  1. Suffix Match on titles (a form of Wildcard Search)

    We need this feature for legal eDiscovery purposes.

    We were doing some file name search testing, and we found some odd results based on our filename searches.

    If the filename was alphaomega and we tried searching for omega the search does not pull up any results, but searching alpha does pull up the alphaomega files.

    Thank you for the feedback. We have noted this feature request and understand the value of this feature. Unfortunately, it is not on the current roadmap.

  2. Create Shortcuts to Other Folders within Box

    We would love to be able to create shortcuts to other related files within files in Box on the web. For an example, in windows file explorer, you can create a shortcut from someone's individual file and someone's business file.

  3. Be able to default a sort method

    Currently you can change the sort method from alphabetical to updated date or size, but there's no way to change the default order from updated. Most of my files I prefer alphabetical so it's inconvenient to have to click it every time

  4. Ability to save search filter conditions

    I would appreciate if the previous settings for contents filters could be saved so that I can call and use it when searching items with similar criteria.
    Frequently using the same condition to search files, so I think it could improve the work efficiency to use saved filter settings.

  6. Box Drive Bandwidth Usage - Can I pause or limit?

    "Every time my Box Drive is syncing large (200-500mb) files, it uses as much bandwidth as it can. While in the office, this was rarely an issue. But, working from home, the rest of my household notices very slow internet while I am syncing files. "

    Please add a feature that allows us to limit the bandwidth of Box Drive.

  7. Support Markdown tags in Box Notes.

    We want to be able to use Markdown tags in Box Notes. On a side note, Preview for MD files currently does not support UTF-8. Supporting Markdown in Box Notes will help as a workaround.

  9. Copy API to allow copying files from a managed users account to the admin account of the caller

    There is no API action to copy or download files that is invisible from the user who owns the content. When copying files, there is no way to copy the files from a users account to the admin account (so that the copy of these files can then be reviewed and downloaded by compliance teams without creating access stats on the original file).

    An alternative was to directly download the files from the users account however there is no way to not create access stats when doing so.

    I am therefore suggesting the download endpoint have an added input…

  10. Add Linux to Web app QA process

    The web app UX is horrible on Linux. It's not just one bug, but dozens of bugs that affect Linux and ChromeOS users.

    Examples:
    - Downloading a Docx will prompt you to open with Word instead
    - Clicking Open will prompt you to install Box Tools
    - Clicking install Box Tools will download an EXE file

    All of these are completely irrelevant and an annoying hurdle for Linux users. Box Tools for linux doesn't exist. Linux Users can't run EXE files. Open With Word doesn't make ANY sense, as Word doesn't exist for Linux.

    Please fix.

  11. file request with BVE

    Currently we are using BVE and have a firewall setting to block the normal app.box.com.
    When our group/subsidiary companies try to upload a file through file request, since the link URL is https://upload.app.box.com, they cannot upload a file via file request.
    It would be great if we can make a file request link that is BVE so the URL is https://upload.ent.box.com.

  12. Force Box Drive to sync status with Box every time file is touched .

    for example: User A locks a file, User B opens the file in drive (the lock status still hasn’t sync’d down user’s machine yet)
    User B edits the file and tries to save but Drive will show that it wasn’t able to save back the change to box and creates a problematic file.
    User B closes the file, and then reopens the file. The change User B made still shows up.
    Onedrive checks for the latest status every time it opens a file or when you try to save a file it will sync status with what is in the…

  19. Show Date Uploaded, instead of Date Created for new files in Box Drive

    Right now, when a file is uploaded to Box, the dated modified date shows the date the file was uploaded however, on Box Drive the date modified is the date the file was created.

    We would like to see the date the file was uploaded on Box Drive, as it appears on the webapp.

  20. Allow folders to be uploaded with File Request

    File Request is a helpful feature, but often isn't useful as most external parties want to share folders (including sub folders) of documents with us. Can a feature be added to allow folders to be shared as part of File Request - perhaps renamed to Folder/File Request?
