  1. Ability to logout and delete cache from Box Drive on OS reboot

    Currently, it is necessary to logout/login to clear the cache and errors, but this is troublesome.
    The burden of performing this operation on a regular basis is on the end user.

    It would be easier to use if the logout/deletion of the cache could be done on OS reboot.
    (If it automatically re-logon after restarting OS, that would be even better)

    現状ではキャッシュやエラーをクリアするためにログアウト/ログインする必要がありますが、これは手間がかかります。
    この操作を定期的に行うのはエンドユーザーに負担がかかってしまいます。

    OS の再起動時にログアウト/キャッシュの削除ができればより便利だと思います。
    (OS の再起動後に自動的に再ログオンするようになれば更に良いと思います。)

  2. Box Drive uses all upload bandwidth when sync

    Set an option to limit the upload (optional and the download) bandwidth when sync is in progress or upload large files, because when devices are connected to slow internet lines, it consumes the entire bandwidth and cannot work properly.
    Note that this is a standad feature of other similar tools.

    Hi everyone,

    You can now hide files and folders in Box Drive. For now, hidden content will continue to sync, but this may change in the future.

    Please keep voting for this idea so we can better prioritize it on our roadmap. Thank you for your feedback — it helps us build the most impactful features for our customers.

  4. Please add a new way to change the maximum cache size of Box Drive without having to make a personal registry change.

    In Box Drive, as described in the link below, Modifying the maximum cache limit requires a registry change.
    However, in many companies, end users do not have the skills or authority to modify the registry.

    We would like you to work on a way to achieve this other than by changing the registry when modifying the maximum cache limit.

     Modifying the maximum cache limit:

    Box Driveの最大キャッシュサイズを個人的なレジストリの変更なしに変更できる方法を追加してください。>

    以下のリンクで説明されているように、キャッシュの最大制限を変更するにはレジストリの変更が必要です。
    しかし、多くの企業では、エンドユーザーにはレジストリを変更するスキルや権限がありません。

    キャッシュの最大制限を変更時にレジストリを変更する以外の方法で実現できるように工夫していただきたいです。

  10. Automatically prohibit unsupported characters

    Box Drive and unsupported characters:

    It’s hard to find each folder or file that contains prohibited characters, so I’d like to have prohibited characters registered online automatically deleted or replaced
    so they will appear in Box drive.

  11. Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box

    The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

    I’m uploading a large directory tree with Box Drive, and I’d like to know the status of the files being transferred. I’ve been reading about this in the support area of their web site.

    From the Box website, it appears that the way to do this is by looking at icons next to files which change color.

    There are two issues with this:
    I am blind and use screen reading software that can’t distinguish icons. The Box people need to know about this accessibility problem.
    I’d rather have an overall report. But there’s nothing available in the Box Drive

  14. Metrics for tracking most oft-accessed files on a Box Drive shared among a team, department, etc.

    OneDrive's tallying of the number of times particular files are accessed and by whom helped direct organization efforts for cloud storage and understand staff behavior. The Box Drive does not have a similar quantitative feature, as far as I know. Possible to create such a feature, to track who, when, and how often particular files and folders are used by staff permitted access? Thank you!

  15. I want to specify Box directly as the file download destination from the web

    When downloading a file from a website, it needs to be saved locally first and then uploaded to Box.

    I would like a browser extension that would allow me to directly specify a Box folder as the download destination.

    Of course, I know I could use Box Drive, but as a company I would like to stop using Box Drive in the future.

  16. Box passwords user experience

    Two issues I'd like to highlight that is significantly making the Box user experience for my users (and me) extremely frustrating.

    1) Box Drive sign in experience
    When my users try to sign into Box Drive and input incorrect passwords multiple times and keep trying, they get a captcha response requirement to continue trying. It's simply broken. It requires images to be selected but this process always gets stuck in an endless loop. I can confirm this from dealing with this on multiple systems running Box Drive and 100% of the time it got stuck in a loop. This captcha…

  17. There should still be a selective sync options for Box Drive.

    You should be able to selective sync folders and files that you do not need on a regular basis.

  18. Add options to control cache size on Box Drive for mac/windows

    In particular, there should be a setting to specify the maximum cache size, or an option to have it be up to a certain percentage of free disk space (eg 30% by default, similar to the iPhone app). There should also be a screen that shows how much disk space the cache is currently using and a button to clear the cache with one click.
