  2. 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

  4. 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)

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

    Thank you for providing this feedback! We don’t believe there is a strong enough use case to pursue this.

  14. Allow Auto-Provisioning from Box for Office App

    Currently, users who get Box for Office pushed to their computer (so they see the Box buttons in Outlook/Word/Excel/PowerPoint) but haven't gone to the Web App to auto-provision their account end up not being able to log into Box for Office as the Box for Office login flow does NOT support auto-provisioning.

    Request: Allow a user to auto-provision their account from any endpoint, including Box for Office.

  16. File Type Support: .nd Files

    Have .nd file types supported on the Box Sync product. We use .nd files not for QuickBooks files, but for models we build. We would like there to be an option to upload these types of files through the sync interface.

  17. Ability to Suppress Login Screen from Popping Up

    Often times customers want to deploy the Box desktop apps, including Box Sync, prior to users actually being able to log in and create their accounts. Currently, Box Sync auto-starts upon startup to a user's computer, which causes the Box Sync login window to constantly appear.

    This request is to provide a simple way for admins deploying the apps to suppress that login page until a later point in time.

    This is technical not feasible. Microsoft has not enabled the APIs that we need to leverage on mac.

  19. The ability to schedule when Sync updates files/folders

    Our user would like to be able to sync content only when they need to, to reduce their memory usage throughout the day when they are working.
