    With 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.

  2. Auto Classification policy does not work when folders are copied or moved

    We would like to improve the behavior so that the auto-classification policy works correctly for files within the folder, even if the folder is copied or moved.

    【Details】
    Currently, the Auto Classification policy works correctly when files are copied or moved, but not when folders are copied or moved.
    For example, if a ".dwg" file is stored in the "Technical Information" folder, there is an automatic classification policy that assigns the label "Technical Information" (not for external collaboration).
    In this case, when a file with a .dwg extension is moved from the "Outside Shared" folder, it is automatically assigned the…

    Unfortunately classifying child items upon move/copy operations of the parent folder is not being considered at this time.

  4. Opening PDF files using native PDF viewer

    Clicking on a PDF should open the PDF in the default PDFviewer (e.g. Bluebeam) instead of previewing the file.

  6. User can perform multi-doc AI queries from the Box Apps view

    Currently a user can only select files in a folder to run a multi-doc query. They should also be able to select files in a Box Apps view to perform multi-doc AI queries.

    Hi, thanks for voting for this topic! This feature became generally available at the end of October. Please see here for more information: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/43182352974611-Query-single-or-multiple-documents-in-a-Box-Apps-view-using-Box-AI

  7. Allow BoxDrive search to be limited to files and folders names

    The current BoxDrive search will search the contents of the file as well.
    We would like to be able to narrow down the search target when searching, because sometimes it is enough to search only the file name or folder name.
    (In Japanese)
    現在のBoxDriveの検索はファイルの中身まで検索対象となっています。
    ファイル名やフォルダ名だけ検索で十分な場合があるため、検索時に検索対象を絞れるようにしてほしいです。

  8. Add additional file attribute filters when viewing files

    Currently there are only 3 file filter attributes. (Name, Updated, Size) Would like to add additional file details to the UI. For example, if a file is received via File Request and file description is enabled, have that available for view right on the screen instead of having it to hover the "i" icon to view the details

  10. I want to be able to bulk rename files and folders within a specified folder

    Bulk renaming files and folders in a specified Box folder though the web interface is a missing feature.

    It would be helpful to be able to do so, as often clients or projects change name and the "CompanyA - content of the folder" or "ProjectA - content of the folder" names need to be renamed as "CompanyB - content of the folder" or "ProjectB - content of the folder".

    When a company or project folder contains hundreds or thousands of names a string command like "rename text *** to text YYY in al files and folder…

  12. Auto-open files when downloaded from Outlook to Box Drive

    Currently when one downloads files from Outlook to box drive on one's laptop/desktop, one has to then go to that folder using file explorer (often several clicks or using the quick access menu) to open the file and then editing it. It would be very useful to have an auto open feature once the file is downloaded. Similar features are already available while using say Gmail on the web browser or even downloading a file from WhatsApp's desktop app.

  14. Download all versions of a single file at once

    If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.

    For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

  16. Ability to search files by SHA1 value

    Currently, the Box File APIs can give data about the SHA1 values, and these present in Shield Alerts also. It would be very beneficial to be able to also search by SHA1 values.

    Key use cases:
    1. Detection of duplicate content within Box to save storage space, consolidate data and reduce version management.
    2. File correlation across systems (i.e. using SHA1 to correlate Box files with external security tools / malware scans)
    3. Better compliance and chain-of-custody (ensuring files are unchanged)

    SHA1 values are referenced here:

  17. Auto deleting files from my desktop once they are moved into box

    Hi- question on moving files. Say I create a document on my desktop and then drag and drop it into box. The original document on my desktop is not deleted. I would like this to happen automatically so I am not editing the most recent file. Is this an account preference with box or with with my computer?

    Example: I create a document file on my desktop just by opening up a Microsoft Word document. I then finish the document file and drag and drop into my box drive on my hard drive, but the file still exists on…

  18. From Mobile apps, be able to stop autoread to next files

    It is when we put several mp3 files into a box folder or share multiple files with others. Then, when accessed these through the box app on a phone .... If we play one, the phone doesn't stop at the end, but goes on to play the next mp3 in the folder or the list of files shared.

    Having just that one feature is indesirable. It generates less traffic to the apps and less exposure to Box other services ... I suppose the assumption was possibly for listening to music. But when we share podcasts or voice recordings, the current…

  19. support editing of Open Office .odt, ods, and .odp files in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides

    I'm asking for Box not to block certain file compatibility functionality that is aIready within Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, when not used through Box. I would like to edit Open Office Formats .odt , .odp, and .ods files, preferably from with Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets respectively. MS Word does not support Open Office formats, otherwise I would request that as well. Somehow, Box is blocking Google Sheets and Docs from opening their Open Office file formats (.ods, .odp and .odt). Normally, Google Docs can open .odt files, if Box is not "in the way". See attached…

  20. Do not show Box files tab automatically in every Microsoft Teams channel a user has access to

    By default, when a user connects a Box folder with a MS Teams channel using the Box plugin for the first time, suddenly a Box files tab appears in any Teams channel the user has access to (no maztter if the user is owner or just member). This happens to all stanard channels (private channels don't work with Box Teams Plugin)
    This is absolutely confusing, especially when using MS Teams in a company/enterprise. The box files tabs are not linked to any Box folder. They need to be removed manually everywhere.

    Can you please implement a control which prevents creating…
