  1. Increase size of file allowed to be opened online

    We have several large Excel files (example: one that is 16.6 MB) that don't allow for editing/collaboration using Box online. In order to edit it, our team has to take turns: open it in MS Excel and each of us work on the doc one a time. Please allow for larger files to be opened on Excel online since collaboration is one of the hallmarks of using Box for file storage!

  2. search filenames using leading wildcards

    Box.com should allow search for filenames of the files that Box creates due to conflicts. The beginning of the filename is unknown but filename ends in email.address@company.com.

    Currently, Box.com cannot find all filenames ending in email.address@company.com.

    So there is no way to find the files that Box itself has created due to conflicts. We have tens of files scattered on our server that Box created due to network anomalies, and no way to serach for them and reconcile them.

  4. secondary domain

    Add the ability to resolve a second or multiple number of subdomains to one box instance.
    ie; companymain.app.box.com AND companytwo.app.box.com would both resolve to one managed instance. This would be useful for using shared links and having a drodown or option to use a different subdomain for either a department or umbrella organization housing data for various organizations.

  5. "Public" shared link permission to be greyed out on some folder

    User wants the "Public" shared link permission to be greyed out on some folder.
    To prevent information leakage, I want to set "Public" only for a specific folder and gray out it so that it can not be selected in other folders.

  8. pdf on box is downloadable, so the hard work of authors is not protected and can be distributed. Box must prevent this.

    I was able to download a protected pdf on box. I obtained it from Cambridge. I am a school teacher, they gave me a box link to their book which they said I can use for a free months. But I was able to download the pdf. Box must make its embedded pdfs more protected to prevent illegal distribution of ebooks.

  9. When sharing a link can the link have the path name in it?

    It would be great for shared links if the path was in the link to ensure the correct link is being shared without having to double check it and so the receiving party knows exactly what the link contains.

  10. Visually check the copied or moved items

    Currently, there is no way to distinguish between "copied or moved items" and "newly created items" other than in reports.

    For items that have been copied or moved, it would be useful to have the option to see the history of those copies or moves in the browser.

    <コピーや移動されたアイテムをブラウザ上で目視で確認する機能>

    現状では、レポート以外では「コピー・移動されたアイテム」と「新規作成したアイテム」を区別する方法はありません。

    コピーや移動したアイテムについては、それらのコピーや移動の履歴をブラウザで見ることができるオプションがあると便利だと思います。

  11. We want the history and recycle bin to be able to scroll infinitely.

    Infinite scrolling is available when the number of files in "All files" exceeds 100, but the history and trash can still need to be moved by buttons.
    Therefore, I would like the history and trash can to have infinite scrolling.

  12. collaborate at "all files/root" level

    It would be nice if you could add a collaborator at the "all files" or root level, so that they would have access to any future folders created. For example we have folders created for each year and now we have to make sure we remember to add collaborators to the next years folder when it gets created. Versus if we had collaboration at the root level they would automatically be included when the next years folder is created.

  13. Hi, are you interested in knowing about spelling/grammar/usage errors in Box online training, not incl British vs American English?

    Grammar and spelling police here. Just wondering if you'd like errors pointed out so you can correct them. Allowing grammar and spelling errors in training materials, especially those offered online, makes Box seem unprofessional and shady -- like a phishing email or letter from an online lottery telling me I've won money. I've found five errors on just the first page of the Get the apps you need lesson, and they're not British v. American English differences.
    Happy to send screenshots.

  14. File Request User Configuration - error messaging

    When configuring File Request for "enable for select users", users remain in the list even if they have been deleted from Box. If you try to add a new user to the list, you will receive an error message. The reason for the error is because a deleted user is still in the list, however the error is a standard message and does not explicitly say this. So customers do not know why they are getting an error. There should be clearer messaging in the error so customers know what they need to do.

  15. open location

    When I copy or move an item, usually I just want to go to the location where the file has now been copied or moved to. Currently, the only option is to show file or close. If I show file, I have to wait for it to load before I can click the cross and then be in the location I want to be in. If the file is large, sometimes I have to wait for ages.

    I envisage something in Box like when you right click something on your desktop and it says "Open file location"

  19. 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.

  20. "File Request Link" report similar to the "Shared Link" report

    Would like Org level report on what folders have "File Request Links" very similar to the "Shared Link" report. We need to report on what folders are shared publicly.
