Improvement to display a pop-up message when a locked file is opened as read-only
When a locked file is opened in BoxDrive, there are some cases where the user does not realize that the file is read-only and updates the file.
We are aware that the pop-up message can be displayed by enabling the auto-lock option or the lock at prompt option, but this option is limited to Office files only.
We would like to improve the functionality so that all users and all files will have a pop-up message confirming that the file is locked and opened as read-only, even if this option is not enabled.（In Japanese）
＜ロックされたファイルが読み取り専用で開かれる際、ポップアップメッセージを表示してほしい＞
BoxDriveでロックされたファイルを開く際、読み取り専用であることに気がつかずファイルを更新してしまうケースが発生しています。
自動ロックのオプションまたはプロンプトによるロックのオプションを有効にすることでポップアップメッセージが表示されることは認識していますが、こちらのオプションはOfficeファイル限定となっています。
こちらのオプションを有効にしていなくても全ユーザーとすべてのファイルに対して、ファイルがロックされているため読み取り専用として開かれていることが確認できるポップアップメッセージが表示されるよう機能の改善を希望します。1 vote -

A snapshot of contents within a Box drive folder
Have you ever looked at a top-level Box folder and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to dig through and drill down to every sub-folder just to know what the contents are?
Do you get discouraged at the thought of looking for a single file that could possibly exist way down the rabbit hole of Box folders and sub-folders?
Would you rather have the ability to glance at a snapshot of an entire Box folder and all the sub-folders and files that exist within it?
A simple yet effective solution is a "tree directory" view. This is a feature…

File Explorer Search Capabilities on Box Drive
Box Sync allowed for File Explorer searching. Box Drive does not.
This is a HUGE negative.
When will this be fixed?

Specify box drive location and cache location
Enable the option for users to specify Box Drive location.
Changing it in the registry is way too advanced for most users and easily fixable with a build-in feature.
Enable the ability to specify Cache location is also a must-have.

Bookmarks to be synchronized with BoxDrive/BoxSyn
Bookmarks created "online" are not synchronized to be visible by the teams using BoxDrive or BoxSync. Also the other way round.
Our teams are bookmarking many external web sheets or other box folder locations to navigate and support each other, but the links are not visible for all the others.
With that knowledge, the usage of bookmarks does not work in a global team.
Request: Please synchronize bookmarks in all directions, as we do with all other files!

Moving from Box Drive now deletes instead of copies
When moving a file from Box Drive to another volume like your computer, it now removes the file from BOX altogether. Prior to the latest update to the platform, it used to make a copy by default.
We use BOX as a file server and this opens up the potential for accidental deletion. Making the source folders read-only doesn't work either because we have to be able to edit contents on BOX.
Can you provide the option in a setting or elsewhere to turn on forced copy by default when dragging files from BOX to another Volume?

Dragging files or folders out of BOX makes a copy
With the recent update to BOX Drive, when you move something from BOX to your computer it removes it from BOX. It used to make a copy by default. We use BOX as a shared file server and this change allows for accidental deletion.
Can you please add the ability to make this copy rather than move the file, only when moving out of BOX onto the computer or an outside volume?

Box Drive should copy by default on macOS
As described at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407737091219-Using-Box-Drive-on-macOS-File-Provider-Extension-FPE-mode
a change when moving to newer Box Drive, or upgrading to Monterey, results in the serious change of drag and drop is now a move instead of a copy.
If a user ever accidentally drags a file to their local drive, it takes it out of Box, and trashes the original, it eliminates the previous object ID for the file, it trashes all prior versions of the file.
This simple mistake can break every link that a company may have for a particular object in documents, bookmarks, etc. Or, if the user doesn't realize they'd moved…

Pause and Resume Uploads or downloads to or from Box
The ability to Pause Downloads + Uploads so that Resource intensive tasks on other software can be carried out on a single computer/device without being slowed down by Box Transferring large amounts of data to/from the device to cloud. The ability to resume Downloads + Uploads after resource intensive tasks are completed.
Not everyone/every company has the budget to have expensive "workhorse" computers or Gigabit internet (not to mention a lot of places dont even have gigabit internet. (Im lucky enough to have access to both where I work and I STILL run into issues from time to time)

More detailed error handling with sync errors
We have a user who is on Box Drive that has had several sync errors come up on his Box Drive client over the last week, but when he clicks on the info icon next to the s"9 items with sync errors message" it just gives them a generic error message with no details about which files can't be synced or how long they haven't been synced. I don't know if there's an existing solution for this, but thought I'd mention it here.

Find the new place for getting a link to a file - Box Share
The pop-up menu in Explorer doesn't have "Box" anymore. Instead, there is a "Share" item on the menu, without indication that it relates to Box. How about renaming it to "Box Share"?

Request to increase the maximum number of users to be enabled with [Enable for select users and groups] for [Mark for Offline] in Box Drive.
I want to enable [Mark for Offline] for Box Drive and release it for some users. However, the number of users we want to register exceeds the upper limit of 100, so we would like to request to increase the upper limit of [Enable for select users and groups]. We believe this update would improve the useability and increase the efficiency among the users.
(Japanese)
Box Driveの [Mark for Offline]機能を有効にし、一部のユーザーに対して有効化したいが、上限値となる100名を超えて登録したいため、[一部のユーザーに対して有効化]選択時の上限値を増やして欲しい。
利便性も向上し、業務効率化に繋がるため、実現に向けてぜひ対応してほしい。1 vote -
Accessing external shared links via FTP agents.
I request developer teams to look into the possibility of organising the access to external shareable links also via FTP clients. This would avoid the issue where a shareable link expires or gets blocked by the network setting of the external clients.

Set personal defaults, like alpha by Name
We need to be able to set personal defaults on our Box pages. For example, I want folders to come up in alpha order by name. Right now they seem to default to something else that seems random to me. It's very frustrating not having things in alpha order so that I can look them up easily. It makes no sense to have to take the extra step of setting the order to NAME every single time I go to a Box page.
