Problem with workbook link in Excel
we have a problem with some excel files with embedded workbook links pointing to a BOX folder.
Today, after enabling BOX for Microsoft Office (desktop) some of these links changed from:C:\users\username\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername
To
api.box.com\userName\BOX\Boxdrivername\Boxfoldername
thus giving a file not found error when we reopen the "master" excel file.
How can we solve this problem?
Below is the procedure for reproducing the error.
Starting Configuration:
BOX drive installed: YES
Enabled Box for Microsoft Office Coauthoring: NO
In this example, the original file (test.xlsx) contains a link to a second file (linkedworkbook.xlsx) . As you can see the path is C:\users\svacchini\BOX\CIT.......…3 votes -

back up
Allow Box to automate back up to either a hard drive or 3rd party location automatically, give the recent concerns about CrowdStrike crash and how that stopped so many workdays, we want to protect ourselves if that were to ever happen in Box!

Ability to access public links/folders that aren't shared with a specific account via the Box desktop application
Sometimes a client sends a public link for a folder that is +100 GB. Downloading through the browser is obviously much slower than using the desktop application, but if the folder has not been shared directly with my account, I cannot access the folder via the app. Please implement a way of accessing public links via the Desktop application.

Download Collaboration
Uploading a file from a web browser
I would like to have the ability to automatically download a file uploaded from a web browser on a different computer.

- PC "B" (Win11) has a software program installed on it, and the csv file is imported by the software.
- The PC in environment B is always connected to the Internet while it is running, so we would like the uploaded file to be automatically…

Ability for users to set sorting preference
Box is not longer default showing files by file name. This requires resorting of files every time I open a folder, which is hundred of times a day.

status completion report when copying a file to another folder
Can we get a status completion report when copying a file to a new folder? Sometimes all the permissions don't copy over straight away, causing confusion. for example, I was unable to rename a file I just copied. I waited a while and then it worked.

Make an app for Windows like Dropbox for S
My employer blocks the installation of software like Dropbox and Box, but I use them for everyday work. There's a Dropbox for S app -- can Box release a similar Windows app? I believe there might've been one but it's been discontinued.

I want to be able to open a folder in File Explorer from Box.com
I've used Dropbox previously, and there's a feature on the browser version that allows you to open a files containing folder in File Explorer on Windows or Finder on OSX. For Box, the only options to open something on your computer from the web version is with the file's native app. It would improve our workflow significantly if we were able to open a file folder on our computer from the Box.com browser.
Thanks!

Not delete data flagged as "make available offline" when Box Drive is closed/logged out
Currently if data is generated and saved locally on a machine into the Box Drive folder, exiting or logging out of the Box Drive application will delete the local data on the machine, even if the folder it is saved into is marked to "make available offline".
We are a small physics research laboratory currently trying to migrate our data collection and storage from Dropbox to Box. We were disheartened to discover that if data is generated on a local machine, by collecting and saving it directly into the Box Drive folder, say, and Box Drive is logged out (by…
