Sign in with Google Across the Platform
Sign in options are inconsistent across the Box platform. If SAML/SSO or Sign in with Google is set up with an account, it should always be accessible in any place any user attempts to authenticate. I had an account without a password created via the Sign in with Google process and this meant there was one less password floating out there for account access. In order to sign in in certain parts of box.com or in Box Drive, I am required to set a password.

Offline signing
The ability to setup a sign document workflow for offline signing (when you do not have network access). This could be app based for signing on a mobile device, document is surface via a box drive (available offline) functionality; once reconnected to the network the documents are synced to box and stored as expected.

Working on same file simultaneously
Possibility in Box Drive - (and also in any other application (online, app,..))- to lock a file (e.g. Excel file) automatically as soon as one user is in the document.
Therefore, if the next user wants to open the same file while one user is already working on it, it gets immediately a message like "Read only". As soon as the user is out of the file, and no user has opened the file, whoever wants to open it, can open it without any warnings in editor mode.2 votes -
Request refresh token update again
OAuth2 refresh token update can be performed only once.
* Because the previous refresh token becomes invalid immediately.
However, there are unfortunate cases where a network disconnection occurs and the client is unable to obtain the refresh token.
Therefore, we would like to change the behavior so that the refresh token update can be requested again only for a short time.
Also, please publish the ping endpoint to a third-party that can check the communication with the Box server. (Box Drive is already using)2 votes -
I'd like to be able to share a link that defaults to open the file in the native app on macOS.
I'm not sure if this is more related to Box Drive or Box Tools, but it seems like it should be possible to open files in their native app rather than in the browser, or even just to open them in the Finder rather than on the web.
Some of the reasons:
1. Lots of people need to know where a file is within the larger heirarchy or get a file path, and it's significantly easier to do that in finder.
2. Lots of people just don't like having to click the extra few times.
3. It's frustrating to be…1 vote -
Enhance Custom Applications for large enterprises
Concerning "Custom Applications" (Admin Console-->Enterprise Settings-->Apps-->Custom Applications), the limits enforced by Box are entirely too low for a large enterprise.
--The dashboard for Custom Applications shows "22 of 25 App User licenses used". However, I only see 10 listed on the page. When I click the arrow icon to advance to page 2, I then see two more. So I can only view 12 of the 22 apps.
--When I click the 3-dot icon to the right of one of the apps to view the menu of actions, then click one of the actions, the view re-positions to the Box…

the folder tree display/tree operations
I would like the folder tree display/tree operations implemented in Content Manager to be implemented on the normal screen as well.
This will improve usability for people who are accustomed to Windows Explorer.
It will make it easier to transition from Box Drive to Box Web.1 vote -

Organizing Shared folders. Can't rely on collaborators to do it.
It would be very helpful if I could move shared folders into a "folder" (choose your term for some thing that would mimic a folder) that would allow me to group all shared folders together. Ideally, I would be able to create my own hierarchy within that folder to be able to organize all of the shared folders how I want vs. just having every shared folder cluttering up my Box root level. I know I can use Collections, however, Collections don't show up in Box Drive.

Add Bulk Files to a Hub
Currently, adding files to a Hub requires each file to be selected individually. Being able to drag a group of files from Box Drive would be really helpful, or some sort of a "Select All" button so that all files within a Box folder could be selected simultaneously.

Automatic Locking of Documents
It would really help our productivity to have all documents automatically lock when a user opens the file, other users that then open the document at the same time are notified they are opening a read only version since the document is currently opened by "insert user name". The file would then automatically unlock when the original user exits the file. Very similar to how Microsoft handles this with shared drives.

Google and Microsoft FORMS integration is missing!
I see that this is not planned based on lack of demand. I'm writing this comment to increase the demand.
I will continue to use SharePoint or Google drive because this is missing from box.
Word, PPT, Excel, Google docs, slides and sheets are all here... why not forms?

Links that open excel spreadsheets to a particular cell and/or worksheet
A few of the users here at Quay Australia have asked me about how to send out links to spreadsheets saved to Box that will open the workbook in question to a particular worksheet and cell, like the capability in One Drive detailed here: https://superuser.com/questions/804139/can-i-modify-excel-online-share-urls-to-open-to-a-specific-worksheet. I've tried this method with a Box link and it just opens the file where the last editor left off. If you could develop this capability, many of my end-users at Quay Australia would be very thankful.

Provide a stable (unchanging) hardware or Device ID for the "Box" mount created by Box Drive
We need a way to exclude the "Box" mount from AV/DLP/Security products. Many of these products need a Device ID for their exclusion policies.

Better handling of situation when another application creates a folder at the Box Drive folder path
Would like to see a few changes to Box:
1) A better error message
2) A possibility to continue regardless of the error
3) A better handling of the situation where an application have taken ‘ownership’ of the Box directory2 votes -
