1. Allow Adobe Bridge to Show BOX Drive Folders/Files (Worked in Previous BOX Version)

   With the update to BOX Drive Version 2.24.208, Adobe Bridge no longer shows BOX folders and Files when opening files in the application. In pervious BOX Drive version, Adobe Bridge showed folders/files, just like any other files – either local or in other cloud applications. HUGE inconvenience to workflow. Please reinstate this functionality.

2. Request to have webapp type filters when searching Box Drive on the desktop.

   We would like to transition to Box Drive and having search filters in the Box Drive search bar would be helpful in finding files and as a stopgap for OS search.

3. Request for Improvement of BOX Drive Proxy Server Authentication Response Function

   BOX Drive is not working properly in our environment.
   We recognize that BOX Drive is designed to read Pac files, but the communication is succeeding up to the proxy server according to the Pac file.
   However, it seems that it is not able to respond to the authentication response of the proxy server.

   As a result, when we open files in our Office products (Excel and Word) that cannot be opened in a web browser, we have to download the file once from
   BOX.
   This method is not productive for us.

   As a solution, we would like to be able to use BOX Drive to open files directly from Office products (Office desktop applications).
   Please consider improving the support for proxy authentication responses.

   Please note that SSL decoding is not performed for communications to BOX.

   Thank you very much for your time.

   (Japanese)
   BOX Driveのプロキシサーバー認証応答機能改善のお願い

   弊社環境において、BOX Driveが正常に動作しておりません。
   BOX DriveはPacファイルを読み込む仕様と認識していますが、Pacファイルに従ってプロキシサーバーまでは通信が成功しています。
   しかし、プロキシサーバーの認証応答に対応できていないようです。

   これにより、弊社ではWebブラウザ上で開けないファイルをOffice製品（ExcelやWord）で開く際、
   BOXからファイルを一旦ダウンロードする必要があります。
   この方法では生産性が低下してしまいます。

   解決策として、BOX Driveを活用し、Office製品（Officeのデスクトップアプリ）から直接ファイルを開けることが望ましく、
   プロキシ認証応答への対応機能の改善をぜひご検討いただきたく存じます。

   なお、BOX宛の通信に関してはSSLのデコードは行っておりません。

   お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。

4. Convert Box Drive File to Box Link when Emailing Copy of File

   We use Box to store company documents, and most people prefer to work with the Box files natively on Windows via Box Drive. The issue is when someone wants to circulate a copy of a file stored on box. The standard practice is to drag a copy of the document from Windows Explorer to an Outlook email. This results in a copy of the document, so future collaborators are not editing the Box document, but rather a copy.

   This is a common feature in most established DMS products, where the user is asked if they want to upload the actual file or instead, a link to the file so that when the recipient opens the attachment, they are directed to the file on the server, not the copy of the document in the email.

6. Select folders from hard drive to sync with box

   It would be very convenient to have an application that would allow a person to go in from their Windows Explorer to flag folders that already exist on the hard drive that would be synced and updated on Box. I would strongly prefer this to having to sync things the other way around, as I consider my hard drive to be my "home base". For instance, I would like to just right-click on my work folder located on my hard drive, and then select an option that would flag it to be synced with my box account so that any new files or changes would be saved to both my hard drive (in that original location), as well as to my Box account.

7. Box drive sync problem items path

   Please add paths to problem items. In the Problem items box, which shows which folders could not be updated, folders are listed without the paths. So, when multiple folders are named the same thing in different trees, it is impossible to locate which folders are having the problem. I am using the most recent version of Box Drive on Mac.

9. 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?

10. View Owner/Creator of Files in Box Drive

    We would like the ability to display accurate information about the Owner/creator of files within Box Drive for Windows. The Owner column in Windows was used prior to our migration to Box to show who originally created the file for a folder all in a single glance. Although Box.com shows the upload history of individual files, it's a manual process of viewing each file-- a pain point-- compared to the table view of File Explorer with the Owner column displaying. Currently, within Box Drive/File Explorer, the Owner column is empty. This would be useful for the users to know who to contact regarding the files.

    (Side note: Our migration to Box from file shares has modified the Owner of files to be 'Box Admin', altering the accuracy of what the users want to see -- the original creator of the file. The last Uploader in Box.com is the closest thing to what the users want to see but it is not exactly the same. )

11. Enforce Box Drive naming limitations in WebApp

    It would be great to be able to enforce Box Drive file naming conventions in the webapp. This would prevent users from naming files with unsupported characters or . at the end of the file name. This would limit the number of Box Drive errors.

    This seems like it would be better solved with a search improvement to Box Drive. If not, let us know in the comments.

15. Specify box drive location and cache location

    Enable the option for users to specify Box Drive location.
    Changing it in the registry is way too advanced for most users and easily fixable with a build-in feature.
    Enable the ability to specify Cache location is also a must-have.
    Files flooding my C: drive is annoying to say the least, espacially when working with big files.

16. Enhancing MIP Integration: Applying DLP Policy Controls to Box Drive Access

    We use Microsoft's MIP integration (DLP policy application).
    Currently, DLP policy controls are not applied when opening from Box Drive.
    This makes MIP integration pointless and poses security problems.
    It is desirable for DLP policy controls to be applied even when opening from Box Drive.

    Microsoft社のMIP連携（DLPポリシー適用）を利用しています。
    現在の仕様では、Box Drive から開く場合には、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されません。
    これでは、MIP連携を利用している意味がなく、セキュリティの観点で問題があります。
    Box Drive から開く場合にも、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されるのが望ましいです。

20. Expose Favorites in Box Drive

    Favorites are becoming more and more popular now that they're better exposed (in the left rail) in the new Web App.

    As such, users expect to access their Favorites list regardless of which endpoint they're using - webapp (supported), mobile (supported), or desktop (not supported via Sync or Box for Desktop).

    REQUEST: Add a 'Favorites' view to Box for Desktop content (somehow) that allows the user to view only their Favorites (files + folders) just like they do in the webapp.
