  1. Alert on folder names not allowed in Box web

    Box Drive will alert when a folder name isn't valid. Would be nice that there would be a way to not allow folder names in Box web when Box Drive doesn't support it.

  2. Actions to make documents and folders (box drive, 'Make Available Offline' ) appear in reports as Downloads - same as normal downloads

    When identifying anomolous downloads (ie potential data leakage), we utilise both Box Shield alerts and User Activity reports to establish details.

    However, User Activity reports (csv, column E 'Action') do not differentiate between those documents and folders downloaded, and those that are 'Made Available Offline'. When attempting to avoid data leakage, the difference is important. Making content available offline is a legitimate task for users. However, large quantities of normal downloads may indicate fraudulent theft of data.

    We need to be able to differentiate between the two types, as soon as possible

    Because User Activity Reports record items as 'Download'…

  3. 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.

  4. box sync

    The company I work for would love to keep the box sync app running for our computers as it is a real convince to only sync the files the designers are working on at the moment and allows us to control what to work on and not have to search through the whole box drive to find the one file every time to work on.

  5. preset email address in the sign-in dialog in Windows

    When using Box Drive on Windows, i would like you to preset email address in the sign-in dialog.
    The email address can be get from the domain user's mail attribute.

    This is mandatory in environments where SSO is enabled/required.
    In the case of Box webapp, the IdP's authentication screen opens just by pressing the continue button once.

    However, in the case of Box Drive, you need to enter an email address to open the IdP screen.
    Also, IdP may ask you to enter email address again.

    The sequence of entering this email address hinders the user experience.

  6. Relaunch Box Drive After Auto Update

    These updates do not notify users when done. Can this be an enhancement so users know when to start Box again?

  7. Box OCR

    I am using Box on the desktop. Is there any way I can get Box to automatically run the OCR when I upload a pdf to Box? In order to use the Box AI, I have to always open the file and run the OCR on my local Adobe and save/reupload to Box before I can use the Box AI. That is very time consuming. If Box could automatically run the OCR when I upload the document that would be great.

  8. Allow users to manually prompt Box Drive upgrade from the Drive menu.

    If a user's machine is running, they will receive the prompt to upgrade to a new version, even if they are not actively using their machine. This will cause users to miss the upgrade prompt for 24 hours.

    We would ask that messaging is added to the Drive menu letting a user know that a "new version is available." If they click this, they will again receive the prompt to upgrade.

  9. Reporting on Box Desktop Applications

    Would like to have a report on managed users and the last reported version of Box Drive/Box Tools/Box for Office they are using and if they have any active sync errors to proactively help them.

  14. Adds the ability to hide the notifications that appear when you open an auto-locked file on a box drive for all tenant users.

    Tenants that automatically lock files in Box Drive will be notified that when another user opens a file that is already open from Box Drive, the file will be locked and opened in read-only mode.
    Add the ability to hide this notification for the entire tenant.

  15. I would like to be able to see which user account is currently logged in on the PC using Box Drive.

    I would like to be able to check the currently logged-in user account on the PC where I am using Box Drive.
    Please make it possible for users to check this information themselves.

    I want the administrator to be able to check which user account is using which PC.

    This is necessary for proper user account management, so please consider this.

  16. Box Hubs: Allow search functionality within Box Hubs for users without Box accounts

    Current functionality: If a user without a Box account access a Box Hub through a shared link, they do not see the search bar

    Desired functionality: A user without a Box account accessing a Box Hub will still be able to use the search bar

    Use Case: Using Box as a marketing DAM housing photos. A hub could be used to provide access to approved photos so that non-Box users can search for approved photos they need.

  17. Allow admins to block external users from using MFO in Drive

    Create an option to allow enterprise admin to block Box Drive for external users, on per user basis.
    We have this feature in Box Sync (for managed users only) and need this feature to be extended to external users for Box Drive, due to security reason: Compared to downloading from Box Webapp , it is very easy for external users to get a lot of our contents with MFO. It is out of our control and we cannot guarantee as well if external user’s machines are secure enough (HDD encryption, antivirus software etc.).”

  18. BoxDrive app for Windows better error messages visible to users

    We are trying to troubleshoot BoxDrive connectivity issues and the only error it generates now is "Verify that you are connected to the internet and restart Box Drive". This error is not specific enough to start the troubleshooting process. BoxDrive for Windows needs to have a better error messages shown to the users if it's an issue with network connectivity, user authentication or any other issue.

    You seriously need to work on your time machine issues. Almost all my data are gone, as in GONE, also from the trash bin that you just empty every 30 days.

  20. Fix Box Drive icon overlay conflict on Microsoft documents

    On behalf of Blackstone:

    Content that is on user's machine/desktop is showing red lock icons overlaying the icon of the file type, on content that has, but also has NEVER been in Box

    Please follow modern Microsoft guidance and not use legacy integrations to Windows. The existing implementation is conflicting with our usage of OneDrive.
