Provide an option to sync files with names beginning with '.'
Box sync / box drive needs to provide an option or a setting that will enable files whose names begin with '.' to be sync'ed.
Reason: I would like to be able to use Box Drive as storage for projects that I manage via Eclipse and GIT. However there are files and directories named .git and .project that currently box drive does not sync, which makes using my box drive as storage for such things impossible.3 votes -
"Non-private custom URL" language is wrong
The new language around custom URLs is wrong. In link settings the checkbox reads: "Publish content broadly with a custom, non-private URL."
If I understand correctly (and I really think I do) how broadly the content is published is 100% controlled by the "People with the link / People in your company / Invited people only" setting in the prior screen.
Checking the box to create a custom URL does NOT publish the content broadly if a restricted setting is used, and does NOT make the URL "non-private".
This setting should be labeled with plain speech that doesn't imply anything…

Auto select search text upon opening Box Drive
When I Press Shft+Ctrl+Alt+B to activate the search function, the previous search text is in the search bar. It's highly unlikely I'm going the same search a 2nd time. The text should auto highlight, so I can just start typing for the next search. Currently you have to manually select the text to overwrite.

Disable shared link expiration notifications
This unstoppable auto-notification [for shared link expiration], specifically, is the worst. While we are a fairly small firm, we use Box pretty extensively and we use shared links pretty extensively. All of our shared links automatically expire. As a result, my inbox is continuously inundated with this notification (we’re talking nearly 100, each day). I don’t have the time to look at each and review them. I don’t know if anyone could ever actually have the time to review them and make any kind of meaningful decision or conclusion based on, what is effectively, spam. With no way to stop…

Add sorting and filtering to "My Cases" on Community site
When I go to "My Cases" on the Box Community site to view open support cases, I have a table with headings ID - SUBJECT - CREATED - UPDATED - PRIORITY - STATUS
I would love the ability to sort the columns, but that is not an option.
I do not see any way to display more than 20 cases on a page, so I need to view my cases on different pages.There is ONE filter, but it is not so useful, because there are multiple "statuses" that would be useful to see together, such as a way to…

Nesting Box Notes into Sub Folders
This seems very simple. Just one level of subfolder nesting would help out tremendously!

Lock/unlock sub-folders at will
Product enhancement request: Create one main link to access a folder and its sub-folders, yet block some sub-folders from being downloaded. Benefit to user is that I can load all files at once, yet allow access only when I choose to. I can provide the link to users once. This saves me time and reduces confusion. An example of how this is being used is for a product launch where some files have been approved for distribution and the others have not yet, but will be “released” later in the week.
Example:
· Create Folder 1
· Underneath is sub-folders…3 votes -

If I include a URL in the optional sharing message, my message is lost.
It would be better for Box to display a warning in-line that URLs are not allowed than to have the message just be lost. Even better would be to allow URLs in messages.

Anyone can upload file via shared link
I want that through the shared link anyone who gets that link can be not only viewer but also uploader. This would be very helpful for us when collecting data,pictures, files - anything.
It would be great to have option 1. viewer only option 2. viewer and uploader - that way we can choose if people can only view or view and upload.3 votes -
Fix the copy/paste feature so that random spaces are not removed from the pasted content
When copying from one Box Note to another (and probably from other rich text sources also), numerous spaces are removed from the pasted text. Often times, spaces are removed immediately following hyperlinks, but also from between random words throughout the text, requiring a complete, time-consuming review and cleanup of the new content.

trash
Would like to have a permissions level where only the admins are able to permanently delete files from the trash. We dont need Governance, only the option to restrict users from permanently removing/deleting any company files/folders.

Fix Favorites sort order between side bar and main view for Japanese file names
Currently the Favorite sort order is not the same between sidebar and favorite view.
It appears that on Favorite view, items are sorted in order of UTF-8 code point (when you sort by name) whereas in sidebar, items are sorted in a similar way as Window explorer.

Shared link prompts
We would like for box pop-up that indicates this content will be publicly available to anyone with shared link to also have a message where managed users are notified why that is being prompted and that the root folder has an open shared URL link and that is why they are seeing that when they do not have permissions to the parent folder.

Access direct URL to file from Folder Tree Report
We really would like to be able to access the url for the direct path to a file associated with a NetSuite record. The Folder Tree Report gets us to the page the file is on but not the actual file.

Customer Privacy
I noticed a bug in your system. You can set permissions so that users cannot see other users. However, I discovered a loophole that would compromise this and allow users to access other user's personal information like email addresses. When typing an email on the comments section, it will display other user's email addresses even when those permission are set off. I was told by a Box customer service rep that there is no way to set user permissions and avoid that customer privacy problem.

Would have appreciated more notice in regards to changes made depreciating the old API when File Request was released.
We missed the notice where everything using the old app would break. We had used this app to embed many upload widgets in web pages, then they all broke simultaneously. We were left scrambling to fix every page that was broken. It’s just a lengthy process on our end to replace the functionally that was broken in our all live pages.”
