  1. Microsoft Office

    When collaborating on Office documents shared via Box we're unable to track changes. It would be nice to have this enabled. Essentially the same functionality as if we were working within Sharepoint.

  2. About the "Restrict collaboration to company" setting

    Request
    Please add the item "Limit collaboration within the tenant" in the folder settings to the following location.

    [Management console > Enterprise settings > Content and sharing > Content collaboration]

    ■ Background
    Currently, the company definition of the per-folder setting "Restrict collaboration to company" refers to:

    ・Accounts created with the domain registered in the tenant
    ・Accounts belonging to tenants

    The "company definition" of the shared link can be customized from the management console, but it is unnatural that the internal collaboration cannot be defined.
    By arranging this function on the tenant side and controlling it by the administrator, it will…

  3. File criteria exclusion list for Box Shield classification policies

    When setting up classification policies, Omnicell, Inc., would like to be able to create a list of custom terms to exclude, in addition to the existing ability to designate file criteria that will trigger application of a classification label. This would reduce the number of documents that will incorrectly have a classification applied when auto-classification is enabled. For example, Omnicell has a lot of content with dummy PHI in their environment - this content is allowed to be stored in Box and should not be classified; however, they also want to protect actual PHI that may be stored in Box,…

  4. About modifying storage values in the User Details report

    <About modifying storage values in the User Details report>
    Just like the storage value of Insights in the Admin console has been corrected, we request that the user details report will also be corrected to display more correct values.
    Due to the UI change, the Insights storage in the management console now displays a relatively correct value, but the user details report has not been corrected and is now showing a lower value.
    As a result, there is a difference between the storage value in Insights and the total storage value output in the user details report.

    <ユーザーの詳細レポートのストレージの値の修正について>
    管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージ値の修正がされたように、ユーザー詳細レポートもより正しい値が表示されるよう修正をお願いします。
    UI変更に伴い管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージは比較的正しい値が表示されるようになったが、ユーザーの詳細レポートでは修正されておらず少なく表示されています。…

  5. Ability to see who locked a file

    identify who locked a file within Box Drive. If there is a file locked, it would be helpful to show the collaborator who has locked the file.

  6. Functionality to embed and directly edit Excel in Box Note.

    When a shared link is included in Box Note, it is possible to embed the preview of Box's interface. However, I request the ability to directly edit an Excel file when a shared link for Excel is included.

    While Box Note does have a feature to insert tables, it inevitably falls short in functionality compared to Excel. Enabling direct online editing would allow for the maximum utilization of Box Note's collaborative editing capabilities.

    BoxNoteにExcelを埋め込み表示して直接編集できる機能

    BoxNoteに共有リンクを記載するとBoxのプレビュー画面の埋め込みができますが、Excelの共有リンクを記載したら直接Online編集が出来るように要望します。
    BoxNoteに表を挿入する機能はあるもののExcelと比較するとどうしても機能的に見劣りします。
    直接Online編集が出来るとBoxNoteの共同編集機能を最大限活用が出来るようになります。

  7. Gallery

    I share albums of photos which are hosted in a box folder. It would be great if the page that I share could look like a very nice gallery layout similar to a Google photos album where some photos are bigger and some are smaller. Rather than the UI of a grid layout with filename. To have an option to to view like this when sharing

  8. When a client is viewing on their phone in browser, the video should go full screen when they hold their phone horizontally.

    I have clients who view our videos on their phone everyday. I can’t control if they have the box ap or what phone/browser they use. But they should be able to view our videos full screen horizontally. Currently it will go full screen Vertically, but if they move their phone horizontally it is a weird zoomed in look that is not full screen.

  10. Feature to lock the signed document in Box automatically

    Hi - Once a document is signed by all parties and when the signed version of document is generated, is there a way in settings we can make the signed document to be locked.

    Once the document is signed, I can see the option to lock the document. Wondering if this could be done through settings and not manually every time a document is signed.

    There should be a settings on the Box sign, which could make this automatic.

  11. Content Manager should be content-based instead of user-based

    Request from healthcare customer: Instead of Content Manager being organized by user, then showing their folder structures and content within that user, Content Manager should be a direct reflection of the organization's folder structure in a tree view that allows the admin to have an understanding of what is in their tenant, root level folders, and then if you click on an individual folder, you can see the corresponding users and content within.

  12. default file request webpage for child folders

    We would like to create a default File Request Webpage Template that automatically applies to every folder we create under the parent folder rather than having to Copy the File Request Webpage.

    We expect the root parent "Request File Webpage" to be the default for all child folders created new under the parent folder...

    We want the exact same layout and fields on every "Request File Webpage" for every child folder under the parent.
    Not the link, but the Webpage layout and fields.

    We are hoping, at minimum, we can setup a Default or Template that can be applied every…

  15. Box Status site improvement

    1. Adding status of each region on Box Status site(https://status.box.com/) , because currently an outage impacting only users in a specific zone/region doesn’t appear on the status site. (e.g. customers who are in Asia region are unable to download/upload/preview.)

    2. Clarifying the definition of impact. "Incident Response and Communications" article (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697394-Our-Approach-to-Incident-Response-and-Communications) has the guideline of customer impact. However, definitions and examples of each category are not clear enough.

  16. want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
    However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.

    It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.

    Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい

    Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
    しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。

    ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
    ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。

  17. Can't insert video from the file in PowerPoint Online in Box

    It is currently impossible to insert a video from the local file in PowerPoint Online via Box.
    The only options are "Insert from stock video" and "Insert online video".
    However, this feature is present in native Microsoft 365 PowerPoint Online in SharePoint/OneDrive.

    The feature set in Office Online apps should be the same in Box and MS. Otherwise, MS Office Online in Box can't completely replace SharePoint.

  19. collections

    Business Goal:
    A Collection provides the users the ability to view files from different locations across BOX in a single view, it would be great to provide them the ability to manage the files there as well,

    Currently they can right-click and download the files, but no more than that.

    Giving them the ability to manage them, i.e. move, copy and share the entire collection would be a massive positive change within the BOX platform extending the functionality to better manage the content.

  20. Notification that someone you assigned a Task did not complete it by the deadline you set

    Often I assign Tasks with deadlines. While the person receiving the task gets notifications that the deadline is approaching, I do not get a notification if they did not complete the Task on time.
    This would be extremely helpful to know that Tasks have not been completed so we can follow up.
