  2. Review Document button unreadable in desktop Outlook

    When a sign request email is sent, the "Review Document" button renders as a black-and-blue square without any text in the desktop Outlook client (tested on Version 2401 build 17231.20194, but widely repeatable across our company). Downloading Pictures (a common fix for Outlook formatting issues) does not fix this issue.

    Opening the same email in Outlook for Web, Outlook Mobile, Gmail, and other email clients renders the Review Document button correctly. Competitor products all render their equivalent of the Review Document button correctly in all variants of Outlook.

    Given the prevalence of Outlook in corporate environments, this makes documents sent…

  3. Preserve names when staff leaves

    Add a feature to preserve the names of departed users in the Box Activity comments and tasks and approvals instead of changing their names to "Anonymous User" or "A Prior Collaborator" to preserve records of who was involved in the approval process even if they no longer have active accounts. Additionally, approvals set up by departed users should remain visible and not disappear from the Activity box. This is important for any company using Box as a review or internal control tool.

  4. Add Box Report in the Status Site

    Inside the Status Site (https://status.box.com/), I would like "Box Report" to be added as a category to show whether the Admin reports are fully operational

  5. Changing Microsoft label (Sensitivity) in Office after enabling Co-Authoring

    After we enabled Co-Authoring, we are not able to change the Microsoft label (Sensitivity) when we open the document e.g. in Word because it is greyed out in Office and Box takes it from the Office file. It would be great if the possibility of changing the Microsoft label (Sensitivity) was enabled.

  6. make linked files visible in Finder on desktop

    Linked files are only visible in the web version of Box, and not visible on the desktop with Box Drive. This defeats the purpose of having linked files since the majority of users are accessing Box through Box Drive on their desktop. Please update!!!

  8. Hyperlinks in Box Notes that open the page when clicked

    Hyperlinked text should open the linked URL when clicked, once. Just like HTML hyperlinks have worked since 1993. If necessary to keep the current behavior, (click, open popup, click URL), you could add a "1-click" button to the popup controls to toggle the one-click behavior. A rollover-exposed control could allow return to the two-click behavior or just provide the URL/Edit/Delete options you have now.

  9. Have IP address as a searchable field on the user activity report

    Allow me to search the User Activity Report for specific IP addresses. I have anonymous downloads of files I would like to verify if the IP address has ever been used by a logged in user.

  10. Ability to map Box Groups to Information Barrier Segments

    The current requirement for uniqueness in Information Barrier segments only allows Box Admins to add individual users to segments, not user groups. This process can increase the long-term maintenance.

    Ideally, customers should be able to use attributes from Active Directory that are then synced to Box Groups. Ultimately, the Box Groups would be used to update Information Barrier segment membership automatically. If the group update breaks the requirement that a user can only belong to one segment, Box could produce an error message.

  11. Open the linked file in the notification email in Box Drive.

    When we receive a notification about a folder or file, click on the link in the email and we will be redirected to your browser.
    For users who mainly use Box Drive, being able to transition only to the Web is an added hassle.
    We would like to be able to open files linked to in the notification email in Box Drive as well.

    Box Driveを主に使っているユーザーにとってはWebにしか遷移できないないのは手間が増えます。
    通知メール内のリンク先のファイルをBox Driveでも開けるようにしてください。

    For certain users, the Google Spreadsheet timeline is not displayed on the BOX and cannot be used. Available to other users. You can edit Google Spreadsheet timelines created by other users.

  13. Copy experience

    When copying a file using a web app, if a file with the same name exists at the copy destination, (1) will be added to the file name.
    I would like it to be overwritten and updated in the same way as when uploading a file with the same name.
    Since there is a file with the same name, it would be better if there is a confirmation message asking if you want to overwrite it.

  14. We would like to see the user name added to the search for workflows in BoxRelay in the admin console as a search target.

    We would like to see the user name added to the search for workflows in BoxRelay in the admin console as a search target.

    Currently, only the workflow name can be searched in the search window in the workflow list of the Management Console.
    When an administrator disables a user's workflow from the management console, It is very difficult to pick up the target user because the workflow can only be searched by workflow name.
    Adding the user name as a search target will make it easier for the administrator to specify a user and disable the workflow.

    現在、管理コンソールのワークフロー一覧では検索窓ではワークフロー名のみ検索が可能です。…

  16. Open PowerPoint Shows (.pps, .ppsx) in Box Web

    Box should recognise additional Microsoft Office file-extensions - particularly .pps and .ppsx - which when opened, immediately runs the Powerpoint Slide Show

    Currently, it is necessary to download instead, or keep as .ppt / .pptx - which would not run the Slide Show immediately, and would enable users to edit (unnecessarily)

  17. More possibilities regarding session timeout

    We find that the session timeout possibilities are somewhat limited. The jump from 2 days to 14 days is quite big - 2 days would log everyone out during each weekend, and would result in support tickets and 14 days are quite many. Something like 4 days inbetween would be great.

  18. The ability to control deletion and restoration from the Recycle Bin.

    I would like to see the ability to control the deletion and restoration of items from the Recycle Bin by user/group in the Enterprise Settings for Content and Sharing.
    Currently, when a free user is added to a tenant, the user added can delete and restore items that they own.
    If this feature is added, we would be able to control the deletion and restoration of items by the user in question on a per-user basis.

    Enterprise設定のコンテンツと共有に、ユーザー/グループ指定でごみ箱からの削除、復元が制御できる機能を追加してほしいです。
    現在、フリーユーザーをテナントに追加した時に該当ユーザーは自身が所有しているアイテムを削除、復元できてしまいます。
    この機能が追加された場合、該当ユーザーによるアイテムの削除、復元をユーザー単位でコントロール出来ます。

  19. Schedule settings for all reports

    Currently, the following reports cannot be scheduled.
    ・Platform Activity
    ・Outbound Activity
    ・Security Logs
    ・Legal Holds
    ・Retention

    There are several types of reports that only the administrator can output, Since it takes time to output each report, automatic acquisition on a regular basis will improve operational efficiency.

    <すべてのレポートでスケジュール設定をできるようにする>
    現在以下のレポートではスケジュール設定することができません。
    ・Platform Activity
    ・外部のコラボレーション
    ・セキュリティログ
    ・リーガルホールド
    ・リテンション

    管理者しか出力できないレポートの種類が複数あり、各レポートの出力にも時間がかかるため、
    定期的に自動取得が行えれば業務効率化につながります。

    Managed Users are complaining about having their inbox swamped with notification warnings that collaborations are about to end/expire.'

    These notifications are currently enabled on enabled on Enterprise level (Enterprise ID 143896) and cannot be modified on individual Box account user level. Users are complaining about having their inbox swamped with notification warnings that collaborations are about to end/expired

    We would like to offer individual managed users the option to turn off notification warnings that a collaboration is about to end/expire on individual Box account user level. .
