  1. Add history to box drive search box as it is ussual in all good software!

    There is no history in box drive search box! Viewed/edited files are even missing in the last open files in word or excel! Why I must enter search criteria again and again? Hire an UX specialist to tell you what to do!

  3. prevent file download to local drive for editor

    We would like to have the ability to prevent a user with editor access from being able to download the shared folder content.
    According to https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/13404788095507-Restrict-download-access, it seems not possible.

    Our goals are:
    - Allow them to create files/folder, and to edit them from within the Box drive.
    - Prevent them from downloading the files into their local drive and take it with them.

    As a security measure of data loss prevention.

  4. Custom color change setting on individual files

    Just a simple custom color setting on files would be excellent. The standard purple that Box uses to display the file type really clashes with our branding. We are using the embed widget and turned off the Box logo which is really helpful, but when the audio file plays it shows up purple and does not look custom at all.

    1.Grab the email addresses from participants list in the invite
    2. Create a box note with the original details from the meeting invite (description, date..etc)

    6. Add the box note link to the meeting invite at the bottom…

  6. Better (or customizable) bandwidth limits for wedding media companies

    Better (or more customizable) monthly bandwidth limits and no transfer speed limitations. I run a wedding media company that does about 200TB of bandwidth/year. Coming from Dropbox, I think there is definitely a vacuum in the market for a cloud company to pick up their slack, especially for wedding producers...

  10. Organizing Shared folders. Can't rely on collaborators to do it.

    It would be very helpful if I could move shared folders into a "folder" (choose your term for some thing that would mimic a folder) that would allow me to group all shared folders together. Ideally, I would be able to create my own hierarchy within that folder to be able to organize all of the shared folders how I want vs. just having every shared folder cluttering up my Box root level. I know I can use Collections, however, Collections don't show up in Box Drive.

  11. Need multiple options for 2-factor authentication

    Please allow multiple options to receive a 2-factor authentication code. If I were to lose access to my cell phone or change the phone #, then I would be unable to receive a code via SMS and be locked out of Box.

    In addition, please ensure the options other than 2FA code via SMS actually are viable options. Right now, the authenticator option doesn't work - no QR code is generated by Box for me to scan with my phone. The e-mail option also doesn't work - I keep getting an error message that the default e-mail is invalid ...…

  12. Show Affected File Details in Exported User Activity Report for Removed Collaborations

    When running a User Activity Report on Removed Collaborations, you are able to see the granular file name details on the Box website when selecting "View" and hovering over the affected user.

    Please include this in the report output that is exported when selecting "Run" as currently the report only shows "Parent Folder" which is misleading when restoring access as there are cases when the collaborator only had permission to a specific file inside the parent folder causing issues when restoring access for users that were offboarded and then onboarded again due to internal processes.

    This will also improve audit…

  14. BoxDrive behavior of files with the “Browser Use Only” classification label

    We are considering setting up a "Browser Only" classification label for collaborative editing of Office applications to enforce download restrictions so that collaborative editing is only possible in the browser.
    However, when a user tries to open a file with the "Browser Only" label, the viewer and previewer will not be able to open the file because of the download restriction.
    Also, when opening BoxNote from BoxDrive, you will be redirected to the browser, but Office files must be opened by right-clicking on Box.com and previewing them, and when editing, you must perform online editing.

    (1) The basic specification of…

  15. Locating who/when files are Moved/Removed (accidentally or on purpose)

    If a user moves/renames/removes files, the URLs shouldn't simply be dead links now. Please record information so that impacted users know When the file was moved/removed, and WHO did the action.
    I recently had Box Notes and Folders get moved or removed. And while I know who SHOULD have been the owner of the content, anyone else having problems finding the content wouldn't know who to contact.
    So if a box link was previously valid, and that content has moved or removed, leaving some breadcrumb for the user, about who to contact, when the content was moved/removed, etc, can help…

  16. hidden files

    We use Box Drive for Backup purposes (company policy dos not allow any other product for that purpose). Would be great to have a possibility to upload also the hidden config files which are marked with a dot in front of the filename (e.g. .abc-config) using macbook.

  20. Online-only applied recursively to mixed folder

    It would be great if you could "online-only" a given folder when its contents within are a mix of partially online and offline.

    My workflow often requires me to have individual files sporadically made available offline within folder structures, over weeks and months. Easy to lose track of what's locally stored and what's not.

    I don't seem to have an option available to click on a given folder with partially offline / partially online files and just tell it to all become "online only" in a recursive manner.

    On these types of partially synced folders, all I see is the…
