Specifying shared folders as destination folders
Currently it’s not possible to select shared folders when choosing a destination folder on Shuttle, and this reduces the number of accounts that can be used in migrations to Box instances using a closed folder structure (i.e., all content centralized in a few accounts).
If it becomes possible to migrate into shared folders, it’d allow the use of more migration accounts that could run more jobs simultaneously and speed up migrations projects.

Large user lists don't load in Box Shuttle and there is no way to filter or narrow scope
Build an option to filter on specific source user groups or OU's before trying to generate or load the user list.
Current behavior: Admin account is authenticated and user list is not able to load/populate because there are too many users on the source side.

Having staggard jobs for high number of file transfer through box shuttle
Currently box shuttle does not give the option to run the job either by size of data transfer or number of files.
If we have the option to stagger the job by number of files or size or even system auto divides the job into sub jobs then data transfer can be even faster and more convenient to handle.

Box Shuttle should allow Box as one of the source systems to migrate from
Currently, Box Shuttle standard tooling only supports migrations from OneDrive for Business, Dropbox for Business, and Google Drive as a part of Google Workspace. Box Shuttle should support Box as one of the source systems, so that Shuttle can be utilized for Box to Box migrations.
For example, consider this use case: a researcher is leaving institution A, and their research lives in institution A's Box instance. Their new institution, institution B, uses Box, and they need to get 10 years worth of research data from institution A to institution B's box instance, without having to download and reupload, or…

Enable Shuttle to Migrate Google-specific filetypes without converting
Currently, Shuttle uses an export feature of Google Drive's API when exporting Google Workspace documents, and this feature converts exported files into their non-Google Workspace corresponding formats (.gdoc> .docx, .gslides > .pptx, etc.). Since Box supports Google Workspace filetypes, Box should look to employ the non-public API endpoint that Google offers that can be utilized to export files in their native format without converting them.

Allow data migration from local mac source.
We would like to use Box Shuttle (now available to Business- and Enterprise-Accouts) to transfer our locally stored data to Box and use Box as our main data management system. But Box Shuttle does currently not allow Mac as a local data source. Shuttle is only usable with Windows.

Migration of files larger than 10MB from Google Drive
As it stands, we are unable to migrate content from Google Drive due with there being a HARD limit of 10MB as the max file size.
Google have a workaround which is outlined here - (1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55274737/is-there-any-way-download-bigger-than-10mb-documents-using-google-drive-api#:~:text=1-,This%20is%20answered,-in%20this%20question and here (2) https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/getThis would mean changing the Shuttle tooling so that Instead of using the Drive API Files:Export method, you can use Files: get (2) with fields = exportLinks.
3 votesThe limit on exporting Google files larger than 10MB is imposed by Google. We have reviewed the various available APIs and workarounds, but none of them produced a viable result. They all have other limitations that make them unsuitable for migration.
We will continue to monitor as Google continues to evolve and adapt its platform, and will look to increase this when or if it becomes viable.

Add a specific provisioning setting for Shuttle
Currently, Box Shuttle relies on pre-existing Co-Admin permissions in order to grant Co-Admins access. However, after a certain amount of TBs have been migrated, any further migration could incur a large cost to a customer. Since this can heavily impact customer spend and have affects on project timelines and prioritizations, Administrators should be able to grant specific access to only Co-Admins that need and are approved to use this tool.

Box Shuttle - Ability to View and Modify Queued Migrations order
It would be nice to be able to see what I've added to the queue, the ability to delete a queued migration or re-order it. It would also be great if you could note which can be ran simultaneously and which should be ran one after the other.

Include "Partial Success" file sizes in New Size category
In a Shuttle Transfer Report, items marked as "Partial Success" do not have their file sizes aggregated under the "New Size" category which indicates the total amount of data transferred during that migration job run. This can lead to a seemingly large discrepancy between the job Total Size and the amount of content which was successfully transferred.
Such "Partial Success" items ARE successfully uploaded to Box, but certain file details (e.g. original last modifier) may not have been successfully set in Box. The lack of this file metadata does not change the fact that the files themselves made it to…

Shuttle - Allow 'overwrite newer files' on destination
in same cases, we need shuttle to have the ability to overwrite files which are 'newer' on the destination. Shuttle currently dosent have a switch to enable this for a migration job and will ignore all of these files.

Make "File System" view from Cloud fast path available in Box shuttle.
Using Cloud fast path for analysis, we found the "file System" view very useful. You could easily navigate up and down the mapped path. Allowing us to present large data sets that could be moved to other folders (archives etc). Seeing folders with sizes and percent of parent. Please add this back to the Box Shuttle Analysis set.
