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.

Do not allow users to complete a system logout or shutdown until all items are uploaded to Box.
We trying to leverage Box Drive to replace home drives for students. They are using Box Drive in their computer labs, but have recently reported that Box Drive will allow a user to log out (or shut down their computer) before all content has been uploaded to Box. I know we have a dialogue box associated with "in progress uploads" when logging out of the Box Drive application specifically. We are requesting an expansion of that logic to prevent users from completing a system logout or shutdown before Drive has a chance to sync all their files.

Silently sign in users to Box Drive using their Windows Credentials.
“Enable silent account configuration. For info, see Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync client with their Windows credentials. If a device is not already joined to Azure AD, enabling this setting will join it.”

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.

Shield Classifications Following Content in Drive
In Box Drive, the classifications do not follow the content. For ITAR customers, I can copy a file from ITAR folders (with a shield policy) to another folder for non-ITAR content and share it without restrictions.
This works in the web app, but not in Drive.

A true silent update is not currently planned. We have made some improvements to Box Drives update behavior by including silent updates when Box Drive is launching, if an update is already available. This improvement is in v2.3 for Mac and v2.3 for Windows.

My Box Drive application has taken All Or Nothing, to literal.
I work for a national firm that produces hundreds of work folders daily, in retrospect I am assigned to 4 weekly. The Sync option through the Box Sync application allowed me and other users access to specific files on their laptops without being overwhelmed by the company's very long list. Assigned folders were Synced and then managed on laptops using the File Explorer. Which made working with these files very efficient.
Currently, there is no option for me to selectively access my assignment folders on my laptop without searching for them specifically in the growing listing of company-wide folders.

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.

Select folders to sync
Select folders to sync with Box Drive rather than having to sync all folders.
170 votesHi 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.

Admin Reports - User Activity -> Actions needs a field for if the user triggered or an automation like Box Drive triggered
When you see "downloaded" next to Box Drive for the action, you dont know if it was a folder marked for offline just downloading automatically, or if the user is actively opening the file...this needs clarity!

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.
■Technical Information for Box Drive Administrators
Modifying the maximum cache limit:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695894-Technical-Information-for-Box-Drive-Administrators＜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。

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.

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。)12 votes -

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…1 vote -

Can you please add a check for updates option in the box icon in the taskbar? I run into versions that are old on users pcs that either user ignored updates or never get a prompt and I know there is a new version available .

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!

Please do not cancel Box Sync
My colleague uses Box Drive to do the same tasks I do with Box Sync. He has had nonstop issues because the files are not stored locally. Please do not get rid of Box Sync. I want the files to be stored locally!
