Unsyncing a subfolder should not make a folder "partially synced"
Once a folder becomes "partially synced" and new subfolder created in that parent folder will have to be manually synced.
User believes that unsyncing a subfolder should not have this effect on future content created in the folder.

Advanced filtering for sync
It would be nice if one could sync all information matching a certain query. This could be very useful for the Salesforce or NetSuite integrations. Users could sync all information matching something like:
vendor=GIRAFFE
or alternatively, simply match all vendors. As an addition it would be great if certain content types could be excluded:
match all vendors, but leave out the images and logos.

Add functionality for ad-hoc sync
Some files are hanging during the sync process. This is usually solved when we log out and back into the sync application, but this is not ideal.
We want to know if there is a way to add a button or option in the Sync app to restart syncing/scanning while logged into the application.

Make the problem files screen more usable
Make problem files hyperlinked back to the Web App so users can easy click to take a look at the document on box.com.
It's not always clear whether a problematic file exists only on my desktop, only on Box, or both. Clearer signals about that would be appreciated too.

Unsync or Delete from Box notification.
Our admin believes having the pop up appear before the scan would reduce mistakes. If there is a large folder sync'd the pop up occurs after it has scanned the folder which can take a few minutes.
Users continue with their work and when the pop up eventually appears they are making mistakes as they do not read it and clock dismiss.

Box Sync not updating Icons on my documents folder redirect change
Box Sync works correctly if the my documents redirect is configured the first time. However if the folder is redirected to a different folder, and the files are not moved by the location tab under my documents but simply the location is updated, the my documents icon is not reset to a simple folder.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a pristine box sync (first setup).
Redirect your document folder to a folder below box sync.
(Up to this point everything is fine)
Stop box sync (quit from mini icon)
Open the location tab again and redirect the folder again, this time…0 votes -

File Type Support: .nd Files
Have .nd file types supported on the Box Sync product. We use .nd files not for QuickBooks files, but for models we build. We would like there to be an option to upload these types of files through the sync interface.

Add "Cancel" Button to dialog window when removing a folder from Box Sync
When deleting a folder through Box Sync, a confirm deletion window pops up and warns the user that deleting the folder will remove it from all collaborator accounts but unsyncing will remove the folder from their computer only.
It then only gives the option to click the buttons "unsync" or "delete". User thinks there should be an option to cancel to better account for user errors.

Report on Sync Errors
Our admin would like to report on sync errors, e.g. user receiving error, date of error, type of machine - Windows vs. Mac, OS X 10.11.4 vs 10.11.6, etc.).
This will allow us to troubleshoot and hone in on issues that may be specific to certain environments, monitor trends in issues, recommend best practices

Add second step when creating Shared Link for a folder
When somebody clicks on share a folder through a link, it directly creates a link to the folder even if they close the tab and do not share it.
REQUEST: Include a second step to avoid the creation of links by mistake. A person ended up creating an open shared link hundreds of documents without saving or sharing the link

Enterprise site for external collaborators
We'd like the ability to offer external collaborators a specific domain or sub-domain when collaborating in our company's folder.
Intent is to better adoption with agencies that are hesitant to allow our Box account on their networks as it currently means that have to all All-Box on their network (e.g. app.box.com)
