  2. Ability for users to track activity

    In the Closed configuration ,Only admins and co-admins can track activity on the files listed at the URLs below.
    Users cannot be tracked.
    If users can export reports, they can perform on themselves statistical analysis.
    As a result, it becomes possible to actively use Box.
    So I want users to be included in the targets that can be exported.

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696594-Tracking-User-Activity-on-Files#:~:text=If%20your%20admin%20enabled%20Restrict%20Content%20Creation%2C%20only%20the%20primary%20admin%20and%20co%2Dadmin%20can%20export%20Content%20Insights%20reports.

  3. Box Drive app more easily accessible

    It would be convenient to have an install Box link located in the Help menu or my Account icon similar to Dropbox. Even still, when I navigate to the Box App Center I have to go to Box Drive, scroll down to the respective OS and install. It sounds tedious but I needed to install Box and Dropbox on a bunch of computers and was reminded how the Box user experience still doesn't hold up to Dropbox. Neither is perfect and both have great features but I always feel like Box makes me take steps I don't need or doesn't…

  4. Allow Admins to Monitor for Sync Errors

    Currently if there are any sync errors in Box Drive the only way to identify them is for the user to notice the toast notification or click on the Box Drive systray icon. Relying on the end user to report errors is not reliable and almost caused us to lose data going back several years.

    The only way errors are logged is in the Box Drive log files but no one from Box or Box Support is willing to share how those are logged for admins to monitor.

    Box Drive needs to better log any errors encountered so admins can…

  6. Smart Card support for MFA

    Provide support for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Smart Cards to be used for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This is a desirable feature for DoD personnel who utilize Common Access Cards (CACs).

  7. Customize shared link theme and logo

    As the File request link can be customized (text, colors, logo...), it would be great to customize a shared link too.
    We have many companies inside our enterprise, so each company would be able to set its logo for their shared links (and not the default one of the enterprise).

  8. Ability to set "Updated" as default in search results

    Search results can be sorted by "relevance" or "Updated".
    However, the default is "Relevance".
    Since "Updated" is used more frequently than "Relevance", please implement the ability to specify the default on the user side or in the tenant settings.

    検索結果は、「関連度順」または「更新日」に並び替えることが可能です。
    しかし、デフォルトは「関連度順」になっています。
    「関連度順」よりも「更新日」を頻繁に利用するため、ユーザー側やテナント設定でデフォルトを指定できる機能を実装してください。

  9. Add keyword conditions to search filter.

    Currently, possible to search by combining Boolean operators and keywords, it is a hurdle for users to use without knowledge.
    It would be easier to search if the search filter had a narrowing criterion such as "includes ~" or " not include ~".

    (日本語)
    検索フィルタにキーワードの条件指定を追加する
    現在ブール演算子とキーワードを組み合わせることで検索することは可能ですが、知識がないとユーザーが使用するのはハードルが高いです。
    検索フィルタに”~を含む”、”~を含まない”のような絞り込み条件があればもっと簡単に検索ができます。

  11. About scaling operations using the mouse wheel

    When displaying the preview screen in a web browser, using the mouse wheel will scale the entire screen along with the thumbnails and sidebar, but I would like to be able to scale only the content part.

  12. Selecting files on the Box UI

    I recently noticed a change in Box in the while you can select files. Before, you can click on a filename or multiple filenames and it would just be a selection. Now it seems to launch the file. If you want to select the file you have to click on the ballot box to the it’s right now. Our team much prefers the previous way before it was closer to how a desktop UI behaves.

  15. use @mention in the Office suites of software (Words, Excel, PowerPoint)

    Currently, we are able to do commenting of the document in Box by using the @mention. But we are not able to do the same when we are editing document in the native Ms Office software eg Words, Excel & PowerPoint. The @mention does not work.

    Would like to have the same feature when we are working in the native document?

  17. Google Sheet from Box doesn't have the 'Protect Sheet' feature

    Hi,

    I have created a Google Sheet from Box but I can't 'Protect Sheet' to prevent collaborators from doing any editing. I only want them to open and view the contents via Google Sheet.

    The 'Protect Sheet' feature is not available when I open the Google Sheet from Box. Please assist on this.

    Thanks,

  18. Box Relay Outcome for applying current date upon a file upload

    Currently with Box Relay and a Metadata date field you can set a date to be applied upon a file or folder upload. However, you can not select 'current date'. It will only apply a date that you have selected at the time of crafting the relay. It would be great to have an automation to set a date based on when the file was uploaded to Box.

  19. Improve on Download log in the Activity Log

    Currently when trying to access to a file that does not have a collaboration right, it is registered as download in the activity report.
    I have heard the support team that this is expected behaviour due to the backend work to read the thumbnail.
    However, when looking at the activity log, it looks like a user has "downloaded" that file even though they do not have access to it so would like the report to not show "download" but something else to know that the user hasn't actually downloaded that file.

  20. Update Shield Access Policy Restriction for Box Sign

    For the Box Sign Request Restriction, add the option allow a signature request, but require additional security controls (e.g., signer authentication, password) for the signature request.

    We need the ability to send sensitive content for signature but don't want it sent using a public link.
