Improve online Permissions integrations with Box Drive to local Applications (Excel)
If a user is a "View only" collaborator in a folder on Box and they attempt to open a file with a program like Excel through Box Drive, they will receive an error message from Box Drive about not having permissions to save changes. This happens even if no changes are made, and the user is left with 'unsynced' files they must reconcile.
In a similar experience on a "real NTFS" volume, Excel would display "Read-Only" beside the title of the file. No errors would be displayed unless the user attempted to actually save to the directory.
Excel is not being made aware of the permissions in place ON Box and only sees the R/W permissions for the Users' local drive.

I'd like to see the language in Box Notes match that in Box.
I'd like to see the language in Box Notes match that in Box. For example, in Box Notes sharing is Get link and Invite people to edit. It would be nice if the same language was used to make learning easier. Also, It would be nice if the link dialog box was similar where you can click Copy, and also type in a person's name to send an invitation.

Ability to see and access bookmarks in Box Drive
Bookmarks: I store a lot of bookmarks in Box. This bookmarks are not visible in the folder structure on my laptop (links seems not to be stored as files). As a consequence e.g. bookmark titles are only searchable via Box browser interface but not via Windows search functionality within explorer

adding code to end of URL so content displays expanded automatically when a folder link is shared.
Can you add some sort of feature so that we can control how content in folders display when we share folder links? Right now, content automatically displays in a list view and then you can zoom in to show a larger/expanded view of content.
Can you make it so that we can add code to the end of the url link that will make the content display in the expanded view automatically? Or is there another way to change the preferences so that when we share folder links it automatically displays the content expanded?
Thanks!

Allow option to restrict offline data by file type
Allow us the option to prevent some files from downloading when a folder is made available offline based on file type.
For instance, when traveling I may need access to PDFs for a job, but not need access or have space to sync a 2.5GB video file.
Please allow us to restrict what files are synced by file type.

• Identify the links that do not have expiration date
• Review security settings

add a language metadata to file
This value could be filled by users, then it could be leveraged by Box Skills and Box Skills kit to process content appropriately (i.e. to extract data taking into account the main language of the content)

Add "Copy file" and "Copy shared link" to the horizontal bar in Box preview
When I get shared links for which I want to reuse to create my own decks I have to download the file , make changes and upload it back. Would be convenient for the user to just "copy" the file because at that point they had download rights anyways
When I get shared links and I want to share the file further its not clear to me that I could copy the same url and send it ahead. Some users end up downloading the file in order to share further which leads to data fragmentation

When copying a link that has a past due expiration date notify the user when they copy the link
When copying or emailing a link from Box Drive that has an already past due expiration date notify the user when they copy or attempt to email the link so they can update the link. That way the sender doesn't receive feedback about the link not working and appearing incompetent.
