Create a view of files or folders with unsupported names
Currently: If a file has an unsupported name, it will be listed in Box Drive or Box Sync without their path name. Users will have to manually search for the file which is not feasible if they have thousands of files with unsupported names.
Desired: Create a view of files or folders with unsupported search names in the Box web app to make it easy to rename and removes the process of having to manually search for them.
Nice to Have: Have a button, when clicked, expands to reveal the full path of files or folders with unsupported names

Ability to Link Directly to Google Editor UI
Currently, the Box + Google integration only allows a user to copy a standard Box shared link, which loads the Box Preview pane. For users that want to edit the file, they then have to choose 'Open' in order to open the Google editor UI and start making changes.
This is different than the behavior if the Google Sheet (for example) were stored in Google Drive -- in Drive, when recipients open the link for a file, it takes them directly to the Google editor UI so users can instantly start making edits/changes.

Upload, copy and paste .DES files.
I can't paste in my Box Drive folder .des files that come from a software I use. I can upload them manually to the cloud in the web app, but those files won't sync either. This never happened with other cloud service software and I can't work without those files and the program won't run.
Please accept .des files so I can use Box for my work.2 votes -
Specify the error in the Tracking section
Feature request suggestion: Currently all it says is "Unable to create folder: An error occurred in the workflow". It would've been helpful to see that the error was in the folder name. If there's a lack of space, we can list all the possible reasons for the error on Community too (I think we have a similar list for Sync/Drive errors).

BUG in the move operation: it takes 1000x longer on desktop than on website
on any desktop moving a file is instant
on an iphone moving a photo to an album is instant
therefore we expect instant effect of moving operation
in box that is not the case : move takes considerable time
for example I tried to move 200GB on a box drive where all items were online only, first the window appeared trying to enumerate the files, which kept climbing, as if it was doing the move one file at a time
then, as nothing was happening i stopped the operation
to test if move was a copy+delete like on dropbox i…1 vote -
Box new user interface option that mimics the Admin Console Content Manager user experience
Box new user interface option that mimics the Admin Console Content Manager user experience… REALLY valuable for people who are forced to use Box Drive, even though they would prefer the web app.

Allow System Administrators to download pkgs/msi's for all OS without being redirected on your site.
Hello!
I am unable to download the regular box drive pkg on my m1 mac. I am a system administrator who needs to download all pkgs/msi in order to support the business. I shouldn't have to use an intel based m1 mac just to download a pkg to upload to jamf.https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696254-Large-Scale-Deployments-Box-Drive
My suggestion would be to put direct links to the intel mac pkg on this page and the m1 pkg as well.

Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.
Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.
Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.
Dropbox:
https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2015/10/dropbox-badge-now-available/17 votesWhile we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

Sharing within Parent folders
I need to manage collaborators within a Parent folder, can you please enable this feature, many people are using Box drive as a file server and this will help us manage Freelancers very well.

New update with the search bar on the top is inconvenient.
Definitely prefer the search bar at the bottom closer to the box drive link. It's just easier to use there for fast searching. Less distance the mouse has to travel, and eyes are already focused there.

Remove the Sync icons in Webapp after uninstalling Box Sync
After transitioning from Box Sync to Box Drive (and uninstalling Sync), the “Marked for Sync” icons on the webapp should be removed to avoid user confusion on how syncing works with Box Drive.

Expand number of folders displayed in folder hierarchy
Our team works in incredibly deep folder structures and would appreciate the opportunity to view all subfolders in the folder hierarchy to more easily navigate through our folder structure. For example, if someone shares a file with me and it's in the "trailers" folder, it's very difficult for me to tell which project this is associated with unless I navigate many levels up in the folder structure to see a folder with the project name. Ideally, we would be able to see as many folders as can fit in the window space. Our team uses the Box web app and…

VTiger does not have an integration with Box.com
We are planning to use VTiger, a CRM software, but realise that it does not integrate with Box.com. Are there any plans to change that? Other wise we need to switch to Google Drive or Drop box. Thanks

Add "Shared Link" or "Copy Link" option from the search interface
Instead of having to right click for more options, add this to the right sidebar or to the search interface. Otherwise, all we think we can do from the Box Drive folder is open a file.
