  3. Ability to perform file operation through directory command prompt

    File operation by operating by command prompt.
    Is there any way to operate the files and metadatas from the pointed directory?
    As far as I heard from SE, the answer was "no".
    For example, extract all the metadata in each filed from the pointed filename expantion and from the pointed directory by one command.
    It will be great if we could use this Box Drive by operating like linux or command prompt.

  4. Hide/restrict files from view in a shared folder

    I would love to see the ability to hide/restrict viewing options for a single file/item within a Box folder.

    For example, only 3 people would need to be able to view and edit this file although 20 people may have access to the shared folder itself. The other 17 individuals would not know the file is listed there because they do not have viewing access.

    This would help reduce the need to save that file's information someplace separate from the rest of the pertinent folder information.

  6. Fix Box Drive icon overlay conflict on Microsoft documents

    On behalf of Blackstone:

    Content that is on user's machine/desktop is showing red lock icons overlaying the icon of the file type, on content that has, but also has NEVER been in Box

    Please follow modern Microsoft guidance and not use legacy integrations to Windows. The existing implementation is conflicting with our usage of OneDrive.

  7. Folder of aliases to Box files for sharing

    In order to supply a group of files to a collaborator such as an outside contractor, one must copy existing files into a new folder. We need a way to gather the ALIAS /SHORTCUT to multiple files that can be placed in a single shared folder.

  8. Ability to view file menu without zooming out

    In order to see the entire "More options" menu for a specific file, I need to ZOOM OUT. It cuts off even on a larger monitor/resolution at 100%.

    If I could attach an image to show an example, I would.

  9. 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?

  10. No support

    It would be nice if Box would reinstate their support or fix storage meter faults after bulk deleting folders.

  11. Ability to manually update a Box Drive version (menu option)

    I would like to see version update added to the right-click menu of the app so that I can manually update when the latest version of BoxDrive is released.

    Currently, Box Edit and Box Drive are designed to automatically update their versions, but depending on the user, the timing of implementation may be delayed or there may be cases where the version is not automatically updated.
    In order to deal with this, we have to uninstall and reinstall the tool, which is very inconvenient.
    Therefore, I would like to see version update added to the right-click menu of the app…

  12. Expand Window for Select Folders

    Change the Select Folder to Add window to a FULLSCREEN, adjustable, or with horizontal scrolling. I have PROPERTY folders and DEPT subfolders that I can't read in the mini window provided. I can skip this step and then go to the share and invite them, but it should not be required. I can't keep guessing whether or not I am assigning them to Human Resources or Housekeeping, simply because I can't see what I selected.

  13. Open files from web app in Box client

    Oftentimes our team shares the location of a file within Box by pasting a link into, e.g. Asana. Clicking that link opens the item in the Box web app. There's no way to open that location within the Box client on MacOS other than looking at the file path on the web, then manually browsing to that location in Finder. I'd like a link you can click from the web app that reveals the location of that file within Finder.

  14. 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…

  16. Sharing File paths with others in my organization on box drive

    Before my company switched to box we had a mac server. When directing people to files on this server we used a utility called PathSnagger where it copied the file path which you could then email to someone and it would become a clickable hyperlink. When you click it, it took you directly to that location on the server. It was great to be able to do this.

    With box, we cannot do that any longer with this utility because it copies the fully qualified path to your local computer. file:///Users/[username]/Library/CloudStorage/Box/[folder name]/[file or folder name] and since the recipient is…

  17. Ability to Change Sort Order

    I'd like to be able to switch the sort order of folders to descending so I don't have to keep making multiple clicks each time I'm in and out of folders. The default is from oldest to newest, and I'd like to be able to reverse that and keep that as a preference.

  20. Add iOS Shortcuts integration

    Simply add iOS shortcuts integration like your competitor. Save to box, append to file in box function ecc would be a great feature. The only reason that I’m not using your great service is the missing of this integration.
