"Box Problem Items" error dialog is useless
I received "file path is invalid on this system" errors from Box Drive through a "Box Problem Items" dialog. This window is useless! All it lists is the problem folder names. I can't simply rename the problem folder from this window; I can't click the folder icon and navigate to the problem folder in my file structure; I can't even swipe the file name and copy it into the search bar so I can find the problem folder on my own. Such a garbage error report! Please make this dialog actually useful

Ability to Select the AI Processing Region
We would like to request the ability to select the region where AI processing is performed.
Some customers in Japan — especially in regulated industries — require that AI processing be executed within the Japan region as a prerequisite for using AI features.To drive broader AI adoption among financial institutions and other highly regulated customers, this capability is essential.

Box Shield - enable download details to be exported to csv
Box Shield reports should have a button to trigger a User Activity report for the activities associated with the period of the Box Shield Alert - ALL actions (not just downloads).
This will assist in the investigation of downloads, and enable us to identify 'FALSE' shield reports - where downloads are in fact folders being copied or moved in Box Drive

Folders inside of Box folder should respect global folder view settings (e.g. icon size, etc.)
This is a known limitation of Box Drive (as documented here: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues-and/Windows-Specific-Known-Issues-nbsp-for-Box-Drive/ta-p/37355, issue #3).

Native Finder-search (MacOS) is mandatory
from your own web-page:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695774-Mac-Specific-Known-Issues-for-Box-Drive"Mac search tools, such as Spotlight, Finder search, tags , do not return search results from Box Drive. Use Box Drive's search functionality instead."
Box Drive is not fit for purpose, since it forces every single file-search in the user's home directory to be executed twice:
- once in the home directory
- then again using Box spotlight search
- then put the 2 Finder windows side by side and do a manual inventory - unbelievable
I frequently search my home directory. The poor search functionality is a major miss, affects my work badly
Please look to…
2 votesWith the rollout Box Drive v2.53 (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/53361463306515-Box-Drive-v2-53-Release-Notes), Spotlight Search is now supported for macOS clients. Users can scope a search in Spotlight to Box Drive, from which [relevant] Box content, in relation to their query, will be returned.
Finder search is still limited in scope, while tags should return tagged Box Drive items. If there's any issues noticed, or if any lacking functionality is still an issue, please let us know.

Different Reference method to the Box location
I need to be able to refer to a Box Drive location independent of a drive letter - Six users. Five users have box configured to sync to c: The sixth user has to have the location on his D: drive, due to space limitations (and big "Box" size).
we need some way to refer to these files in some other more universal method (LIKE a UNC path... or \127.0.0.1\BOX\ or YOU NAME IT ) so that the SAME reference will work, whether someone's Box drive is on C: or D:

Slow IO: Switch from SQLite to something faster?
Benchmarks show that BOX drive is 50% to 90% slower than direct filesystem
Boxdrive stores the files in the cache as-is so there is no cpu overhead in encryption or packing, IO should be as fast as native filesystem.Perhapse the SQLite database layer is slowing things down?
If that's the case, replace Drive backend with something faster, like this one:
https://www.iboxdb.com/See, it already has Box in the name :-D

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

box sync
The company I work for would love to keep the box sync app running for our computers as it is a real convince to only sync the files the designers are working on at the moment and allows us to control what to work on and not have to search through the whole box drive to find the one file every time to work on.

BoxDrive app for Windows better error messages visible to users
We are trying to troubleshoot BoxDrive connectivity issues and the only error it generates now is "Verify that you are connected to the internet and restart Box Drive". This error is not specific enough to start the troubleshooting process. BoxDrive for Windows needs to have a better error messages shown to the users if it's an issue with network connectivity, user authentication or any other issue.

Relay: Involve external Users to a manual workflow as "not-owner" of the folder/file
Hi,
i discribe a situation:
The Admin is the owner of all folders/files, directors has co-owner-rights and all employees are editors. It is similarly discribed in "Folder Structure Best Practices" under "Business Unit Drive"
Now we invite some external users... not only the owner can invite them.
Then we create some relays for specific folder, especially some manual ones, assign a task and set the Assignee to "Specify at startup"...not only the owner can do this.
Last but not least we start the manual workflow and choose as Assignee an external user... but wait...ONLY the owner of the folder (1…20 votes
