Allow users to suppress problem items they do not have permissions to fix
For example, you are a Viewer Uploader on a folder that contains restricted Windows characters.
As a Viewer Uploader, you do not have permissions to rename the folder.
Now, your BFD client will forever complain about this folder.
5 votesWe currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.
We will be suppressing server-side problem item (files that cannot sync to Box Drive from Box.com) notifications starting in Box Drive v2.4 in an effort to reduce the noise while we work towards solving this problem in a better way.

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 -
Admin-level alert notification on certain Box Drive permission errors
Users can create folders in Box Drive at the root level. In a closed folder taxonomy, the folder does not sync and fails with permission and/or problem item errors. If a user does not address the notification (or notifications are disabled), users can continue to create content in the unsynced folders. Icon overlays are also not reliable, so this will not be discovered until the content is lost due to hardware failure or software/OS reload. Consider alerting admins of these issues via the event stream or Shield-type alerts to prevent data loss, or disabling the creation of folders this way.

Ability to save Sort preference
Hello! I'd like to be able to save a sort preference for all my folders for the team. So if I number the folders they always appear in name, ascending order. Instead each time you enter a folder you have to sort it.

Prevent items with restricted movement from being moved on the Box Drive display
If "Do not allow ownership of content to be transfered to external users" is enabled in the tenant settings, content cannot be moved to external tenants by users other than the administrator.
However, when content is moved in Box Drive, although it is not actually moved, it appears on the display as if it is stored in the destination folder, and it does not return to the original folder until the user logs out/logs back in to Box Drive.
Content whose movement is restricted by Classification Policies will immediately return to the folder in which it was originally stored, both…

Prevent desktop box folder deletion
Please create a way to globally disable users the ability to delete folders from their desktop with Box Drive.
They are under the impression that if they hit "delete" on the folders they are removed from the Projects. This in turn has caused a lot of chaos from team members deleting the entire Project folders instead of going to the Box website and revoking their permissions.
No amount of training we try do it can solve this with a company our size.
Team members are deleting terabytes of data and it's exhausting trying to recover all this data.

Folder-level "custom terms of service"
Is it possible to only setup "Custom Terms of service" on specific sub-folders for external collaborators? Or is this setting only account-wide??
Use case:
We have a dataroom set up, and some external collaborators have problems accessing the "login custom terms of service" NDA and logging into Box. The notification emails from the system are often sent to their spam folder.
We can send an NDA via the "e-sign" feature, but don't want our external collaborators to then have to accept it a 2nd time when they come to a (separate, for NDA e-signers) dataroom folders.
Can we setup a…

Allow BoxDrive search to be limited to files and folders names
The current BoxDrive search will search the contents of the file as well.
We would like to be able to narrow down the search target when searching, because sometimes it is enough to search only the file name or folder name.
(In Japanese)
現在のBoxDriveの検索はファイルの中身まで検索対象となっています。
ファイル名やフォルダ名だけ検索で十分な場合があるため、検索時に検索対象を絞れるようにしてほしいです。4 votes -
Adding a function to manage tasks in BoxDrive
Since we mainly use BoxDrive, we would like to be able to conduct task management from BoxDrive as well.
Specifically, we would like to be able to check the tasks assigned to us and the tasks we have sent from Box Drive, just like "My Tasks List" and "Tasks Inbox" on Box Web.＜BoxDriveでタスク管理できる機能の追加＞
BoxDriveをメインで利用しているため、タスク管理もBoxDrive上から実施できるようにしてほしい。
具体的には、Box Web上の「My Tasks List」や「Tasks Inbox」のように、自分に割り当てられているタスクや自分が送信したタスクを、Box Driveからも確認できるようにしてほしい。4 votes -

Select Upload Limit, Pause Uploads
Hello, I have multiple ideas for this relatively limited featured app:
We should be able to select how many items we wish to upload at a time, instead of this default 10 or so at a time. If I've got a busy schedule, I sometimes want to achieve a few uploads at time and then pause (next point).
We should definitely be able to Pause Uploads, Dropbox has it, OneDrive has it, why not Box. For my work, I need my bandwidth quite often, so currently the only way of "pausing" is closing the app completely, and not knowing whether…

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.

[Box Drive's ability to require re-authentication when changing networks]
After authenticating Box Drive, we want it to detect that the network has changed (For example, changes in IP addresses, etc.) and re-authenticate. If this is not possible, I would like to see the retention period for authentication information shortened (up to 24 hours).
This is because, although only authorized terminals can be authenticated, Box cannot be used from unauthorized networks.

Really need a better way for individuals to organize folders on their Box Drive
I see some ideas under consideration, and amazingly adding Collections to Box Drive is not one of them. Box Drive urgently needs a better way for individual users to organize contents without affecting the online heirachy for everyone else

Warning/Prompt before deleting items in Box Drive

Box Drive support for Tags (Windows)
We would like to be able to use tags in Box Drive in order to better sort/filter/search for specific information that is used company-wide (either the tags field in MS Office files or a Box-specific tag). I see several requests for this feature from Mac users, but not much reference for Windows users.
Thanks...
