   Thanks for the feedback! Users already have the ability to selectively sync (mark content for offline access) today in Box Drive. What I believe you’re asking for is a curated view of content you select to show up in Box Drive. That’s something we’re considering as we think about how to solve the content sprawl issue in Box Drive.

2. My Collections on Box Drive

   Just wondering you may develop 'My Collections' function on Box Drive.

   Thanks for the suggestion! We are looking at how to improve content sprawl on Drive. We will be considering Collections as a possible path (among other options), but don’t have a change planned in the near-term.

3. Jump to the same path on Box Drive directly from Box Web

   Like Dropbox app, we would like a capability to move directly from Box Web to Box Drive. The usecase behind this is that we want to edit a file from Box Drive not Box Edit but want to search on Box Web.

4. Expose Favorites in Box Drive

   Favorites are becoming more and more popular now that they're better exposed (in the left rail) in the new Web App.

   As such, users expect to access their Favorites list regardless of which endpoint they're using - webapp (supported), mobile (supported), or desktop (not supported via Sync or Box for Desktop).

   REQUEST: Add a 'Favorites' view to Box for Desktop content (somehow) that allows the user to view only their Favorites (files + folders) just like they do in the webapp.

5. Fix file/folder size, counts, dates and storage

   I'd like to preface this by saying that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not an idea. Even so, Box suggested we post this here to get others to chime in and say that this should be fixed.

   This is a problem that's been around for at least 1.5 years.

   Often, when an account's folders and files are transferred to someone else, the account from which the data was transferred still shows something greater than 0 bytes owned. This becomes a problem for deleting that user, because we can't be sure if the transfer worked, and we don't want to delete an account that has data that will be lost forever. This seems to happen, more often than not, for accounts that have a lot of owned data prior to the transfer.

   At the moment the workaround is to have a script run every day to detect when this has happened, and to then create a Box ticket to have someone in Box support run their own homegrown script that rectifies the situation for the individual account. (Note, Box created this script because this is a known problem that they have to regularly fix.) So, it takes our time to detect it and create the ticket, and it takes Box's time to fix it and deal with the ticket. This happens almost every week at least one time.

   After 1.5 years, it's about time to fix this readily reproducible problem!

   We are working on an improvement here that will correct these file/folder counts, dates within 24 hours and usually much faster, and plan to ship it later this year. This is the first of a few planned improvements.

7. Shared Box Sign group status dashboard / Ability to share sign requests with team members

   When sending out Box Sign requests we need the ability for multiple team members to check in on how current Box Sign requests are progressing. They can't be tied to just the sender as sometimes staff work part-time and another staff member has to go in and push the signature along.

   It would be amazing to see Box Sign have access to groups for a group based dashboard e.g. Finance Team. That would enable everyone in the group to go in and track the current Sign requests and push them along when another team member isn't around to do so.

8. Open Shared Link Controls: Default Password Requirements for Open Shared Links

   REQUEST: Admin would like the ability to set a global control whereby all public/open ('people with the link') links must have a password.

   Our current controls on shared links impact all 3 Shared Link permissions causing additional impact on the user experience.

   Instead of “require password” security control, we intend to support “Require OTP” requirement for public links (via SMS, Email, or TOTP). I wanted to share where we are headed. We do not plan on delivering this ask as is, but we do intend to solve the security use case behind it.

   Please comment if you disagree.

9. Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI

   The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
   It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
   We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
   Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
   Please improve performance.

   「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」

   Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
   操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
   Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000～2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
   上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
   性能改善をお願いします。

10. Run User Activity Report with API

    We would like to be able to run User Activity Report through the API.
    Users, groups and affected folders/files can be selected as a filter to export/run this report against. But today, keyboard typings and mouse clicks are required to select each filtering, which would be unrealistic to specify tens or hundreds of users, groups, folders and/or files.
    Thus, We would need API to utilize/filter User Activity Report at scale.

11. Customize Collaborator Permission Levels

    Any chance that we can have some flexibility in the "Collaborator Permission Levels." Can we develop a tool to edit these levels, like check which function the user can have. Having set levels with no flexibility is difficult because every user needs different access.

12. Allow admins to report on activity of external collaborators.

    We want to report on external collaborator usage of our specific content for a number of reasons:

    1) to be able to access if their external collaborators are no longer using our data and should be removed

    2) to help us understand how their internal users are working with people outside of the enterprise.

    Right now, the reporting is limited to showing when people have accepted folders, or users can go to access stats - neither of these options is sufficient.

    Ability to see activity of external Collaborators.
    a. Downloads, uploads, previews, edits, etc.
    b. We can see my managed users but can't seem to find any activity for external collaborators other than they were invited and accepted the invite.

14. Add "Like" button to comments

    I would like to "like" comments on the preview so that is is easier to show that I have checked the comment without typing a new comment to say I have checked it.

15. Create a Box group/alias or ability to select a different name to replace the workflow owner’s name.

    I’ve created several Relay workflows across the business and the issue I found is that people are reaching out to me because my name is tied to a task that is assigned to them. Often times, I do not have any context to the workflow so it results in me having to reach out to the person who started/uploaded the document. We want to avoid approvers having to reach out to the workflow owner vs. the actual owner of the program. This process would not be sustainable if it were rolled out to a larger company.

    Currently Example: Hayley creates workflow in Relay > Relay is kicked off by end-user > Box assigns an approver a task. The task is assigned by the owner of the Relay workflow - “Hayley has assigned a task to Approver.”

    Proposed Example: Hayley creates workflow in Relay > Relay is kicked off by end-user/uploader > Box assigns an approver a task. The task should either read - “[End-User/Uploader] has assigned a task to Approver” OR “[Alias - People Operations team] has assigned a task to Approver.”

    This is not technically possible with the current non-persistent architecture of Box Drive.

    When the ‘Box’ folder disappears (whens users quit, update, log out) Windows folder redirection creates a new ‘Box’ folder to continue to redirect content. This forks the redirection out of Box Drive.

    Workarounds have been investigated heavily, but the cost to implement is too large to commit to the roadmap now.

20. Syncing bookmarks and Windows shortcuts between Box Drive and online.

    To better organize my personal Box files and share with teams, I've saved my files in the team folder and used a Windows shortcut (in Box Drive) in my personal Box folder to link files/folders elsewhere on Box. Box Drive doesn't sync Window's shortcuts so these links are lost when working online. The workaround online is to use the bookmark function, using file/folder URLs to create shortcuts. It would be great if bookmarks or window's shortcuts synced between online and Box Drive modes. At the moment I'm having to bookmark online and shortcut on Drive to link up files and folders. This is double the work and if I delete my Cache, the short cuts on Box Drive will be lost. Is there a better approach or solution to this problem?
