Box Drive Should Show Files With Illegal Filenames or Characters
We need Box Drive to be able to point to the offending error in Windows Explorer or Finder. Click on the offending file, folder is opened and file is selected in Windows Explorer or Finder in order to fix.
33 votesThis is not something that we have on the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Notifications were suppressed for these items and we will be investigating different ways to make problem items in general more discoverable.

Fix Illegal Characters Automatically When Uploading Via FTP
FTP uploads currently allow illegal filenames or unsupported characters in filenames. This triggers sync and file errors in Box Drive.
7 votesThank you for your request. However, this is not something we will be focusing on this year. We will revisit this with additional demand.

Make login page more intuitive for non-managed users
When users or collaborators visit Box from the customer's account, they get confused when they get directed to their SSO page and not the login page.
A suggestion is to have the user input their username before getting redirected to the SSO page or make the “not a part of COMPANY?” a bigger option and more visible for the user.
40 votesDue to other higher priority initiatives, this is not prioritized at this time.

Allow Previewer Role the ability to search (ctrl+F) within a file
We would like to limit download of a file, but allow for the ability to Search the file on box (i.e. view it and search it for keywords).
10 votesOn account of our security stance we don’t want to expose the text layer unless a user has permission to download a file. As the text layer is required to initiate search we can not activate the feature for users who don’t have download permissions

Add ability to change permission settings for Box Drive to allow the share operation.

Allow for obfuscated URL references
When sharing a URL there are situations where one would rather obfuscate the company name (instead of showing such). Perhaps either there can be a "substitute" name that would be known to Box but would not be determineable by a recipient.
This feature is key when supplying evidence and wanting to avoid be named as a witness. At the moment, our company name appears in the URL making us a target for deposition.

Remove multiple collaborators from folders
Box currently does not have a way to remove multiple collaborators at bulk.
Currently, admin needs to manually remove multiple users by opening the appropriate folder and removing users one at a time.Suggestion can also apply to removing collaborators from multiple folders.
96 votesDue to other higher priority items, this has been deprioritized.

Add a tab in the admin console to find all active betas
It's difficult to find the beta sign up link for betas in the admin console. They are not all in one place.
Please create a tab in the admin console to find all active betas a customer can sign up for. This will standardize beta enrollment and improve our experience.

Access Stats: Include IP information from report preview in report export
While previewing the Access Stats, IP information is shared. When we export the report, it doesn’t give that information anymore. We would like for the IP information from the Access Stats preview to be included in the exported report.

Box Drive: Change icons for syncing vs. synced files
I honestly think the best solution is to have a smaller icon when the file is synced, and have a larger icon when the file is syncing. You’re assuming the file is synced at all times, so no need for a giant icon to say “yes, it’s synced”.
However when the file is syncing is when there could be an actual issue, so you could make that icon large to say “hey, this file isn’t up to date here, give us a second.

Prevent users from knowing whether or not a valid Box account exists in signup flow
You should not let users know that an account exists due to security reasons. This gives away the identity of email addresses associated with Box accounts. Please update your account creation flow accordingly.
