  2. Pre-populate Box signin userid (email) field

    Actually for all Box applications requiring sign-in from a computer.

    Allow the sign-in procedure to remember previously supplied email addresses (in a configuration file or in the Windows registry) or allow customization for users to provide a list of addresses. Then provide selection from a drop-down list at sign-in time.

    This is typical of browser access to the Box web page. It would greatly ease access to Box for Box Drive users that do not stay connected. Absence of this feature has us looking for alternatives to Box Drive for our desktop file sharing needs.

  3. Integrate Box for Office with Box Edit

    Integrate use of Box Edit (Open files from Box.com, edit, and save back) with Box for Office (Create new files in Word, Excel, etc. and save to Box.com folders).

    For example - I frequently generate a series of documents that originate in Box.com, but I want to use the Box SAVE AS command to save them back to the same Box.com folder (or one adjacent to it in the file structure) with a new name. Current functionality when I activate the Box SAVE AS option from an Office application is to treat it like a newly…

  5. Add 'x' or cancel/clear button to clear out old search terms in Box Drive

    Box Drive keeps the previous search terms in the search bar. If the user wants to do a new search, they need to manually clear out the old text.

    Our user would like to have an "x" button at the end of the search bar they could click to clear the field, versus selecting the text to delete it manually

  7. 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.

  8. Box Tools: Change Cache location

    Ability to customise the location of Box Tools folder

    We would like to have the feature to customise the location of Box Tools folders such as logs and cache folder. We want to have those under drive of other volume letter instead of the default location under C drive. This is because the storage size of C drive can be limited.

  9. Box Drive:Stopping automatic version updates

    I request that an automatic version update stop function be added.
    When installing Box Drive on the template distribution PC, I would like to stop automatic version updates for a certain period of time in accordance with the distribution timing of the template distribution PC.

    We also request that similar functionality be added to Box Tools in the following titles.

  11. Open as read-only when a user without edit permission opens the file in Box Drive

    Open as read-only when a user without edit permission opens the file in Box Drive

    Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download and edit files.
    You can prevent this by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it.

    For example, if a collaborator with preview permission uses Box Drive, the file can be edited and saved on the user's PC.

    As in the case above, to prevent files from being downloaded, edited, and saved on the user's PC, customers want to have function "read only" when users without edit permission open files from …

  12. Support multiple accounts in Windows file explorer.

    As a technology consultant I have multiple business Box accounts. I need to be able to easily access all my Box folders from the Windows desktop not just one at a time. OneDrive and DropBox both offer multiple account support in Windows Explorer. Lack of this support is the main reason I am not recommending Box for many of my corporate customers due to this inconvenience

  13. Consistent Search behavior between drive and webapp

    Both the webapp search and Box Drive search call the same search API, but the ordering returned by the API is different, possibly because the API takes the requesting client (webapp or desktop) into account. This is a request for consistent behavior between desktop and webapp

  14. Folders inside of Box folder should respect global folder view settings (e.g. icon size, etc.)

    This is a known limitation of Box Drive (as documented here: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues-and/Windows-Specific-Known-Issues-nbsp-for-Box-Drive/ta-p/37355, issue #3).

    We have all of our users experiencing issues with finding content & adopting Box as a result of this issue.

    Please prioritize this as it affects 100% of our employees. Thank you!

  16. Box Drive to notify users before logging out that files or folders not sycn up will be lost.

    It will be helpful if users will be notified before logging out of Box Drive that all files or folders not sync up to Box will be lost . In this way, users will be able to check again on the problem items and save it on other location before proceeding on logging out. This will prevent loss of files.

  20. Box Online Only

    Admins should be able to decide which groups of users are allowed to use Box Drive versus Box online only. Box Online only would increase security in that users would not be able to download files and would be forced to edit/view files in browser only. This helps tremendously in securing data that contractors need to access.
