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…

When copying a link that has a past due expiration date notify the user when they copy the link
When copying or emailing a link from Box Drive that has an already past due expiration date notify the user when they copy or attempt to email the link so they can update the link. That way the sender doesn't receive feedback about the link not working and appearing incompetent.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Overview of Synced Folders
It would be useful to be able to see all the folders you’ve synced to your hard drive.
I often have to make large graphics files available offline so I can work on them. I’m typically working across 40+ projects with other people picking things up at various points, so it’s easy to lose track of what’s still active. As such, hard drive space fills up.
Currently, managing files requires hunting through massive directory trees for anything that has a little green tick. Or the less labour intensive but equally daunting option of ‘going nuclear’ and unsyncing everything and starting…

Disable ability to use a secondary password
We'd like the ability to disable the use of a secondary password at both the account level and user level.
Main risk for us is that users can map a shared drive and use FTP with a secondary password - which would allow WU data outside of WU managed PCs all while bypassing SSO.

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 -

Nested folders
With the current collections capability, it looks like collections don’t have any organization within them. If you wanted to organize things into “folders” within your projects you’d have to title collections all at the top level with a naming that implied a hierarchy in order to map shared items into groupings one layer of organization down. Something like:
Collections:
Project1-folder1
Project1-folder2
Project1-folder3
Project2-folder1
…I would have preferred to build an arbitrary folder tree and place shared items into specific places in my folder hierarchy.
Obviously it would be more useful if this organization was available in Box Drive too.

"Show File Location" for Files Currently Uploading Through File Explorer/Finder
At this time, Box Drive only lists the File Name when checking the "Transfers" menu of synchronizing items. No indication is given as to where this syncing is taking place. The User is forced to memorize the location of an upload/download until it has completed.
I'm currently experiencing an issue where many large files (Gigabytes) are forever uploading after an unknown error restarts the upload upon completion. The only solution I've been given is to Log Out, thus deleting my Terabytes of Available Offline files. "UnsynchronizedFiles" in AppData proves to be unhelpful with certain errors.
Box Drive should allow the…

See all current Box downloads in Admin Console
I'd like to see a page in the Admin Console that shows all of the Box download files, like for Box Drive and Box Edit, with their current version numbers.
Please start including the version number in the download files so you can know what version you are downloaded without having to install first.

Add text notification that "Create Password" link will expire in 48 hours.
It is not uncommon to let an email sit for a few days or come back to it.
We are suggesting adding a comment on under that link notifying users that they should set that password now, since it'll expire.
This could drive quicker action with all users and less work on Admins who need to resend.
