  1. Mirror files in one location to another

    Add the ability to mirror files from one location to another. If we have /Investment/Deals/financialReport.xlsx we want to have the option to mirror it to another location such as /Investment/Investor Profiles/Axel Pina/financialreport.xlsx.

    The feature should include the file's versions. If the file is edited in location one, it should be reflected on location 2.

  2. Display the user which last authorized a Box Custom App

    Display the Admin's email who authorized a custom app on the Platform Apps Manager page (this currently shows App Name, Last Activity, Developer Email, Authorization Status, Enablement Status) or in the "View App Details" view for a custom app.

    As Primary Admins and Co-Admins can change, this would allow users/admins to quickly identifying the users/email who authorized an application. Reducing confusion or the need to run a report, when determining if an app is still needed or can be removed.

  4. Extending the Attach files as shared links functionality to Box for Outlook mobile

    Per https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195733-Understanding-Box-and-Outlook-Integration-Options, the Box for Outlook integration only supports attaching files as shared links on desktop. Requesting that this functionality extends to iOS and Android.

  5. Attach files directly in Outlook (iOS/Android) with the Box for Outlook integration

    You should be able to use the native Outlook attach file option to add Box files into Outlook emails on iOS and Android.

    It seems like a real oversight to lock down Intune and block saving to OneDrive, locally on the phone etc. and then give users a terrible experience where they try and attach a file to an email and there's no available location to get files from and instead you have to go into Box first and share the link from there.

  6. Display the person who is holding the lock.(ロックを取得している人を表示)

    Since it is not displayed who is locking the file, it is unclear who has obtained the lock. Being able to identify this will allow us to request the person holding the lock to release it.

    (in Japanese)
    ファイルをロックしている人が誰かが表示できないため誰がロックを取得しているのか分かりません。
    これが分かるようになることで、ロックしている人に解除するよう求めることができるようになります。

  7. Display deleted user name instead of Prior Collaborator name on the Activity Details

    Display the name of a previous commenter, approver or collaborator, even if the user has left the organisation. At the moment it just says 'a prior collaborator' and this is not helpful when retrospectively tracking why key business decisions were made.

  8. Ability to upload input spreadsheets to define source and target locations for Shuttle migrations

    In the admin console version of Shuttle, it can take up to 10 minutes to load accounts and folders that the migration job is planning to migrate into. This can lead to significant time to create a job and is quite manual.
    In the standalone version of Box Shuttle, you could upload a spreadsheet that includes the source location and where it would be migrated into Box. This bypassed the selection of users and folders that can take a long time for our largest customers.

  9. Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first

    Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
    When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
    On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…

  10. Ability to Name Scheduled Reports

    Add the ability to name the scheduled report. Currently the report is delivered as a csv file with the generic name of the report being run ie: "User Activity" and a date/time stamp. It would be very helpful to have the ability to type the name of the report so when it is delivered to me or my team the name is meaningful, and we readily know the content of the report. For example, if we have multiple reports scheduled, but they all arrive with the name "User Activity" we must open each one to determine what the content is…

  12. Save Microsoft Teams Recordings to Box

    When recording a call/meeting in Microsoft Teams, it defaults to using OneDrive as it's default storage. Currently the process of saving a recording is a manual process of downloading the recording, and uploading to Box. I'd like an option to default recording data to Box instead.

  13. File Open Integrations

    When opening a file using Excel Online, it opens in a new tab in the browser. This new tab has no Forward or Back sites available which allows for easy navigation of the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.

    However, when you do the same thing for a Google Sheet, it opens in the same tab as the Box folders. That means the site has Back options. This makes it incredibly difficult to navigate the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.

    Can we have some consistency with the file integrations?

  15. When adding group members via the API, duplicate requests are added when the same request is made at almost the same time.

    The Box representative told us that this is a rare event that occurs only when there are overlapping requests at the same time, and that there are no plans to correct the current behavior.
    If multiple requests arrive within a short period of time but do not overlap in time, a 409 (Conflict) error is usually returned for all but the first request.
    Therefore, it is considered to be an event that occurs only when a request is made with very short timing.

    For example, this is expected to occur when the same command is used to add a group…

  16. Box Shield - ability to save Shield Alert details to MS Word and PDF document

    There should be a button on face of Box Shield Alert that enables user to save the alert to Word or as PDF. This can then be forwarded to line managers if details are requested to challenge or discuss with their staff

  17. External collaboration Allow list per group

    We would like to limit the external collaboration to allowed domains for a specific group not the entire tenant.
    This is useful when the subsidiary company, especially a financial company, can have a limited external collaboration for security reason.

  18. Add information in “File Properties” to metadata

    Currently the information in the “File Properties” (owner, created date, retention policy exp, size) is all siloed and unusable for anything but viewing in preview. Adding that information as normal Box metadata will make it available for reporting, sorting, as a policy trigger, and consumable by Crooze for tasks like retention policy expiry reports.

  19. When a folder lock is performed, the result must be output to the event log.

    Even if a folder is locked using the Folder Lock API, the operation log is not output to event information.
    We are having trouble determining if a folder lock has really been applied unless it is output in the event information that the folder lock has been applied.

    Folder Lock API を用いてフォルダをロックしても、操作ログがイベント情報に出力されません。
    フォルダロックしたことがイベント情報に出力されないと本当にロックがかけられたのかどうかが判断できず困っている。

  20. Sidebar Display

    Everytime I open a link or new instance of Box, the side bar automatically opens up. It takes room on the screen and the information isn't useful at all (I don't need to be constantly aware of who the members of the group are). Please make this list show up elsewhere when it's necessary to view who users are.
