Ignore unreadable files in Box Sync.
The users environment causes Excel to create unreadable temporary files. Box Sync will not sync temporary files. However, not being able to read the file causes Box Sync to throw and error and quit. The user would prefer Box Sync to ignore unreadable files.

Bookmarked items do not sync and are not visible in the Sync client
We use Box bookmarks to avoid content duplication. Since we also use Sync, it is a confusing end-user experience

Support for Differential or Bit-level Sync
We would like support for Sync to recognize differential changes made to a document and only sync the changes, instead of the entire document, especially for large documents.
1 voteThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.

Alert users that they cannot add root folders through Box Sync when 'Restrict Content Creation' is turned on
Users are attempting to upload folders to Box Sync which automatically appear as if a root folder would be made (acknowledging that the folder will not upload a red 'x' will appear).
The admin is asking for an alert that reminds the users that they cannot create root folders. Many of their end users have tried to upload folders through sync and assume that they will load despite the 'restrict content creation' setting.

Report to view amount of content synced for each user
This would be highly beneficial for admins to see if users have too much content Syncing. In addition, admins can keep their users from syncing too much content and having sync issues.

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.
