  1. Smart Access: Allow move/copy even with download restriction

    Download restriction restricts external users (editor permission) from moving content within folders they have access to. There should be an option to restrict download but also allow for moving and copying within folders that have the classification policy because to an end user, this is not a download function.

  4. Scheduled Lock/Unlock capability

    Add a feature that where owners can set up a reoccurring automated lock and unlock for day and time of the week. Same as you see in office outlook for reoccurring meetings, but with a locked file. This way users can only access the file/log during specific times and the owner can work the file when it's locked again. Currently, this is all manual and can cause issues when a report is still locked and users in different time zones need to add items to a log before a specific time in PST. The window for editing becomes short for…

  6. Collect user info when a box link is shared with non-box users

    The goal is to require non-box users enter their first, last name and email before accessing a Box shared link set to permission "People with the link".

    I.E, user will click on the link, re-direct to a sign up page requiring first, last name and email. After submitted they are routed to the training videos hosted on Box.

  8. Ability to store tagged images in one folder

    Let's say I have a folder full of images of people. I'd like to be able to tag each person and then send them the images that they're tagged in only.

  9. Avoid files loss upon uninstall

    The current uninstall app, on macOS, doesn't check on the syncing status of files. It erases the unsynced and cache folders directly, not even moving them to the system Trash.
    I've recently followed the process to update the BoxDrive macOS 12 beta and lost one week worth of files that hadn't been synced.

  10. Increase upload limit for files in a folder

    For people like myself who have a large number of files that need to be categorized in appropriate folders it is imparative that I make uploading easy for my team members.

    Box only allows 500 files per folder, which I understand is to prevent many files being lost at the same time, which I am thankful for.
    BUT....
    It would be great that during the upload process that box.com automatically created another folder to accommodate any files over the 500 mark.

    Don't you think?

  11. Advanced web based Text/Code editor functionality

    The box is missing a Web-based Text/Code editor, providing capabilities similar to Notepad++ with format & code-based markup using Scintilla-like capabilities.

  12. Empty Folder Notification

    Someway to turn on notification based on folder or another relay.
    Where specific folders cannot be empty, and after a week or so it is empty, we get a notification and alert once a month about it.

  13. Box drive's system extension update

    I am running BoxDrive version 2.23.422

    After I upgrade my Mac (for example, from BigSur 11.5 -> 11.6), I get an error dialog the first time I try to open Box Drive. It says "Box Drive's system extension failed to load. Please make sure it has been enabled in System Preferences > Security & Privacy and then restart your computer. ....".

    Reinstalling Box Drive and restarting the computer doesn't fix it. I found a workaround at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360051323454-Box-Drive-s-system-extension-failed-to-load which fixes it, but I have to apply that workaround each time I upgrade my computer. The problem should either be fixed, or…

  14. Dynamic File Requests

    The ability to utilize File Request to send dynamic file requests. We often request multiple files from our clients. These requests can be 25+ items. It would be beneficial to send a list of required information where the client (external user) could could upload the requested file and the file would retain the name of the item on the original list.

    The ability for external users (those with the file request) to see what items on the request list have been fulfilled and which items are still outstanding would be ideal.

    It would also be extremely helpful to be able…

  15. Download selected version when preview unavailable

    Download currently selected version in main window when preview is unavailable on Box.com

    Presently, if the preview is unavailable when reviewing file versions, there is a "Preview is unavailable" message and a "Download" button appears there, but it only downloads the current (latest) version, not the version selected in the side bar.

    While the file is available in the side bar with the ellipses, the download button does not indicate that is will only download the latest version, and not the version selected (but not preview able) in the side. This has caused confusion with our employees as our large…

  16. Shield access policy customization - inclusion/exclusion list for downloading files

    Interested in an inclusion/exclusion list FOR downloading files, as part of a Shield access policy.

    Ex: If Owners/Co-Owners/Editors are OK to download they want control the file types they can download. I know you can control this by just creating a separate classification and policy but that could cause too many of them. Better to create an filetype inclusion list

  17. Ability to prevent the admin passwords from expiring

    We have our copy machines scan documents directly into Box folders. However those processes periodically fail because Box currently has no ability to stop the Administrator password from expiring.

    Please allow an option in the Admin Console where you can select to have the Admin password not expire.

  19. Improve Gmail Integration

    I was hoping that the integration with gmail could be as robust as it is with outlook. I really enjoyed the features of the outlook Box integration and now that I'm on gmail it's a huge step backwards.

  20. Improve the Box for Slack to have the ability to save messages in Slack to Box

    My company's Slack has a 1-year retention policy and messages are to delete within 1 year. I would like to archive messages in Slack to Box (in any searchable form e.g. text, word, BoxNotes etc).

    For your information, Evernote can do this
