Editting text files online without using Box Edit
I want to edit text files(.txt files) online without using Box Edit.
Because when I edit a text file with Box Edit, I have to download it each time, which takes time.
I think it would be very convenient if I could easily edit text files on Box, just like Box Notes.2 votes -
We want a function to divide files created with Box Notes by category (tag).
[Background]
Box Notes is harder to use than OneNote.
The reason is that it is difficult to find files from INBOX because files cannot be divided by categories (tags, folders, etc.).6 votes -
Make contents of Apple iWork files fully searchable
Currently Apple iWork files (.key, .numbers, .pages) are not searchable on Box, even though uploading, previewing and editing them on Box is possible. As our company mainly works with these Mac files, this is a big limitation for us. It would be great if all iWork formats can be search using the full text searched functions in Box.
As a Box user, I want to be able to do a full text search on Apple iWork files, so that I can find them based on their contents when I do not remember their file names.

Notification when someone is editing a file
Since we don't have an option to check-in/check-out of files, can you add a feature like Dropbox's badge which alerts a user when someone else is editing a file so we prevent any simultaneous version history/editing issues?
58 votesWe have launched the capability to coauthor Office, iWork and Google Workspace files from Box Drive. Coauthoring documents will provide indication on the users who are actively editing the document.
We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap for other file types.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Use Metadata Fields to Rename Files
In Relay, under the Rename outcome, I would like to be able to use fields from a metadata template as pieces to rename the file (and have (2) etc. added to the end of a file name in the case that duplicate names are generated like Windows does).
If a metadata template is part of a file request for a given folder, then I would like the option to use its fields to rename files through a workflow that is trigged when a file is uploaded. For example, when file is uploaded, rename uploaded file to "Submission by 'metadata-first-name' 'metadata-email-address'".

Folders and Files reports - exclude filename
Provide the ability to exclude filename from "Folders and Files" reports. We would like to be able to exclude this field since it may contain sensitive data. This is currently a field that is not able to be excluded. If there is a required field we would prefer if to be File ID. This is important since we would like to be able to perform usage analysis but do not want to provide sensitive data (even metadata) to our data analysts.

Show path of synced files with errors
Box currently only shows the folder and file name of an element that had an error with syncing but no path. If you have a lot of files and folders it's impossible to find these elements and fix the sync error, especially if a file has a repeatedly used or undescriptive name.
It doesn't work to search the box folder on Mac and I can't search files that haven't been synced yet in the web interface, so at least the pathname should be displayed, so I can find the affected file locally.3 votes -
Folder of aliases to Box files for sharing
In order to supply a group of files to a collaborator such as an outside contractor, one must copy existing files into a new folder. We need a way to gather the ALIAS /SHORTCUT to multiple files that can be placed in a single shared folder.

Search result print out
When using the content search on BOX, there is no possibility to print out or uppload (for example in .xls) search result listings. The only method to list search results is to take screenshots which is a painstaking taks when you need to get a large listing.
I think that this would be an appreciated feature to the search function on BOX.

I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files
Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages■procedure
①Lock the target file
②Download the file and update it locally
③Upload updated files
④Unlock■demerit
Many steps and cumbersome
If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

Add verification question when moving files in Box Drive using File Explorer
In the web box.com environment moving folders or files is verified with a question. This is not the case using Box Drive and moiving files or folders using File Explorer.
A similar question as in box.com and if you delete files in Files Explorer should have been added for moving files in Box Drive. By accident root folder containing hundreds of GB may be moved and hidden into subfolders causing severe problems.

Box Drive - All files organization
Box Drive does not currently allow for organization of your All Files folder.
To reorganize or move folders on this screen, it actively moves the folders, which isn't always possible. Due to different staff members requiring access to only portions of each folder, we cannot bunch together certain folders that would otherwise belong together.
For the all files screen, Box should implement a way to label and organize folders for your own personal box, that does not affect where the files are located and how they are shared. There is a way to do this with the collections list on…

Show classification of files in Box Drive
We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.
45 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
