  1. View right holder to download the watermarked files from box drive.

    that way, people with view right do not need to go box.com website and download each file.
    + it will be great if they could download including folder trees with watermarked files(Pdf, ppt, excel etc).
    Take this as consideration

  4. 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.

  6. Enabling external links/references in excel workbooks

    In Excel any external references (e.g. in macros or other workbooks) are disabled, for data driven companies who use excel heavily it would be ideal to have these functions available in box drive. Using Box online can be limiting.

  7. Add-ons tab and drawing ability

    The one crucial thing is that people cannot today leave google docs or other Word editing software. Because the G-suite integration misses the add-ons tab. You can buy stuff via the add-ons tab in google drive, like icons and symbols. These cannot be used in the g suite integration.

    Also the draw option is not available. I want to be able to draw tables and figures in my documents, i can't do that. So if im Writing in a document, at some Point i have to stop and refer back to google drive, which makes the whole idea of using…

  9. Support for setting the save location to hard drive directory such as "My Documents" instead of "My Documents/Box Sync"

    This would help save the trouble of having to re-map all of their computer programs save locations to a new Box Sync folder.

  10. Notarize the application for MacOS

    Box Drive seems to be notarized, however the Box Tools / Box Edit installer is currently not, so my system warns me that this is "an application downloaded from the internet".

  11. The ability for user to check for new updates within Box Drive.

    Can you please add a check for updates option in the box icon in the taskbar? I run into versions that are old on users pcs that either user ignored updates or never get a prompt and I know there is a new version available .

  12. 1. Search for specific file extensions. 2. Replace file extensions within box web

    1. We should be able to type in a specific file extension in the File Type.
      Ex. I'm trying to search for all .4tx files that we have, which are old 4sight Fax documents. These files are actually TIFF images, but we need to replace the extension on all of them so we can view them in our current environment, since we don't use that really old application. Box doesn't have a way to search specifically for those extensions so I have to search all file types and end up getting way more non relevant results.

    2. If we have a file…

  14. Noting a collaborator's actions, even if just comments

    When a collaborator enters a file online and makes comments, that should register as a change to the file date and note who. Also, comments should sync to the local drive.

  16. Create and add Team Collections via Box Security Group

    We need the ability to create "Team Collections", essentially replicating the function of a Team Drive and provide this shortcut to Users on specific Teams. Given the nature of how Box files/folders are owned by a single User, it makes the function of a Team Drive almost impossible. I think of this as a Mapped Shared Drive in a File server.

    If it were possible to assign Team Collections via Box Security Group, I would be able to provision these Team Collections by an AD Attribute or AD SecGroup, via IdP Rule which maps to a Box Security Group. These…

  18. Do not allow users to complete a system logout or shutdown until all items are uploaded to Box.

    We trying to leverage Box Drive to replace home drives for students. They are using Box Drive in their computer labs, but have recently reported that Box Drive will allow a user to log out (or shut down their computer) before all content has been uploaded to Box. I know we have a dialogue box associated with "in progress uploads" when logging out of the Box Drive application specifically. We are requesting an expansion of that logic to prevent users from completing a system logout or shutdown before Drive has a chance to sync all their files.

  20. More detailed error handling with sync errors

    We have a user who is on Box Drive that has had several sync errors come up on his Box Drive client over the last week, but when he clicks on the info icon next to the s"9 items with sync errors message" it just gives them a generic error message with no details about which files can't be synced or how long they haven't been synced. I don't know if there's an existing solution for this, but thought I'd mention it here.
