Mac quick look
Box Drive needs the ability to show thumbnails in Finder on Mac and I need to be able to quick look the files even that have not been previously opened. If this isn't coming, I will be switching back to box sync.

Automatic locking of files specific extensions or program
Enable automatic locking of files with a specific extension or program. There are multiple users who use CAD files for example and every time another user opens the file, Box creates an additional file with the same name and a different version. In CAD, users open multiple files and locking each individual file becomes too much of work for the users.

New update with the search bar on the top is inconvenient.
Definitely prefer the search bar at the bottom closer to the box drive link. It's just easier to use there for fast searching. Less distance the mouse has to travel, and eyes are already focused there.

I want to be able to make a file available offline rather than the entire folder!
I want to be able to make a file available offline rather than the entire folder. I see that this option is available only at a folder lever and not at a file level. So this feature is needed too.

We urgently need the ability to drag/drop from box.com directly to other web apps.
We handle a large qty of jpg imagery. We need the ability to drag/drop directly from box to our web app (which has drag/drop capability). At the moment we have to download to desktop then upload to our web app. Massive bandwidth waste.

Adjust "arrow" to forward to next document when viewing a document it conflicts with the scroll bar when viewing an existing document
The arrow that you click to forward to the next document overlaps the scroll bar for the existing document. This impacts the ability to scroll up and down on the existing document. Please adjust the placement so the arrow doesn't overlap the scroll bar.

Go directly to the folder in Explorer/Finder
A one-click solution that takes me from a specific Box location in the web browser to the same location in Windows Explorer on my computer.
Essentially, the opposite of "View on Box.com" Windows Explorer feature.47 votes -
Copy file name and URL and path for shared link
The "Copy Shared Link" action in Box Drive (or Copy button in the Share pop-up dialog in the Web UI) should copy more than just the URL.
It should also have the file name and the current Box path so when I paste the link into a chat or email message, it has all the information the recipient will want.<path> > '<filename>"

Box Drive path for InDesign linked files
Background:
We’ve moved the location of Box Drive to be outside the username location for our users. This allows for multiple users to work with InDesign , collaborate, and reference the correct asset links without issue. Reference – community.box.com/t5/Deploying-Managing-Box..Issue:
However, if a user hasn’t previously viewed the file in BOX Drive (e.g. ‘downloaded it to force a local sync’) then the linking of the file still breaks. This causes the following issues : when the user opens an InDesign file, they still need to navigate to anywhere from 5 – 50 different file locations in BOX Drive to ‘open/sync/download’…12 votes -
Seamless Sign On - Box Drive
Like OneDrive, we want the ability for the box drive client to seamlessly sign into box without any user integration at login. This will benefit;
- VDI users
- Hot desk users
- Students (e.g. lab machines)
- First time logon for staff allocated devicesWe understand this won't work for everybody but we to SSO to box via Azure AD and all of our 7,500 managed devices are joined to both on-premises AD and Azure AD. In fact we're starting have a slow migration to pure Azure AD.
This has stopped any large scale rollout and we have seen…

Add file/folder sort by some property (i.e. "creation", etc ) as these are contained in the file info
I know this has been raised before. the ability to sort by other criteria should be possible, as the File Properties, File Information already contains the metadata.
eg.
File Properties

Automatically prohibit unsupported characters
Box Drive and unsupported characters:
It’s hard to find each folder or file that contains prohibited characters, so I’d like to have prohibited characters registered online automatically deleted or replaced
so they will appear in Box drive.14 votes -

Force Box Drive to sync status with Box every time file is touched .
for example: User A locks a file, User B opens the file in drive (the lock status still hasn’t sync’d down user’s machine yet)
User B edits the file and tries to save but Drive will show that it wasn’t able to save back the change to box and creates a problematic file.
User B closes the file, and then reopens the file. The change User B made still shows up.
Onedrive checks for the latest status every time it opens a file or when you try to save a file it will sync status with what is in the…75 votes -
Open local file from shared link
When opening a box.com link, the site should detect that I have box drive installed, then prompt me to open the file locally or go to the folder in finder/explorer.
Better yet, Box drive could intercept the url, check if the file is local and open it seamlessly if it finds it.
