  1. file transfer status

    One of our users recently asked the following:

    "The Transfers pane in the Box drive alert window rarely shows any file
    names, even when files are actively being transferred. Please change the
    Transfers window so that it shows a rolling list of all transferring and
    recently transferred files and a time remaining estimate. The list
    should be rolling and not clear when the transfers are done. It should
    always be possible to see the last 5-10 files that Box Drive has
    transferred."

    I'm not sure if this is a reasonable request, but thought I'd share it here.

    With the release of 2.53 and 2.54, the macOS UI's transfers pane has a host of improvements that should address much of the comments in here. Windows side changes still being evaluated.

  2. Combine Executed Signed Docs and Signature Log

    Currently, when you send a document to be signed, the signed executed document and signature log are saved as separate files. It would be nice if the signed doc and signature log were one document and saved as an updated version of the original document. Currently, it turns 1 document into 3 documents, and clutters up the folders.

  3. We want users to be able to output a "folder and file" report for each folder.

    (Japanese follows English)
    Currently, only administrators can output the "Folders and Files" report.
    We would like users with editor permissions for the target folder to be able to output a "Folder and File" report for each folder.
    At that time, We would like to be able to select whether the report will be output to that folder or the output destination.

    現在、「フォルダとファイル」レポートは管理者しか出力できません。
    対象のフォルダに対し編集者権限を持つユーザーが、フォルダ単位で「フォルダとファイル」レポートを
    出力できるようにしてほしいです。
    その際レポートの出力先はそのフォルダ内か、出力先を選択できると望ましいです。

  6. For files, folders and users name, we need to use U+10000 - U+10FFFF in Unicode characters.

    Today, we can only use BMP in Unicode characters on Box.

    However, Windows OS supports many Unicode characters(eg, emoji), besides BMP, so this can be a problem in data migration from a file servers to Box.

    Also, in CJK, Unicode characters other than BMP are used in personal name, so we consider this to be a big issue.

    We hope to have many Unicode characters available everywhere on Box.

  8. Dragging files or folders out of BOX makes a copy

    With the recent update to BOX Drive, when you move something from BOX to your computer it removes it from BOX. It used to make a copy by default. We use BOX as a shared file server and this change allows for accidental deletion.

    Can you please add the ability to make this copy rather than move the file, only when moving out of BOX onto the computer or an outside volume?

  10. Metrics for tracking most oft-accessed files on a Box Drive shared among a team, department, etc.

    OneDrive's tallying of the number of times particular files are accessed and by whom helped direct organization efforts for cloud storage and understand staff behavior. The Box Drive does not have a similar quantitative feature, as far as I know. Possible to create such a feature, to track who, when, and how often particular files and folders are used by staff permitted access? Thank you!

  11. remove image files from people's HTML email signature

    The ability to have small image files removed from people's HTML email signature. It would be nice to have a way to filter these out or add a workflow that deletes these.

  12. Fix file/folder size, counts, dates and storage

    I'd like to preface this by saying that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not an idea. Even so, Box suggested we post this here to get others to chime in and say that this should be fixed.

    This is a problem that's been around for at least 1.5 years.

    Often, when an account's folders and files are transferred to someone else, the account from which the data was transferred still shows something greater than 0 bytes owned. This becomes a problem for deleting that user, because we can't be sure if the transfer worked, and we…

  14. I would like to be able to view the history of previous versions of files that are compatible with the Excel online previewer on the Box Web

    内容:
    We would like to be able to check the contents of Excel files that are compatible with the Excel online previewer on the preview screen by clicking on the older version, just like Word, pptx, and other Office files.
    The only way to check the contents of the old version is to download or make the old version the latest version, which is very inconvenient.
    Achieving this functionality will increase operational efficiency and convenience.

    [タイトル]Excelオンラインプレビューアーに対応したファイルの旧バージョン履歴をBox Webのプレビュー上で閲覧できるようにしてほしい。

    Excelオンラインプレビューアーに対応したExcelファイルでも、Wordやpptx等のOfficeファイル同様に旧バージョンをクリックすることでプレビュー画面上から中身を確認出来るようにしたい。
    旧バージョンの中身を確認する場合はダウンロードか旧バージョンを最新バージョンにする方法しかなく非常に不便です。
    この機能を実現することで業務効率や利便性が上がります。

  15. Have a Sync Now option for files

    Box Sync on Windows 10 consistently fails to sync, but claims to be up to date. I can see the actual current version on the website, by my local persistently stays several versions back. Fixing that would be great, but also just giving a way to say, "I know you think you're up to date, but sync anyway" would make this less frustrating.

  16. Microsoft Teams iOS app does not open the specific Box folder.

    We're having an issue with Microsoft Teams app on iPhone - Box files plug-in within More tab. It is very possible that this Box Files button in Teams is not designed to link to the specific channel Box folder we have chosen, and instead is designed to redirect us to the All Files page "https://account.box.com/folder/0". On Windows PC, Teams app opens the the specific channel Box folder we have chosen.

  18. Folder Level Setting to Enable Office Online

    It would be outstanding if Box could enable some intelligence around editing office documents, and/or have a switch you could set to only allow designated files to be editable via Office Online. That way no one could accidentally step on changes to a file that someone else made, or cause a conflict which has to be manually resolved. This would be a real big win. And when I say designated files, I mean in a folder not across Box for all of us certain file type.
