have preferred to build an arbitrary folder tree and place shared items into specific places in my folder hierarchy.
Obviously it would be more useful if this organization was available in Box Drive…

Document metadata processing and visualization for decision making in large organizations
Example: Financial organization such as a bank, needs to process a new loan. They will need to process income verification, identity verification, and other documents. The bank representative receiving this information must validate these documents, so the metadata pulled from these documents should be easily exported into a friendly format, such as excel.
This will allow bank representative to easily approve or deny the loan, and can be automated using Box Relay.
This is a killer application, because it will increase the efficiency of document processing, and will speed up and automate the work of many employees. This will shift…
