  1. BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using

    BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

  2. GoogleDrive Regarding file conflicts in

    BoxDriveI am aware that there are solutions for file conflicts like the one below, but there are some cases where the above cannot be resolved. (e.g., under a folder with "Hide" enabled).
    ・Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing function
    => https://support.box.com/hc/ja/sections/21356589562131
    ・Use BoxDrive's lock function
    => https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360061782454

    I would like Box to consider a feature like Google Drive that allows you to "overwrite" a file in a pop-up when a file conflict occurs.

  3. Quickly get a list of folders with NO collaboratoins

    We have a few hundred abandoned/orphaned folders from people who left the enterprise, but did not transfer ownership of files. The folders were not deleted when the accounts were deleted. I could quickly delete quite a few of them if there are no collaborations--going by the logic that if there are no collaborations, there is nothing important in them and could easily be deleted since no one has missed the data for several years.

  4. SSO "Part of Company" landing page customization

    If SSO is enabled, users (both managed and external) can be prompted with a page asking if they are part of our organization. When you select continue, it take you to the SSO page, which Not a part of Company takes you to login with you Box credentials.

    This language is confusing for our external collaborators, as they often think they are part of our organization.

    We would like the ability to customize or alter the language on this page to make it clear that the Continue button is for employees only.

  5. Open read-only in BoxDrive

    Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
    Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

    -in Japanese-
    ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
    読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。

  6. Error Message

    I keep getting an error message "Unable to open folder" but it's not for any folders that I am trying to access. It doesn't happen all the time but at random times and on random days?

  7. Request for improvement of search function

    The search function is inconvenient and we would like to suggest improvements.
    There are two main points:

    ① Exact match impossible
    ・On the website, there is a statement that You can perform an exact match search by adding'' in the search field, but even if you do this, it will not result in an exact match. (For example, if you search for "Furusato", you will get hits for characters such as "fu" and "to")

    ⇒ Exact match search is not possible (search is performed based on characters)

    ② 10,000 byte search range limit (only the first 2 to 3…

  9. Version icon and file information not being updated.

    One a document hits version 2, the version counter no longer goes up if the document is updated. The properties > file information is not updated either, which means it does not show the latest modified date and time as if there is a lag.

  10. improve the incorrect display of the screen after setting up to prohibit uploading with a free account within our company using BVE settings

    Using BVE settings, we set up our company to prohibit uploading with free accounts and verified it.

    We would like to ask you any questions or requests regarding the verification results.
    The contents are summarized in the attached documents, so please check them.

    I would like to provide only a summary of the questions and requests.
    I was able to verify the environment where uploading is not possible, but the screen display during operation is
    ・Incorrect display
    (Display of "Some parts could not be uploaded" even though not all could be uploaded)
    ・It is a terrible display of expression.
    (Oops!…

  13. Mirror files in one location to another

    Add the ability to mirror files from one location to another. If we have /Investment/Deals/financialReport.xlsx we want to have the option to mirror it to another location such as /Investment/Investor Profiles/Axel Pina/financialreport.xlsx.

    The feature should include the file's versions. If the file is edited in location one, it should be reflected on location 2.

  14. Display the user which last authorized a Box Custom App

    Display the Admin's email who authorized a custom app on the Platform Apps Manager page (this currently shows App Name, Last Activity, Developer Email, Authorization Status, Enablement Status) or in the "View App Details" view for a custom app.

    As Primary Admins and Co-Admins can change, this would allow users/admins to quickly identifying the users/email who authorized an application. Reducing confusion or the need to run a report, when determining if an app is still needed or can be removed.

  15. Extending the Attach files as shared links functionality to Box for Outlook mobile

    Per https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195733-Understanding-Box-and-Outlook-Integration-Options, the Box for Outlook integration only supports attaching files as shared links on desktop. Requesting that this functionality extends to iOS and Android.

  16. Attach files directly in Outlook (iOS/Android) with the Box for Outlook integration

    You should be able to use the native Outlook attach file option to add Box files into Outlook emails on iOS and Android.

    It seems like a real oversight to lock down Intune and block saving to OneDrive, locally on the phone etc. and then give users a terrible experience where they try and attach a file to an email and there's no available location to get files from and instead you have to go into Box first and share the link from there.

  18. File Open Integrations

    When opening a file using Excel Online, it opens in a new tab in the browser. This new tab has no Forward or Back sites available which allows for easy navigation of the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.

    However, when you do the same thing for a Google Sheet, it opens in the same tab as the Box folders. That means the site has Back options. This makes it incredibly difficult to navigate the spreadsheet when using a trackpad.

    Can we have some consistency with the file integrations?

  20. Box Shield - ability to save Shield Alert details to MS Word and PDF document

    There should be a button on face of Box Shield Alert that enables user to save the alert to Word or as PDF. This can then be forwarded to line managers if details are requested to challenge or discuss with their staff
