Ability to control roll-out of Box apps
Right now, updates to apps like Box Drive roll-out in a phased approach without any admin control. That means that I have some users on one version and some on another... and the manual download version is the old version so I can't force-update anyone who is having issues and needs to take advantage to a bug-fix version.
If this is difficult, then just post the current/new version as the manual download - problem solved!

Add Make Available Offline control to Explorer/Finder toolbar
We are pushing our users to start using Drive instead of Sync. Our helpdesk team brought up that they are concerned that the current UI for MFOing content (right click file, click “Make Available Offline”) is not intuitive for end users. They are requesting a button for “MFO“ to be surfaced on the top toolbar of the Windows Explorer window when an item is selected, so that the option is visible without having to right click the item.

Increased accessibility of upload status of a file for visually impaired users
Currently, in Box Drive the only way to check the upload status of a file/folder is to check the folder/file icons. There is currently no way for visually impaired users to check the current status of an upload, or check the status of content being Marked for Offline, since this functionality also relies on the folder/file icons for this information.
Box should consider a solution to this that would better serve visually impaired and blind users

GoogleDrive Regarding file conflicts in
BoxDriveI am aware that there are solutions for file conflicts like the one below, but there are some cases where the above cannot be resolved. (e.g., under a folder with "Hide" enabled).
・Box for Microsoft Office collaborative editing function
=> https://support.box.com/hc/ja/sections/21356589562131
・Use BoxDrive's lock function
=> https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/360061782454I would like Box to consider a feature like Google Drive that allows you to "overwrite" a file in a pop-up when a file conflict occurs.

Embedded Widget wont load on my website if third-party cookies are blocked in the browser
Recent changes by Box have made the embedded Widget I have been using for years useless. None of my clients allow third-party cookies by their browsers. They have been uploading files to me for years but now must "grant access" and approve cookies by Box, sometimes a four-step process to get access via the Widget on my website. Not workable. Will use a One-Drive link to solve, but disappointed. Your support team suggested I send my issue to you.

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…

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!

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 -
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 -
Support for Other Templates and Legacy File Formats
Hi Team,
We are looking for Box Drive and Box Web to support additional Word, Excel, and other office templates and file formats so we can save these into Box.
Currently Box only supports a few modern formats like .docx and .xlsx for word and excel for example, but we are using several other templates and formats as you can see in the screenshot below.
Please consider broader support for other types of files for office going forward.
Thank you.

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…

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 -
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 -
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.

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".

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
