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…

Box Shield
Can we have more granular on the detection rules, e,g, down to user groups, or individual account level - allowing customers to set priorities as high for some user groups, but low for others. For some users, a customer may expect high levels of downloads/activity in Box and this may be in peaks and troughs - therefore potentially a lower priority, whereas with execs this activity should be treated as a higher priority and greater risk.

Company Shared Link Controls: 'Auto-Expiration' to Only Impact Company Links ('People in your company' links)
Our customers would like to set default expiration for 'People in your company' links but not for 'Invited user only' links.
Recently, we have been able to set default expiration for Open links.
This change have been improved usability, our customers are pleased about it.But it is still impossible to set a default expiration only for 'People in your company'links (without setting for 'Invited user only' links).
Some of our customers need to limit the sharing of information internally as well and hope this setting.
Example.
・pharmaceutical industry
・manufacturing industry
・Companies with group companiesNow, they have to set…

Box Entra Gallery App integration
We're in the process of migrating from our current IdP service to Entra Enterprise Apps and need to reach parity in Entra with current IdP capabilities. For the most part we have parity for Box using the gallery app in Entra with two key gaps.
- Automated Personal Folder creation, using a standard naming convention, to a nominated root folder at the time the account is provisioned, with the user added as a Co-Owner to the Personal Folder
- Assignment of user Role Type at account creation time. We currently use Group Assignments to determine if a user is assigned the Member…

Dynamic File Requests
The ability to utilize File Request to send dynamic file requests. We often request multiple files from our clients. These requests can be 25+ items. It would be beneficial to send a list of required information where the client (external user) could could upload the requested file and the file would retain the name of the item on the original list.
The ability for external users (those with the file request) to see what items on the request list have been fulfilled and which items are still outstanding would be ideal.
It would also be extremely helpful to be able…

Add a new security level of "Restrict"
I understand the current security levels may once have reflected some technical details e.g. the permissions that might be assigned in a particular file system. However, this could be enhanced by a new security level ("Forbidden", "Excluded", "Restrict" or whatever makes sense) that is applied by exception.
A simple example:
Folder "News" has All Company as viewers.
Group "Contractors" are invited as "Restrict" access.
Whenever any user seeks access e.g. viewing the contents of the folder that contains folder "News", they will of course inherit the permissions from the parent, but before being allowed to see "News" Box first checks…

Multi-Factor Authentication for SSO required
We would like to be able to issue Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in addition to SSO required and for specific groups like external collaborators, contractors, and remote employees
5 votesThe option to require 2FA for external collaborators has been delivered earlier this year. This feature, while independent from the SSO configuration should answer to the original ask.

Box Events API Collaboration Events don't show the same details as the user activity report
When a User Activity report is generated, we can show events for 'Change user or group role' and 'Removed collaborator'. As part of these records there are additional details provided showing:
From: ROLE, To: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234
Was: ROLE, Folder ID: 1234When using Box Events via API we also see events for
COLLABORATION_ROLE_CHANGEandCOLLABORATION_REMOVE. These line up to the records in the User Details report however they are missing the details about the previous states of the collaboration.As part of our company policy for managing collaborations, I need to be able to fetch the previous…

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 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 -
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.

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…

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.

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.

Sorting Files Uploaded By File Request
A single file request collects multiple files which all end up in the same folder from many users. There is no automated way to sort this content e.g. In a case where 500 files are submitted. Can a method to automatically sort this be created e.g. upload zones sending content into separate sub-folders or Relay moving groups of content based on metadata into new folders created upon upload

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.

Increase collaboration invitation limit for Hubs beyond 500
Hubs owners/coowners can only invite 500 individual collaborators to a Hub. This poses a challenge for customers who have restrictive external collaboration settings that prevent the creation of public shared links, and need to provide access to external users via invitations to collaborate on files/folders. This limit needs to be increased (or eliminated) to support large enterprises with more restrictive security settings. Leveraging Groups is not a good alternative for users who primarily intend to use Hubs for external collaboration.

Bulk Edit - Add Email Alias Column(s) to Bulk Edit Spreadsheet
Currently there's no way for an admin to manage/edit email aliases for their users in bulk via the Admin Console (they must develop custom scripting to do so).
REQUEST: Add the ability to edit/add email aliases for users when using the Bulk Edit feature (meaning add an alias column to the spreadsheet that allows the user to enter multiple aliases in one cell, separated by a delimeter like a semicolon - exactly what we already have for the Groups column of the spreadsheet).
