  1. 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.…

  2. 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?

  3. Additional field type in File Request & folder columns

    Use case: Collect information, such as Full Name, from customers with a single-line text field & then be able to display this within the folder view.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    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。

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. Collaborator files from Box Drive not showing up on Box.com

    Ever since we updated our systems to macOS Ventura we've encountered many issues with Box Drive, now we are not seeing files from other collaborators that they report to have synced showing up on other peoples Drive or on Box.com at all. Box Drive has become unreliable lately, and users are being forced to manually upload files via desktop to ensure their files sync. Please fix!

  11. I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.

    In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"

  12. Adjust size of Box icon on macOS to fit into design guidelines

    Current Box app icon is much larger than other rounded-corner apps following Big Sur design language.

  13. Allow login to Box Drive from different Microsoft account

    It used to be possible to log into Box Drive from my work account whilst logged in as a different Microsoft user on the desktop. This has now stopped working and forces login via my desktop account. This means that Box Drive is now completely useless to me.

  14. Full Image Thumbnail Option

    For the image thumbnails, is there a way to toggle the view, so that one can see the entire image vs. a cropped version? I've noticed a recent change where all thumbnails are cropped, and in order to view the full image you need to click to open each individual file, which is a less efficient browsing method. Is it possible to return to the previous viewing option to see the full image within each thumbnail?

  16. Two User accounts on same Windows 10 computer

    There should be a possibility that two users on the same windows 10 computer, each user separately logging into his/her own windows account, could each log into his/her own box account and use box drive. BoxDrive is much more convenient that to go via the browser. This seems not possible now.
    Additionally it is annoying that the the box drive shows up for login when the second user enters the windows account, and if startup of box is switched off for that user, then it is also switched off for the main user (the admin user who has made the…

  17. Add Ability to view Overflow Files in Box

    It would be really helpful and can save us alot time if we are able to view the actual Overflow interaction flows in Box. That way we can provide comments and feedbacks on the file. Currently, we can only comment on exported PDF's since Overflow is not supported and can't be viewed.

  18. Bookmarks to be synchronized with BoxDrive/BoxSyn

    Bookmarks created "online" are not synchronized to be visible by the teams using BoxDrive or BoxSync. Also the other way round.

    Our teams are bookmarking many external web sheets or other box folder locations to navigate and support each other, but the links are not visible for all the others.

    With that knowledge, the usage of bookmarks does not work in a global team.

    Request: Please synchronize bookmarks in all directions, as we do with all other files!

  19. Find the new place for getting a link to a file - Box Share

    The pop-up menu in Explorer doesn't have "Box" anymore. Instead, there is a "Share" item on the menu, without indication that it relates to Box. How about renaming it to "Box Share"?

  20. Request to increase the maximum number of users to be enabled with [Enable for select users and groups] for [Mark for Offline] in Box Drive.

    I want to enable [Mark for Offline] for Box Drive and release it for some users. However, the number of users we want to register exceeds the upper limit of 100, so we would like to request to increase the upper limit of [Enable for select users and groups]. We believe this update would improve the useability and increase the efficiency among the users.

    (Japanese)
    Box Driveの [Mark for Offline]機能を有効にし、一部のユーザーに対して有効化したいが、上限値となる100名を超えて登録したいため、[一部のユーザーに対して有効化]選択時の上限値を増やして欲しい。
    利便性も向上し、業務効率化に繋がるため、実現に向けてぜひ対応してほしい。
