Upload, copy and paste .DES files.
I can't paste in my Box Drive folder .des files that come from a software I use. I can upload them manually to the cloud in the web app, but those files won't sync either. This never happened with other cloud service software and I can't work without those files and the program won't run.
Please accept .des files so I can use Box for my work.1 vote -
Force removal of local copy of item which has been sync'ed
One of our common workflows on Dropbox was
- Move large file to the (Dropbox, now Box) folder
- Wait for (Dropbox, now Box) to upload that content to the cloud storage
- Right-click on the file and select an option to force it to "Online Only" mode, which would remove the local copy, freeing up the disk space
It seems that there is no way to do that last bit with Box Drive, and there absolutely should be. For many folks, the premise of cloud storage is "get this off my local disk", and waiting until some random cache times out days…

Remove an invited collaborator's access on a per folder level
There are use cases where the content owners/co-owners would like the ability to remove an (external) collaborator's access to a folder on a specific date. Understanding that this can be configured at a global level (by setting timeframe), it would be helpful to have this on a per folder level as well.
This would be beneficial as various departments/users share data of varying sensitivity and in various use cases (such as sharing with an external contractor whose contract is for X months).

Request for the ability to not display specific folders in BoxDrive
BoxDrive is very convenient because it can be used as an explorer, but due to user operational error
folders or files may be moved to unintended folders.
Folders to be collaborated outside the company can lead to information leakage,
We request for improve that specific folders can only be operated and viewed with the Box Web Browser.(Japanese)

Disabling shared links after the link is viewed
Currently there is the option have the shared link expire on a specific date. It would be beneficial to also have a shared link be disabled as soon as it is viewed. Having a link that's "one-time use only" would be ideal in various use cases like sharing sensitive information.
Having this also be the case for invited external parties would be helpful.

Irrelevant Box drive storage pop-up for corporate users
I'm on a corporate plan with my company. Why does Box keep showing this pop-up message everyday suggesting me to buy more storage?
Don't you know I have no control over my quota or account type?1 vote -
About drawing function
I would like to be able to change the thickness of the drawing pen.
I know that there are different types of pens. However, I would like to see more variations in the thickness of the pen, like in Microsoft's OneNote.1 vote -

Make it possible to have content default to available offline
When I create a file using my OneDrive that file is by default always available to me one the device where it was created. Having a similar option would be very helpful in Box especially when I am creating multiple folders worth of material and would like to be able to work on them while in transit or other locations without wifi. When I reconnect to the internet in One Drive it automatically updates the cloud version of the document with edits I made while offline. The current process of needing to do this manually for new folders/folder trees means…

It would be great if I could mark a folder to become a zip file. And the work of creating said zip file happens on your end.
It would be great if I could mark a folder to become a zip file. And the work of creating said zip file happens on your end. This is with the thought that very large folders that have tens of thousands of items are easier to download, or share.

Requesting notification of email address of who downloads song files.
We send out email blasts to our subscribers and include links to music we license. We receive a notification that someone downloads the song files. But it does not say who? Is there a way to retrieve the email address of the person that downloads files from our box account?

Requests for additional features in Box Drive v2.33
We have consolidated our content in Box, and have reduced the amount of space in the user area of our PCs to the point where almost no space exists.
We also try to keep as little space on the desktop as possible, so the new features in Box Drive v2.33 are not required.■Additional features that were an issue
Saving unsynchronized files upon logout
When logging out, users will be able to save files that have not been uploaded to Box.■Functionality Improvement Requests
Therefore, we would like to see any of the following realized for the ability to save…4 votes -
Box Drive support for bookmarks to files and folders
Box Web allows you to paste a link to a file or folder as a bookmark to quickly jump to that location. It would be great to have this work for Box Drive as well. The main use case is that we are moving from traditional Windows file shares to Box Drive. The experience is similar in that the files and folders are mapped in a hierarchical structure. The issue we are having is that some departments rely on Windows shortcuts to jump from one location to another in the shared drive.
The bookmark functionality seems to be able to…

Need for Retaining and Utilizing EXIF Data when Uploading Photos to box.com and Box Drive
I have been managing my photos on my PC and I'm considering migrating them to Box for better organization and accessibility. However, I've encountered a significant obstacle - the important EXIF data associated with my photos, such as the capture date and time, is lost once the photos are saved in a Box folder. This issue persists whether I upload the photos directly from the browser or through other methods.
I'm using Box Drive on Windows, and I've noticed that the property values also disappear in Explorer. Interestingly, when I moved the same file out of Box Drive, the property…

Box for Outlook: would be great if you could modify the attachment file name as you drop into Box.
Let's enable modifying the file name of the attachment in Outlook as it's saved into Box drop. Otherwise, I have to simply use Save As functionality in Outlook to modify the file name and get it to the right customer folder in Box. We use specific naming conventions to save files into customer folders. The document's file name needs to reflect the content. Without this detail, we have to wade through lots of documents in order to find what we need.

Limit office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) to be open through their corresponding web version
Limit office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) to be open through their corresponding web version. That is, only allowing these office files to be opened only through Word Online, Excel Online, etc. As of right now, these files are able to be opened through Google Docs and Google sheets, which alters the formatting of their original files.

Manage Box Drive folders that sync with the Box.com - I have to uninstall Box Drive from all of my devices
Because I cannot select which folders to sync from Box.com, I cannot use Box Drive which makes going back to One Drive extremely appealing.
This seems like such basic functionality and it's very disappointing that Box didn't provide it - and actually took it away when moving from Box Sync.
My idea is for Box Drive to provide the same basic functionality that Box Sync had and One Drive and Google Drive and Dropbox have.
