  3. Enable Bulk Edit of Admin Settings for Box Sync

    My company is fully transitioning away from Box Sync and over to Box Drive. You can disable Box Sync from being used, but you can't perform a bulk edit on each person's account to uncheck Box Sync. Unless this is done, 'Synced' will still appear on the left hand side of a user's account. This will be a very time consuming administrative change when you have to manually uncheck this setting for hundreds, if not thousands of users.

  4. Choose location for files marked for offline

    Similar to Box Sync, would love to be able to choose a specific location for files marked for offline use in Box Drive. At least we could see the thumbnail previews.

  5. We would like to have a setting to control the ability to create shared links in Box Drive.

    Currently, users can right-click on content in Box Drive and generate a shared link from the "Share" menu. We need a way to disable this functionality through administrative settings.

    When creating a shared link from the web, it is possible to confirm that the shared link has been created by an icon,, however, when creating a shared link from BoxDrive, no icon is displayed, making it impossible to know whether a shared link has been created. Therefore, we want to prohibit creating shared links from BoxDrive.

    in Japanese

    BoxDriveで共有リンクを作成できないように制御したい

    BoxDriveでコンテンツを右クリックし、メニューの「共有」から共有リンクを発行することができるが、これを制御する設定ができるようにしてほしい。

    Webから共有リンクを作成する場合は、アイコンによって共有リンクが作成されていることが確認できますが、BoxDriveから共有リンクを作成するとアイコンが表示されず、共有リンクが作成されているかどうかがわからないため、BoxDriveからの共有リンク作成を禁止したい。

  6. SQ1

    I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro X and it uses a Microsoft SQ1 processor. Box Drive currently does not work with this processor. As we are rolling out these Surface Pro X's with our company it would be great to get box drive to work with the new SQ1 processor.

  7. Provide ability to obtain actual Windows path to a file in Box Drive.

    Rather than use shared links, customer wants to access files via direct windows paths

  9. Simplify Box Experience Per Design

    Currently, my firm has Box Drive integrated to our Salesforce CRM. What would help simplify and in the end optimize our experience by minimizing errors is to be allowed the option to remove the top search bar banner and the documents file path from the Salesforce instance. Limiting the access to other files from one contact to another can also help prevent accidental file modifications. Hope this can be of benefit to other Box users!

  12. Folder colors

    In Box it is not very easy to see what foders are shared externally. There are small globe icons on the collaborators, but if that list is too long, the external collaborator might not show up.

    Apart from that: the list of collaborators is not visible in Box Drive.

    Box should introduce a new Folder type (different color, different icon) to show that information in this folder is shared with external collaborators. This functionality should be available across all clients (Web, Drive, Mobile).

    Thank you for the suggestion. 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. Add installer flag to disable first launch after install

    Admins deploying Box Drive may want to push out Box Drive to users who are currently using their machine and do not want to alarm users with Box Drive suddenly appearing post-install.

    Add an installer flag admins can use to disable the post-install launch. Box Drive will auto-launch at the user's next login

  14. Better functionality for viewing photo libraries

    We have folders of photos - Box is not great either in browser or in Box Drive to review this. In Box Drive, i guess it struggles to cache all the thumbnails fast enough so it is effectively unusable

  15. Notification for Incompatible Characters in file and folder names

    We've run into issues with end users not being able to access content from Box Drive because the file or folder is created with a character that it is incompatible with Microsoft's file explorer.

    Could you add in a pop-up visual in the web view that points out when you're using a character that will not be accessible from Box Drive?

  16. Google

    Integrate Box as an additional "drive" in Google Drive. This would allow people to easily share documents from within Google Drive using Box. All of my templates are in Drive, I do real-time collaboration in Google Drive, none of which is currently doable in Box.

  17. Support Emojis in file names

    Box currently does not support Emojis in filenames, which means it won't sync if I drag and drop a file from my desktop into Box Drive. It would be great if Box would support the same characters in file names as current OSes

  18. Box Tools: Change Cache location

    Ability to customise the location of Box Tools folder

    We would like to have the feature to customise the location of Box Tools folders such as logs and cache folder. We want to have those under drive of other volume letter instead of the default location under C drive. This is because the storage size of C drive can be limited.

  19. Support for MacOS Finder Tags (the colored dots) in Box is Needed

    Under Catalina and before Finder Tags worked the same on Box Drive as they would on a local drive.

    Finder Tags are a significant feature for MacOS users and not having them any more is a problem. Many MacOS users depend on Finder Tags in work flows and losing this feature has broken long established processes to manage files.

  20. Freeing up space with Box Sync

    I would like the ability to save the Box sync folder onto a different drive on my PC. Currently, it's on the C drive, but it fills up FAST, so it would be incredibly beneficial for me to save it to another drive on it.

    Barring that, I'd like the ability to free up space on my Box folder so that it's only on my machine when I need it.
