  1. 2-Factor Authentication for Drive

    If a client has MFA/2-Factor Authentication required for all users, it would be great if Drive required similar additional protection to safeguard user content.

  2. 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.

  3. Folders accessed via Box for Salesforce do not appear in Box Drive until re-login

    We’re finding that when a user visits a folder from Box for Salesforce, they then have access to the client folder from Box.com but it does not appear in Box Drive until they log out of Box Drive and back in.

    Please fix this

    Salesforce folders appear in the latest version of Box Drive without requiring log out/in. If you're seeing this issue, please file a ticket with our Box Support team.

  4. Help me find all the folders on my Box Drive that I have set to Offline.

    I set some folders of images, PDFs and other assets I use a lot to 'Offline' in Box Drive, also for projects I'm working on. However, over time this means a lot of syncing to my drive or for security reasons I want to put everything to Online. I'd love a way to search for all folders that are set to Offline so I can set all or some back to Online. As an alternative, one button in Box Drive that puts all Offline folders back to Online so I know I'm 100% in the cloud again.

  7. We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive.

    We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive. We encountered an issue and confusion with Box Drive. One day, Box Drive didn't start up. We assumed that the shortcut icon on the desktop wasn't working properly. Therefore, we went to [C:\Users*UserAccount*] and found a shortcut icon which was exactly the same as the one on the desktop. We thought this icon was the shortcut to Box Drive, so we moved this shortcut icon to the desktop, and all of a sudden, the contents in Box were all moved to…

  10. 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.

  11. box drive

    Preemptively cache your folder directories.
    Some departments have a large volume of folders and files. During first time of loading a folder, the contents appear blank and after 5 seconds content shows up. Sometimes a person needs to go manually refresh the folder list to see the contents. This gives the first impression that Box Drive is slow. Is there a way to preemptively cache the folder directories? We do not mark any contents available offline and would like to keep it that way. Once the folder is listed the first time, all future browsing of the folder is fast.

  12. Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.

    We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.

  13. Ability to re-arrange All Files page on Drive, including external folders, for organizational purposes.

    We would like to be able to move non-owned and external folders around for organizational purposes on their private Drive, without impacting the actual external/owner of the folder. For example: Company X shared Folder A with me at Company Y. I would like to move Folder A to my Company X folder in Drive so it's not clogging my All Files page (without this impacting Company X's folder).

  15. Box Drive search for specific folder

    Currently there is not way to search for a folder name offline. All you can search for is a file name. This can be problematic if you have multiple files with the same name, but just in different locations. Suggest being able to search for file name and then open file.

  16. 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…

  17. Extend 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance to Box Sign APIs to enable Part 11 Box Sign requests via Box Drive

    As of Box Drive v2.43, Box Drive now integrates with Box Sign. However, this integration does not support Part 11 compliant signatures. Since Part 11 compliance is enabled and enforced for all users in our organization, this presents a risk, as users could inadvertently bypass this requirement when using the integrated Box Sign feature via Box Drive.

    From Box Support "...when a user clicks on the "Send to Box Sign" option from Box Drive, Box Drive sends a "Signature Request" to Box Sign API. When the request is successfully processed, Box Sign API replies with “prepare_url” in response. We then…

  18. Box Drive: Display pop up warning when copy / move large number of items

    Just like below warning pop-up displayed in WebApp, Box Drive shall pop up a warning to let the user know when large number of files / folders are going to be copied / moved.  (also to prevent accidental copies / moves)

    Copy Items

    (!) This operation is not immediate and may take some time.

    You are about to copy 9000 items to the folder 'Project Folder 01'. Due to the large number of items, this operation may take up to several hours to complete. During this operation, content within this folder may not be available for access. Do you want…

  20. Box Drive Notification

    It would be nice to have a feature we can use to notify end users of the restriction to upload files at the root level in Box Drive. Right now we are depending on sync errors which can be easily dismissed by non technical users and I believe if a message was clearly displayed of the restriction It would cause less confusion and create a better user experience.
