Auto-Update Drive so there is no end user interaction needed
We have 15000 users and trying to manage manual updates for Drive is tedious and often painful.
17 votesBox Drive will silently update without user interaction if an update is available when the user launches Box Drive (such as after they reboot their machine)

Box Connector for Microsoft Graph
One limitation of the Box Connector for Microsoft Graph is the use of the same email address between Box and Microsoft Office.
Because the Microsoft UPN and Box email address don't match, the above functionality isn't available.
I would like to see a mechanism to relax the above restriction and allow it to work even if the Microsoft UPN and Box email address do not match.11 votesThis feature has been release and the Graph Connector now supports aliases.

Box Drive 'locked file' icon on Windows PC is gray, while the icon is red on Mac OS X
The gray icon is hard to see on PCs due to the size and color. It would be great to improve parity between environments, and have the lock icon be red on both Mac and PCs.

Support Password-Protected Shared Links for Box Notes
There's a known issue/limitation currently (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/Box-Notes-Notices-and-Known-Limitations/ta-p/340) where Box Notes do not work correctly when the shared link is password-protected.
REQUEST: Allow Box Notes to have password-protected shared links just like any other file on Box.
23 votesThis is not a priority for the team at this time. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

Display warning if a document is open
Display a warning similar to read-only if another team member has a file open. Currently this is not possible without code installed at the individual PC level and there is no solution with MAC (just confirmed with support). The conflicting versions can be frustrating for teams and the tiny lock icon is just not a large enough warning when opening from box drive.
21 votesFor Office files stored in Box, we are enabling the capability coauthor in real-time with collaborators. This will eliminate issues that arise when creating conflict copies. For other files types that do not support coauthoring, we do not have a feature planned on our roadmap, to notify users when the file is locked outside of the lock icon that is displayed on the file in the Explorer/Finder view.
We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Box Notes Export or Download to Common Formats
It would be great if Box Notes supported a simple way to Download/Export into non-Box format like plain text, html, markdown, rtf, or Word. I am hesitant to leverage Box Notes until this feature is present.
27 votesIn Notes 2.0, we have the option to 'Print' which allows saving of the note as a PDF.

Save Microsoft Teams Recordings to Box
When recording a call/meeting in Microsoft Teams, it defaults to using OneDrive as it's default storage. Currently the process of saving a recording is a manual process of downloading the recording, and uploading to Box. I'd like an option to default recording data to Box instead.

Enhance Box reporting feature
Box’s limited and slow reporting abilities are frustrating for their customers. This has been the same for past 7+ years of me working on Box.
It makes harder for IT teams to believe and justify to our business users that an application that cannot spin a basic out of box report on stored content for days, is the “Enterprise “ solution we recommend for our public company. And we have no other option but to wait for days for the report to “hopefully” work.

Improve way to update lock status of a file
When a file is locked by a user in Box Drive, users who are looking at the same file at that time via web browser will not noticed the file is locked until they refresh the page. We would like to have the lock status updated in a more dynamic manner without the need for a page refresh

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,
Evann
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

Unable to add URLs ( Internet Shortcuts) to Box Folders
Favorite URLs ( Internet Shortcuts) are unable to drag and drop on Box folders, while the same is available for local folders ( C Drive). I find this very frustrating and limiting our ability to use BOX. Please resolve this issue urgently.

file transfer status
One of our users recently asked the following:
"The Transfers pane in the Box drive alert window rarely shows any file
names, even when files are actively being transferred. Please change the
Transfers window so that it shows a rolling list of all transferring and
recently transferred files and a time remaining estimate. The list
should be rolling and not clear when the transfers are done. It should
always be possible to see the last 5-10 files that Box Drive has
transferred."I'm not sure if this is a reasonable request, but thought I'd share it here.

Allow for use with disaster loss prevention (DLP) programs like those offered by Symantec.
DLP works by whitelisting specific device IDs. However Box Drive does not make a fixed device ID.

Upgraded my laptop, lost hundreds of files, Box support claiming files never properly synced
Hi Box, I am incredibly frustrated and disappointed with your product. Your customer support team said I need to post the feedback here. I have been using Box Drive for the past four years and was using it to keep track of sensitive and important records and information related to my employer's financial statement audits. This included hundreds of workpapers and workbooks used to gather and compile information to send to our auditors for the company to pass our annual audit. I could view the files in Box Drive and in the online web browser, indicating that they had…

Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user group basis.
Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user/group basis. This could be for mobile apps, Box Drive, etc. Really make the control more granular than just all on/off for the Enterprise.
