Notify users when a folder-path download will exceed 256 characters
When a user downloads a folder-path that exceeds the Windows 256 character limit, alongside the standard folder structure, Box creates a “_” folder and to hold the files with a Box shortened folder paths, so it can work-around the over-long file-paths. Since Box doesn’t tell the user what to expect, they think that the download is missing files and isn’t functioning correctly.
To address user confusion, we want Box to add alerts about the folder and file path name limits in three places:
- When a user creates a folder name for the first time,
- When a user downloads an affected…

Secure admin only download of 'malicious' files for analysis
Admins should be able to download Box Shield tagged malware without marking the file safe for everyone. That way a security admin could download the file and scan it with their own security tools. That’s the only real way to diagnose if a file is malicious or just a false positive.
Asking us to mark it safe by chatting with the user is far from best practice

email MFA with FTP
FTP only supports SMS MFA, this is a very restricting security setting, and quite frankly is a bad idea.
PER BOX'S OWN DOCUMENTATION ( https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697154-Multi-Factor-Authentication-Set-Up-for-Your-Account):
"SMS may not be available because a user is traveling, offline, or in a country that does not support 2FA through SMS."
AS WELL AS:
"There are known SMS security vulnerabilities, such as SIM swapping."
Please allow us to use AT LEAST email MFA when uploading/downloading via FTP.

Keep track of declined documents with the comments visible.
When a document is declined, the reason why it was declined is only available in one e-mail.
It should be available on the document as well as in the web interface. I could put a comment on the document (why I wanted to reject it), and in the Reject field, but only the reason in the reject field was kept and only available in the e-mail that was received. After that, in Box SIgn, you see that the document was declined, but you d'ont know why. That is a huge limitation.6 votes -

Version history - ability to see what has changed since the last version
Ability to see what has changed since the previous version on Box web - highlighting key differences or changes to the document. Also the ability to compare 2 specific versions side by side as you can in SharePoint to see what has changed.

Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy
Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

Admin-level alert notification on certain Box Drive permission errors
Users can create folders in Box Drive at the root level. In a closed folder taxonomy, the folder does not sync and fails with permission and/or problem item errors. If a user does not address the notification (or notifications are disabled), users can continue to create content in the unsynced folders. Icon overlays are also not reliable, so this will not be discovered until the content is lost due to hardware failure or software/OS reload. Consider alerting admins of these issues via the event stream or Shield-type alerts to prevent data loss, or disabling the creation of folders this way.

Provide a sync client for Linux - like Dropbox, Nextcloud etc has.
When logging in to the shared area I've been invited to, I get a pop-up telling me to complete my set up by downloading the sync-client. But, there is no sync client for Linux to be found, at the download page.

Sender info in Relay
I would like you to add a setting for "who" went to the BoxRelay event.
For example, when managing files for the same task in the same folder, if the person in charge (uploader) and the confirmer (notification recipient) are different for each file, it would be convenient to be able to set different notification recipients according to the uploader.Thank you for your consideration.
（In Japanese）
BoxRelayのイベントで「誰が」行ったかの設定を追加してほしいです。
例えば同一フォルダで同じ業務のファイルを管理するケースで、ファイル毎に担当者（アップローダー）と確認者（通知先）が異なる場合、アップロードした人によって通知先を別々に設定できると便利になります。ご検討のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

Allow bulk action on Shield malicious content alerts
Allow bulk action on BoxShield malicious content alerts. We have seen an extremely high rate of positives. Individually marking files as safe is not scalable, and need to be able to do bulk updates.

Additional Information BoxShield Anomalous Download Alerts
Include further information within the anomalous download alert to show which application\service was used. Currently, this is only available from the user activity report, which takes a while to generate.
If the hostname and device type could be included, this would help decipher if anomalous downloads have taken place acorss multipe devices.

Box needs an ability to pause certain file uploads/transfers
When trying to upload files to meet a deadline, I sometimes have large working files using up all my transfer space. The ability to pause or stop certain files from uploading, prioritizing others would be extremely helpful. This would also be beneficial for metered connections while travelling. Thanks.

Enable Shuttle to Migrate Google-specific filetypes without converting
Currently, Shuttle uses an export feature of Google Drive's API when exporting Google Workspace documents, and this feature converts exported files into their non-Google Workspace corresponding formats (.gdoc> .docx, .gslides > .pptx, etc.). Since Box supports Google Workspace filetypes, Box should look to employ the non-public API endpoint that Google offers that can be utilized to export files in their native format without converting them.

Reporting Tools for Box Relay and Box Canvas Via Console and API/SDK
It would be nice to have a report available in the admin section for Relay and Canvas, as well as access via REST API / SDK so we can generate our own reports.

Create Relay for User Onboarding/Offboarding
I don't see Relay as a category option.....
Note, my users aren't owners of their data. They are only editors.
I have Azure AD user provisioning enabled to create and update users. As part of the user onboarding process, I would like for Relay to be able to see when:
a user has been created > create a personal folder for that user in a business unit related directory > share folder with user
a user has been disabled > move personal folder to an archived folder directory (related to their business unit)
