  1. Box Drive Tour and Updates

    We have added Box Drive to our VDI image. At each login, a user logs into Box Drive as if it was the first time when logging into a VDI computer. We'd like the option to be able to skip the Box Tour as it doesnt need to repeat every time.

    Additionally, we'd like to disable Box Drive updates as we'd want to do them on a controlled basis on the image.

  2. Add Ability to 'Open with Office Online' via Box Drive

    Users are not currently able to edit/open files to Office Online (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online) from Box Sync / Box Drive

    The key use case of this is to allow users to enter into co-authoring mode when starting in Box for Desktop.

    REQUEST: Add an 'open in Office Online' option in the right-click menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files when in the Box for Desktop file system.

    not planned  ·  Anonymous responded

    This is currently not planned, but we will consider with additional customer demand.

  3. Open the linked file in the notification email in Box Drive.

    When we receive a notification about a folder or file, click on the link in the email and we will be redirected to your browser.
    For users who mainly use Box Drive, being able to transition only to the Web is an added hassle.
    We would like to be able to open files linked to in the notification email in Box Drive as well.

    通知メール内のリンク先のファイルをBox Driveで開く

    フォルダやファイルに関する通知を受け取った場合、メール内にあるリンクをクリックするとブラウザに遷移されます。
    Box Driveを主に使っているユーザーにとってはWebにしか遷移できないないのは手間が増えます。
    通知メール内のリンク先のファイルをBox Driveでも開けるようにしてください。

  4. 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/get

    This 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.

    The 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.

  5. Configuring the Default Box Drive Folder Location

    In the latest version of Box Drive and OS it is no longer possibly to change the file path to a shared folder. This is causing many linking issues for my team as we work within shared files. Would love for this to be reconsidered again and put it the next box update.

  6. Box Drive to support Windows AutoPilot installation

    Currently, when Microsoft Windows AutoPilot is used to install Box Drive, it fails as Box Drive restarts Explorer.exe during the installation.

  9. Box Drive support for Tags (Windows)

    We would like to be able to use tags in Box Drive in order to better sort/filter/search for specific information that is used company-wide (either the tags field in MS Office files or a Box-specific tag). I see several requests for this feature from Mac users, but not much reference for Windows users.

    Thanks...

  10. Box Drive compatibility with MacOS Big Sur

    It appears Box Drive uses a legacy extension no longer supported with the latest MacOS release, Big Sur.

    In addition, the new M1 based machines have been widely applauded for their performance and battery life. I assume this will translate to increased sales.

    So when you do make Box apps Big Sur compatible, I would recommend building a universal app supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon.

  11. Open Box Drive in full screen mode

    1 - Box Drive Icon on the Task Bar should Open the Box Drive Search Tool, not the Bod Drive Folder in Windows Explorer.

    2 - The Box Drive application should open up on full-screen view, with the BOX Folders on the left (as in Windows Explorer) - With the Box Search Tool on the right. This will go a VERY LONG way to help new users to "get comfortable with" / transition to BOX!

  12. Enhanced Hide Function for Drive Folders/Files

    Starting with Box Drive v2.48, it has become possible to hide folders and files. This is a very welcome feature.

    However, when the “Show hidden files” setting is enabled in File Explorer, even if you use the folder hide function in Box Drive, the target folder is only grayed out on the screen and not completely hidden.

    Users would be pleased if a more complete hide function were implemented.

    エクスプローラーで「隠しファイル」の表示設定を行っているとき、Box Driveでフォルダ非表示機能を利用しても、画面上で対象のフォルダがグレーアウトするだけで完全には隠れないため、より完全な非表示機能が実装してほしい。

  13. Granular Permissions for allowing Box Drive and MFO

    Granular Permissions for allowing users to access Box Drive and allow them to mark content for offline use.

    Similar to the way sync functioned, it would be good to have per-user permissions for Box Drive and MFO.

  15. Reduce Box Drive log file size on admin device

    Box Drive logs take up over 35GB in four days. If possible, it would be great to either purge old logs or compress them so they don't take up as much space on the local HD.

  16. Set Box Drive as a Default Save Location in Windows

    With box Sync we could set Box locations as default save locations. Apparently that isn't currently available with Box Drive... this would be a great feature if possible!!

  17. 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.

  20. Box Drive Navigation

    Box Drive navigation - In Windows File Explorer, after a user opens a folder, they can go back to the previous folder using "backspace" on the keyboard or "Left Arrow ←".

    If a user performs the same operation on Box Drive, the user will be taken to the screen of the folder scrolled below the selected folder, but not 100% of the time.

    This happens when the user opens the folder several times and returns by backspace repeatedly in the Box Drive.
