Subfolder Sync: Don't Sync the Files Located in the Parent Folder Path
One of the nuances of Box Sync 4.X's 'subfolder sync' feature is that files that are located in the folders of the parent path for the synced subfolder are also synced, which creates a weird, and unexpected, experience for end users.
Reference: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Sync/How-Do-I-Sync-Subfolders-In-Box-Sync-4-0/ta-p/116
REQUEST: Fix this behavior so that even when only a subfolder is marked for 'syncing', none of the files in the parent folders are also inadvertently synced, and instead only sync the parent folders to keep the path in tact.

Expand Column for Files and Folders Report
Sometimes I have users who ask for a files and folder report on a particular folder. After I receive the report I have to create an additional column for a link to the file/folder. I just use the existing information in the report, replace all F with f in the Item Type Column, and concatenate function in excel to create this. Would just like this to be a native addition for the report.
Excel function: =CONCAT("https://box.com/",[@[Item Type]],"/",[@[Item ID]])

Upon folder upload via web or Drive, if any files fail due to file/path name limit, provide a list of those files
When a file path exceeds 255 characters, the file would in some circumstances (e.g on Windows), fail from upload. When an entire folder is moved, there is no way of knowing if or how many files may have failed to upload. This is due to OS limitation, but a Box notification or a report could at least allow a manual transfer or shortening the names of the impacted files.

Request for Early Improvement of Upload Speed for Large Files in BoxZones Environment (excluding the United States).
While improvements have been made in the past regarding upload speed in the NonZones environment, these improvements have not yet been implemented in the Zones environment.
There is no significant difference for small to medium-sized files, but there is a noticeable difference for large files of 1GB or more, with a roughly threefold gap observed in multiple upload speed measurements.
As employees regularly upload large-sized drawings, photos, videos, and other data in their daily tasks, this disparity leads to missed opportunities and decreased productivity.
Particularly, when transitioning from the NonZones environment to the Zones environment, it results in a deteriorated…

Number of files in folder not correctly shown
All the folders in the Box I'm using show "Size" as "0 Files", when in fact each folder contains several files. It would have been useful for this feature to work correctly. Instead, I'm manually opening each folder to check their contents. In the alternative, an option to click an arrow to go to the contents of the next folder in the file list would be helpful to save a click navigating back to the main page.

Update Box Sync to ignore temporary save files from Terramodel (*.~pr)
Trimble Terramodel is a CAD program similar to AutoCAD or BricsCAD and saves a copy of the main drawing file (PRO files in the case of Terramodel, DWG in the case of AutoCAD) and renames the extension ~PR (AutoCAD equivalent is BAK).
Box needs a simple way of toggling the option to ignore certain file types such as these to prevent syn errors and long scanning sessions during sync.

Sort files/folders/etc by exclusively names
Right now can only sort files and folders by name separately ie. 04 folder, 05 folder, 01 file, 02 file, 08 link, 09 link etc. Would like them all in a row as they are steps to complete/fill out:
01 file
02 folder
03 link
04 file

Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory
It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

We are making continuous major investments to our Edge infrastructure to improve upload and download performance globally and increase our file size limits (150GB today).
To upload large amount of data, Box Shuttle should be considered and if Box supports FTP, it is not the recommended way to upload large volume of files for both performance and reliability reasons.

Show My Recent files in Box for Gmail by default
Box for Gmail: Show recently accessed files and folders by default within Box for Gmail.
Oftentimes I'm attaching a file I was recently working on, so it would be nice to not click through my entire folder structure to locate the file I want to send as a link. Gmail currently does this with Google Drive.
2 votesWhen attaching files from Box to Gmail, users that have recently attached files can now see those files under Recents, and can additionally see Favorites.

Ability to retrieve the number of files for each folder through API
The Box API allows users to get a list of the files contained in a folder, but it does not provide a direct way to get the number of files per folder, so we would like to provide a way to get the number of files.

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.

Folders and Files Report Filtering Settings
Request:
In the folders and files reports, we want to output the results filtered by the content's "Creation Date (range specified)" or "Upload Date (range specified)".example:
Output a list of content that was newly uploaded (or created) within a specific time range (MM/DD to MM/DD) stored in Boxmerit:
By carefully selecting only the minimum amount of information required to be output in a report, you can reduce the time it takes to output the report.
In addition, since there is no need to process the output reports, work efficiency can be improved.要望：
フォルダとファイルのレポートにおいて、コンテンツの「作成日(範囲指定)」や「アップロード日(範囲指定)」でフィルタした結果を出力したい。例：
Box内に保存されている特定の時間範囲(〇月〇日～△月△日)に新規アップロード(もしくは、作成)されたコンテンツの一覧を出力するメリット：

Fix the Preview of Excel file versions
Currently, previewing older versions of Excel files does not work. No matter what version is selected, the current version of the file is displayed. The causes users to think that versioning is not happening OR that they have lost all prior versions. When users download a previous version of the file, it has the correct content for that version.

When copying or moving a file via Relay, allow the file to overwrite an existing file of the same name as a version.
If we have a locked down area for SOP type files, as the SOP is updated and approved, a Relay workflow moves the file into the published location. If the published file is the same name as an existing file, we would like to have the new file come in as a version of the prior file, not be named with the date-time stamp on it.

Permanently purge files with the Shiled label
Business activities sometimes require customers to permanently purge confidential information.
However, many Box tenants have the problem of too many items in the Recycle Bin, making selective permanent purging of files impossible!We would like to apply the Shield label to the lifecycle of such sensitive information.
Please consider adding the behavior of permanent purging from the Recycle Bin after a certain period of time for files with the Shield label.Supporting permanent purging by label would provide complete lifecycle management of sensitive information.

Unable to download files from "Collections."
I would LOVE to be able to download the files from a "Collection." It's kinda weird that as powerful as Box is, this seemingly simple task is not available. I spent two days (off and on) assembling a "Collection" only to find that I need to go back and download each file (MS Word doc) individually. Food for thought. Thanks much.

Accessing Box files in Office apps with passcode enabled（iOS）
The Files App + Box integration does not support the app-specific password at this time, so we cannot reach Box from the Office apps.
A workaround is to disable the passcode, but this is not advisable as it reduces the security level of your device.
Employees who do not have PCs and work outside the office cannot use the system, which is causing disruption to work.パスコードが有効な状態でOfficeアプリでBoxファイルにアクセスしたい（iOS）
ファイル AppとBoxの現時点の統合ではアプリ固有のパスワードをサポートしないため、OfficeアプリからBoxにアクセスできません。
回避策はパスコードを無効にすることですが、端末のセキュリティレベルを下げることになるため望ましくないです。
PCを持たず社外で業務している従業員が利用できないため業務に支障をきたしています。4 votes
