  1. 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…

  4. Drive and Sync

    It should be impossible to have both Box Drive & Box Sync installed and working on the same machine. An install of one should automatically be impossible until the other is removed from the machine.

  5. google shared drive

    Allow Google Drive "Shared drives" content to be copied directly to the integrated Box extension in Gsuite. Currently, this is only available from "My Drive". The work around is to copy "Shared drives" content to "My Drive" (which in itself is awkward, because only files, and not folders, can be copied directly in the cloud), and then copy content from "My Drive" to Box.

  6. Top folders in Box Drive should respect top folder restrictions

    We currently have it set to “Only Admin can create and delete first-level folders, file and bookmarks”.

    But it is still possible to create folders in Box Drive and store files within them, but they aren’t actually uploaded to Box (as users do not have permission to create these top level folders), and they are saved locally

  7. Set a static GUID value for Box Drive's volume

    Some AV/security products cannot exclude Box Drive's mount using the usual "Box" folder path and need a way to exclude the volume that is created by Box Drive

  8. Certain Windows applications, don’t work with Box Drive

    I would like to be able to use Windows apps (such as the built-in Photo app or Snipping Tool app) when opening image files in Box Drive.
    In a company with strict security like ours, all apps that can be used are controlled by administrators, and free apps cannot be used without permission.
    In addition, adding apps requires an almost hopeless application process, and free apps cannot be added due to security policies.
    If BoxDrive could use Windows apps, that would solve this problem, so could you please make it possible somehow?

  9. Keep third party's login token or credentials when logging out from Box Drive

    Users need to log in to a web gateway before logging in to Box Drive.

    If they log out, they need to login to the gateway again.

    In WebApp, they don’t need to re-login the gateway after logging out from Box.

    Therefore, Box should have any way to prevent this.

  10. Box drive should only show and sync the selected folder and left the unselected online only

    Box drive now allows you to hide folder. Be frankly this is useless. Because for most the IT users, we normally enabe showing hidden folder/files option in Windows explorer. So for more prefessional usage, the Box Drive should only show and sync the selected folders. The folders not selected should be left alone online.
    One example, I have a box drive hosting many folders. Each folder hosting one project. The projects could be from different client. When I work with client A, I only want client A project folder to be sync and shown on my desktop. But now the…

  12. Box Drive activity should show up in the recents section of the webapp

    Would be great if the recents section showed in the web app showed all content recently used and not just content in accessed in the web app. When I am using Box Drive the webapp recents section does not pick up that content.

  13. Share folder as read-only/add folder to Box Drive from shared link

    Case:
    I receive the agenda and related documents for meetings within the department I work at as Shared Links to a folder in Box. I want to access these documents during the meeting directly through Box Drive on my computer. The desired access includes any documents added after I first opened the link. All related accounts are part of the same organisation/"Company" (in this case a university).

    Current situation:
    When I am signed into my Box account and open the link I can view the documents and have two options: "Save link" and "Download". The only way to get…

  14. Support for MacOS Smart Folders with Box Drive

    We need a better mechanism to identify files that have been updated within a given time period at a user level.

    Currently, we rely upon email notifications, but Box email notifications are currently getting filtered on our network. The Smart Folders ability would address this problem.

  18. Please make it possible to choose both .msi and .exe installers for Box Drive.

    The reason is that administrator privileges are required during uninstallation, and end users cannot reinstall Box Drive when issues occur.
