Block Google Drive and enable all Google Workplace files to auto roll-in to Box instead.
Block Google Drive and enable all Google Workplace files to auto roll-in to Box instead. This gets us a step closer to the vision of Box as the single place for all content.
Today, even though I have Box, employees can still save into Google Drive, which creates security, governance, privacy, and other risks.

Pause upload/download on Box Drive
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. I cannot describe how much this is important to me. I work on several projects that use many files simultaneously. Some of these files are large. Being unable to pause an upload/sync makes my workflow so incredibly slower.
Current life: I make some edit to a large file, my entire workflow is interrupted as said large file needs to be entirely uploaded before I can retrieve literally anything else from Box. This last part is not even Box's problem, but I have a pretty decent computer and slows down significantly during large uploads, which affects…

BOX Drive - Block local file/folder creation if user does not have write access
We do not allow creation of root folder in BOX. Also certain folders are read only for select staff. When using BOX Drive if they try to add content to an area they only have read access, the content is listed and appears to the employee, that they uploaded it to BOX. There is a tiny red dot but to many this is not sufficient to let them know the data is not being protected. Please configure BOX drive to not allow a local creation of content within the local BOX path if they do not have editor…

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…2 votes -

Reconcile behavior between Edit and Drive after a conflict
There is different behavior between Box Drive and Box Edit when uploading after conflicted happened. We would like to change behavior as same as Box Edit. This difference might lead to be confusion for the customer.
Actual Behavior at this moment:
Box Drive
1. User A opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
2. User B opens and edits file X without lock via Box Drive.
3. User B saves the file X via Box Drive. Upload the changes as version 2 to file X
4. User A saves the file X via Box…4 votes -
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.

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.

Not delete data flagged as "make available offline" when Box Drive is closed/logged out
Currently if data is generated and saved locally on a machine into the Box Drive folder, exiting or logging out of the Box Drive application will delete the local data on the machine, even if the folder it is saved into is marked to "make available offline".
We are a small physics research laboratory currently trying to migrate our data collection and storage from Dropbox to Box. We were disheartened to discover that if data is generated on a local machine, by collecting and saving it directly into the Box Drive folder, say, and Box Drive is logged…

Box Drive does not allow aliases on MacOS. This continues to be an issue on MacOS Tahoe
All in the title. After remapping aliases that were left in the Archived Box Sync folder, moved them into Bob Drive locations and they aliases no longer work. While they worked correctly within the Archived Box Sync folder - they went bust on Box Drive locations.
This is really counter productive. Such aliases make quick workflows.1 vote -
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.

Allow administrators the ability to change the timing threshold of the Box Drive Authentication Token
It would be helpful for admins to be able to change the timeframe for which the Box Drive authentication token lasts. We have users who have a hard time renewing their passwords in a timely manner and this is the biggest avenue they have to keep them working because the token doesn't seem to expire in a more timely manner. Or have a way to remotely sign a user out of all box applications on their devices when needed.

Disallow special characters that are not accepted by Windows Explorer or Mac Finder
in order to minimize issues with prohibited characters in Box Drive/Sync.
14 votesWe don’t have plans to disallow the use of certain characters on Drive, but we can consider improving the UX when a file error occurs due to one of these unsupported characters

Box Shuttle should allow Box as one of the source systems to migrate from
Currently, Box Shuttle standard tooling only supports migrations from OneDrive for Business, Dropbox for Business, and Google Drive as a part of Google Workspace. Box Shuttle should support Box as one of the source systems, so that Shuttle can be utilized for Box to Box migrations.
For example, consider this use case: a researcher is leaving institution A, and their research lives in institution A's Box instance. Their new institution, institution B, uses Box, and they need to get 10 years worth of research data from institution A to institution B's box instance, without having to download…
