Select folders to sync
Select folders to sync with Box Drive rather than having to sync all folders.
170 votesHi everyone,
You can now hide files and folders in Box Drive. For now, hidden content will continue to sync, but this may change in the future.
Please keep voting for this idea so we can better prioritize it on our roadmap. Thank you for your feedback — it helps us build the most impactful features for our customers.

File Security Classification, non-compliance label
When viewing a folder, it is currently not possible to know if there are files within the folder structure that have a differing classification label from the one at the root level. This "non-compliance" could potentially be problematic, or even a signal that someone has inadvertently changed a classification. It would be nice to have some kind of visual indicator that the top-level classification label is not 100% cascaded throughout the folder/file structure below it in the waterfall.

When I use the option to hide the left sidebar, the toolbar icons at the top are duplicated, overlapping each other.
This is an accessibility bug I think. I use large fonts on a Mac, and when I use Box in my Safari browser and use show/hide of the left sidebar, I wind up with double the top toolbar icons - overlapping each other, and only half are actionable.

Share Links report w/ direct link column
Current reporting allows admins to export a snapshot of all 'shared links' but it does not show the 'direct links' to those files. Customers who use direct links are not able to pull a report showing the file name, direct link and other information about the file. Reporting on direct links can also keep the admin aware of direct linked files that are public facing that might be a security issue.

Allow External Collaborators to Search Shared Content for Metadata
If an enterprise shares a folder to outside collaborators, and the content of this folder includes thousands of documents with assigned metadata templates, the external collaborator does not have the ability to filter search that shared content based on the metadata applied.

Prevent users to cange their own permission level in order to avoid "downgrading" the permission from Co-Owner to Viewer (for example) just for yourself.
Or not allowing a user to remove himself/herself from a folder.

Add ability to allowlist unpublished apps in a Shield list or Access Policy
Currently, the only apps that can be exempt from an Access Policy are published apps or custom JWT apps that have been approved in the Admin Console. There is a gap for unpublished OAuth apps that may need to be allowlisted from a policy.

Ability to sync dot-files
I'm a developer and my projects are synced to box, and I need, when I access my projects on another computer, to retrieve all my files, including my "dot" files (such as .env, .gitignore, .editorconfig, etc.). Only, now "dot" files are not synced, as explained on this page:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195433. This is a problem, so it would be nice to be able to manually force certain files to sync or to have them automatically sync.3 votes -
MS One Note integration needed
I use MS One Note very often and would like the ability to share with Box however there are many issues and end up saving the One Note file on a shared drive which does not have the same features as Box...I am trying to move away from utilizing shared drives and using Box primarily, however issues like One Note imcompatibility are preventing me from moving away from shared drives.

Ability to request a bulk download of data sent to us via hard-drive .
Allow us to request a bulk download of our data which Box would fulfill at their technical support center. This would enable us to receive multiple Terabytes of data without bogging down our corporate network or using applications which are prone to download failures. The data would be stored on hard-drives or solid state drives either purchased through box or sent to box to fulfill the request

SVG thumbnails corrupted
Hi,
We are using box to store loads of SVG images of apartment floor plans.
When looking at a folder containing these images, the thumbnails are filled with large black areas, making it impossible to make out anything.From what I can see, the svg image preview is a .jpg image, so when the thumbnail is generated it probably fills some transparent areas with black.
Would it be possible to just use the SVG as a thumbnail instead? in our case all the generated jpg thumbnails are actually larger than the original svg.
I would provide an image / example…

New App Management UI needs improvements
The New App management UI was released the week of Feb 3 2020. We would like to see a few enhancements:
1) Provide a way copy or export the whitelist of client IDs for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
2) List the App ID or App Name along with the Client IDs that are whitelisted for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
3) Provide better explanation for each section…12 votes -
Save Function
In terms of product improvement, it is evident that the “Save As” functionality is not an efficient way of saving existing files within Box. If a “Save” or “Sync” functionality is available, this would make the end user experience better. Your other competitors like Microsoft’s SharePoint does have the functionality available to just sync without needing to go through the whole “Save As” approach.

Shared link permissions enterprise default
A way to force reset everyone to the enterprise default for shared link permission level.
+
A setting that would allow only a subset of users to have the broader level of sharing – say there is opt 1 – people in company / opt 2 people in company + invited / opt 3 people in company + invited + anyone with the linkEx. So the enterprise default for all users would be locked down to a max of option 2 (giving users opt 1 & 2 as choices) – we could allow a small subset option 3 (giving…

Email upload failures, granular details requested
Email upload failures to provide more details about the email address and folder being uploaded to. In some instances, automations get set up and users that set them up leave, which means if they start failing, the remaining users do not know what folder it is going to if they cannot locate the automation. In others, a box upload email accidentally gets added to CC. Adding the requested information would help customers hunt down the folders in question to ensure nothing improper was uploaded or to help locate the automation.

Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally
Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.
For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.1 vote
