Rename dialog - for open file in Box web interface from Box Drive "Error updating an item..."
For me, the most common Box Drive updating error is a "Unsupported Name" (i am a Windows user). Please, make the "Error updating an item..." dialog more useful - give the opportunity to rename the file "in place", or at least the way to open the file in a Box web interface to correct the error

Ability to Change Sort Order
I'd like to be able to switch the sort order of folders to descending so I don't have to keep making multiple clicks each time I'm in and out of folders. The default is from oldest to newest, and I'd like to be able to reverse that and keep that as a preference.

Alert on folder names not allowed in Box web
Box Drive will alert when a folder name isn't valid. Would be nice that there would be a way to not allow folder names in Box web when Box Drive doesn't support it.

Ability to retain BoxDrive logs after logout/login.
I'd like BoxDrive logs to be retained after logout/login.
I would like to be able to get the log before I log out even if I have logged out of BoxDrive.
If you want to investigate the logs due to unexpected movement or problems, it will be difficult to investigate afterwards if you log out of the BoxDrive once for data safety and other reasons.
We want to prevent this from preventing us from identifying the cause of the problem.BoxDriveのログをログアウト/ログイン後も保持されるようにして欲しい
BoxDriveログアウトした場合でもログアウト前のログを取得できるようにして欲しい。
予期せぬ動きによりログを調査したい場合、データの安全などを考えてBoxDrive から一度ログアウトしてしまうとその後の調査が困難となります。

Cannot use Microsoft explorer search function for Box Drive
I cannot use the Microsoft explorer search function to select all the pictures stored offline in my box Drive directory under several sub directories using *.jpg function. I use Box to save a back up of my picture files. The only solution was to duplicate a separate directory with the sub directories of all the picture files in my hard drive and use *.jpg to select the pictures to play in the slide slow. This problem is NOT there for Drop Box or Mega directories where Microsoft explorer search function works fine. The native Box search function cannot be used…

List of Offline Folders in Box Drive
It would be great to be able to see a list of folders marked for offline availability in Box Drive. We've had a few users who end up accidentally using up too much hard drive space, but can't remember exactly what folders they've marked offline. We end up needing to have them sign out of Box Drive to clear all offline folders, then sign back in and re-mark folders they need.

"Box Problem Items" error dialog is useless
I received "file path is invalid on this system" errors from Box Drive through a "Box Problem Items" dialog. This window is useless! All it lists is the problem folder names. I can't simply rename the problem folder from this window; I can't click the folder icon and navigate to the problem folder in my file structure; I can't even swipe the file name and copy it into the search bar so I can find the problem folder on my own. Such a garbage error report! Please make this dialog actually useful

Open file from UI Elements without approval
Ability to open a file from UI Elements Open With with Box Edit without being prompted to Approve/Deny to proceed.
Currently, every time a file is opened from UI Elements, Box Edit displays the prompt and asks the user to Approve/Deny before the user can start locally opening and editing the file. This adds friction to user experience, and we want the option to not display this prompt and auto-approve the file open from UI Elements

Refresh function in Box Drive
Currently, it is necessary to logout/login to clear the cache and errors, but this is troublesome.

Enhance File/folder restoration process
File/folder restoration on Box is a slow and clumsy process. When my end users move/delete large folders by accident and try to restore them, it takes HOURS for it to restore and to my end users, it looks like nothing is happening until the process is complete. This large window of time where nothing seems to be happening further frustrates my end users and they make more changes during the restoration process further making a mess and I have to end up opening a ticket with support to clean up the mess. Why can't Box architect an "Activity" section in…

Bring back home directory "mountpoint" on the mac
I don't know if it's just me, or some problem with the privacy etc settings that have been a moving target with OSX lately, but after my latest reboot on a fully updated MacBook I was greeted with a popup from Box Drive saying it is now fully MacOS 12 compatible, and lo and behold, my /Users/app/Box directory is gone. I can only access Box files from the Explorer, but not the command line. I never looked into what the Box drive was exactly, a link, a mountpoint, no idea, but I miss it badly.

When using BoxDrive, sometimes the folder or file actually exists, but the message "This folder is empty" is displayed.
When using BoxDrive, sometimes the folder or file actually exists, but the message "This folder is empty" is displayed.
When opening a folder, I want you to incorporate the logic to judge whether it is empty and display "This folder is empty" or "Searching". If it says it's empty, you'll be checking Box.com. If it is displayed that it is being searched, a simple refresh is enough, such as transitioning to one parent folder and returning..6 votes -
Enhancement to file manager in box
I find box to be a clunky way to collaborate.
This is a linear search for files. Its not obvious how to sort by file name or date. There has to be a better way to organize files and directories. Microsoft file manager is far superior to this.

Box Drive Internet Explorer embedded authentication
Box Drive currently utilizes embedded Internet Explorer (IE) for authentication process. Microsoft will end support starting June 15, 2022 for IE. In addition, IE does support all current MFA protocols including FIDO2 (FIDO2 is supported by all other current browsers). We were informed by support that there is no roadmap to correct this and if this is not corrected by June 15, 2022 we will be unable to utilize Box within our organization due to lack of security being presented by Box and it imbedded IE.

Ability to logout and delete cache from Box Drive on OS reboot
Currently, it is necessary to logout/login to clear the cache and errors, but this is troublesome.
The burden of performing this operation on a regular basis is on the end user.It would be easier to use if the logout/deletion of the cache could be done on OS reboot.
（If it automatically re-logon after restarting OS, that would be even better)現状ではキャッシュやエラーをクリアするためにログアウト/ログインする必要がありますが、これは手間がかかります。
この操作を定期的に行うのはエンドユーザーに負担がかかってしまいます。OS の再起動時にログアウト/キャッシュの削除ができればより便利だと思います。
(OS の再起動後に自動的に再ログオンするようになれば更に良いと思います。)12 votes -
Folder colors
In Box it is not very easy to see what foders are shared externally. There are small globe icons on the collaborators, but if that list is too long, the external collaborator might not show up.
Apart from that: the list of collaborators is not visible in Box Drive.
Box should introduce a new Folder type (different color, different icon) to show that information in this folder is shared with external collaborators. This functionality should be available across all clients (Web, Drive, Mobile).
29 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!
