  1. Box Drive - Prompt Users to Lock Files When Opening Files from Box Drive

    For Box Drive, it would be nice to have the option to lock files when you take them offline. For example, when a you choose "Make Available Offline", Box could prompt you with "Do you want to lock these offline files?" So, you remember to lock the files while you still have online access to the them.

  2. Redesigning Box Drive to Be More Resilient Against Ransomware Attacks

    Due to the nature of Box Drive, once a ransomware attack occurs, it is easy for the damage to spread laterally, and the reality is that some companies with specific security requirements are unable to adopt it.
    Of course, certain countermeasures can be implemented through the adoption of Shield Pro, the purchase of third-party products, or restoration operations. However, all of these require additional costs, and companies are often unwilling to approve them.
    Please reconsider the architecture so that the native Box Drive becomes more resilient against ransomware attacks.

  3. Ability to see and access bookmarks in Box Drive

    Bookmarks: I store a lot of bookmarks in Box. This bookmarks are not visible in the folder structure on my laptop (links seems not to be stored as files). As a consequence e.g. bookmark titles are only searchable via Box browser interface but not via Windows search functionality within explorer

    not planned  ·  Anonymous responded

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  4. Ability to view the contents of the login page on the login screen on Box Drive

    Currently, the login page settings that exist in the tenant settings are only visible in the web browser, not in Box Drive.
    Since many of our tenants use Box Drive, we would like to display the contents of the login page on the login screen on Box Drive as well.

    (In Japanese)
    現在、テナント設定に存在するログインページ設定は、Webブラウザ上でのみ表示され、Box Driveには表示されません。
    我々のテナントではBox Driveを利用しているユーザが多いため、Box Drive上のログイン画面にもログインページの内容を表示したい。

  5. SSO multi-zone assignment through Box Drive log in

    We have an enterprise initiative to start leveraging Box drive through our file share migration to Box. The usage is expected to be high within our enterprise since we are working towards enabling Box as an enterprise level application. Since we are a global company, we have requirements regarding data residency and data location within Box. While Zones provide that functionality, through our testing we found the Zone assignment doesn't change when the login is initiated from Box Drive, it only changes when you log through Web UI.
    Although the workaround is pretty obvious and have people log in through…

  6. It would be good have two people collaborate when both use box drive

    Right now, the only way to collaborate is using box drive and MS 365 online-- which has a clunky interface. Would be good to have people working in Box Drive be able to jointly edit documents. Sharepoint Sync allows that to happen, but Box Drive does not.

    Support for Spotlight on macOS is out with the release of version 2.53 (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/53361463306515-Box-Drive-v2-53-Release-Notes).


    The request will be left in the "gathering feedback" stage, as Finder/File Explorer search functionality does remain limited.

  8. Drag and drop files on Box Drive

    I can't drag and drop to move a file as easily as on google drive
    The all files folder should automatically expand when I plan to drop a file to move it to.

  9. Add "Sign in with Google" Option to Box Drive

    For users who "Sign in with Google" to the Box Web App, it would also be helpful to have the option for Box Drive.

  10. Directly link between box drive and box for outlook & box notes

    Currently, Box for outlook can only access to box online which requires authentication each time which is not a smart process. Could we have box for outlook link directly to box drive to save and upload files instead? This will be more efficient for box drive users.

    Also have the same issue with box notes. This cannot be accessed directly to/from box drive.

  11. Allow Users to 'Remove' all files from their BOX Drive as a right-click command

    It would be nice, instead of logging out of BOX Drive on my personal computer to 'remove' all files on my personal device (so anything that was cached or downloaded). Instead of having to 'log out' of the BOX drive app.

  13. Utilizing Photoshop and Illustrator Files Without Box Drive

    Currently, files that use external references (links) in Photoshop and Illustrator cannot access those references when opened directly from Box. Our company handles a large number of such files, but due to security concerns, we have not enabled Box Drive, which has hindered our effective use of Box. If external references could be utilized without Box Drive—similar to how Excel handles them—it would significantly enhance our ability to leverage Box.

  14. Search function in file explorer window does not function in BOX DRIVE--FIX THIS PLEASE

    Search function in file explorer window does not function in BOX DRIVE--FIX THIS PLEASE?
    It's soooo bad that my boss will not use drive, reverted to and will only use sync do to the lack of search capability in windows explorer. He threatens frequently to move us to a different platform because of it. It is absolutely unacceptable to not have the file explorer search function with BOX DRIVE work identically to the way it workson BOX Sync

    Would love to be able to have more of the rich sharing functionality from the webapp available in the Box Drive UI, specifically for configuring sharing options (password, expiration etc).

  16. Prevent items with restricted movement from being moved on the Box Drive display

    If "Do not allow ownership of content to be transfered to external users" is enabled in the tenant settings, content cannot be moved to external tenants by users other than the administrator.

    However, when content is moved in Box Drive, although it is not actually moved, it appears on the display as if it is stored in the destination folder, and it does not return to the original folder until the user logs out/logs back in to Box Drive.

    Content whose movement is restricted by Classification Policies will immediately return to the folder in which it was originally stored, both…

  17. A snapshot of contents within a Box drive folder

    Have you ever looked at a top-level Box folder and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to dig through and drill down to every sub-folder just to know what the contents are?

    Do you get discouraged at the thought of looking for a single file that could possibly exist way down the rabbit hole of Box folders and sub-folders?

    Would you rather have the ability to glance at a snapshot of an entire Box folder and all the sub-folders and files that exist within it?

    A simple yet effective solution is a "tree directory" view. This is a feature…

  18. Box Drive app more easily accessible

    It would be convenient to have an install Box link located in the Help menu or my Account icon similar to Dropbox. Even still, when I navigate to the Box App Center I have to go to Box Drive, scroll down to the respective OS and install. It sounds tedious but I needed to install Box and Dropbox on a bunch of computers and was reminded how the Box user experience still doesn't hold up to Dropbox. Neither is perfect and both have great features but I always feel like Box makes me take steps I don't need or doesn't…

  19. Be able to have the folders which are shared with other collaborators "invisible" in Drive.

    In Box Drive UI, a user cannot distinguish whether the folder is collaborated with "Other company's user" or not. This may cause accidental info leak.

    In order to avoid those information leaking, we want to have those folders "invisible" on Box Drive in advance.

  20. Box drive to support SAML-based authentication

    We use Okta as a primary authentication method for Cloud-based applications like Box.
    Would like to see Box Drive to support for either redirect to main iDP configured at box account or naively support SAML-based authentication.
