Box CLI: Don't require "type" on box trash:get.
The standard box files:get command does not require a type (so you can actually pull the type by using the get.
The Trash version of this command requires a type. This means that you have to basically try all three types in order to know which restore command to use (or any other trash command). If you could simply "get" the type, it would make things much easier, and more consistent.1 vote -
Overlay menu on left obscures window in Safari
The overlay menu that appears on the left side of the web page obscures the main Box window and cannot be removed. This happens when you are NOT viewing the Safari Sidebar. If you show the Safari Sidebar, the Box overlay menu does not obscure the web page.

Warn users of upcoming web session expiration.
It can be confusing to users that Box does not bring you back to your login page on session expiration, only after you try to complete an action. Suggest adding a notification to warn users they will be logged out in XX minutes due to inactivity. Alternatively, notify users they are logged out before they try to complete an action.

allow Box Drive to be installed on only one profile of a computer, not all by default
I have Box Drive installed on my profile of my laptop, which causes issues when my partner logs into his profile - Box Drive tries to open and then hangs, causing delay for him to log on every time. I stopped it from opening on start-up but this change was applied to both profiles, meaning it is now slower for me to get into Drive on my profile.
I have reported this to Box Support and was told this was the default for Box Drive, that it runs on start up for all profiles and the only way to disable…2 votes -
Make sync actually work correctly and reliably
Box seems to have abandoned any effort to improve sync. It has the same problems that it had 5? 6? 7? years ago. It takes forever to sync. It consumes huge amounts of CPU. It gets hung up all the time. A former associate who was friends with an employee of Box once (about 5 years ago) complained to the friend about the problems with sync. The employee's response: "use sync less." That appears to be Box's strategy: they don't fix the problems with the program; rather, their advice is use the program less. That's pathetic. Fix your software.

I would really love to be able to see and use my PDF bookmarks from within the Box preview service
I have large PDF files that are stored on Box. Rather than having to always download the files I would like to use the bookmarks within the PDF to navigate even if I am in the Box Preview function.
Thank you for considering this enhancement

Run report to demonstrates permanent deletion of files
I really need the ability to run a report that demonstrates that my files have been permanently deleted.
Given requirements in the various data privacy laws across the world, our company may be required to delete data or files at any time, and provide proof of deletion. However, once something is deleted from our Box account, it sits in Trash for 30 days before being permanently purged. (And, if I understand correctly, the data may be recoverable for 14 days after that?)

Organize feed by chronological updates
Now that the Updates tab doesn't let you go back further than 24 hours, you should be able to check the "Feed" and see all previews/downloads/etc going back in time. Right now it's all organized in a seemingly random fashion and it's unhelpful

collections folder is cumbersome and awkward, very hard to use
My favorites randomly auto populate in the left margin when I open box. My work efficiency is greatly affected by having to click on the collections folder and wait for a new screen then dig through the page to find the bookmark favorite that I want. The "old way" of displaying my favorites had no issues and the order in which my favorites were organized worked well for me. Please find a way to revert back to my favorites always being displayed in the left margin.

When viewing a folder on the website, I want to click on the ... menu to download, but if the item is too close to the top, can't see it
The right-click menu for items needs to be center better. I'm using Linux and Chrome

Why we don't have options to pause and resume particular item/all items while uploading
It would be good to pause and resume the item(s) while uploading and it helps a lot to give priority at basic level.

Add ability to remove shared content from the All Files page
One of the complaints we've heard from our users is the inability to move shared content to a location other than their All Files page. For users with a lot of shared content this creates folder sprawl. With the new Collections feature we had hoped this would be possible as Collections can be accessed via the left pane.

Box drive sync problem items path
Please add paths to problem items. In the Problem items box, which shows which folders could not be updated, folders are listed without the paths. So, when multiple folders are named the same thing in different trees, it is impossible to locate which folders are having the problem. I am using the most recent version of Box Drive on Mac.

As a qualitative researcher, I'd like to be able to collate annotations in Box Notes so it's easy to grab all of them w/o having to copy and paste each one. Right now, I can only copy and paste some of them, but for others, while I can read them, I can't click on the text to copy and paste (the annotation kind of drops from view). This would mimic some of the functionality in the Reviewing Pane in Word, where you can see all the comments made in one spot and copy and paste from there. Note that I'm…

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.
