Ability to sync dot-files
I'm a developer and my projects are synced to box, and I need, when I access my projects on another computer, to retrieve all my files, including my "dot" files (such as .env, .gitignore, .editorconfig, etc.). Only, now "dot" files are not synced, as explained on this page:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195433. This is a problem, so it would be nice to be able to manually force certain files to sync or to have them automatically sync.3 votes -
Ability to request a bulk download of data sent to us via hard-drive .
Allow us to request a bulk download of our data which Box would fulfill at their technical support center. This would enable us to receive multiple Terabytes of data without bogging down our corporate network or using applications which are prone to download failures. The data would be stored on hard-drives or solid state drives either purchased through box or sent to box to fulfill the request

SVG thumbnails corrupted
Hi,
We are using box to store loads of SVG images of apartment floor plans.
When looking at a folder containing these images, the thumbnails are filled with large black areas, making it impossible to make out anything.From what I can see, the svg image preview is a .jpg image, so when the thumbnail is generated it probably fills some transparent areas with black.
Would it be possible to just use the SVG as a thumbnail instead? in our case all the generated jpg thumbnails are actually larger than the original svg.
I would provide an image / example but I see no field for uploading one here.

New App Management UI needs improvements
The New App management UI was released the week of Feb 3 2020. We would like to see a few enhancements:
1) Provide a way copy or export the whitelist of client IDs for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
2) List the App ID or App Name along with the Client IDs that are whitelisted for custom applications. This is found under Admin Console - App - Custom Apps - Settings - Disable unpublished apps by default
3) Provide better explanation for each section under Custom Apps. Where are the Oauth2 apps entered versus the JWT apps. What is Require manual admin authorization for transactional access Apps.

Set a password for the "People in Company" shared link.
"People with the link" shared links can be set a password.
We want to use this for "People in Company" as well.Some companies also require you to set a password when sharing items to company users.
We believe that this feature will allow us to utilize Box even more.「リンクを知っている全員」の共有リンクには、パスワードを設定できます。
これを「会社のユーザー」にも設定したい。会社によっては、会社のユーザーとアイテムを共有するときにパスワードを設定する必要があります。
この機能により、Boxをさらに活用できると確信しています。2 votes -
Save Function
In terms of product improvement, it is evident that the “Save As” functionality is not an efficient way of saving existing files within Box. If a “Save” or “Sync” functionality is available, this would make the end user experience better. Your other competitors like Microsoft’s SharePoint does have the functionality available to just sync without needing to go through the whole “Save As” approach.

Shared link permissions enterprise default
A way to force reset everyone to the enterprise default for shared link permission level.
+
A setting that would allow only a subset of users to have the broader level of sharing – say there is opt 1 – people in company / opt 2 people in company + invited / opt 3 people in company + invited + anyone with the linkEx. So the enterprise default for all users would be locked down to a max of option 2 (giving users opt 1 & 2 as choices) – we could allow a small subset option 3 (giving them all options)

Email upload failures, granular details requested
Email upload failures to provide more details about the email address and folder being uploaded to. In some instances, automations get set up and users that set them up leave, which means if they start failing, the remaining users do not know what folder it is going to if they cannot locate the automation. In others, a box upload email accidentally gets added to CC. Adding the requested information would help customers hunt down the folders in question to ensure nothing improper was uploaded or to help locate the automation.

Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally
Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.
For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.1 vote -
Improve Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance
mprove Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance - specifically when it relates to file types like .eml or .msg.
1) Allow for exceptions - e.g. quarantine all content that is uploaded with .msg, but allow it for Y folder. Use case: one team in particular needs to be able to save this type of content to Box and has permission from legal to do so.
2) Change the "Email" option to include "User who violated the policy" - for example, in addition to sending a warning email to Admins who want to track upload of .eml files, also send the email to the person who violated the policy. Currently, this is done if you quarantine, but the email does not go out to the violator if only the notification setting is turned on.mprove Quarantine capabilities in Box Governance - specifically when it relates to file types like .eml or .msg.

Allowing the ability to ignore ownership on certain files
We are trying to store Capture One Photoshoots on Box Drive so multiple people can access them and all adjustments are saved. There is the session file, RAW image files and various files storing the processing settings, thumbnails, etc.
I can copy a shoot to Box and work on it fine but if someone else tries to work on it, Box won't let the software overwrite the settings file and makes copies of everything with the 2nd persons email address on it. This is related to ownership of the files.
It would be great if we could turn that off like you can with a server on Mac so that it doesn't make duplicate files.
Thanks

Approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files
We want to approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files.
For example, I get an application for three files and I want to turn back only one of them, but as it stands, I need to turn back all three. The applicant has to choose three files again and re-apply, which is very time-consuming.

Upload Completion Notification
I love how I am notified when a set of files are uploaded into a specific folder but I am having one very key issue. I will receive the notification upon upload, but many times because it is 10+ large images, the images are not done uploading. I will review the folder but be unaware that the Upload is not complete. I may see 5 images with 5 still uploading.
Is there a way Box could show us of upload progress? OR possibly send a second notification when the upload is complete?

My Collection and Favorite to be independent on the Web
Hi Team,
The client requested that My Collection and Favorite to be independent from each other on the Web so that it is easier to see each folder inside.
The client has an image something similar to what is now on the mobile app.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
