  3. Updates on the lock functionality after Save as

    I want the lock to come off properly after Save As.(BoxDrive)

    If you save a file to a folder in Box Drive using "Save As" in the Office app and then close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
    If I close the app immediately, the newly created file will remain locked.
    The lock is not automatically removed when the application is closed.

    After saving the file, other users are not able to edit the file, and this is interfering with my work. I would like to see this fixed.

    名前をつけて保存後にロックが正常に外れるようにして欲しい(BoxDrive)

    Officeアプリの「名前を付けて保存」でBox Driveのフォルダにファイルを保存し、
    すぐにアプリを閉じると、新しく作成されたファイルにロックが残ってしまいます。
    アプリを閉じても自動的には解除されません。
    保存後に他のユーザーがファイルを編集することが出来ず業務に支障をきたしているため
    修正をして欲しいです。

  4. Ability to adjust document autosave sensitivity (if not, it makes version history obsolete )

    Recently noticed our company document autosaves are soaking up all of our version histories. Box Drive is reading every time a document is edited and autosaved as a new version. Even if you are actively editing the document it still is reading all autosaves the document itself is doing. For Mac Office, this occurs about every minute and there's no way to adjust it. I remember Box Drive being able to know if the document was edited or not upon close or save. This allowed for our version history to go back several months instead of several hours. Very bad…

  5. box sync

    The company I work for would love to keep the box sync app running for our computers as it is a real convince to only sync the files the designers are working on at the moment and allows us to control what to work on and not have to search through the whole box drive to find the one file every time to work on.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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!

  11. 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.…

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. 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!

  18. 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...

  19. Add support for Checkpoint DLP software

    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.
