Classify multiple Box Shield alerts at the same time
We recently had a user upload a lot of content to their Box account in one go during a migration from local file storage to cloud storage. There was a lot of really old data that Box detected as being malicious (over 700 files). Based on spot checks throughout the data, we've determined that the data is not actually malicious and is a false positive. With the current UI, it'd take forever to mark each of the 700+ alerts as a false positive. It would be much nicer to be able to multi-select the alerts from the main list…

Allow BoxDrive search to be limited to files and folders names
The current BoxDrive search will search the contents of the file as well.
We would like to be able to narrow down the search target when searching, because sometimes it is enough to search only the file name or folder name.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-
ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。31 votesBox Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

Opening PDF files using native PDF viewer
Clicking on a PDF should open the PDF in the default PDFviewer (e.g. Bluebeam) instead of previewing the file.

Ability to search files by SHA1 value
Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.
Key use cases:
1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)SHA1 values are referenced here:

Notes Desktop App - Allow Multiple Windows
Users may want to have multiple Notes open at the same time. Request is to allow a user to 'double click' a note in the list on the left sidebar to open it in its own window (exactly the same UX that the native Mac Notes app already has).

Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved
We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.
【Details】
Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned the…32 votesUnfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.
want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.
In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.
Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい
Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右（[←][→]）を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。3 votes -

Auto deleting files from my desktop once they are moved into box
Hi- question on moving files. Say I create a document on my desktop and then drag and drop it into box. The original document on my desktop is not deleted. I would like this to happen automatically so I am not editing the most recent file. Is this an account preference with box or with with my computer?
Example: I create a document file on my desktop just by opening up a Microsoft Word document. I then finish the document file and drag and drop into my box drive on my hard drive, but the file still exists on…

I want to be able to bulk rename files and folders within a specified folder
Bulk renaming files and folders in a specified Box folder though the web interface is a missing feature.
It would be helpful to be able to do so, as often clients or projects change name and the "CompanyA - content of the folder" or "ProjectA - content of the folder" names need to be renamed as "CompanyB - content of the folder" or "ProjectB - content of the folder".
When a company or project folder contains hundreds or thousands of names a string command like "rename text *** to text YYY in al files and folder…

Customize watermark to include version, update date
I’d like to use the watermark or a similar feature to print the Version Number and Last Update Date on PowerPoint and PDF files. I understand you can view this in Version History, but I’d like to see it super-imposed on the content.

Auto-open files when downloaded from Outlook to Box Drive
Currently when one downloads files from Outlook to box drive on one's laptop/desktop, one has to then go to that folder using file explorer (often several clicks or using the quick access menu) to open the file and then editing it. It would be very useful to have an auto open feature once the file is downloaded. Similar features are already available while using say Gmail on the web browser or even downloading a file from WhatsApp's desktop app.

Shield access policy customization - inclusion/exclusion list for downloading files
Interested in an inclusion/exclusion list FOR downloading files, as part of a Shield access policy.
Ex: If Owners/Co-Owners/Editors are OK to download they want control the file types they can download. I know you can control this by just creating a separate classification and policy but that could cause too many of them. Better to create an filetype inclusion list

Link to searchable files on a website.
Want a public facing search function that can be deployed on websites with Box as the back end.
Use Case: I have several hundred newsletters in an archive in PDF format. I want a public facing link or window that the public can see without having to login into Box.
The Box embed widget gives me a window BUT is not a good user experience. They don't need to be dragging one cloud onto another or logging into box.
Box is great for storing and updating these files--but not for a public facing display.1 vote -

Function to display a list of files that failed to upload when uploading large amounts of content
In the course of work, there are many opportunities to upload folders or large numbers of files at once.
Some files may fail to upload, but the Box Web screen does not allow you to extract information about only the files that failed to upload.
This means that it can be time-consuming to identify files that have failed to upload among a large number of uploaded files.
Please implement a function to display a list of contents that have failed to upload.
If it is difficult to display the list on the screen, please implement a function to export…2 votes
