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.

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…

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

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.

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…

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.

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/360061782454I 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.

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.

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。

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.

Display the person who is holding the lock.（ロックを取得している人を表示）
Since it is not displayed who is locking the file, it is unclear who has obtained the lock. Being able to identify this will allow us to request the person holding the lock to release it.

over quota message
Insert the account name in the over quota message instead of just saying "your account". This would eliminate the confusion when a user is trying to upload to a shared folder that they don't own.

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.

Add remote app support functionality like OneDrive is currently offering
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?

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.

Box Drive Windows Drive Letter
We work with Box Drive more than using the Box Web App.
It would be useful to have a plugin that maps Box to a drive letter rather than going to the shared link for the web or for example "C:\Users[USERNAME]\Box[Account Folder][Another Account Folder]" Only having a path going directly to Box[Account Folder][Another Account Folder] by default would be a great thing to have.

Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.（BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする）
When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.

BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。

これをポップアップウインドウにし、閉じるボタンをクリックするまでは非表示にしないようにしたい。1 vote
