  1. when viewing files and returning folder box site jumps to the top instead of selecting last open file

    When (pre)viewing files on it's own screen and returning to the folder, the box website jumps to the top instead of selecting last open file, this makes it difficult when dealing with massive amounts of files in a folder as I need to scroll back down to find where I was

  2. install and syncronize box in a chosen folder

    1. I am windows user. I wanted to install box and syncronize my box files in my local D: drive, because my C: drive is full. Surprisingly, the installation process of Box app does not provide such an option (of selecting which drive to install Box to). It by default is installed on C: drive . This is very insane. Windows Users can choose to install which drive to install any app.

    2. My C: drive is full, and I want to syncronise everything both in cloud and in local computer, but i cannot do so because C: drive is full, and…

  5. Display a dialog to confirm the intended operation.(操作が本意かを確認するダイアログ表示)

    I often accidentally move or delete files and folders in BoxDrive. To help prevent these mistakes, it would be beneficial to implement an option that displays a confirmation dialog before moving or deleting items. This would be a great help to many users.

    (in Japanese)
    BoxDriveで誤ってファイルやフォルダを移動または削除させてしまうことが多々あります。
    こういった誤操作を防ぐために、移動・削除前に確認ダイアログを表示させるオプションを実装してくれると、多くの人が助かります。

    I would like to be able to check the currently logged-in user account on the PC where I am using Box Drive.
    Please make it possible for users to check this information themselves.

    I want the administrator to be able to check which user account is using which PC.

  8. Upgraded my laptop, lost hundreds of files, Box support claiming files never properly synced

    Hi Box, I am incredibly frustrated and disappointed with your product. Your customer support team said I need to post the feedback here. I have been using Box Drive for the past four years and was using it to keep track of sensitive and important records and information related to my employer's financial statement audits. This included hundreds of workpapers and workbooks used to gather and compile information to send to our auditors for the company to pass our annual audit. I could view the files in Box Drive and in the online web browser, indicating that they had properly…

  9. Remove Box Drive path limit 260 characters in Windows

    Support longer than 260 character paths in Windows for Box Drive as this not a limitation in Windows but a limitation in Box Drive

    Due to Box user rights logic, we often have very long folder paths and file names. Our all workstations are Windows 10/11 workstations. Most of our users prefer the Box Drive solution over the Box.com web app.

    This leads to a situation where often paths in Box Drive are longer than 260 characters.

    Windows supports MAX_PATH which lifts the 260 character restriction: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry

    This instruction is referred in the Box instructions on this topic that state…

  10. Allow DES files to be synced via Box Drive

    We would like for DES files to be synced to Box cloud via Box Drive. They are currently being ignored in the same way PST files are ignored. Ideally, having the ability to enable/allow exclusions would be ideal.

  11. removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app

    Hey there,

    I’d like to request the removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app for Mac. When I delete a file, the system prompts me to confirm the action, which I find unnecessary and disruptive to my workflow. Since deleting a file requires deliberate actions—right-clicking and selecting delete—the additional confirmation step is redundant.

    In my line of work, I frequently delete files, and this extra step adds unnecessary friction to my process. If a file is deleted by mistake, it can easily be restored from the Trash folder, making the confirmation prompt an unnecessary inconvenience.

    I…

  12. Clearing the Recents section of Box Drive

    It's hard to believe that these 3 suggestions haven't already been made many times before.

    1. Add option to clear recents section

    2. Add option to choose what to remove from recents section

    3. Add option to disable recents section completely

  13. Box Drive & Box Shield

    Currently Box Shield classifies copy & pasting within Box Drive as downloading which results in a false alarm notification. It would be great to be able to see the difference between moving files and actually downloading files from a Box report.

  14. GoogleDrive Regarding file conflicts in

    BoxDriveI am aware that there are solutions for file conflicts like the one below, but there are some cases where the above cannot be resolved. (e.g., under a folder with "Hide" enabled).
    ・Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing function
    => https://support.box.com/hc/ja/sections/21356589562131
    ・Use BoxDrive's lock function
    => https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360061782454

    I would like Box to consider a feature like Google Drive that allows you to "overwrite" a file in a pop-up when a file conflict occurs.

  15. Prohibits operation of files and folders that have not been synchronized with the Box server(Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダの操作禁止)

    When operating a file or folder that has not been synchronized with the Box server, the update contents may not be reflected on the Box server and may be lost. To prevent this, we would like to have an optional function that prohibits users from operating a file or folder until it has been successfully reflected to the Box server.

    (In Japanese)
    Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダを操作すると、Boxサーバに更新内容が反映されず消失することがある。これを抑止するために、正常にBoxサーバに反映が完了するまではユーザの操作を禁止するオプション機能が欲しい。

  16. Open read-only in BoxDrive

    Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
    Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?

    -in Japanese-
    ビューアー権限のユーザーはファイルを更新することができないようになっているが、.xlsのように開くだけで更新されてしまうファイルの場合、BoxDriveでファイルを開くと都度エラーが発生してしまう。
    読み取り専用状態でBoxDriveからファイルを開けるようにしてほしい。

  17. Optional functionality when creating “shared links” directly from “box drive”

    When creating a “shared link” directly from a “box drive”, there is no ability to set an expiration date or password. It would be desirable to be able to set them for the purpose of preventing the creation of open links from reducing the level of security.

  18. Ability to Make Specific Folders Persistent in Box Drive

    In order for some of our CADD standards to work properly we have our users marking a specific folder for offline use. It would be nice if there was an admin setting to mark specific folders to be precached or persistent in Box Drive for specific users or groups.

    OneDrive now offers support for starting in background for RemoteApp. I tried the same regkey for Box but it didn't work, can the same functionality be added for Box Drive?

  20. Allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups

    I have found it inconvenient that Box Drive can only be enabled or disabled for all users uniformly.

    I believe that allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups would provide more flexible operation. Implementing this feature could enhance security and operational efficiency. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.
