  2. Renaming and moving files/folders: include old and new names and locations in Enterprise Events call

    If renaming or moving a file or folder, Usage Log reports include both the new and old names, and new and old locations. The old location and old name are missing from Enterprise Events via the Content API.

    Thank you for this request! We do not plan on prioritizing this at the moment. We’ll continue to monitor demand.

  3. Add Ability to Download And/or Copy from Trash Page

    Users are interested in having a functionality added to the Trash where they would be able to either download content directly from the Trash or copy the items they would like to be restored to a new location in their Box account.

    This would be most beneficial in the use case when an admin is reviewing a user's profile that is going to be deleted. They would like to be able to review the items in the user's Trash and identify which items may need to be restored and to what location.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  4. Add folder/file path to usage log reports

    Currently, the usage log report only shows the most recent folder that it lives within, and not the entire path.

  5. Support for Macro-enabled Files

    Macro-enabled Excel files (xlsm) can be previewed in Box (albeit a little slow to generate preview), but macro-enabled Word files (docm) cannot be previewed.

    Neither document type is officially listed as a supported file type (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/What-file-types-are-supported-by-Box-s-Content-Preview/ta-p/327), so it would be expected that both work the same way (either be previewable or not).

  6. Request to increase item count per folder limit

    We would like to be able to add more than 15,000 items per folder. We are working with multi-level folders structures within our environment and anticipate having more than 15,000 items within the first level of their subfolders.

    We have an internal initiative to scale up this and several other metrics. And we have made significant progress in terms of the number of items that can be stored in a Folder. I am happy to report that our research have shown that our infrastructure can easily scale up to 1 Billion items in a single Folder.


    Since this initiative is underway, we are in the process of understanding how such a scale impacts the usability of our first party applications that sits on top of our platform. However, accessing such large number of items on a single folder via our APIs should be straightforward.


    Disclaimer: We are not yet committing that such scale limits will be available to all pricing tiers.

  7. Lock users out after x number of attempts to login

    Currently notifies admin, but we would rather lock out the user.

  8. Ability to change default collaborator level globally

    Customer is requesting the ability to change the default collaborator level upon adding a new collaborator. The default level is now Editor, but the customer wants to set the default to Viewer Uploader or something else to protect against provisioning too much access to users.

    Additionally, the customer wants to collaborate with many customers (external users) and would like to provision appropriate access to those users (preferably not Editor).

  9. Open Shared Link Controls: Only [specified roles in the folder] can create open links

    REQUEST: The ability for admins to choose which roles (Editor, Viewer Uploader, etc.) are able to create open ('people with the link') links in folder they're in.

    Currently, if you are a collaborator with permissions to create/edit a shared link, you can choose any of the 3 shared link permissions levels.

    ADMIN STORY: "I want to require that only Co-Owners in folders can create open shared links. Editors and below can create shared links, but they won't be able to chase the permission to 'people with the link."

    CONTEXT: Many large enterprises, and even smaller ones with a security focused…

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  11. Access Stats: Ability to get Access Stats programmatically per-file

    Provide an a file API endpoint to obtain Access stats similar to the functionality in the Webapp.

    Right now, we have to collect all the relevant events and do the math every time to get an accurate count. This complicates the application logic. Would be much easier to obtain the stats without having to calculate them on your own just like the UI does.

    For example having the ability to pass a field and get summary figures in the response. Having to create an event parser to do this is a high barrier to entry to get this type of…

  12. Bulk Edit - Add Ability to Change Primary Email Addresses

    Bulk Edit currently allows admins to change various settings for users, but it does not allow the admin to 'bulk edit' the primary email addresses for their users. This functionality would be handy in various scenarios, including when a company goes through an email domain change.

    Right now, customers must come to Box (Customer Success) to have us run scripts in Internal Admin to do bulk email changes as we do not have this feature natively in Bulk Edit within the Admin Console.

  13. Enable Self-Serve Creation of Metadata Templates by Non-Admins

    Customers would like a way to provide a sub-set of capabilities to their end-users to create metadata templates, without having to give them a co-admin level access to Box admin console.
