  2. Upload all files possible, don't stop the upload queue when an error is encountered

    There was a recent Box change where the upload queue now stops whenever an error, any error, is encountered where, previously, the upload queue would just continue to upload all files possible and the upload queue would remain open so you could scroll through and check which files failed to upload. Now you can't run an upload over night because as soon as one file upload fails, the whole queue stops, which is ridiculous.

  3. Sometimes when working with AutoCAD files, the external references in the CAD files lose their path.

    It would be great if the external references (external files) are kept in the CAD file and not lose their paths. (I do wonder if this is happening because the path is too long).

  4. External references between Excel files saved in Box by URL.

    In Excel saved in SharePoint, the URL can be used to refer to the value of a cell in the other Excel file.
    We would like a similar functionality in Box.
    For example, if the file ID is "1234567890" and we want to refer to cell A1 of "sheet1", do the following.
    ex) ='https://****.ent.box.com/file/1234567890[sheet1]'!A1

  5. Cannot move files within Box when the file version is large

    We hope to resolve the issue where files cannot be moved once the file version reaches a certain number.

  6. Default sort only savable from All files page

    The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default. When refreshing the page it goes back to the last sort that you used on the "All Files" page.
    Similar to other online file sharing platforms, when you change teh default sort to name or last modified it saves that sort for all other folders. On Box.com if you change the default sort to by last modified on the All Files page it then applies that as the default sort for all other sub folders. I found this bug with Box support after entering…

  8. Sheild > [Download and Print Restriction], if "For Box Desktop" is enabled, the Office co-editing function should be available via a browser

    Sheild > [Download and Print Restriction], if "For Box Desktop" is enabled, the Office co-editing function should be available via a browser.

    We have applied Box Shield's [Download and Print Restriction] to "For Box Desktop" and [Microsoft Office Coauthoring Basics] via browser is also disabled.
    Microsoft Office Coauthoring Basics] via a browser is also disabled.
    Similarly, Office co-editing functions that are opened via a browser should not be restricted, since access in BoxEdit is not restricted.
    Errors in opening the file in the browser cause confusion for the user.
    Also, please add the following explanation to the Access Policy Settings…

  9. Ability to filter recent files by file extension

    It would be great to be able to filter files in the Recent Files section by extension, access date, etc. Currently you can't sort anything. My use case was easy. I knew I had access one Excel file one week before but couldn't remember the name nor the real date. instead of scrolling in the whole list, I could have selected "Excel / spreadsheet file" to see only these files for a faster search.

  10. Ability to open password protected files from mobile devices

    Until a few weeks ago, password protected files could be opened through the mobile app from a mobile device. Now the attempt to open a password protected file results in an error of "Decryption failed. (null). Password protected files cannot be opened from mobile device from m.box.com or www.box.com either (error is different). Seems to defeat purpose of cloud based storage since so many users depend on a mobile device to open view files from Box storage.

  11. The ability to have an option to disable the auto folder creation of "Microsoft Teams Chat Files"

    We would like to have an option to configure the folder creation of Box for Teams. For organizations that don't allow users to use Box as personal folder, Microsoft Teams Chat Files should be off and is controllable based on the needs.

  13. 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…

  14. Function to allow selection of all files in a single folder

    ・I would like to resolve a discrepancy between the number of files displayed in the BOX and the actual number of files (data inconsistency).
    ・If the time of resolution is undecided, I would like to be able to select all files in a single folder right away, so that I can check the number of uploads and the actual number of files saved.
     (I would like to be able to check the number of files)

    単一フォルダ内でファイルの全選択を可能とする機能

    ・ BOX の表示ファイル件数と実際のファイル数が異なる現象(データの不整合)が発生しているので解消してほしいです。
    ・解消時期が未定であれば、取り急ぎ、アップロード件数と実際の保存件数を確認したいので単一フォルダ内でファイルの全選択ができるようにしてほしいです。

  15. Ability to add reminder notification function for folders and files

    I want you to apply the remind notification function for folders and files

    Currently Box Relay cannot send reminders for folders and files.
    I want you to apply the function to send notifications with a custom date and interval for each folder and file.
    With this function, it is possible to prevent oversight of work that has a deadline, and it is possible to carry out work efficiently.

    フォルダやファイルに対してのリマインド通知機能を適用して欲しい

    現在BoxRelayではフォルダやファイルに対してリマインド通知を送信することができません。
    フォルダ、ファイルごとにカスタムした日付と間隔で通知を送信する機能を適用して欲しいです。
    この機能により期日のある作業の見落としを防ぐことが出来て、効率的に業務をおこなうことが可能となります。

  16. zip file decompression function

    Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
    We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
    It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.

  17. Avoid files loss upon uninstall

    The current uninstall app, on macOS, doesn't check on the syncing status of files. It erases the unsynced and cache folders directly, not even moving them to the system Trash.
    I've recently followed the process to update the BoxDrive macOS 12 beta and lost one week worth of files that hadn't been synced.

  18. Capability to finalize files

    It would be useful if it's possible to "finalize" files. Means some persons work on a file together until it is finalized and then prevent any further modification on the file. There is the Lock function, but then the person who locked the file, could still unlock it.

  20. Box Drive Should Show Files With Illegal Filenames or Characters

    We need Box Drive to be able to point to the offending error in Windows Explorer or Finder. Click on the offending file, folder is opened and file is selected in Windows Explorer or Finder in order to fix.
