  1. Have a different section/page for Shared links setting on account settings page

    Right now, shared links setting is on "Sharing" tab. This has create a confusion for customer in the following scenario:

    Customer recently switched from company only to open link on admin console settings. They expected that this will change the settings of all managed users, but some users still defaulted to company only link. This was because those users updated email settings before (which happens to be in the same "Sharing" tab) while the "company only" was selected in the Shared Links setting and saved as their individual setting.

  2. Possible to unlock by just id of the lock object

    Locks may have been destroyed by others.
    In the current, just before releasing the lock, the owner of the lock needs to confirm that the owner is himself, so it is useless.
    If we can release this from the object returned at locked, we can write logic more smartly.

  3. Action taken in Box to trigger notification to other programs

    Outcomes that call out to other systems. E.g.: our marketing team would want a Slack notification every time something gets uploaded to their “review” Box folder and other similar things.

  4. Content Manager - allow all folder transfer for all folders owned by one person to another

    Using the superadmin box account, I can transfer ownership by folder. This is nice when I want to transfer 1-2 folders, but when a person leaves the university and that person owns 17 different folders in Box, changing ownership is a very manual task. Keep the change ownership model (under Content Manager), but also have an option that allows me to transfer all folders owned by one person to another - be it 2 folders or 20 or 200. Please.

  5. Hide admins/co-admins and owners/co-owners from collaborators

    We would like a way to hide owners/co-owners, or potentially admins/co-admins, from the default view of collaborators on the right side preview panel.

    We have a closed folder structure where admins & co-admins own content. Due to this. anytime a user is pre-viewing content in the webapp, the quick list of collaborators on the right hand panel shows the admins and doesn’t show other editors in the folder. This makes it difficult for them to quickly assess who is part of the folder without clicking into the collaborator view, since it always shows the admins/co-admins (owners/co-owners) by default. They lose…

  6. Allow user to search or filter within Feed for users, etc

    Be able to filter for a specific user or content in Feed. If I'm in Feed and know a co-worker updated a file in the last day or so I want to be able to specify that user (or maybe other search criteria) and just filter on that user. Or, when a user feed is there, be able to click on that user to see all her activity (right now it pulls up a profile).

  10. Choosing access permission of a user by the network (IP)

    We want Box service to be able to control the access permission to the file within the same user by the access source (network, device, etc.).

    Example:
    -When accessed from an internal network, access permission is "Editor", and when accessed from an external network, this user becomes "Previewer".
    -Although "Editor" can be performed from a corporate PC, only "Preview" can be performed from a private PC.

  12. Provide granular error messages when creating a Chinese external account

    Below is one of the error messages we get, and as you can see there are very vague messages. We have to spend time checking a few things before actually finding the reason for the errors. This takes up time which can be better spent on other issues.

    Error: External email address <email> belongs to a company which already has Box. You may begin collaborating with the external user.

  20. Reset Governance settings

    JFE Steel like to reset Governance setting when Box turned on Governance setting again. JFE Steel set up upload policy when they had POC. Then they did not purchase Governance. When they purchased the Governance later, the setting the customer configured before became effective again. This confused customer. So, Governance setting should be reset when Box turned on the feature.
