Support smartcard authentication for Box Sync and Box Drive.
Please put some more effort into federal customers inquiring about SSO sign in for Box Sync on Macs. The response I got was kind of a punt to our smart cards being the problem but fed agencies have an increasing mandate to login with smartcards. My specific issue may affect many other gov agencies that use Macs and Box Sync. Long story short – smart card certificate passthrough on Windows works as expected and certificates pass through Box Sync app login to the external SSO for USDA e-Authentication but the certificates don’t appear to make it to the external authenticator…

show full details of a file when integrated in finder
when viewing a file in a finder window (mac) I cannot view the details such as dimensions of an image. this is an extremely valuable feature for designers and developers using box to store their files.
4 votesThis is not currently planned, but we’d love to hear more use cases to help with the prioritization of this request!

Search API for exact match using hash
If you have a local file and need to know if the file exists in Box, the filename search isn't reliable to find the exact match. For example, there could be many logo.jpg files. Since the sha1 of the files are known, it would be great to expose it to the search API to find the exact file match.
This would be very useful for tools that help users migrate to Box without creating many duplicates of files.4 votes -

Add ability to batch rename multiple files
I'd like to be able to select all contents of a folder (ex. images taken by a particular photographer at an event) and standardize all file names (ex. EventPhotographer Name (1), EventPhotographer Name (2),...)
This is simple to do in Windows Explorer, but I really do not want to download and then re-upload for something so minor!4 votes -
Change the Box Logo
A box logo can’t be made of a cute font.
It should be boxy. Sharp angles. Makes sense.This is my interpretation to the box;

API to sync folders for users.
If we could sync folders directly through our internal web app it would cut several steps out of user workflows. I would love to put a sync slider next to the job line so they could sync directly from this screen.
Specifically, I am talking about leveraging the tools via APIs. So having an API we could leverage to sync folders down for users.
4 votesThis request cannot practically be implemented as an API. A client needs to control the state of local items on an endpoint such as a user’s computer, much like the Box Drive or Box Mobile clients do today. The only planned supported means for such synchronization capabilities are the Box Drive and Mobile clients.

Ability to set default application for Box Edit opening .md file
Sometimes Box Edit opening files in the program not set as default on MacOS
If a user installs Xcode on Mac OS, the user cannot open .md files with default application which set on Mac OS. The user would like to open .md file with Atom.app but it opened with Xcode.
User can do nothing to change the application. it is the OS that it's selecting XCode when it's installed.4 votes -
Drive: Available offline to specific folders and not enterprise wide
We would like to allow available offline for user drives only or work spaces. But network shares which is considerable larger shouldn't have this option. So If we allow admins the ability to choose what folders can be marked for offline instead of enterprise wide.

Ability to nest skill card metadata in the entries of skill cards
lets say I've created a custom skill that runs a transcription on a dropped audio or video file, identifying speakers a prepending the speaker title to each segment of continuously spoken text. If I could nest skill cards, I could run sentiment analysis on each segment and generate a skill card representing that (as a timeline card) while also cross linking any other areas of the file which had the same sentiment rating (using the provided 'appears').
This is just one example, but the flexibility would would lend its self to many more complicated implementations, possibly negating the need for…

Include a Disable Preview Option
I've been using BOX for years and the only complaint is from my clients who download from my shared links. Almost 90% of users complain that they get the message
"We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported."I understand from your viewpoint but from our viewpoint, we dont require such preview because our files are .zip, .rar, .7z, etc.
So PLEASE enable some option where I can enable or disable the auto-preview.
Remember, you guys are a cloud storage 1st solution. My clients should be able to download anything as simply as possible without getting confused about some…4 votes -
Save the default view for STL files on upload
We would like the ability to save the default view for STL files to save the orientation, render mode, and camera projection within the web preview
