  1. Box Drive: Change icons for syncing vs. synced files

    I honestly think the best solution is to have a smaller icon when the file is synced, and have a larger icon when the file is syncing. You’re assuming the file is synced at all times, so no need for a giant icon to say “yes, it’s synced”.

    However when the file is syncing is when there could be an actual issue, so you could make that icon large to say “hey, this file isn’t up to date here, give us a second.

  3. Dragging files or folders out of BOX makes a copy

    With the recent update to BOX Drive, when you move something from BOX to your computer it removes it from BOX. It used to make a copy by default. We use BOX as a shared file server and this change allows for accidental deletion.

    Can you please add the ability to make this copy rather than move the file, only when moving out of BOX onto the computer or an outside volume?

  8. Block Google Drive and enable all Google Workplace files to auto roll-in to Box instead.

    Block Google Drive and enable all Google Workplace files to auto roll-in to Box instead. This gets us a step closer to the vision of Box as the single place for all content.

    Today, even though I have Box, employees can still save into Google Drive, which creates security, governance, privacy, and other risks.

  10. Box Shield - enable download details to be exported to csv

    Box Shield reports should have a button to trigger a User Activity report for the activities associated with the period of the Box Shield Alert - ALL actions (not just downloads).

    This will assist in the investigation of downloads, and enable us to identify 'FALSE' shield reports - where downloads are in fact folders being copied or moved in Box Drive

  11. Auto deleting files from my desktop once they are moved into box

    Hi- question on moving files. Say I create a document on my desktop and then drag and drop it into box. The original document on my desktop is not deleted. I would like this to happen automatically so I am not editing the most recent file. Is this an account preference with box or with with my computer?

    Example: I create a document file on my desktop just by opening up a Microsoft Word document. I then finish the document file and drag and drop into my box drive on my hard drive, but the file still exists…

  12. 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:

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.  Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  13. Control when/how Box Drive updates are deployed

    End users don't have local admin rights, so IT has to frequently add the new installers to JAMF and SCCM policies

  14. Seamless zoom in box web app for pictures

    In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps. I'm requesting improved zooming support inside the preview/webapp experience.

    Currently to zoom you must manually click the +/- button which is a loss of function compared to a native desktop app where you might be able to zoom with the mouse wheel or ctrl+mouse wheel.

    Requesting that Box add a similar functionality to the preview / webapp.

    Below is Box' current official workaround for the issue:

    Windows Store Applications (Photos, Office, etc.): Users are unable to open files from the Box Drive folder when navigating to it from within…

  15. Provide a stable (unchanging) hardware or Device ID for the "Box" mount created by Box Drive

    We need a way to exclude the "Box" mount from AV/DLP/Security products. Many of these products need a Device ID for their exclusion policies.

  16. Allow to only show Favorited items like box on the web

    Allow Box Drive to show All Files or Favorite Files. This will enhance searchability for actively used files first, or All Files for a broader search.

  17. See all current Box downloads in Admin Console

    I'd like to see a page in the Admin Console that shows all of the Box download files, like for Box Drive and Box Edit, with their current version numbers.

    Please start including the version number in the download files so you can know what version you are downloaded without having to install first.

  20. Clear cache after set period of time

    We'd like to enable users to install Box Drive but need to make sure the cached content is deleted when they leave even if Box Drive is not uninstalled from their device.
