  1. User logged in local value

    Feature Request: A local value that can be read to determine if a user is logged into Box Drive.

    This would be useful for launching custom workflows depending on if the user is logged in or not.

  3. View right holder to download the watermarked files from box drive.

    that way, people with view right do not need to go box.com website and download each file.
    + it will be great if they could download including folder trees with watermarked files(Pdf, ppt, excel etc).
    Take this as consideration
    best,

  4. Easier access to Box.com versus local box folder from the box menu

    I use a mac. To go to a folder, I can click the box icon on my menu bar and there is the folder icon. But, to go to box notes (very popular with my team) or box.com, I must click down into the box settings. Please bring box.com up to the level of the box folder in your menu.

  5. Viewing and Downloading EPUB files

    As outlined in Case # 2783413
    We were unable to share an link to an EPUB which had watermarking embedded in the file.
    Workarounds included zipping up the EPUB first.
    It would be wonderful to get full EPUB support where you can view the EPUB (ie see the cover image, and even the contents of the EPUB book and allow anyone with the link to download the file.

    As was discovered in the case mentioned above, it turns out some EPUBs can at least be downloaded if they didn't contain watermarking. Publishers put in watermarking so removing these is not…

  6. Ability to set an optional time for lock files .

    I want to set the lock time to any desired time, not preset such as 5 minutes or 15 minutes.
    Ability to specify presets is useful, but optional time settings are also needed.

  7. Show File Quantity in Grid Mode

    When looking at your folders in grid mode, it would be nice to see the quantity of files in the folder without having to open the folder and select all files or going into list mode. I think it used to be like this but last time I looked I couldn't see the file quantities and it was a cumbersome process for me to figure out the quantity.

  8. I want single click to only select and double click to open files.

  10. Download One File At A Time

    When you choose to make a folder offline (make a folder local) it starts downloading multiple files at once. You should be able to not only download a single file at a time, but also prioritize a file so you can select which one you'd like to prioritize in a queue.

  11. Prefix, Suffix, and related fields in Box Folder Names.

    Let's be honest, at the end of the day, people sign up for Box for cloud space and organization. One very big pain point for my company is the inability to apply related fields and/or prefix/suffix's to our folder names. Let's take a very simple folder structure

    Parent Folder |Folder A, Folder B | Folder A - 1, Folder A - 2, Folder A - 3 |

    Currently, if I wanted to append the {Parent Folder} to each folder within the folder structure, I would have to go and rename each folder individually.

    This idea thread would solve this problem.…

  12. Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them

    Recommend to user offline access to large files when they use them

    We have a lot of users that access large spreadsheets and projects from their cloud drive when they would have good productivity gains if they had the file synced locally and worked on it that way. Would it be possible to build intelligence into Box Drive that could suggest best practices like synching large files that need to be accessed frequently?

  14. BoxSign request from Box Drive

    It would be nice to send a box sign document straight from Box Drive instead of logging into the web app and doing it from there. We mostly use the Box drive in our company.

  15. I would like to have the ability to display folders fixed on Box Drive search.

    We are aware that the search function of the Box Drive requires a search to be performed each time.
    Since it is time-consuming to search each time, we would like a setting function that allows the desired folder to be displayed (arbitrarily selected) when the Box Drive search screen is launched so that folders can be easily checked.

    (Japanese)
    Box Driveの検索機能は、都度検索をかける必要があるのは認識しています。
    毎回検索をすると手間であるため、フォルダの確認がしやすいようにBox Drive検索画面立ち上げ時に希望のフォルダを表示(任意選択)可能な設定機能が欲しい。

  17. Box Uploader should be also listed as the Box File Owner

    It is frustrating to see that the Owner of a Box Folder structure, is listed automatically as the Document Owner. Can this be changed to reflect the Owner as the person who uploaded the file instead. So if there are any questions on files, it goes to the right person, rather than to a Box Folder Owner who actually would have to field and re-direct as appropriate which is not ideal.

  18. Drag and drop files on Box Drive

    I can't drag and drop to move a file as easily as on google drive
    The all files folder should automatically expand when I plan to drop a file to move it to.

  19. Box closes when close an app on windows web

    When opening an app, the close button on the top right of the app page, closes the entire page and exit Box (e.g., if Document or excel sheet is opened from Box Drive).
    It would be better if the close button, closes the app and falls back to the main Box drive page.

  20. Direct Download Option from Right-Click Context Menu

    Currently, when using the Box Drive on Mac Finder or Windows Explorer "right-click > Share > Copy shared link" only gives you the option for a share link that open to the web-browser preview page.

    This is obviously not the preferred method for sharing files to people who need to download assets quickly.

    Just give the option for "Copy shared link" and "Copy Direct Download link" in the context menu.

    Thank you!
