  1. Problem with workbook link in Excel

    we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
    Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:

    C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    To

    api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername

    thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.

    How can we solve this problem?

    Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
    Starting Configuration:
    BOX drive installed: YES
    Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
    In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......

  3. back up

    Allow Box to automate back up to either a hard drive or 3rd party location automatically, give the recent concerns about CrowdStrike crash and how that stopped so many workdays, we want to protect ourselves if that were to ever happen in Box!

  4. Ability to access public links/folders that aren't shared with a specific account via the Box desktop application

    Sometimes a client sends a public link for a folder that is +100 GB. Downloading through the browser is obviously much slower than using the desktop application, but if the folder has not been shared directly with my account, I cannot access the folder via the app. Please implement a way of accessing public links via the Desktop application.

  5. Ability to make Excel scripts available in "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring"

    Currently, due to OneDrive for Business requirements, scripts are not available when coauthoring is enabled in Box.
     reference information:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/scripts/overview/excel#requirements:~:text=scripts%20from%20scratch.-,Requirements,Internet%20connectivity%20with%20connected%20experiences%20enabled.,-Note

    In business, Excel scripting is a frequently used function.
    "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring" is enabled, and the ability to use Office scripts is desired even when Box is used as storage.

    <Box for Microsoft Office の共同編集でExcelのスクリプトを利用可能にする機能>

    現在、OneDrive for Businessの要件があるため、Boxで共同編集が有効になっているとスクリプトが利用できません。
     参考:https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/office/dev/scripts/overview/excel#requirements

    業務上、Excelのスクリプトは頻繁に使用される機能です。
    Box for Microsoft Office の共同編集が有効になっており、Boxをストレージとして使用している場合でもOfficeスクリプトを使用できることが望まれます。

  10. Download Collaboration

    Uploading a file from a web browser
    I would like to have the ability to automatically download a file uploaded from a web browser on a different computer.
    This will greatly help in improving the efficiency of indirect collaboration with other software.

    1. upload a file (csv) from a browser (chrome) to Box on computer A. 2.
    2. PC "B" (Win11) has a software program installed on it, and the csv file is imported by the software.
    3. The PC in environment B is always connected to the Internet while it is running, so we would like the uploaded file to be automatically…

  12. I would like a slideshow functionality integrated into Box, similar to Google Slides

    I want to host a repository of pictures/videos and have them played in a slideshow automatically, without the need to click the arrow to display the folder contents.

  14. Ability for users to set sorting preference

    Box is not longer default showing files by file name. This requires resorting of files every time I open a folder, which is hundred of times a day.

    Please enable users to set the default sorting order for folders or restore the prior defaults

  15. status completion report when copying a file to another folder

    Can we get a status completion report when copying a file to a new folder? Sometimes all the permissions don't copy over straight away, causing confusion. for example, I was unable to rename a file I just copied. I waited a while and then it worked.

  17. Make an app for Windows like Dropbox for S

    My employer blocks the installation of software like Dropbox and Box, but I use them for everyday work. There's a Dropbox for S app -- can Box release a similar Windows app? I believe there might've been one but it's been discontinued.

  18. I want to be able to open a folder in File Explorer from Box.com

    I've used Dropbox previously, and there's a feature on the browser version that allows you to open a files containing folder in File Explorer on Windows or Finder on OSX. For Box, the only options to open something on your computer from the web version is with the file's native app. It would improve our workflow significantly if we were able to open a file folder on our computer from the Box.com browser.

    Thanks!

  19. Not delete data flagged as "make available offline" when Box Drive is closed/logged out

    Currently if data is generated and saved locally on a machine into the Box Drive folder, exiting or logging out of the Box Drive application will delete the local data on the machine, even if the folder it is saved into is marked to "make available offline".

    We are a small physics research laboratory currently trying to migrate our data collection and storage from Dropbox to Box. We were disheartened to discover that if data is generated on a local machine, by collecting and saving it directly into the Box Drive folder, say, and Box Drive is logged out (by…

  20. To be able to TAG documents using keyboard shortcut

    I would like to be able to assign shortcuts to functions in box both in the dashboard view and in the document review. Tagging a document takes too many steps and too many mouse clicks to do which defeats the purpose of using tags. A TAG icon on the right side menu along with the metadata icon would also be nice to have to be able to TAG documents faster.
