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

Fix Box Drive icon overlay conflict on Microsoft documents
On behalf of Blackstone:
Content that is on user's machine/desktop is showing red lock icons overlaying the icon of the file type, on content that has, but also has NEVER been in Box
Please follow modern Microsoft guidance and not use legacy integrations to Windows. The existing implementation is conflicting with our usage of OneDrive.

Enable admin settings to customize new user onboarding setup flow
The new user onboarding displayed at https://{DOMAIN}.app.box.com/onboarding/setupflow should be customizable.
Currently new users are guided through a one time onboarding set of screens in the web app. These are Box branded and while they personally greet the user are not otherwise configurable.
This feature should be opt-in, easily disabled by CLI or API (e.g. show-onboarding: False), or allow for customization.
We can currently enable the promotion of Box Mobile, Notes, etc. in the Admin Console. This would be similar to implement and appropriate on the User Settings console tab.
Right now the final screen displays a prompt for the user…

Allow Shared folders to be owned by Domain ( vs user)
Similar to Google's Shared Drives, allowing admins to set ownership of a shared drive at the domain level vs user (human or service) would minimize the need for Service Accounts or changing ownership as users leave the company.

Searching Sub-Folders
We have a user that asked the eblow question. They are referring to Box Drive folders that have been marked for offline use, as well as those in the cloud:
"I would like to see improvements in the Box Search capability within Windows Explorer. You cannot execute a search across sub folders within your Box Drive folder structure, only within the currently viewed folder. If I know what folder a file was in I have eliminated 90% of the reasons I need to search. I get the same search limitations for Cloud based folders and folders saved offline to my…

Ability to preview previously cached files by using spacebar in mac finder
When navigating through files in Mac Finder, if you select a file and hit spacebar it will pop open a preview.
Since Box Sync supports this one would think if a file has been previously opened and cached locally by Box Drive, it would also be supported but it doesn't

Ability to restrict fonts based on OS across all platforms
Wants a setting to restrict the usage of characters that are restricted in the OS. for example, Box webapp allows more characters that Windows OS allows. This result in inconsistency when using Box Drive, what appears in Box Drive and what actually exists in Webapp.

Changing default columns view in File Explorer with Box Drive - Move or hide sync status
The recent 2.48.250 release has forced a new Sync column in File Explorer. This new column is fixed in position and can't be hidden. I, for one, don't care to have this column take us space in the Explorer as I have a smaller laptop screen.
When you select the column and hide in Explorer, it shows up at the next refresh back in the same position.
The integration with File Explorer should follow Windows 11 preferences and be adjustable just as OneDrive is.

Dragging files or folders out of BOX makes a copy
With the recent update to BOX Drive, when you move something from BOX to your computer it removes it from BOX. It used to make a copy by default. We use BOX as a shared file server and this change allows for accidental deletion.
Can you please add the ability to make this copy rather than move the file, only when moving out of BOX onto the computer or an outside volume?

Have sync centralised in cloud and automatically sync between website and computers
Keep the concept in Box Sync where you choose what folders you want to sync on Box.com or via Box Drive on computer. Then Box.com and all computers using Box Drive should sync those folders. I don't understand why we currently use "Make Available Offline" feature to individualise syncing for each computer instead for all computers of same account.
Also, documentation says you lose these offline files once you log out of Box Drive. That's a pain if you have to redo choosing which folders to make available offline.
Overall, sync like in Box Sync is a more desirable feature…

Bookmark URL
It would be nice if “Bookmark” type files were compatible with Windows URL files. Indeed, I have Box Drive installed on my PC and I cannot open URL files from my PC because the extension is not compatible.
Sincerely,

Bonjour,
Il serait bien que les fichiers de type "Signet" soit compatible avec les fichers URL de windows. En effet, j'ai Box Drive installé sur mon PC et je ne peut ouvrir les fichiers URL depuis mon pc car l'extension n'est pas compatible.
Cordialement,
Ewann

Add .dwl files to ignored file type list
Would really appreciate .dwl files (temporary files created by Autodesk apps) being added to the Ignored file type for syncing in Box Drive. Currently .bak files are there which within Autodesk apps we have the ability to repath anyways. With .dwl files, we have no control... they go in the same folder as the file. They are not always deleted as they should be due to Program crashes and end up cluttering the folders needlessly.

Change login flow of desktop apps so it does not use default browsers
Box Notes also uses the same login flow as Box Drive - which uses the default browsers to login (IE for Windows, Safari for Mac).
We have Windows and our Idp cannot use IE for the login process. We would like to request support for using other browsers or a different login process that does not require IE.

Box Online Only
Admins should be able to decide which groups of users are allowed to use Box Drive versus Box online only. Box Online only would increase security in that users would not be able to download files and would be forced to edit/view files in browser only. This helps tremendously in securing data that contractors need to access.
