  1. We would like the ability to put a specific Matadata as our home page.

    We would like the ability to select certain Matadata as our home page. This would allow for us to really customize our home page to our specific needs and the ability to adjust it easily, vs using the favorites.

  2. 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.

  3. Rethink Box Notes as a Collaborative Tool

    Many of the comments about Box Notes, and the shortcomings that make them seem only marginally useful to me, arise from them being treated/implemented as something totally "other", compared to other file types that one might load into Box.

    Unlike other files, Box acts as if Notes all belong together rather than in the user's folder structure, and they have their own type of page or tab that is confusingly different from the standard Box interface, rather than simply opening up in an editing window if the user wants to make changes. An editing window would be much more intuitive,…

  4. Ability in Box Drive to have documents physically stored on PC or external driver

    In Box Drive it would be good that the documents are physically on our PC in offline mode, not just a memory copy (metadata).

  5. Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors for Owner/Co-Owner and Editor

    Add Sharing info to permissions descriptors.
    Share for Owner/ Co-Owner and Editor also includes the ability to Invite

    Share for Viewer Uploader and Viewer only allows you to share a link to people in the folder. So essentially they can only ’share’ with people it has already been share with.

    I’d like to see either:

    • Add Invite as a descriptor for Owner, Co-Owner and Editor > I like Invite as it is explicit OR
    • Change Share to Share Link to Viewer and Viewer Uploader > still a little confusing because you can’t really share w/ anyone that does not already…

  6. Create new permission level to allow sharing without destructive privileges

    Create new permissions levels in Box to provide more flexibility:

    Permissions/ Roles (ie. Editor, Viewer, etc.):

    There is no ability to add someone to a folder and allow them to Invite other persons without giving them destructive permissions > Edit and Delete (Editor Role) >

    Viewer Inviter (not sure I like the name, but it goes well w/ the previous request) > Upload, download, preview and Invite

    This would allow the user to invite others, but not have destructive permissions. I could actually make two new roles and change Viewer Uploader:

    Editor Lite > Upload, download, preview, invite, share and…

  8. Report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.

    We would like to be able to automatically mark a user on Box as inactive. Also, would like to see a report on which users were de-provisioned from the Active Directory when SSO is enabled.

    One example would be the below:

    I'll give you an example - we have integrated our AD with Adobe, so that when a user is disabled in AD, their Adobe product licenses are also automatically removed and therefore available to use for the new users. We add users to security groups in AD to assign the licenses. When the Adobe connector pulls the user data…

  9. Display pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started

    Please display a pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started (or in other words, users are able to open contents).

    We own a lot of content - this makes Box Drive take a long time checking the updated contents and starting up.
    This is causing delays of Box Drive being launched.
    If a notification pops up when Box Drive is ready to start accessing contents, users would not have to check the status of Box Drive so frequently.
    Instead, they could work on other things while waiting for Box Drive to start.

  10. Ability to restrict fonts based on OS across all platforms

    Wants a setting to restrict the usage of characters that are restricted in the OS. for example, Box webapp allows more characters that Windows OS allows. This result in inconsistency when using Box Drive, what appears in Box Drive and what actually exists in Webapp.

  11. Create Outlook anomaly detection

    Build out an Outlook feature or compatible security product that can impose rules on content categories that can alert the appropriate individuals of anomalies or misuse before the file leaves the company’s boundaries in the email program.

  13. Ability to ban App Token Applications

    Currently, we can require users to get approval from admin to authorize apps, but that leads to a number of emails generated to the admin. We want the ability to ban users from creating App Token Applications.

  14. Links that open excel spreadsheets to a particular cell and/or worksheet

    A few of the users here at Quay Australia have asked me about how to send out links to spreadsheets saved to Box that will open the workbook in question to a particular worksheet and cell, like the capability in One Drive detailed here: https://superuser.com/questions/804139/can-i-modify-excel-online-share-urls-to-open-to-a-specific-worksheet. I've tried this method with a Box link and it just opens the file where the last editor left off. If you could develop this capability, many of my end-users at Quay Australia would be very thankful.

  15. Show date in the file area

    In the file area, the most recently uploaded files are shown with a date of yesterday or today. Unfortunately, there is no current date shown on the page for reference. This seems like an easy fix.

  16. box for outlook

    Box for Outlook needs to support moving multiple emails to a box folder. Right now, I can only file an email to box one at a time, and the button is greyed out when I have more than one selected. Also ability to show some box folders in Outlook and drag and drop to those folders.

  20. Add second Box user name filed

    There is First and Last name filed available now when Admin create Box user. When customer integrated with SSO in Japanese, active directory name will be used. However, some Box user will communicate with oversea members, they like to use English name, not Japanese name which synced with Active Directory. So, please add additional filed for user name.
