  1. Have "everywhere" as default for Box Search.

    Can you please have "Everywhere" as default for Box Search. It is very annoying having to click "Everywhere" button every time I do a Box search.

  2. Fix "missing" files bug in Box Drive

    Please fix the "missing" files bug with Box Drive which has been an issue for years. I'm honestly getting tired of having to tell my users to log out and log back in to clear app cache to fix the issue. It keeps happening after updates. I don't understand why this is so unreliable.

  3. external disk

    Need to move Box drive synced data to external drive (USB C SSD)

    We were hoping to use Box as a replacement for sync'd Adobe Creative Cloud storage.
    We have around 850GB of data in our Adobe CC share. Large volume of data due to high res PSDs, video editing etc.

    Within our business, our internal hard drives are 500GB. We each stored our CC shares on external solid state USB C drives. We need to do the same with Box.

    Please allow moving of the synced Box data (files, cache, whatever) to an eternal drive.

  4. Avoid accidental edits! Set local OS ReadOnly flag initially on ALL Box Drive files; When User Clears local RO, auto-Lock file for editing!

    Currently a user can very easily ACCIDENTALLY change a file locally in Box Drive without locking. This can be completely avoided by this:

    EVERY file in Box Drive should initially have local OS (e.g. Windows) "Read-only" attribute set. If and when the user explicitly Clears/Unsets the Windows Read-only attribute, e.g. in Windows Explorer (or chooses "Lock File For Editing in Box Drive" from context menu), Box Drive shall AUTOMATICALLY Lock it in Box, ideally only allowing local editing within Box Drive. There could be a pop up message like "File Locked for editing in Box Drive; be sure to Unlock…

  5. I would like to be able to see which user account is currently logged in on the PC using Box Drive.

    I would like to be able to check the currently logged-in user account on the PC where I am using Box Drive.
    Please make it possible for users to check this information themselves.

    I want the administrator to be able to check which user account is using which PC.

    This is necessary for proper user account management, so please consider this.

  6. over quota message

    Insert the account name in the over quota message instead of just saying "your account". This would eliminate the confusion when a user is trying to upload to a shared folder that they don't own.

  7. Allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups

    I have found it inconvenient that Box Drive can only be enabled or disabled for all users uniformly.

    I believe that allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups would provide more flexible operation. Implementing this feature could enhance security and operational efficiency. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.

  8. Shield Classifications Following Content in Drive

    In Box Drive, the classifications do not follow the content. For ITAR customers, I can copy a file from ITAR folders (with a shield policy) to another folder for non-ITAR content and share it without restrictions.

    This works in the web app, but not in Drive.

  9. Show file paths on "Error updating *** items..."

    If BoxDrive has some errors, it shows error on "Error updating *** items..." by clicking the gear icon.
    Then the error window says, "The original file was deleted on Box" on my environment.
    But it doesn't show the paths, but also filenames.
    So it would be very helpful if you could improve it to show the filenames and its path.

    Environment:
    macOS 13.6.7 (22G720)
    Box Drive 2.39.179

  12. Video playback stops midway

    When I shared a video using a shared link, some people reported that the video stopped midway through. Is this a Box specification? Is there a maximum size for videos that can be shared? I would like to know if there is a way to share videos without stopping in the middle (or restrictions on video sharing).

    動画を共有リンクで共有したところ、一部の共有先から、動画が途中で止まってしまうと報告を受けた。これはBoxの仕様なのか? 共有できる動画の最大サイズが決まっているとか? 動画を途中で止まらぬように共有できる方法(もしくは動画共有についての制約事項)があれば知りたい。

  14. Getting a "Share a file link" on Win 11 Pro

    We moved to Win 11 Pro. Since then "getting a Box link" to copy and add it to a document been very painful.

    Here is a 1 min video https://somup.com/cZ1QYtEe4S

    SOLUTION: see what DropBox already did, integrating it the Right click mouse click shell.

  15. Box Drive Windows Drive Letter

    We work with Box Drive more than using the Box Web App.

    It would be useful to have a plugin that maps Box to a drive letter rather than going to the shared link for the web or for example "C:\Users[USERNAME]\Box[Account Folder][Another Account Folder]" Only having a path going directly to Box[Account Folder][Another Account Folder] by default would be a great thing to have.

  16. Not able to filter tags on images

    I request that an automatic version update stop function be added.
