Save the default view for STL files on upload
We would like the ability to save the default view for STL files to save the orientation, render mode, and camera projection within the web preview
We used to be able to save the default view for STL files within a Box3d Metadata of the file. We no longer have that ability.

Add metadata to multiple files (without using a folder cascade)
I was wondering if it would be possible to add the possibility to add metadata to different pictures/files at the same time. We know it's possible to add meta data to a whole folder, but we would like the same to be possible for a selection of pictures within a folder. It is possible to add tags in this way, but not meta data.

"Show File Location" for Files Currently Uploading Through File Explorer/Finder
At this time, Box Drive only lists the File Name when checking the "Transfers" menu of synchronizing items. No indication is given as to where this syncing is taking place. The User is forced to memorize the location of an upload/download until it has completed.
I'm currently experiencing an issue where many large files (Gigabytes) are forever uploading after an unknown error restarts the upload upon completion. The only solution I've been given is to Log Out, thus deleting my Terabytes of Available Offline files. "UnsynchronizedFiles" in AppData proves to be unhelpful with certain errors.

Upgraded my laptop, lost hundreds of files, Box support claiming files never properly synced
Hi Box, I am incredibly frustrated and disappointed with your product. Your customer support team said I need to post the feedback here. I have been using Box Drive for the past four years and was using it to keep track of sensitive and important records and information related to my employer's financial statement audits. This included hundreds of workpapers and workbooks used to gather and compile information to send to our auditors for the company to pass our annual audit. I could view the files in Box Drive and in the online web browser, indicating that they had properly…

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.
33 votesThis is not something that we have on the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Notifications were suppressed for these items and we will be investigating different ways to make problem items in general more discoverable.

Server side un-zipping of files
Some teams share very large (multi-GB) zip files and a separate team members need to see the contents of these zips.
Having the full team wait for Box Edit Open with Compressed (zip file) option or using Box Sync are our only workarounds today and not time or network efficient for users.
2 votesThis is not currently planned. Thank you for the submission.

Support for .IMA files in Box DICOM Viewer
I have a few DICOM files with the Siemens IMA extension. These files are fully compatible, just carry a different extension. In all other software they can be imported just like .dcm files. On Box I can even change the extension from .ima to .dcm and use it in the Box DICOM Viewer. Please enable support for this (and possibly other?) file extension.

Add the ITEM ID to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder) in order to join to Files and Folder report on ID
Add the item id to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder). This would allow the User Activity events to be joined to the Files and Folders report data in order to report on activity against files and folders. An example report would be a list of all activity (Downloads, Previews, etc...) for a specific Box account. Currently the User Activity report only shows the activity that a specific user has done, but not what activities have been done against the content owned by a specific user. This would allow for a wide range of…

Perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files which they can access
Requesting to perform full file and folder inventory for users that includes the folders/files they have access to, not just the ones they own. Include fields like – date modified, created date, and any other file attributes normally included in the file and folder report.
The File and Folder reporting mechanism but it’s lacking features to perform an inventory across hundreds of specific folders (in an environment where a lot of folders have the same name).
The content manager, only reports on files that users own and they don’t own files in our taxonomy. The initial view looks good…

Please separate the colors of the icons displayed in folders and files.
Due to the release of Box Shield's new classification indicators, the colors of the "lock icon" and "shared link icon" displayed on folders and files are all grayed out.
In the past, the "lock icon" was red, and the "shared link icon" was blue, etc., making it easy for users to see and use.We believe this is a far cry from Box's goal of accessibility, which is "ease of use for all users."
In order to provide an easy-to-use environment for all users, please restore the icon colors to the previous specifications or color code them.(Japanese)

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/getThis 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.
3 votesThe 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.

Possibility to share with non-Box users annotated files including the annotations.
Annotating files, especially pdfs, inside Box would be much more useful to me if I could share the annotated file, including the annotations, with non-Box users. A setting on the shared link dialog like "Allow persons with the link to view annotations" would be a great enhancement.
Thanks

Independent back-up of files in box
In allot of professions, regulatory requirements require for us to have an independent back up of the files. With today's increased ransomware where they freeze your files, having an independent back-up is a great idea. I propose for Box to have all the files backed-up to a third location where its stored for access if needed. What happens if someone deletes a file by mistake or get all the files deleted. Having a site as back up will be a great idea. Filed could be backed up once a week. And I can tell you I will pay…

Support multi-file for rejected task trigger in Relay
Suppose you like to assign an approval task to a person with multiple files and when the task is rejected, you like to move the package of those “rejected” files to a different folder("Rejected folder) instead of having them sat in the triggered folder.
For a single file, you can create the following workflow containing 2 flows and it works perfect as expected, however it doesn't work for multi-files...
Flow 1: Trigger Manual start-> Outcome: Assign task -> When rejected, the flow is end
Flow 2: Trigger Task -> Outcome: when the task is rejected, move the file…43 votesWe have delivered this functionality as part of Box Automate.

Automatic email response for file request submitter
Would like a feature whereby the person submitting files using Box File Request receives an automatic confirmation email with a customizable message. For example, after the submitter uploads files using the File Request web widget, that person gets a email to the effect of, "Thank you for contacting us. A team member will review your submittal and follow up within 24 hours." The person would be required to provide an email address but not required to have a Box account. Many of our external customers send us application materials using File Request, and then they contact us separately wanting to…
