  1. 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.

  2. Better functionality for viewing photo libraries

    We have folders of photos - Box is not great either in browser or in Box Drive to review this. In Box Drive, i guess it struggles to cache all the thumbnails fast enough so it is effectively unusable

  6. Set file to read only for users without editing permissions

    Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download, edit files, and keep them personally.

    Since we are giving these users permissions where they can't edit, we want to prevent this behavior by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it, download it, or save it (the file)

  8. Ability to sync specific folder manually on Marking for Offline only if needed.

    Ability to sync specific folder manually for Marking for Offline only if needed.
    And, Drive should be added new icons for this.
    When PC comes online, if the latest version is available, something icons on folders indicates you can get a new update on the folder.
    it would be very helpful to notice them need to update on the folder.
    This feature would help to reduce network usage between PC and Box.

  9. Don't ignore dotfiles. Allow users to specify names or patterns to ignore.

    Many files that start with a period are not meant to be ignored (.gitignore, .emacs, .Rhistory, .RData). Box should ignore only filesystem-specific files such as .DS_Store, and sync everything else. Better yet, allow users to specify the filenames or patterns that should be ignored.

  12. Unable to add URLs ( Internet Shortcuts) to Box Folders

    Favorite URLs ( Internet Shortcuts) are unable to drag and drop on Box folders, while the same is available for local folders ( C Drive). I find this very frustrating and limiting our ability to use BOX. Please resolve this issue urgently.

  13. Drag and drop web URLs to Box Drive folder in Windows File Explorer

    Posting a request to add functionality to Box Drive that will allow drag and drop URLS from web browsers directly to Box Drive folder in windows file explorer.

    Currently, it's possible to store web URLs in Drive if you save them to your desktop first. We would like the ability to skip this step and save URLs directly from Chrome for example to Box Drive.

  14. Timestamp watermark appears in GMT timezone when public shared link is accessed.

    When a user is logged into Box and accesses a shared link, the watermark will appear in the timezone for their Box account.

    But when a public shared link is accessed without logging into a Box account, which is the most cases, then the watermark timestamp will appear in GMT instead of the device time settings.

    This would cause inconsistency for the time accuracy , some are the time user download or view the file, however some are not (GMT).

  15. Open as read-only when a user without edit permission opens the file in Box Drive

    Open as read-only when a user without edit permission opens the file in Box Drive

    Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download and edit files.
    You can prevent this by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it.

    For example, if a collaborator with preview permission uses Box Drive, the file can be edited and saved on the user's PC.

    As in the case above, to prevent files from being downloaded, edited, and saved on the user's PC, customers want to have function "read only" when users without edit permission open files from Box…

  16. 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.

  17. Improve navigation of Box Drive for Windows

    This is a request to improve the navigation of Box Drive. In Windows Explorer, after a user opens a folder, he can go back to the next higher level folder using "backspace" on the keyboard or "Left Arrow ←", but at this time, the last selected folder is selected and displayed. If a user performs the same operation on Box Drive, the user will be taken to the screen of the folder scrolled below the selected folder, but not 100% of the time. This happens when the user opens the folder several times and returns by backspace repeatedly in the…

  18. Ability that restrict to create a file/folder on the root folder and move/copy to the root folder on Box Drive

    .Ability that restrict to create a file/folder on the root folder and move/copy to the root folder on Box Drive if their enterprise set "Restrict content creation"

    Currently, we can perform operation create/move/copy in the root folder on Box Drive even though our enterprise set "Restrict content creation".
    Of course, the files/folders are marked as problem items, but if we move to the folder directly under the root folder, it looks like they have been moved to the folder, so logging off from Box Drive or replacing with new device due to hardware issue may lead to lose some contents.

  19. Box Drive Navigation

    Box Drive navigation - In Windows File Explorer, after a user opens a folder, they can go back to the previous folder using "backspace" on the keyboard or "Left Arrow ←".

    If a user performs the same operation on Box Drive, the user will be taken to the screen of the folder scrolled below the selected folder, but not 100% of the time.

    This happens when the user opens the folder several times and returns by backspace repeatedly in the Box Drive.
