  1. Bring back previous method of highlighting files

    Having to click on the checkbox to the right of files is FAR less intuitive than being able to click anywhere on the body of the file "line." It was much easier and more efficient to be able to just click and shift/ctrl click to highlight multiple files.

  2. I want to be able to check the number of contents including file versions

    The only way to check the number of contents, including the number of versions, is by visual inspection at this time.
    It is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to just visually check the number of versions as the hierarchy increases.
    Therefore, we would like to have the ability to easily check the number of all versions, even when the number of contents is large.
    Example:You can make it the output target of the report, etc.

    バージョン数を含むコンテンツ数を確認する場合、現時点では目視で確認する方法しかありません。
    階層が多くなることでバージョン数を目視で確認するだけでは非常に手間となり時間が掛かります。
    そのため、コンテンツ数が多い場合でもすべてのバージョン数を簡単に確認できる機能が欲しい。
    例:レポートの出力対象にしていただく、など

  4. Box Mobile - need to "Add Comment" to a photo at time of capture

    Need ability to apply a comment or description to a photo when it is taken if "Review photo after capture" setting is on. This was part of Box Capture functionality. With Box Mobile, currently have to take the photo and then navigate to Capture History, then locate photo, open it, select comment, and begin typing - that's a lot of taps :)

    Quick access to the File Information - Description would be preferred over Comments because you are able to hover over the "i" tool tip and read whatever text was entered against the image file without having to preview…

  5. Feature to retrieve a list of apps added to a managed user account

    Currently there is no ability for tenant administrators to manage the apps that users are adding.
    At a given point in time, we request the ability to get a list of app addition statuses in order to understand which apps are being added by managed users.

    (Japanese)
    <アカウント追加されているアプリの一覧が取得できる機能>
    現在テナント管理者がユーザーが追加しているアプリを管理できる機能がありません。
    ある時点において管理対象ユーザーが追加しているアプリをまとめて把握するために、アプリの追加状況の一覧を取得できる機能をリクエストします。

  6. Delete user without transferring content when using legal hold

    【Background】
    1. When "Legal Hold" is ON but no "Retention Policy" set
    2. When I try to delete a user that is not related to the legal hold above, they need to transfer the content to another user.

    【Request】
    Since it is a user that is not affected by the "Legal Hold", I would like to be able to use that user without transferring the content, which is the behaviour when there is no Governance setting.

  7. Automated File renaming (at scale) - Programmatic creation of workflows

    When a file is moved to any folder called “#Archive”, the file should be renamed with a prefix of “OLD_”

    For example: I have a file called “mywordfile.docx” I now want to archive this file, so I drag it into a folder call “#Archive”. Box Automation should then rename my file to “OLD_mywordfille.docx”

    Problem statement
    The box automation trigger “when file moved to folder” requires an explicit folder path. Meaning I would need to configure a rule per “#Archive” folder within our folder structure. We have many. So, manually setting up relay for every single #Archive folder is not a…

  8. User Classification

    Our organization uses Box to manage our controlled documentation. To access this information people, need to meet certain criteria to access certain types of documents. Box is great for classifying documents, but we are looking for a way to classify users to make it easy to know if we are able to share a specific document with a specific user. We would like to be able to add a property, tag, or some other identifier to a user's profile that would allow us to classify a user as a specific type. We would then like this classification to become a…

  9. MFA option to be TOTP or SMS or Email

    When the MFA option is released currently the option is:
    1. TOTP
    2. TOTP or SMS or Email.

    Can you make it a check list so we can enable the one we want?
    For example, I only want TOTP and SMS.

  10. Instant Clipboard Copying for generated 'Share' links

    I think it would be a good idea to have feature parity with the Google Drive sharing experience which immediately copies your share link to your clipboard when the permissions settings popover appears.

  11. Change "Recents" list functionality

    If a folder is shared with a user, the user sees all files in that folders in his recent list - no matter if the user has accessed the file himself, or the file was accessed by another user where the folder was shared with as well.
    This doesn't make sense from my point of view. Especially in larger teams every day multiple files are generated and which the user never touches.

    Can you please change the functionality of the recent list in a way, that only files appear is the list which have been accessed by the user itself…

  12. Unsubscribe from notification on folder / file level

    Our organisation (ad agency, 200+ staff) works for 70+ customers. The customers are assigend to teams. In Box, every customer has a project folder, and a team is assigned to a folder (with editor rights).
    But not all members of a team work for all clients of a team, and even if the work for the respective customer, they do not participate at all folder/files of a customer. Regards notification this means that all team members are spammed with notifications for clients they don't work for and files or folder they never participated on.

    I would mean a huge admin…

  13. Display warning message on accidental uploads to specific folders

    If a file is accidentally uploaded to a specific folder (viewer privileges granted) using BoxDrive, I would like the upload process to be stopped or a warning message to be displayed. Currently, files are displayed as if they were uploaded to the computer (locally) as a cache.

    BoxDriveを利用して特定のフォルダ(ビューアー権限付与)へファイルを誤ってアップロード した場合にアップロード処理を停止or警告メッセージを表示して欲しい。 現状、パソコン(ローカル)上へファイルがキャッシュとしてアップロードされたように表示されてしまう。

  14. Add "Like" button to comments

    I would like to "like" comments on the preview so that is is easier to show that I have checked the comment without typing a new comment to say I have checked it.
    We are now getting more use to using reactions from Slack/Teams that it would be nice to react with a "like" or a thumbs up reaction.

    We are planning on adding the ability to resolve comments in the future, but do not have the ability to like comments as part of the roadmap.


    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  15. Comments and notifications for @ mentions

    When @ mentioning a colleague in a document, the email notification not only reaches the recipient, but also all colleagues who are shared in the folder. How can that be changed? Greetings and thanks

  16. Collaboration Expiry notification to Folder Owner

    When setting the Collaboration Expiry period, only the users effected receive an email informing the termination.
    I would like to the Folder/File Owners to receive it too so that they can extend the collaboration when necessary before the collaboration gets terminated.

  17. Collaboration Email Wording

    The current wording of the collaboration email sent to users can cause confusion due to the name of the sender appearing in the "From" address. Recipients are not noticing the sender’s actual email address and assuming when they reply to the invitation, sent to them by [insert friendly name, e.g., Bob Smith], that their reply was received by Bob Smith.

    The originating invitation sender’s name is included in the Subject line and body of the invitation, can the “friendly name” be removed from the From line? Can additional text be added to the From address that includes an all caps…

  18. GeoIP Conditional Access

    I'd like to see Box adding GeoIP filtering so that specified countries cannot access.
    This is a standard we do through Office 365 where we don't even allow login attempts for most countries.

    We also have an exceptions list via IP address for safety to allow our office IP(s) to also access in addition to GeoIP filtering.

  19. Allow exceptions for users/groups when setting shared link expiration at org level

    We have auto-expiry and prevent users from modifying the expiration. We want to allow exceptions to either user/group/specific folder so we could have permanent links for storing files for web or other projects.

  20. Separate folder move and copy function

    As far as i understand, the move and copy folder function in Box Web is combined from a role perspective. That means a user must have Co-Owner rights to move a folder but also to copy a folder. I agree that moving a folder means deleting the folder on the source location which may need elevated role. But copying a folder only needs read access on the source folder. So it would be great to separate these two functions and make the copy function available to users who have editor role on the target folder and have at least previewer…
