1. Ability that restrict to create a file/folder on the root folder and move/copy to the root folder on Box Drive

   .Ability that restrict to create a file/folder on the root folder and move/copy to the root folder on Box Drive if their enterprise set "Restrict content creation"

   Currently, we can perform operation create/move/copy in the root folder on Box Drive even though our enterprise set "Restrict content creation".
   Of course, the files/folders are marked as problem items, but if we move to the folder directly under the root folder, it looks like they have been moved to the folder, so logging off from Box Drive or replacing with new device due to hardware issue may lead to lose some contents.

4. SQ1

   I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro X and it uses a Microsoft SQ1 processor. Box Drive currently does not work with this processor. As we are rolling out these Surface Pro X's with our company it would be great to get box drive to work with the new SQ1 processor.

6. Select folders from hard drive to sync with box

   Rather than syncing to a separate Box folder on my desktop, I would an application that would make it able to flag folders and files that already exist on my hard drive. I would very much prefer to be able to open my Windows Explorer and right-click on a folder and make a selection that would automatically sync that folder from where it is in my hard drive to Box.

7. Enable opening of objects with long folder paths

   In Box Sync, you were able to open files regardless of path length - there was sometimes an issue with saving long path files, but not with opening.

   In Box Drive, you cannot open files with long path lengths...which is obviously a problem for any organization that uses a deep folder structure.

   Solely seeking feature parody between box sync and box drive...

10. Box Drive Tour and Updates

    We have added Box Drive to our VDI image. At each login, a user logs into Box Drive as if it was the first time when logging into a VDI computer. We'd like the option to be able to skip the Box Tour as it doesnt need to repeat every time.

    Additionally, we'd like to disable Box Drive updates as we'd want to do them on a controlled basis on the image.

11. Box Drive - Add Support for .pst Files

    While .pst files are visible from Box's web client, they are not visible from Box Drive. This results in an inability to connect .pst files from Box to Outlook, and is preventing us from rolling out Box across our enterprise.

12. Disable background sync of Box Drive (for throttled or metered connections)

    See below for link and post in the Box Community.

    This feature would allow background syncing to be turned off for Box Drive. Because MFO and caching are stored in a "container" that is only available while Box Drive is running - there is no way to access MFO files while connected to a bandwidth limited internet connection. You either are forced to background sync or not have access to your MFO files.

    https://community.box.com/t5/Desktop-and-Mobile-Forum/Disable-Box-Drive-background-syncing-for-low-bandwidth/m-p/73642#M4005

    Disable Box Drive background syncing for low bandwidth connections
    I've (mostly) adapted to using Box Drive instead of Box Sync.

    But a key feature that was lost is the ability to NOT SYNC folders that are marked for offline use.

    Because of the way the offline/cache is stored, the Box Drive MUST be running in order to access those folders.

    If you are working in a throttled/limited bandwidth environment, this can be problematic.

    For example - on inflight Wifi - if you have a synced folder that you are making many (even small) modifications to, Drive will blithely try to update all of those files - hogging bandwidth. Then GoGo decides you are using too much bandwidth and throttles you - even on other apps. Or I am using my phone's hotspot and a coworker drops a HUGE InDesign file into an offline sync folder - chewing through my data plan.

    Unless there is some secret that I haven't discovered, I'm in a catch 22. I can shut down Drive - but then I lose access to my offline files. If I leave it running, it hogs the bandwidth. (With Sync, I could kill the sync app and all my local files were fully accessible and editable. Get to the hotel and re-enable Sync and away it goes, matching everything up. Dropbox was even better - I could run a macro based on WIFI SSID name and issue a command line to enable or disable sync.)

    Best I've managed to do so far is use an app like "Little Snitch" to choke a particular apps access to the TCP/IP stack and fool drive into thinking I wasn't connected to the internet.

    Anyone else have a better solution?

13. I want Japanese mark of a voiced sound in speech characters to be unified with NFC.

    I want Japanese mark of a voiced sound in speech characters to be unified with NFC.

    -Overview-
    example: the 'ga' syllabary series in the Japanese alphabet
    'ガ'is U+30AC on windows or unix/linux
    -> NFC(Normalization Form Canonical Compression)
    'ガ'is U+30AB U+3099U on mac OSX
    -> NFD(Normalization Form Canonical Decompression)

    As you know, mac OSX　use only NFD.
    Windows use NFC usually, but NFD can be used at the same time.

    When trying to share BOX folder between Win and mac, Inconvenience occurs.

    -problem-
    First
    In Windows explorer, NFC and NFD are displayed as the same character on the screen, so they are indistinguishable.

    The second
    In Adobe InDesign, image files are managed as "link files", but file names are managed by NFC, so upload InDesign data created on mac OS to the shared BOX folder and download it on Windows. Cutting file link will occur.

    The third
    Where NFC uses one character in UTF-8, NFD uses two characters in UTF-8.
    The file "がぎぐげござじずぜぞだぢづでどばびぶべぼぱぴぷぺぽガギグゲゴザジズゼゾダヂヅデドバビブベボパピプペポヴ.txt" can be used on macOSX, but this file cannot be saved on the BOX server by Finder using BOX Drive.
    Even if two characters are used, "xx.txt" uses only 106 characters.
    And from Windows PC,
    The file "がぎぐげござじずぜぞだぢづでどばびぶべぼぱぴぷぺぽガギグゲゴザジズゼゾダヂヅデドバビブベボパピプペポヴ.txt" (By NFC) there will be no problem with BOX Drive.
    But, with macOS X / Box Drive, the inside of the BOX server is not displayed in the Finder.
    "がぎぐげござじずぜぞだぢづでどばびぶべぼぱぴぷぺぽガギグゲゴザジズゼゾダヂヅデドバビブベボパピプペポヴ.txt"(By NFC) uses only 55 characters in NFC.
    Are you having another problem?

    -Operation on mac OSX-
    When writing to a FAT32 formatted USB memory device on mac OSX, write the file name using NFC.

    When uploading data to a shared folder using the cifs protocol on mac OSX, write the file name in NFC format.

    When uploading data to a shared folder using the AFP protocol on mac OSX, write the file name in NFC format.

    On mac OSX, write file name in NFD format only when writing data to HFS+ format HDD.

    mac OSX does not accept any NFC on HFS+, and NFC automatically converts to NFD when downloading data from the BOX server.

    -Proposal-
    When writing data to the BOX server using BOX Drive for MacOS, please convert it to NFC instead of NFD and write the data.

    When uploading to the BOX server, no one will be troubled even if it is converted to NFC instead of NFD and saved. Inconvenience has occurred rather than being saved as NFD.

    -Additional explanation-

    mark of a voiced sound in speech characters is below.

    がぎぐげご
    ざじずぜぞ
    だぢづでど
    ばびぶべぼ
    ぱぴぷぺぽ

14. Possible bug: large directory fails to enter upload queue after uploading file to sibling directory

    I edit videos. When I'm done, I upload the finished video to one Box directory, then upload the project directory to a sibling Box directory. The finished video is 8 to 15 megabytes. The project directory has 2 files totaling about 100 megabytes.

    When I try to upload the project directory, it often just doesn't enter the upload queue after selecting it for upload from the modal upload window. I can do this multiple times and it doesn't upload. After reloading the page, then it will upload like normal.

    This doesn't interrupt my workflow at all, but it might be a symptom of a bug. However I can't reproduce it with small files and an analogous directory tree.

15. Drag and drop web URLs to Box Drive folder in Windows File Explorer

    Posting a request to add functionality to Box Drive that will allow drag and drop URLS from web browsers directly to Box Drive folder in windows file explorer.

    Currently, it's possible to store web URLs in Drive if you save them to your desktop first. We would like the ability to skip this step and save URLs directly from Chrome for example to Box Drive.

16. Would love to have files/folders in numbered order when more than 9

    In some of my Box Drive folders I would like to number the sub folders/files for best structure. So the folder names would be something like: 1. Budget, 2. Production plan, 3. ...... 10. Casting, 11. Marketing, and so on.
    But when I have more than 9 folders numbered like this they will not keep in the numbered order. 10 and 11 comes before 2 and so on. This drives me and my coworkers crazy. Is there any way to fix this so that they keep in the numbered order 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 and so on?

    Box currently does not support Emojis in filenames, which means it won't sync if I drag and drop a file from my desktop into Box Drive. It would be great if Box would support the same characters in file names as current OSes

20. Request for Long-Term-Support (LTS) release for Box Drive

    we request for Long-Term-Support (LTS) release for Box Drive.
    Currently, box drive is updated too much frequently, therefore it is very impossible for us to upgrade Box drive to latest version in a adequate timing (when we upgrade box drive, it takes long time to validate and install box drive every time).We would like to use box drive as long as possible in the same version: Long-Term-Support (LTS)(We do hope that support term should be at least longer than 6 months) .
