My Box Drive application has taken All Or Nothing, to literal.
I work for a national firm that produces hundreds of work folders daily, in retrospect I am assigned to 4 weekly. The Sync option through the Box Sync application allowed me and other users access to specific files on their laptops without being overwhelmed by the company's very long list. Assigned folders were Synced and then managed on laptops using the File Explorer. Which made working with these files very efficient.
Currently, there is no option for me to selectively access my assignment folders on my laptop without searching for them specifically in the growing listing of company-wide folders.

Open internet shortcut files in the device browser
In Dropbox, when tapping on an internet shortcut file it would open up the link in the device's default browser. In Box it can't open it at all. Would be nice if it did!

Box Drive can no longer "open on box.com" on Mac
Previously on Box Drive you could right click on a file and choose to be taken to its location on box.com.
Since the latest Mac, the functionality has disappeared, which affects the ease of using integrations with box.

Multiple Uploads failed - please solve that
Every day I get a message that multiple uploads failed due to file type.
But I have to find all of these manually.
Please make a button to isolate all those files in a local folder, to stop the messages from coming, and allow the user to sort those out.1 vote -
Box passwords user experience
Two issues I'd like to highlight that is significantly making the Box user experience for my users (and me) extremely frustrating.
1) Box Drive sign in experience
When my users try to sign into Box Drive and input incorrect passwords multiple times and keep trying, they get a captcha response requirement to continue trying. It's simply broken. It requires images to be selected but this process always gets stuck in an endless loop. I can confirm this from dealing with this on multiple systems running Box Drive and 100% of the time it got stuck in a loop. This captcha…1 vote -

Preemptively cache your folder directories.
Some departments have a large volume of folders and files. During first time of loading a folder, the contents appear blank and after 5 seconds content shows up. Sometimes a person needs to go manually refresh the folder list to see the contents. This gives the first impression that Box Drive is slow. Is there a way to preemptively cache the folder directories? We do not mark any contents available offline and would like to keep it that way. Once the folder is listed the first time, all future browsing of the folder is fast.1 vote -
open location
When I copy or move an item, usually I just want to go to the location where the file has now been copied or moved to. Currently, the only option is to show file or close. If I show file, I have to wait for it to load before I can click the cross and then be in the location I want to be in. If the file is large, sometimes I have to wait for ages.
I envisage something in Box like when you right click something on your desktop and it says "Open file location"

thumbnails not working in windows explorer
We found a known issue with Win10 windows explorer where thumbnails don't load quickly or at all. This is a major problem for graphics, web or content companies. Even average people can't find their pictures easily due to this.

Custom Location Box Folder on macOS Big Sur
Hi,
Custom location is working properly on macOS Catalina 10.15. via terminal and configuration profiles.
We're currently testing and this ability is now lost on macOS Big Sur 11
Could you guys kindly look into this and see if it could be implemented soon.
Thank you,

Allowing the ability to ignore ownership on certain files
We are trying to store Capture One Photoshoots on Box Drive so multiple people can access them and all adjustments are saved. There is the session file, RAW image files and various files storing the processing settings, thumbnails, etc.
I can copy a shoot to Box and work on it fine but if someone else tries to work on it, Box won't let the software overwrite the settings file and makes copies of everything with the 2nd persons email address on it. This is related to ownership of the files.
It would be great if we could turn that off…

It would be good have two people collaborate when both use box drive
Right now, the only way to collaborate is using box drive and MS 365 online-- which has a clunky interface. Would be good to have people working in Box Drive be able to jointly edit documents. Sharepoint Sync allows that to happen, but Box Drive does not.

priority
Can we have an option to select or prioritize which comes first and so on. So you can setup a priority of uploads to a level of a single file upload.
Example: have several large files uploading now. and a small file that its not uploading until the large files are done.
If you can right click on the file and set to "urgent" or "push now".

can_view_path not reflecting in Box Drive
We are utilizing the canviewpath api so whenever a folder is collaborated on this feature gets enabled. So rather than a user seeing just the folder they were collaborated in on their root level, they get to see the entire folder structure of where that folder exists. When this feature gets enabled it reflects immediately in the Box web app and the Box mobile app, but not in Box Drive. Sometimes it can takes days before the change takes effect. So during that time the folder is not available to the user in Box Drive. The only fixes…

I’m uploading a large directory tree with Box Drive, and I’d like to know the status of the files being transferred. I’ve been reading about this in the support area of their web site.
From the Box website, it appears that the way to do this is by looking at icons next to files which change color.
There are two issues with this:
I am blind and use screen reading software that can’t distinguish icons. The Box people need to know about this accessibility problem.
I’d rather have an overall report. But there’s nothing available in the Box Drive UI.1 vote -
Increased accessibility of upload status of a file for visually impaired users
Currently, in Box Drive the only way to check the upload status of a file/folder is to check the folder/file icons. There is currently no way for visually impaired users to check the current status of an upload, or check the status of content being Marked for Offline, since this functionality also relies on the folder/file icons for this information.
Box should consider a solution to this that would better serve visually impaired and blind users

Allow to only show Favorited items like box on the web
Allow Box Drive to show All Files or Favorite Files. This will enhance searchability for actively used files first, or All Files for a broader search.

New update with the search bar on the top is inconvenient.
Definitely prefer the search bar at the bottom closer to the box drive link. It's just easier to use there for fast searching. Less distance the mouse has to travel, and eyes are already focused there.
