  1. Expand Column for Files and Folders Report

    Sometimes I have users who ask for a files and folder report on a particular folder. After I receive the report I have to create an additional column for a link to the file/folder. I just use the existing information in the report, replace all F with f in the Item Type Column, and concatenate function in excel to create this. Would just like this to be a native addition for the report.

    Excel function: =CONCAT("https://box.com/",[@[Item Type]],"/",[@[Item ID]])

  2. Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options fora team

    Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options for a team. Now it appears that recovery of files that were deleted in a shared Duke Box Toolkit folder can only be recovered by the individual that deleted the file (not the co-owner or admin without the assistance of the individual that performed the deletion). For critical files this is a security risk to just store the files on the Box Drive because it severely limits identifying and recovering deleted files. The individual that deletes the file could…

  3. Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report

    Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    Sometimes previewing large Video files is not counted as "preview" in User Statistics Report.

    It should be counted.

  4. Limit the number of Box files/folders that can be Marked for Offline use

    We would like to limit the Box files/folders that we can Mark for Offline use, like what we currently have when modifying Box drive’s cache limit.

  5. Upon folder upload via web or Drive, if any files fail due to file/path name limit, provide a list of those files

    When a file path exceeds 255 characters, the file would in some circumstances (e.g on Windows), fail from upload. When an entire folder is moved, there is no way of knowing if or how many files may have failed to upload. This is due to OS limitation, but a Box notification or a report could at least allow a manual transfer or shortening the names of the impacted files.

  6. Collaborator files from Box Drive not showing up on Box.com

    Ever since we updated our systems to macOS Ventura we've encountered many issues with Box Drive, now we are not seeing files from other collaborators that they report to have synced showing up on other peoples Drive or on Box.com at all. Box Drive has become unreliable lately, and users are being forced to manually upload files via desktop to ensure their files sync. Please fix!

  7. Make admin console reports (Folders & Files, Collaborations, Shared Links) run at scale

    I saw on the Community site that there is a 10 million item limit, but my company has way more items than that. It is important for us to have these reports for security audits.

  8. Launch study.ambradicom files on double-click

    BOX is retiring their DICOM solution at the end of the year, and replacing it with Ambra DICOM. Study files created by the old BOX solution are named "Study.boxdicom" and can be launchd into the BOX DICOM viewer by simply double-clicking on the filename. This is not true for the new Ambra "study,ambradicom" files. In order to view them, you have to clcik on the triple-ellipses. select "Integrations", and then "View DICOM".

    I would like to have the ability to simply double-click on the new "study.ambradicom" filename and have it launch the Ambra viewer.

  9. I work for two company's. I want to be able to sync both company's files on my imac. Please make that a possibility.

    I work for two company's. I want to be able to sync both company's files on my imac. Please make that a possibility. Currently, I can only sync one company per computer. We had spotty internet connection at one time, and I was unable to go online for access to the files for the company I don't have synced.

    We've rolled this out in a recent release. Thank you for helping make Box better!

  11. Ability to retrieve the number of files for each folder through API

    The Box API allows users to get a list of the files contained in a folder, but it does not provide a direct way to get the number of files per folder, so we would like to provide a way to get the number of files.

  12. Subfolder Sync: Don't Sync the Files Located in the Parent Folder Path

    One of the nuances of Box Sync 4.X's 'subfolder sync' feature is that files that are located in the folders of the parent path for the synced subfolder are also synced, which creates a weird, and unexpected, experience for end users.

    Reference: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Sync/How-Do-I-Sync-Subfolders-In-Box-Sync-4-0/ta-p/116

    REQUEST: Fix this behavior so that even when only a subfolder is marked for 'syncing', none of the files in the parent folders are also inadvertently synced, and instead only sync the parent folders to keep the path in tact.

  14. Limit the number of files that can be uploaded in the Box Web App

    The request is to include a setting within the Admin Console to limit the number of files that can be uploaded at one time through the Box Web App.

    The customer is in insurance (ClaimsPro integration) and is trying to implement functionality to make a work item when someone uploads more documents for a claim than is allowed.
    When users upload too many documents, the job will run multiple times while the documents are being uploaded, creating multiple work items. They are unable to reduce the run frequency of the job and are hoping to limit the amount of uploads…

  16. Preview Adobe Illustrator 2020 Files

    Use Adobe Illustrator 2020 file preview to show quick view or preview in file browser on Box. Rather than this message "We’re sorry, the preview didn’t load. Please re-upload the file or contact Box support." Please? Pretty please?

  18. Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory

    It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

  20. Retain only recent versions of files

    A lot of storage space is dedicated to old versions of files that will never be needed. We would like the ability to retain large number of versions of content in the short term, but to only keep few versions older than a year.
