  1. excel online

    It'd be great if I could share Excel, Word, etc Online links directly with external users without having the additional step of Preview. This way the collaborator can click on the link and just start editing realtime, like they would a Google Doc/Sheet, etc.

  7. Remove folder from desktop

    I would like to be able to not have the Box folder sitting on my desktop and only sit in the Finder's sidebar, along with GSuite, or Creative Cloud for example.

    The reason for this is: 1 it adds clutter to the desktop. 2 on Macs, having folders and files, especially big files there, actually will slow down the performance of the computer. Not many people realize this. The items on the desktop are constantly being pinged by the computer using resources.

  8. Open file from UI Elements without approval

    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

  9. Sync my desktop files on a Mac to Box

    Feature suggestion: if there's any way for us to sync my desktop files on a Mac to Box - that would be HUGE for our end users. Similar to how Macs work today where content on desktop is saved to iCloud - work with Apple so that Box can be used as the content storage area of choice instead.

  10. Remove shares no longer available after the owner was deactivated

    We deactivated one user who retired. The folders he owned disappeared in Box Web for the shared users but they didn't disappear in Box drive, so users could still create files which were not saved in Box.
    Could deactivated shares be updated very quickly in Box Drive to avoid that behavior please?

  13. Reconcile behavior between Edit and Drive after a conflict

    There is different behavior between Box Drive and Box Edit when uploading after conflicted happened. We would like to change behavior as same as Box Edit. This difference might lead to be confusion for the customer.

    Actual Behavior at this moment:

    Box Drive
    1. User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
    2. User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
    3. User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
    4. User A saves the file X via Box Drive. Conflict happened.…

  14. Bulk attach Box files via email

    Having to add files to my email one at a time is a horrible user experience and a waste of time. Let me add more than one file at a time.

  15. Enable opening of objects with long folder paths

    In Box Sync, you were able to open files regardless of path length - there was sometimes an issue with saving long path files, but not with opening.

    In Box Drive, you cannot open files with long path lengths...which is obviously a problem for any organization that uses a deep folder structure.

    Solely seeking feature parody between box sync and box drive...

  16. Provide a FUSE (Filesystem in userspace) handler for Box Linux and other *nix support

    Linux, and other operating systems, have a mechanism for vendors to provide transparent filesystem access to esoteric file storage mechanisms in userspace, without the need to write a kernel module using "FUSE" (Filesystem in Userspace).

    Box would only need to write a FUSE handler, and then that'd open up access to a lot of *nixes.

  18. Provide direct links for files listed in Problem Items window to the actual files in Box Drive.

    When users have a large number of Problem Items (> 10) it can be a pain to find exactly where these Problem Items are. The search function doesn't work well for these files and you can't even copy the name of these files. A direct link to them would be most convenient.

  19. Box Drive Tour and Updates

    We have added Box Drive to our VDI image. At each login, a user logs into Box Drive as if it was the first time when logging into a VDI computer. We'd like the option to be able to skip the Box Tour as it doesnt need to repeat every time.

    Additionally, we'd like to disable Box Drive updates as we'd want to do them on a controlled basis on the image.
