Support Kerberos on Macs
Box currently supports NTLM V2 on Windows Box Sync, but only support NTLM v1 (with a keychain entry) on Mac Box Sync. Additionally, Kerberos is supported in the login flow (via the embedded browser) but not for the actual network requests that Box Sync makes.
As such, some organizations would like Box Sync to fully support Kerberos as an authentication method for the login process AND for all network requests.
Request: Add full authentication support for Kerberos.

Outlook: Option for Attaching Actual File (Not the Shared Link)
Allow user to attach actual file (not the shared link) when using the 'Attach from Box' button within Outlook (via Box for Office).
Currently when a user uses the 'Attach from Box' button in Outlook, they're only able to add the file's shared link to the email. There are various scenarios where users (still) need to attach the actual file instead.
2 votesThis does not align with our product philosophy. Users can attach a shared link with download permissions.
I would be interested to hear the use case for attaching files directly to the email.

Auto-update Python
The version of Python that is installed with Sync doesn't auto update. Concerned about security vulnerability.
0 votesPython 2.7 and 3 are both supported releases. Python 2.7 will be supported through 2020.
We review and update our python version periodically through Sync auto-update. We currently use python 2.7.9 with Box Sync. We plan to update to the latest version (2.7.11+).
We only install Python to Box specific location on Windows (%ProgramFiles%\Box\Box Sync) and Mac (inside Box Sync.app bundle). Other applications will not use our python installation.
We reviewed the CVE list of Python and there’s no CVE that requires immediate update from 2.7.9.

Add "Cancel" Button to dialog window when removing a folder from Box Sync
When deleting a folder through Box Sync, a confirm deletion window pops up and warns the user that deleting the folder will remove it from all collaborator accounts but unsyncing will remove the folder from their computer only.
It then only gives the option to click the buttons "unsync" or "delete". User thinks there should be an option to cancel to better account for user errors.

Bookmarked items do not sync and are not visible in the Sync client
We use Box bookmarks to avoid content duplication. Since we also use Sync, it is a confusing end-user experience

Support Routing to 2 (Or More) Proxies for Network Traffic
Currently Box Sync only supports routing traffic through 1 proxy (identified via leveraging the PAC file on the computer)
We have advanced network traffic routing schemes in place and need the ability to route Box traffic selectively to 2 (or more) proxies based on:
-Bandwidth/volume of traffic (i.e., routing uploads/downloads through a different proxy than all other Box traffic)
-Security (i.e., monitoring and visibility requirements for some traffic but not other traffic)
0 votesWe have no feature work planned for Box Sync.

Customize 'Download Box Edit' URL for Companies that Restrict Users from Installing Software
We restrict user computers and do not allow end users to download software to their machines (even if that software installation does not require admin rights). As such, the 'download Box Edit' prompt in the Webapp when a user tries to use Box Edit for the first time (when Box Edit isn't previously installed) is very confusing as users will click 'download' but then the installation will fail.
REQUEST: 'Customize' the 'Download Box Edit' button, including choosing a custom URL that the button points to (for example, 'we have an internal software download catalog - I want the 'download Box…

Outlook: Add Ability to Save the Email Itself (the .msg file or a PDF of it), Not Just the Attachment
There are use cases (given Box's retention capabilities) for users to save Outlook emails themselves (.msg files) to Box using Box for Office. The Box for Office integration currently only allows the user to 'Save Attachments to Box', which doesn't save the actual email itself.
SPECIFIC REQUEST: Adjust the 'Save Attachments to Box' button/feature to include an option to save the email itself (as a PDF or the .msg file) to Box along with the attachment.
