  2. DLP

    When copying content from Box Drive to an external volume, Sophos DLP is unable to capture information about this event.

    According to the Sophos team, this is a result of Box Drive relying on a legacy file system filter driver, CBFS.

    It is suggested that Box update Box Drive to work with Windows file system minifilter drivers as opposed to CBFS. That way DLP could monitor and capture these events.

    Statement from Microsoft regarding legacy file system drivers as opposed to minifilter drivers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/blocking-file-system-filter-drivers

  3. Ability to see who locked a file

    identify who locked a file within Box Drive. If there is a file locked, it would be helpful to show the collaborator who has locked the file.

  5. Prevent the easy deletion of root level folders

    We accidentally deleted a root level folder for millions of folders.

    This may be done by locking the folder, where it could allow users to create/edit/delete the contents within the folder, but not allowing the locked folder itself to be rename/moved/deleted.

    This may also help Box Sync (and possibly Box Drive) users, as many Box Sync users often delete the top level folders by accident.

  7. Box OCR

    I am using Box on the desktop. Is there any way I can get Box to automatically run the OCR when I upload a pdf to Box? In order to use the Box AI, I have to always open the file and run the OCR on my local Adobe and save/reupload to Box before I can use the Box AI. That is very time consuming. If Box could automatically run the OCR when I upload the document that would be great.

  10. 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.

  11. The ability to merge PDFs in Box

    We would like to request the ability to merge multiple PDFs in Box to achieve parity with Microsoft SharePoint Online and One Drive.

    Merge and extract PDF files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/documentprocessing/merge-extract-pdf?view=o365-worldwide

  12. Box Hubs: Allow search functionality within Box Hubs for users without Box accounts

    Current functionality: If a user without a Box account access a Box Hub through a shared link, they do not see the search bar

    Desired functionality: A user without a Box account accessing a Box Hub will still be able to use the search bar

    Use Case: Using Box as a marketing DAM housing photos. A hub could be used to provide access to approved photos so that non-Box users can search for approved photos they need.

  14. Provide direct links for files listed in Problem Items window to the actual files in Box Drive.

    When users have a large number of Problem Items (> 10) it can be a pain to find exactly where these Problem Items are. The search function doesn't work well for these files and you can't even copy the name of these files. A direct link to them would be most convenient.

    By clicking on a Folder name the folder with the problem item will open in Finder/Explorer. This capability has been available to the Drive users.

  15. Bring back WebDav support

    Please bring back WebDav support. It had better performance than Box Drive or Sync and was easier to setup for Linux or Windows.

  18. Copy file name and URL and path for shared link

    The "Copy Shared Link" action in Box Drive (or Copy button in the Share pop-up dialog in the Web UI) should copy more than just the URL.
    It should also have the file name and the current Box path so when I paste the link into a chat or email message, it has all the information the recipient will want.

    <path> > '<filename>"
    <box share URL>

  20. Enable opening of objects with long folder paths

    In Box Sync, you were able to open files regardless of path length - there was sometimes an issue with saving long path files, but not with opening.

    In Box Drive, you cannot open files with long path lengths...which is obviously a problem for any organization that uses a deep folder structure.

    Solely seeking feature parody between box sync and box drive...
