  2. Ability to sync folders across multiple users

    My corporation has several regionally-controlled folders containing information that should be the same. Right now, that information has to be manually copied and/or reconciled to ensure the data is the same. I would like the ability to connect multiple folders from different users to ensure that the data is always synchronized across the regionally-controlled folders.

  3. Freeing up space with Box Sync

    I would like the ability to save the Box sync folder onto a different drive on my PC. Currently, it's on the C drive, but it fills up FAST, so it would be incredibly beneficial for me to save it to another drive on it.

    Barring that, I'd like the ability to free up space on my Box folder so that it's only on my machine when I need it.

  5. Remove Box-branded Box Sync folder icon in MacOS Finder Sidebar

    I just want a normal-looking, unbranded folder in my Finder Sidebar.

    The current Finder Sidebar shows a rather ugly eye-sore of a logo in place of a plain folder icon, with no way to disable this customization so it pollutes every Finder window. I've tried pasting a new folder icon onto the Box Sync folder in the "Get Info" dialog box as is customary on MacOS for ALL other applications, but Box doesn't respect that icon (or the user's wishes).

  6. Unable to sync automatically

    Cannot log in with my current Box account, and my MacBook does not sync automatically with my iPhone, I think Dropbox is better than you.

  7. Install Box Sync on PC using existing Box Sync folder

    You have a published workaround here:

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043691074-Box-Sync-Displays-Message-Select-Another-Folder-Location-

    This only describes how to download the Box Sync data all over again. I do not have high-speed internet, so this would take weeks to do.

    All I did was change out my storage drive. All of the Box Sync data was copied exactly, so all 50GB of data is still there. I just need to have it see that the files in the current folder are the same (you can use the filename, location, and file size). Syncing the file's timestamp with my PC would be a nice feature, as my PC…

  13. scan .bak files

    For heaven's sake allow box to scan .bak files - it's practically the only reason I'm using box! What's the point of a cloud back up system that won't back up backup files!!

  15. Folder created on mobile does not sync automaticaly on desktop with Box Sync

    Solution : automatically sync folder created on mobile on desktop, or at least allow to activate syncing on desktop from the mobile app (this option is only available online - under sub / sub menu - but not in mobile menu)

  18. Sync from parent of View Path Collab

    Currently cannot sync a folder from the parent of a View Path Collab. We want to use the API to add collaborations and keep the context but also let our users Sync.
