Sometimes I want to reorder / organize / rename files before syncing.

Currently, Drive relies on event poll for updating cached contents, and if events (updates on web) are not picked up by Drive in a timely manner, then local contents get outdated (out of sync with web). As a workaround, we want the ability to force sync of a selected folder (maybe add a right click menu to force sync/refresh cache).

The data edited by myself on the Box Drive will be reflected, but I would like the synchronization to be updated in real time for data edited/saved by other users.

I am trying to generate separate shared links for a large number of files (1000+) under a folder, and map them to their original file name, so I can share these files separately.

But we can only do that either by the whole folder (not what we want), or by selecting files one by one (too time-consuming).

We hope there will be a function when you share a folder, we can also have the option to generate separate share links for each of the files under the folder, and a corresponding mapping file is generated automatically.

Just wondering you may develop 'My Collections' function on Box Drive.

Ability to open a file from UI Elements Open With with Box Edit without being prompted to Approve/Deny to proceed.

Currently, every time a file is opened from UI Elements, Box Edit displays the prompt and asks the user to Approve/Deny before the user can start locally opening and editing the file. This adds friction to user experience, and we want the option to not display this prompt and auto-approve the file open from UI Elements

With Enhanced Locking on Box Drive now launched for Windows (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063653693-Box-Drive-v2-21-Release-Notes), it'll be great to have the same experience, i.e. opening a file will prompt the user to lock the file and auto-unlock the file when closing the file, for Mac users.

This way all users, no matter what OS they use, can have the same Enhanced Locking experience when working with files via Box Drive.

When using BoxDrive, sometimes the folder or file actually exists, but the message "This folder is empty" is displayed.
When opening a folder, I want you to incorporate the logic to judge whether it is empty and display "This folder is empty" or "Searching". If it says it's empty, you'll be checking Box.com. If it is displayed that it is being searched, a simple refresh is enough, such as transitioning to one parent folder and returning..

Add auto-lock/unlock feature in Box Drive or provide a configuration tool

In Box Drive v2.21, it is possible to enable the ability to automatically lock/unlock files when they are opened in Box Drive by modifying the registry.
However, it is difficult for end users to modify the registry, so we would like to see Box Drive include the feature to automatically lock/unlock files, or provide a configuration tool (such as a batch file for registry modification) to modify the registry.

A global Box customer is looking to disable MFO (Marking for Offline) for a selected users.
This would be a "symmetrical" counter-option to the existing "enable for select users", and also similar to how some other features can be managed within Box Admin Console, making the MFO options more consistent with broader Box experience for admins.

Refresh function in Box Drive

Currently, it is necessary to logout/login to clear the cache and errors, but this is troublesome.
I would like to be able to do this with the touch of a button.
This is expected to improve the efficiency of our business.

Box Driveのリフレッシュ機能

現状ではログアウト/ログインしてキャッシュやエラーをクリアする必要がありますが、これが面倒です。
これをボタン一つでできるようにしてほしいです。
これにより業務の効率化が期待できます。

Allow users to choose to lock or not lock the read-only configuration file instead of automatically locking it.

It also prevents the read-only attribute from being automatically released when auto-unlocked.

I don't know if it's just me, or some problem with the privacy etc settings that have been a moving target with OSX lately, but after my latest reboot on a fully updated MacBook I was greeted with a popup from Box Drive saying it is now fully MacOS 12 compatible, and lo and behold, my /Users/app/Box directory is gone. I can only access Box files from the Explorer, but not the command line. I never looked into what the Box drive was exactly, a link, a mountpoint, no idea, but I miss it badly.

Currently, BoxDrive works with AutoLockUnlock=1 as below.

1. When we open a read-only settings(Windows OS file property), it is locked automatically.
2. And then, when we close the file, the read-only setting is gone.

Please improve as below.

1. When we open a read-only settings(Windows OS file property), it is not locked automatically.
2. And then, when we close the file, the read-only setting keeps.

Best,

I want the lock to come off properly after Save As.(BoxDrive)

If you save a file to a folder in Box Drive using "Save As" in the Office app and then close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
If I close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
The lock is not automatically removed when the application is closed.

After saving the file, other users are not able to edit the file, and this is interfering with my work. I would like to see this fixed.

名前をつけて保存後にロックが正常に外れるようにして欲しい(BoxDrive)

Officeアプリの「名前を付けて保存」でBox Driveのフォルダにファイルを保存し、
すぐにアプリを閉じると、新しく作成されたファイルにロックが残ってしまいます。
アプリを閉じても自動的には解除されません。
保存後に他のユーザーがファイルを編集することが出来ず業務に支障をきたしているため
修正をして欲しいです。

I hope the Enhanced lock/unlock experience, which is currently only available for Office files, be made available for CAD files and others as well.
