Report or visibility into folders set up to receive emails and upload files to Box
It would be super helpful to know as an Admin any folders that are set up to accept emails and upload files to box folders. There is no report or visibility in this. As cyber attacks increase, we need to verify and make sure we know all of our external facing components - not knowing what folders has this component is a concern we have.

We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.
We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.
Currently, BoxDrive shows a prompt for file locking every time a file is opened.
This is particularly disruptive when opening multiple files simultaneously.We would like administrators to have the ability to turn off this prompt through settings.

BoxDriveで表示されるファイルをロックするかを確認するプロンプトを非表示にしたい。現在BoxDriveではファイルを開くたびにファイルロックのためのプロンプトが表示されます。
特に複数ファイルを同時に開くときに作業の妨げになります。管理者が設定で表示をOFFにできる機能を実装してほしい。

Ability to restore/delete files only by Box tenant administrators
【Background】
Due to the revision of the Personal Information Protection Law, the company's policy will be changed.
The policy will be to erase unnecessary data after a specific period of time.
This policy change will also cover data residing in personal Bin.Currently, as a specification of Box, if an item in the Bin is maliciously "deleted from the Bin" or if data is automatically deleted from the Bin after a certain period of time, it will be unrecoverable after 14 days.
We would like to set up a specification like "Archive function of the Bin" so that we can…7 votes -

Allow Users to 'Remove' all files from their BOX Drive as a right-click command
It would be nice, instead of logging out of BOX Drive on my personal computer to 'remove' all files on my personal device (so anything that was cached or downloaded). Instead of having to 'log out' of the BOX drive app.

Make files preview in mobile without user registration like Dropbox
Make files preview on mobile Box, without user registration. Currently, customers need to download the box app just to view any file I send as shared link. This is not an issue with Dropbox. With the majority of people using their mobile phones this would be a good idea, do you agree?

Box Drive & Box Shield
Currently Box Shield classifies copy & pasting within Box Drive as downloading which results in a false alarm notification. It would be great to be able to see the difference between moving files and actually downloading files from a Box report.

View right holder to download the watermarked files from box drive.
that way, people with view right do not need to go box.com website and download each file.
+ it will be great if they could download including folder trees with watermarked files(Pdf, ppt, excel etc).
Take this as consideration

Add filter function to Event API to limit the result by specifying a path collection
Event API result is a list of all updated files in an "entire" site.
For enterprise use-cases, the volume of this returned data is inevitably very large.
Thus, even if a part of site needs to be monitored, the network bandwidth is consumed unnecessarily and it casues the performance issue.
Could you add a filter function to Event API so that the API returns only events related to the files in the specified path collection?
This is the API asking to enhance

Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.
Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.
Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.
Dropbox:
https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2015/10/dropbox-badge-now-available/17 votesWhile we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

View is broken after binning multiple items - needs to force a refresh?
I hit a bug:
I had 33 files in a folder. (There are 20 per page). I selected the first 20 (one page of files) and clicked Bin to move them to the bin.
The files went to the bin and once the process completed, the view showed "There are no items in this folder."
...but there are - there are still 13 files in the folder!
Hitting F5 to refresh didn't fix this.
Hitting "Next Page" took me to a "There are no items in this folder" page with no page navigation buttons. (I guessing this is because…1 vote -
Select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps
I would like the ability to select multiple folders as the location filter for Views in Box Apps. For example, I may have a project folder with a metadata template cascading to all subfolders, but I only want to see content from 2 out of the 3 subfolders in the View.

Not a fan of the new main screen
Hi - not a fan of the large blue column at the left - it now blocks when I try to do a print screen of files - I could open up a file and print screen the list within that file - now it blocks a good portion of the left side - so I can't see/print screen in formation.

Automatically Delete Files After Purge Policy Period (Respecting Legal Hold)
While retention policies provide timed safeguarding, the system does not guarantee automatic deletion of items once the retention period ends particularly when a purge policy is specified. End users must rely on manual deletion or scheduled processes.
This enhancement would ensure that files automatically expire and are permanently deleted via defined purge policies unless they’re subject to a Legal Hold, which always takes priority.
Proposed Functionality:
At retention expiration, system automatically deletes files according to defined purge rules.Legal Hold overrides deletion, preventing removal until hold is lifted.
The system logs all auto-deletions in audit trails, identifying the purge policy…

Attach files directly in Outlook (iOS/Android) with the Box for Outlook integration
You should be able to use the native Outlook attach file option to add Box files into Outlook emails on iOS and Android.
It seems like a real oversight to lock down Intune and block saving to OneDrive, locally on the phone etc. and then give users a terrible experience where they try and attach a file to an email and there's no available location to get files from and instead you have to go into Box first and share the link from there.

Consolidate User and Event Log Files
I am currently downloading Box event log files for my company and am seeing instances where the User Event log and the Admin Event log have holes in their data.
For instance, User Event Log is giving us fields such as item path (path_collection) and file/folder description, but it is not including field data such as IP address.
Conversely, Admin Event Log is giving us IP address, but not item path or file/folder description.We are trying to prevent duplication of data on our end, so we would like to be able to use one log or the other; however,…
