Box Shutdowns down early during shutdown, so MS Word docs with changes can't be saved if shutdown aborted
This problem plagues me onace a week or so. When Windows 10 is shutting down, Box Drive shutdowns down early before Windows asks to save opened changed docs - so MS Word docs with changes can't be saved if shutdown aborted. I end up having to save locally, reboot, then put the file into Box, then shutdown a second time. Painful, especially at the end of the day.
Proposal - work with Microsoft on a way to delay the Box shutdown point - until after the cancel shutdown message occurs...1 vote -
Make the "Create New Collection" (+) button permanently visible
I would like to request a UI change for My Collections. Currently, the "+" button to create a new collection only appears when hovering over the "Collections" section. I request that this button be made permanently visible.
Reasoning:
Based on our user behavior analysis using Pendo, we have found a strong correlation between My Collection usage and Box AI adoption. Users who utilize My Collections tend to become more proficient and active with Box AI.To improve the employee experience and drive Box AI usage, we want to provide in-app training using Pendo guides. However, because the "+" button is…

Would love to have files/folders in numbered order when more than 9
In some of my Box Drive folders I would like to number the sub folders/files for best structure. So the folder names would be something like: 1. Budget, 2. Production plan, 3. ...... 10. Casting, 11. Marketing, and so on.
But when I have more than 9 folders numbered like this they will not keep in the numbered order. 10 and 11 comes before 2 and so on. This drives me and my coworkers crazy. Is there any way to fix this so that they keep in the numbered order 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 and so on?1 vote -
Permanently mark a file as not malicious
We had a user (with Box Drive) who had a file marked as malicious. She apparently made a change to a local copy and added it back to her folder, causing it to be marked as malicious a second time. In fairness, the hash is different, since the file changed. When I looked at the first event, I ran the file through VT, and the results came back as all clean, so I marked it as not malicious. The user was still not able to access the file. I had to go back into Shield, find the second instance, scan…

Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options fora team
Recommend an automated, timed backup onto a secure Duke folder for ToolKit folders/files to improve deleted file recovery options for a team. Now it appears that recovery of files that were deleted in a shared Duke Box Toolkit folder can only be recovered by the individual that deleted the file (not the co-owner or admin without the assistance of the individual that performed the deletion). For critical files this is a security risk to just store the files on the Box Drive because it severely limits identifying and recovering deleted files. The individual that deletes the file could do it…

Ability to Disable or Choose email Notification when Inviting Collaborators
We would like to have the option to email or not email a collaborator when sharing a content in Box. Example use case is when cleaning up Box permissions (group vs individual) and the Admin needs to do that seamlessly without bombarding he whole organization with Box invites to files/folders hey already have access to. Specially required for Internal collaborators.
Providing access permissions does not always require an invite given the way Box works, the internal user will simply see the content when they access their Box Drive or he portal.1 vote -
Web interface improvements - New Folder creation
Two things:
1) Within the Box Web App, allow for the creation of a New Folder and other features when you "right-click" within the view area. Google Drive already has this.2) After clicking the "New" > "Folder", to create a new folder, a pop-up window appears. Please have the cursor automatically highlight the "Folder Name" field, so that you don't have to click within the text field first to type a name.
These UI improvements will help with the overall experience. Thanks!

Add the service name that locked file to the Lock property
There is a issue that Box Drive and other third party apps can open files that are being edited in Office Online.
When I am editing a file in Office Online, the user who is editing the file becomes me, so I can edit the file regardless of whether it is locked.
This issue can be solved if we know the name of the service that did the locking.
Therefore, please add the service ID/name that locked file to the Get File API response.1 vote -

On PC's there are not many Colour Folder or File Options
Would love for a cross platform of identification of colour coding files and folders. On a Mac unless everything is operating from the same NAS we can see each other's marks. On a PC a lot of apps don't support colour coding for cloud based software which is grinding my gears.
I love that there is now commenting and various ways to communicate. Colour Coding would be a great addition if possible. I mainly use Box Sync/Drive though so this may be a lot more complicated but that would be SUPER APPRECIATED if there was such a feature

mfo
Make MFO content searchable locally via spotlight/finder. With Box Sync locally downloaded content can be searched and accessed via Automator workflows. MFO in Box Drive should mirror Box Sync to truly be considered "Made Available Offline".

Error notification of Box Drive should be restricted only be related to files which the user has accessed or edited before.
Or implement a new setting. Or implement a new setting to switch on/off to receive the error notifications.

Update the web app to support up to 1 TB of content, at least 10,000 folders
Update the web app to support up to 1 TB of content, at least 10,000 folders.
The Box Web App doesn't support large folder structures. I can successfully upload a folder with >100 GB of content (files are no larger than 4 GB each), and I can share the link. But the web interface only supports download of folders with up to 10 GB of content, even though Box supports files up to 32 GB! To download the folder, the user must use Box Drive or other client, which isn't an option for users without a Box account on the…

Allow authentication across multiple Box applications through one "passport"
There are many ways in which to authenticate to Box through Mobile, Sync, Drive, Web etc. Is it possible to have a single unified check wherein we could then open any end-point for Box to authenticate?

Report on Sync Incidents or Errors
A lot of the time, Sync errors are because of users. If you classify and identify these errors for our admin, it can help them use Sync better or identify a way to leverage Web App/Box Drive

Allow Device Pinning for web
Per the documentation, it appears that we should be able to enable Device Pinning for Box.com via web client:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043693814-Device-PinningHowever, despite the above documentation, there are only options to enforce Device Pinning for the mobile, tablet, and sync applications:
https://app.box.com/master/settings/devicesUsing sync instead of web is also not a viable alternative, as it has been sunset, with an EOL of December 2026:
https://community.box.com/admin-forum-25/announcing-end-of-life-for-box-sync-33734Notably, its replacement, Box Drive, is also not listed under Device Pinning.

Detailed content access reporting by location, client, user, etc.
We'd like to see a report in the Admin Console that shows where content is being accessed from and by whom, specifically for mobile (iOS or Android, etc.); but other information like Box Drive or Web App would also be helpful.

Don't cancel Box Sync!
I have used Box Sync for many years, and it does exactly what I need it to do, which includes syncing all the files that I keep there and allowing them to download to my computers. Other key features are:
on my MAC, I can search the files on the entire Mac INCLUDING the Box Sync files
I want to have ALL the Box Sync files downloaded on both my computers.
Apparently neither of these is possible with Box Drive, which will make it useless for me (and certainly not better, as all the emails claim).
KEEP BOX SYNC!

Allow force download from web for red flagged files.
On occasion, a discrepancy may be found between your local copy and the one on the web. I recommend adding the ability to override your local copy with the web version as a Box drive local option.
