Multiple users being able to update an Excel spreadsheet at the same time. i.e. Shared workbooks. using Box Drive.
This would be a highly advantageous as I believe there are many other customers that would benefit from this.

Organize Folders that are shared with me
I use box drive on Mac and my main finder window is cluttered with folders that have been shared with me and there is no way for me to organize these folders. I have 50 folders that I use maybe once a year in the same spot as a folder that I use every day. Being able to rehome those folders off of the main screen would be a huge plus.
Currently it feels like a messy desktop that I have no control over.

List and Grid support in the Content Explorer JavaScript Libraries
The java script libraries for content explorer do not appear to have an option to include toggle list/grid views which is available in the Box Drive experience.

Allow the ability to multi-click print
Currently in Drive (Windows only) you can print straight from Drive using the right click window pane.
What you cannot do, is multi-select and right-click print. You can do this in Windows Explore.

Alert on folder names not allowed in Box web
Box Drive will alert when a folder name isn't valid. Would be nice that there would be a way to not allow folder names in Box web when Box Drive doesn't support it.

Relaunch Box Drive After Auto Update
These updates do not notify users when done. Can this be an enhancement so users know when to start Box again?

Mac quick look
Box Drive needs the ability to show thumbnails in Finder on Mac and I need to be able to quick look the files even that have not been previously opened. If this isn't coming, I will be switching back to box sync.

Add account info to Box application window
One of our users recently asked the following:
"In the Box drive alert window, the Box Drive Settings gear icon doesn't
do anything useful. Please add an actual settings window with basic
information like file space used, buttons for pause/restart syncing, etc.The Box Drive window is an alert style window that disappears anytime a
mouse is clicked or any other window is interacted with. This is the
case in Windows 7 through Windows 11. It would be better if Box Drive
had an actual application window like most other apps."I know that manual syncing isn't possible yet in…

Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity
When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.7 votes -
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.

Identify locally any failed uploads
Hi, we have had users send entire folders with dozens if not hundreds of subfolders up to Box via Box Drive. In some cases, since they aren't reviewing all of the content they are uploading, there are some failures (inappropriate file or folders names, unsupported file types, etc). Box Drive names the failed uploads but offers no way to identify them in the Box Drive folder structure on the local machine. There are no icon changes that might identify those containing folders which have the failed uploads within them. A simple right click in the notification to show the offending…

Checking last accessed date and user on folders
Adding a feature where you are able to see the last time a certain folder was accessed along with the name of the person who accessed it. Similar to how it's done with google drive. This will help companies strengthen their security over data shared on Box Drive as this will allow them to keep track of who's accessing the files/folders. Especially when it comes to collaborators and shared links, you will be able to keep track of who has accessed these folders and when.

Box Shuttle should allow Box as one of the source systems to migrate from
Currently, Box Shuttle standard tooling only supports migrations from OneDrive for Business, Dropbox for Business, and Google Drive as a part of Google Workspace. Box Shuttle should support Box as one of the source systems, so that Shuttle can be utilized for Box to Box migrations.
For example, consider this use case: a researcher is leaving institution A, and their research lives in institution A's Box instance. Their new institution, institution B, uses Box, and they need to get 10 years worth of research data from institution A to institution B's box instance, without having to download and reupload, or…

git-like ‘RAW’ mode for Box Notes
When I have a Boxnote with a trailing backslash (’\’) a copy-and-paste into an xterm (Linux X11, Mac OS Xquartz), it converts the backslash to a control character.
When I copy a Boxnote with a backslash I get the following:
“”“
!/bin/env bash
echo “Hello World!” \
<A0>“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
“”“And the string ‘<A0>’ is highlighted.
It appears to me that Boxnote is interpreting a backslash at the end of a line as a ‘backslash<A0>’ when copy-pasted into an Xterm using vim. I tested the placement by putting a backslash in the…

I want to restrict the installation of the desktop application by user
Is it possible to add a feature to the management console that allows me to limit the installation of desktop applications (Box Drive, Box Note, etc.) per managed user?
Once this is achieved, there will be more control over which desktop applications a corporate user can install.
