  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  6. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. Icon or Warning Message to display when MFO using Box Drive would be helpful to collaborators

    Is there a way for an icon or warning message to display when users mark a folder for offline use or when a file is marked for offline use? This would really help since multiple people might be viewing and editing the same file and if someone is already working on it offline, then we wouldn’t want to make changes and override it.

  9. 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.

  11. exit

    Leave "marked for offline" files reachable by a folder on the hard-drive when you exit Box.
    It would be nice if the existence of "non-offline" files was still shown, just that they wouldn't be openable.

  12. Pre-populate Box signin userid (email) field

    Actually for all Box applications requiring sign-in from a computer.

    Allow the sign-in procedure to remember previously supplied email addresses (in a configuration file or in the Windows registry) or allow customization for users to provide a list of addresses. Then provide selection from a drop-down list at sign-in time.

    This is typical of browser access to the Box web page. It would greatly ease access to Box for Box Drive users that do not stay connected. Absence of this feature has us looking for alternatives to Box Drive for our desktop file sharing needs.

  14. 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.

  15. I want to set the file update interval to every 5 seconds.

    Box Drive accesses the BOX servers every second, so 10 million access logs are logged per month. To control this, we would like to be able to set the update time of files and folders.

  17. Box closes when close an app on windows web

    When opening an app, the close button on the top right of the app page, closes the entire page and exit Box (e.g., if Document or excel sheet is opened from Box Drive).
    It would be better if the close button, closes the app and falls back to the main Box drive page.

  18. 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:

  20. Invited folders cannot be consolidated by collaborator

    I am invited to view individual accounts by an outside company. I would like to be able to move these folders into a “company A” folder so that they are not at the top level of my box drive.
