Instant Clipboard Copying for generated 'Share' links
I think it would be a good idea to have feature parity with the Google Drive sharing experience which immediately copies your share link to your clipboard when the permissions settings popover appears.

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 -

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.

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…

Ability to edit shared link settings on Desktop
Currently, the only way to generate a shared link on Desktop is to generate the default style link (i.e. shared only within your company).
In order to get to the share settings window dialogue, you currently need to open the file on web.
It would be great to incorporate the share window dialogue natively in PC/Mac. This is a common feature currently available on OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive.

User logged in local value
Feature Request: A local value that can be read to determine if a user is logged into Box Drive.
This would be useful for launching custom workflows depending on if the user is logged in or not.

Direct Download Option from Right-Click Context Menu
Currently, when using the Box Drive on Mac Finder or Windows Explorer "right-click > Share > Copy shared link" only gives you the option for a share link that open to the web-browser preview page.
This is obviously not the preferred method for sharing files to people who need to download assets quickly.
Just give the option for "Copy shared link" and "Copy Direct Download link" in the context menu.
Thank you!

Box passwords user experience
Two issues I'd like to highlight that is significantly making the Box user experience for my users (and me) extremely frustrating.
1) Box Drive sign in experience
When my users try to sign into Box Drive and input incorrect passwords multiple times and keep trying, they get a captcha response requirement to continue trying. It's simply broken. It requires images to be selected but this process always gets stuck in an endless loop. I can confirm this from dealing with this on multiple systems running Box Drive and 100% of the time it got stuck in a loop. This captcha…1 vote -

Launch Zoom inside of Box
Launch a Zoom video from directly inside of Box web UI, Box Notes, etc.
The same way that you can launch a Google Meet video conference directly inside of Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.

CrowdStrike's ability to filter device protection by IP address
Box Shield allows you to protect your devices with CrowdStrike.
Once CrowdStrike is enabled, you will not be able to log in on devices that do not have Box Tools installed.
Therefore, if you have a device that cannot be installed on Box Tools, such as Linux, you will not be able to use CrowdStrike's protection of your device.
Only when calling from a specific IP address should CrowdStrike policies be applied.
There is a need to not want the policy to be applied to unmanaged devices, so we would like a function that allows us to narrow down…2 votes -
Ability to customize promotion settings
Please add a setting to not show the promotion that appears when users starts Box Drive.
That promotion can be confusing because it forces the user to see it even if the company does not allow that feature.1 vote -

Collections Page as My Homepage
So as designed, I think "My Collections page" is underutilized. Sure here is the only place you can edit/delete your collections and their titles...but this would be a wonderful place to drive users too as their homepage. Obviously, you all thought of that as well since it can be selected as "My Homepage" but right now I think a lot of folks won't want to because there isn't enough useful information on the basic page.
Please allow the user to better configure this page or at least have the collections unfurled/unnested. So that each time they go to this page…

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.

Bring back home directory "mountpoint" on the mac
I don't know if it's just me, or some problem with the privacy etc settings that have been a moving target with OSX lately, but after my latest reboot on a fully updated MacBook I was greeted with a popup from Box Drive saying it is now fully MacOS 12 compatible, and lo and behold, my /Users/app/Box directory is gone. I can only access Box files from the Explorer, but not the command line. I never looked into what the Box drive was exactly, a link, a mountpoint, no idea, but I miss it badly.
