  1. Support for differential or byte-level or block-level syncing with Box Drive

    This type of transfer means only the changed parts of the file are transferred instead of the whole file.

    Here's a good explanation:

  4. The ability to drive unconstrained repeating metadata

    Essentially, this is allowing the ability to add metadata not necessarily from a drop down list.

  9. Drive: More granular controls when designating a file as Marked for Offline

    I tried to select particular folders to sync, but found that other folders that I had not selected were then trying to sync. I tried to stop them syncing, to find that then stopped the folders I was trying to sync. After going backwards and forwards a few times, Box Drive crashes.

    I just want this feature to work as it should, syncing just the folders I want and leaving the rest as online access only.

    What is happening is that when you click on a folder to select it and then mark it for offline, it is fine.

    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 UI.

    Thank you for the submission! This is not planned.

    We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

    We suggest using the Open With Preview framework which should give third-parties (the company in this case) the ability to integrate a viewer for these file types as part of Preview.

  15. Box available as Service on iOS Shortcuts app

    Currently in iOS Shortcuts app, iCloud Drive and Dropbox are available, Box should be there too. Will help in automating copying files to Box using Shortcuts on iOS.

  18. 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.

  20. Support smartcard authentication for Box Sync and Box Drive.

    Please put some more effort into federal customers inquiring about SSO sign in for Box Sync on Macs. The response I got was kind of a punt to our smart cards being the problem but fed agencies have an increasing mandate to login with smartcards. My specific issue may affect many other gov agencies that use Macs and Box Sync. Long story short – smart card certificate passthrough on Windows works as expected and certificates pass through Box Sync app login to the external SSO for USDA e-Authentication but the certificates don’t appear to make it to the external authenticator…
