Drag-and-drop file uploads in any portion of white space in a given folder
Files that are dragged from computer to browser window are not successfully uploaded to Box Drive folders unless they are dragged atop already existing files. Would you be able to expand the drag-and-drop's "catch region" to include all of the Box Drive folders' white space in a browser window? Thank you!

Edit PDF's natively in iOS app and Save as Flattened PDF
We currently use onedrive only to edit PDF's via our ipad using the apple pencil. It would be great if we didn't have to do this in onedrive and could just use Box. Especially as Box is our cloud drive.
One step better than onedrive's features would be that after editing the PDF with the apple pencil, then have the ability to save the pdf as a flattened PDF file. This is a great feature for signing documents and would improve workflow greatly.

Please automatically close the tab of the browser we used to log in after completing the login process.
The login method from Box Drive has been changed to using a web browser.
Currently, the behavior is that the tab of the web browser used for login authentication remains after login is completed.
The administrator is troubled by the many inquiries from end users asking if closing this tab will cause any problems.Reference：

Support for MacOS Finder Tags (the colored dots) in Box is Needed
Under Catalina and before Finder Tags worked the same on Box Drive as they would on a local drive.
Finder Tags are a significant feature for MacOS users and not having them any more is a problem. Many MacOS users depend on Finder Tags in work flows and losing this feature has broken long established processes to manage files.

Allow Admins to Monitor for Sync Errors
Currently if there are any sync errors in Box Drive the only way to identify them is for the user to notice the toast notification or click on the Box Drive systray icon. Relying on the end user to report errors is not reliable and almost caused us to lose data going back several years.
The only way errors are logged is in the Box Drive log files but no one from Box or Box Support is willing to share how those are logged for admins to monitor.
Box Drive needs to better log any errors encountered so admins can…

Seamless zoom in box web app for pictures
In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps. I'm requesting improved zooming support inside the preview/webapp experience.
Currently to zoom you must manually click the +/- button which is a loss of function compared to a native desktop app where you might be able to zoom with the mouse wheel or ctrl+mouse wheel.
Requesting that Box add a similar functionality to the preview / webapp.
Below is Box' current official workaround for the issue:
Windows Store Applications (Photos, Office, etc.): Users are unable to open files from the Box Drive folder when navigating to it from within these applications.…

Our Checkpoint installation is managing the USB drive policy, and Checkpoint is currently seeing Box Drive as an unrecognized USB drive, therefore write activities are being blocked to it.

Persistent cookies
Similar to Okta and Google Drive, we need the ability in Box to set use persistent cookie so the cookie doesn't expire when the browser is closed.
Google Drive allows this by default, and Okta lets us specify the policy for specific users:
( see usePersistentCookie according in https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/policy/#signon-session-object)Workflow:
* launch browser, go to Okta, and log in (our IDP)
* open up the box link - everything works
* close the browser
* open the browser
* I'm still logged into Okta (since I have usePersistentCookie turned on)
* when I go to a Box link, I'm…2 votes -
back up
Allow Box to automate back up to either a hard drive or 3rd party location automatically, give the recent concerns about CrowdStrike crash and how that stopped so many workdays, we want to protect ourselves if that were to ever happen in Box!

I want to specify Box directly as the file download destination from the web
When downloading a file from a website, it needs to be saved locally first and then uploaded to Box.
I would like a browser extension that would allow me to directly specify a Box folder as the download destination.
Of course, I know I could use Box Drive, but as a company I would like to stop using Box Drive in the future.

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...

Prevent desktop box folder deletion
Please create a way to globally disable users the ability to delete folders from their desktop with Box Drive.
They are under the impression that if they hit "delete" on the folders they are removed from the Projects. This in turn has caused a lot of chaos from team members deleting the entire Project folders instead of going to the Box website and revoking their permissions.
No amount of training we try do it can solve this with a company our size.
Team members are deleting terabytes of data and it's exhausting trying to recover all this data.

hidden files
We use Box Drive for Backup purposes (company policy dos not allow any other product for that purpose). Would be great to have a possibility to upload also the hidden config files which are marked with a dot in front of the filename (e.g. .abc-config) using macbook.
