Moving and Copying Files
When you are moving or copying a file, I wonder if its possible to have some of your "recent" destination folders with hot links. As it stands, if you have complexity in your file system, it defaults to the source folder. This would save a fair bit of time. Just like the 5 most recent folders you copied files to.

Automatically transfer files based on the file's last modified date
Desired: A tool that, based on last modified date, (automatically) transfers files to Box before or after a certain date.
Currently: Users have to manually sort files by last modified date and select files to transfer to Box. For automatic batch transfers from personal machines or file servers, users would have to use a time-based job scheduler tool in conjunction with an FTP client.

Ordering Files and Folders in numerical order, rather than Folders first and then Files
Have the option to have an entire Folder listed by Name (ie, in numerical order) no matter the Folder/File. For example, not listing Folders first and then Files.

Show Shield-flagged files in the folder list, and tell users when a folder download skips them
When Shield flags a file as malicious, there is no way to see that in All Files or the folder list. Users have to open each file to find the red banner. If someone downloads the whole folder, the flagged file is left out of the download and there is no notice of what was skipped.
Please add a clear indicator on flagged files in the folder view, and tell the user when a folder download omits a flagged file. End users should not have to click every item, and they should not lose content silently.

Ignore unreadable files in Box Sync.
The users environment causes Excel to create unreadable temporary files. Box Sync will not sync temporary files. However, not being able to read the file causes Box Sync to throw and error and quit. The user would prefer Box Sync to ignore unreadable files.

Allow Hubs to search, find, and filter for zip files
When searching for files on Box, zip files appear - however on Hubs zip files are NOT found when using the search function. Also the ability to filter based on a file type for .zip would be helpful.

Select and Download Individual Files from Zip File Preview
The ability to Preview Folders within a zip file exists, however, you cannot click on individual files. It would be nice to be able to select the individual files from the zip file preview and then download the selected files.

allow opening of Recent Files in Microsoft app, not just the browser
In "Recent Files" clicking on the three horizontal dots/ellipsis/meatball menu allows you to open Microsoft files in the browser, but not in the app. It'd be nice if you could just open in the app from the Recent Files section. Thanks.

Decrease the line space between each files on the New UI
Hi team ,
I received a feedback from a client that the new UI made the line spacing bigger and would like to make the line space to decrease to before so that they can see more files in one screen.
Can you please consider this or be able to have option to change the line space?
Thank you in advance for the consideration
9 votesThanks for the feedback. We have made this change in order to make it easier for users to read and scan their file lists. While other users have made similar comments when they first saw the change, many of them have also told us they adapted to the change and prefer the new design.

Allow preview/editing of Office files other than PW-protected Excel (.xlsx) files.
We feel that the inability to preview/edit PW protected files makes it less convenient.
In order to ensure security, we often assign passwords to not only Excel files, but also to PowerPoint and Word files, and there are many opportunities to collaborate on editing PowerPoint and Word files. This is because not supporting online access reduces work efficiency.PW保護しているファイルがプレビュー/編集できないことで利便性が低いと感じております。
当社ではセキュリティを確保する目的で、Excel に限らず PowerPoint や Word についてもファイル自体にパスワードを付与していることが多いという点と、Power Point、Word ファイルを共同編集する機会も多く、Online で対応していないことにより作業効率が下がってしまうためです。2 votes -
Treat .todo files as plain text
There is a plugin for Sublime Text that lets you create .todo files for task lists. These are just plain text files so it would be great if they could be previewed and treated as plain text. I'm mainly interested in being able to use the versioning to see the history of these files.

Add Support on Adobe Links Files
Creative teams leverage this the most when they are cross-linking between Adobe files into a master file to consolidate auto-updating and auto-pulling of all the assets coming from all the different files.

Recent Files Menu Options
I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?
Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.
