1. Add ability to dismiss problem items if the user does not want to address the issue

   For example, a Box item's name has characters that Windows does not support.

   The user wishes to keep the name as is and doesn't need to see the item locally.

   With Box Sync, they could just unsync the folder to avoid the problem item. With Box Drive, they cannot avoid the problem item.

2. Enable Shuttle to Migrate Google-specific filetypes without converting

   Currently, Shuttle uses an export feature of Google Drive's API when exporting Google Workspace documents, and this feature converts exported files into their non-Google Workspace corresponding formats (.gdoc> .docx, .gslides > .pptx, etc.). Since Box supports Google Workspace filetypes, Box should look to employ the non-public API endpoint that Google offers that can be utilized to export files in their native format without converting them.

3. Set file to read only for users without editing permissions

   Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download, edit files, and keep them personally.

   Since we are giving these users permissions where they can't edit, we want to prevent this behavior by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it, download it, or save it (the file)

4. Allow Save to PDF from Office to point to Box share.

   Users currently use the "Save as Adobe PDF" which I believe is a plugin for Office. It generates a popup window for "Acrobat PDFMaker" which uses the standard Windows Explorer.

   As a result, users need to save to local drive first, then upload to Box. They'd like to save a PDF directly to Box.

5. Lucidchart Enhanced Two-Way Integration

   The current Box + Lucidchart integration is based on the 'More Actions' menu in the Box webapp.

   REQUEST: Work with Lucidchart to extend this integration to a true two-way integration (similar/exactly the same as what Lucidchart already has with Google Drive - https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/google-apps), allowing the user to save to Box from Lucidchart and more.

6. I'm a sole proprietor and need your Business Plus features

   Hello, I'm coming back to our exchange on Twitter from earlier today.

   I was a Box user between 2013-18 when my business started to grow and my Box plan became too limited. Also the branding of my file exchange service became a must.

   Back then I wanted to switch to Business Plus but the minimum of 3 payed users made this way too expensive and also simply unreasonable for me as a one-man show. I exchanged various emails with your support and spoke with your office in Munich about whether it was possible to offer a One User Business Plus account before giving up at some point since the answer was no. I switched to WeTransfer where I soon became a beta user for their current Plus plan.

   I like WeTransfer and had a good relation with their beta team but unfortunately their platform is not always as reliable as it had to be and the features offered still leave a lot to be desired.

   Let me keep this brief for now, do you see a chance to offer a one user Business Plus account, ideally with a 'fair' monthly fee that suits a fairly small business like mine?

   I'm a audio mastering engineer and work with clients around the world around 15 per month, while 4 or 5 of them are regulars. Reliability, ease of use for my clients and speed are crucial for me, so is storage space and branding. I love the idea to offer my clients an app for communication and fast project updates, and in general I'd love to move all project related communication into their dedicated folders.

   I have plenty of colleagues who are 'so/so' happy with WT, Dropbox, G-Drive etc, none of them would hesitate to switch to a much better platform as long as the cost will stay in relation to our income.

   I look forward to hearing from you.

7. Confirmation Dialog for DAdd Confirmation Prompt Before Uploading Files in Box Web torag-and-Drop File Uploads to Prevent Accidental Uploads

   While a similar request has been made for Box Drive, I believe that the same risk of accidental file uploads exists when using Box via the web interface. In particular, there is a concern about the unintended upload of important files to the wrong folder, which could result in information leaks. Unlike bulk operations, even a single mistaken upload of a sensitive file can have serious consequences.

   Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a confirmation message or dialog before uploading files in Box (web version), especially when using drag-and-drop or other upload methods, to help prevent accidental uploads.

   重要ファイルの誤アップロード防止のため、Box Webでファイルアップロード時に確認メッセージを表示してほしい

   Box Driveについては同様の要望がすでに出ていますが、Web版のBoxを利用する場合でも、誤ってファイルをアップロードしてしまうリスクがあると考えています。特に、重要なファイルを誤ったフォルダにアップロードしてしまうことで、情報漏えいにつながる懸念があります。大量の操作ではなくても、機密性の高いファイルを1件誤ってアップロードしただけで深刻な問題となる可能性があります。

   そのため、Box（Web版）でファイルをアップロードする際、特にドラッグ＆ドロップなどの操作時に、アップロード前に確認メッセージやダイアログが表示される機能を追加していただきたいです。

8. Dedicated File Shortcuts without using Bookmarks

   Currently if I want to create a link from one folder to a file or folder stored elsewhere in the system, the recommendation is to use Bookmarks. This method has several disadvantages.

   • First, it requires creating the link on the target file or folder, meaning you need to navigate away from the folder where the bookmark needs to exist.
   • Second, shared links can be removed, disabled, or expired, which would break the bookmark.
   • Third, bookmarks do not work in Box Drive.

   I would suggest a dedicated mechanism within the Box system for creating and maintaining shortcuts, which is independent of the Bookmark system. Such a system would avoid the disadvantages above and provide some extra benefit. For example, if a file is the target of such a shortcut, that relationship could be viewable through an option in the file’s “More Options” menu allowing file owners to see and manage those shortcuts. Additional auditing would also be possible, with information showing who accessed the file from the shortcut.

   The implementation I envision includes a new option in the “New +” menu of the web interface. Selecting this option would open a search dialog where a user could search through their box content directly.

   Upon selecting a file, the user would then be prompted to select “Shortcut Permissions” that determine how other users can interact with the target file.

   If the shortcut creator has Editor permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
   • None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
   • Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file
   • View and Download – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to preview the target file or download a copy of the target file.
   o This is like creating a “can view and download” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark.
   • Edit – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to view, download, and Edit the target file
   o This is like creating a public “Can edit” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark

   If the shortcut creator has “Viewer” or “Viewer Uploader” permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
   • None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
   • Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file
   • View and Download – users who do not already have permission to view the target file are able to preview the target file or download a copy of the target file.
   o This is like creating a “can view and download” shared link and embedding it in a bookmark.

   If the shortcut creator has “Previewer” or “Previewer Uploader” permissions on the target, they would be able to select from the following:
   • None – users who do not already have permission to view the target are unable to use the shortcut
   • Preview Only – users who do not already have permission to view the target are able to open the target in the web-viewer, but not download the file

   Similarly, other users’ interactions will be based on their permission in the folder containing the shortcut.

   If a user is has editor permissions in the folder containing the shortcut a shortcut with “Edit” Shortcut permissions, then they will be able to edit the file.

   If a user has Viewer permissions in the folder containing the shortcut, then they would only have “Viewer” permissions to the target file even if the shortcut creator gave the shortcut “Edit” permissions.

   Finally, if the user already has some level of permission to the target file, and it exceeds the permission of the Shortcut, then that permission level would apply.

   Currently if I want to create a link from one folder to a file or folder stored elsewhere in the system, the recommendation is to use Bookmarks. This method has several disadvantages.

   • First, it requires creating the link on the target file or folder, meaning you need to navigate away from the folder where the bookmark needs to exist.

10. Enable AutoCAD Drawing History Comparison

    Our company is considering moving our AutoCAD files over to Box.com. We put some files on Box as a test run and AutoCAD's Drawing History feature allows us to see the version history of those files. However, there is a tool that is supposed to allow for you to click on that list of past versions and compare one to another but that feature isn't working currently, even though it works on other cloud services like one drive. AutoCAD said its on Box's end since it worked with other cloud services, but Box said they can't guarantee this feature would work and basically just put their hands in the air. Please consider reviewing this and seeing what can be done to address this missing functionality. There are so many benefits that could be had by us putting our CAD on Box, but we keep running into limitations from Box that is holding us back from making that transition.

11. Allow One-Off Reissue of Custom Terms of Service in Box

    If a user ever rejects a custom terms of service, they are not able to access Box or attempt to connect via the collaboration link. It seems that they could try again in 30 days (we have not tested, this is way too long to wait for a time-out).

    The only resolution to allow the single external collaborator to "reset" the ToS and accept them to sign in is to disable and re-enable custom ToS for all users.

    This is a major problem - we should not have to revalidate all ToS for EVERY user to resolve an issue for one user. Resetting the ToS seems to have booted all users out of Box Drive until they re-accept the terms.

    This is a serious disruption for an error that's pretty easy to make. Please allow a way for users who have declined ToS to try again if they've erroneously declined WITHOUT requiring a system wide change for all users.

12. not available offline

    As an admin, Id like to mark some folders as never available offline. We have several folders with several terabytes of data and inadvertently users have started downloading the entire folder.
    One found out when his hard drive was almost full, the other was caught by security looking at the massive downloads. The data is available to all but shouldn't be copied locally.

13. 列幅が狭く、変更を固定できない。The column width is abnormally narrow, and changes cannot be fixed.

    BOXドライブをエクスプローラ上で開いたときにファイル名の欄が異常に狭い状態で表示され、手動で直したり幅を再設定しても自動で狭い幅に戻されてしまいます。非常に使い勝手が悪いです。数年前からある不具合で多くの人が報告しているのに、いまだに修正されていないことにも驚きます。

    When opening BOX Drive in Explorer, the file name column displays abnormally narrow.
    Even if I manually adjust it or reset the width, it automatically reverts to the narrow width. This is extremely inconvenient.
    I'm also surprised that this bug has existed for years, has been reported by many people, and still hasn't been fixed.

14. Upload In The Order We Added Them + Reorder

    I don't understand why Box Drive decided to upload files in a completely random. Say that I add a number of files, then later add another bulk of files, it will start uploading them or a whole random different selection. Why doesn't it upload them in the order I added them (first come, first serve).

    A bonus would be to reorder your uploads, so if some become more of a priority.

15. Save-As limits

    Scenario:
    Using Save As to convert a .csv to excel file.

    When saving to my local drive (even though it is in a Box Sync folder) I maintain the programmatic capability to save the file as a different file type.

    When saving to Box (even though it is the same Box Operations folder) I lose the programmatic capability to save the file as a different file type.

    I do file conversion in excel multiple times a week.

16. I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.

    In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"

    Suggestions from our IT Director:

    Ideally we license Box Shield and it could easily be a policy based on metadata or tagging for certain folders.

    This would probably make the most sense.

    Any folder tagged with #nomove just couldn’t be moved unless it was first untagged on the web interface by an owner, editor or admin.

17. Previewer Uploader Able to Download Files

    When a link is sent with the access level set to "Collaborators Only" a "Previewer Uploader" Collaborator can then open the link from their email and have the option to "Open in App" and the IOS app will give them the opportunity to Download the File. The file can then be uploaded to Google Drive and then viewed on a desktop or mobile device. This basically gives the Previewer Uploader the ability to download the file.

    We prevent this already.

18. Option to Hide Last Update Information on content

    It is overwhelming when trying to find documents because not only are you looking for the name of the document but you have to visually sift through the "Updated on Nov. 16, 2016 by John Smith" under every single file.

    It would be great if Box could either make it an option to hide this (and maybe just hover over the document to see this information) or if it was moved to the right like it is in a regular Shared Drive.

19. Google Doc "share" from google.

    When using V2 of the box integration with google docs, apparently the ability to "share" the document from google itself, was apparently removed (it shows as available at 1:05 of this box video https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators )

    Removing this functionality is not only cumbersome, it creates HUGE potential security issues.

    I would like users in our organization to be able to store these google documents in box, to avoid having to manage multiple file storage systems. For one thing, it is cumbersome and unintuitive to have to go to box to invite a person to collaborate with my google doc. And then for the user to have to go through box and then know to click to edit the file to get to the google doc. That's like having to go through your neighbor's house to get to your own refrigerator.

    But even worse, it creates HUGE potential security issues. In the real world, people often mistakenly invite "collaborators" to the wrong file. EASY to do when busily viewing a list of nearly identical documents in a box folder. OR worse, they invite collaborators to the entire folder and all its subfolders. Potentially CATASTROPHIC depending on the contents of those folders. This kind of thing happens in the real world, no matter how much you train them. Like I was saying above, I don't want users to go through the neighbor's house AT ALL. I just want to give them the soda or whatever I want them to have. which is not related to the neighbor's house at all. They have no business in the neighbor's house at all.

    When a user shares a google document from within the google interface, there is no mistaking which document is being shared. And there is no potential for sharing any other document or a whole directory of documents.
    
    Basically this new version of this integration REMOVES the very collaborative features of google docs, and adds a layer of complexity, along with a potential for massive mistakes ranging from problematic to disastrous.
    This integration as it is now, with regular google "sharing" removed, basically guarantees that we won't use it. There is virtually no upside and HUGE potential downsides.
    
    Honestly, I can't believe google even allowed their own "share" button to be removed from their premium suite of apps.
    
    It's a HUGE security and workflow oversite, done I can only imagine, to force people to go through and see box, even if that causes the previously listed gymnastics and potential debacles. Thus it seems it was done with marketing in mind, rather than a benefit to the users. This was incredibly shortsighted.
    
    As mentioned. We will NOT use this feature as is, for the potential security vulnerabilities alone. Thus the current implementation is driving us AWAY from box. Since we have to use google docs for these use cases.
    
    PLEASE revert the feature to enable the regular "share" functionality in Google apps.

    UPDATE: Actually it's worse than I thought. Just tested between two of my accounts. Since the "sharing" apparently only works by inviting "collaborator" as an editor, the user actually has to CREATE a box account just to edit the google sheet. I mean SERIOUSLY. What a ridiculous marketing move. Definitely will NOT use this integration as it is now. It's pretty much all downside, virtually no upside.
    If you want happy Box users, PLEASE don't do stuff like this. We like it when you HELP us. Not when you use us to be mules to market your platform to our business associates. I'd brag about you MORE (and have) if you just make my life easier. NOT when you do stuff like this. Just put it back the way it was.

    When using the integration, users can now share a Google file directly within the editor, using Box’s sharing modal permissions and settings.

20. 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 instance.
