  2. Open read-only in BoxDrive

    Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
    Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

    -in Japanese-
    ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
    読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。

  4. Box Drive: Safe Column Width Fixation

    The default column width is too narrow when viewing in Box Drive, and it is not possible to apply column width locking. I would like to request an improvement to this feature.

  5. Extend 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance to Box Sign APIs to enable Part 11 Box Sign requests via Box Drive

    As of Box Drive v2.43, Box Drive now integrates with Box Sign. However, this integration does not support Part 11 compliant signatures. Since Part 11 compliance is enabled and enforced for all users in our organization, this presents a risk, as users could inadvertently bypass this requirement when using the integrated Box Sign feature via Box Drive.

    From Box Support "...when a user clicks on the "Send to Box Sign" option from Box Drive, Box Drive sends a "Signature Request" to Box Sign API. When the request is successfully processed, Box Sign API replies with “prepare_url” in response. We then…

  6. We want to restore a file by ourselves in Box Drive, when our accidentally move/delete it.

    When using Box Drive, we often move/delete file(s) by mistake!

    We want easily check the history of actions taken to moved/deleted contents, in order to easily restore it to its original location in case of a mistake.

  7. Enhancing MIP Integration: Applying DLP Policy Controls to Box Drive Access

    We use Microsoft's MIP integration (DLP policy application).
    Currently, DLP policy controls are not applied when opening from Box Drive.
    This makes MIP integration pointless and poses security problems.
    It is desirable for DLP policy controls to be applied even when opening from Box Drive.

    <MIP 統合の強化: Box Drive アクセスへの DLP ポリシー制御の適用>

    Microsoft社のMIP連携(DLPポリシー適用)を利用しています。
    現在の仕様では、Box Drive から開く場合には、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されません。
    これでは、MIP連携を利用している意味がなく、セキュリティの観点で問題があります。
    Box Drive から開く場合にも、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されるのが望ましいです。

  8. See folder structure

    Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.

    For example, if the folder structure is:
    X
    |- Y
    |- Z

    and our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
    This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.

  9. We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.

    We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.

    Currently, BoxDrive shows a prompt for file locking every time a file is opened.
    This is particularly disruptive when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We would like administrators to have the ability to turn off this prompt through settings.

    (in Japanese)
    BoxDriveで表示されるファイルをロックするかを確認するプロンプトを非表示にしたい。

    現在BoxDriveではファイルを開くたびにファイルロックのためのプロンプトが表示されます。
    特に複数ファイルを同時に開くときに作業の妨げになります。

    管理者が設定で表示をOFFにできる機能を実装してほしい。

  10. Pop up message when users try to move Large folders to a trash

    Hi Could you consider displaying a pop-up message when users try to move a lot of contents to a trash?

    Currently, a pop up message appears when large folders are moved to oher folders. But no message appears when a user tries to move contents to a trash.

  11. Prevent users from adding content to the root level in Box Drive

    Our enterprise is set to prevent users from being able to create folders at the root level. This functionality works great in Box cloud app. However the user is able to add content at the root level in Box Drive. This causes sync errors as Box Drive cannot sync to a root level folder in the app.

    Can you consider preventing users from doing this in Box Drive so it matches how it works in Box browser view.

  12. Feature Request – Enable "Favorites" Feature on Box Drive

    The 'Favorites' feature in Box allows users to quickly access frequently used files and folders by marking them as favorites. However, adding folders to 'Favorites' is only available through the Box web app and is not supported on Box Drive, the desktop application.

  13. Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box

    The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

  14. Organize Folders that are shared with me

    I use box drive on Mac and my main finder window is cluttered with folders that have been shared with me and there is no way for me to organize these folders. I have 50 folders that I use maybe once a year in the same spot as a folder that I use every day. Being able to rehome those folders off of the main screen would be a huge plus.

    Currently it feels like a messy desktop that I have no control over.

  15. Change default view in folders being shared

    Box defaults to showing files via upload date, please allow the ability to select what the default view is, so that it can be set to file name (ie alphabetically).

    When sharing links to folders with clients, files being shown via upload date looks messy and unprofessional and asking the client to change the view on their side isn't an option or a solution.

  17. Box drive for surface pro

    I have the latest surface pro laptop, but it says box drive is not compatible with this device. I use the drive version heavily for work and prefer not use a different content management software. . Surface pro suggested reaching out to box for support. The model features the Snapdragon X plus (10 core)/ X Elite. Can you provide an update that makes the drive compatible?

  18. I want to be able to see my own activity for myself(自分自身のアクティビティーを自分で確認できるようにしたい)

    To be able to look back and correct my own operating history when I realize I have been operating incorrectly.
    Although there is a load on the system, we think it is useful enough to be able to see the past 24 hours.

    (In Japanese)
    自分が操作を誤っていたことに気付いたときに、自分の操作履歴を振り返って正すことができるようにするため。
    システムの負荷もあるが、過去24時間分程度が見れるだけでも十分有用であると考える。

  19. Ability to Dismiss Error Messages Not Just Retry

    Error messages show up every morning and there is no way to clear them other than to Retry them. They are legitimate errors where the solution was to do something different, which I did, and my initial issue was resolved. However, these error messages persist, and retrying them will always produce the same error. There is no “dismiss” option. Since retrying them will will always produce the same error, there is no way to get rid of these errors.

    Box Support documentation gives no other option but to Retry. There is nothing listed about clearing messages that cannot be resolved…

  20. We would like to have a setting to control the ability to create shared links in Box Drive.

    Currently, users can right-click on content in Box Drive and generate a shared link from the "Share" menu. We need a way to disable this functionality through administrative settings.

    When creating a shared link from the web, it is possible to confirm that the shared link has been created by an icon,, however, when creating a shared link from BoxDrive, no icon is displayed, making it impossible to know whether a shared link has been created. Therefore, we want to prohibit creating shared links from BoxDrive.

    in Japanese

    BoxDriveで共有リンクを作成できないように制御したい

    BoxDriveでコンテンツを右クリックし、メニューの「共有」から共有リンクを発行することができるが、これを制御する設定ができるようにしてほしい。

    Webから共有リンクを作成する場合は、アイコンによって共有リンクが作成されていることが確認できますが、BoxDriveから共有リンクを作成するとアイコンが表示されず、共有リンクが作成されているかどうかがわからないため、BoxDriveからの共有リンク作成を禁止したい。
