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?
39 votesAt this point, there is no short to medium-term plan to extend File Request to accept folder uploads. Please continue to upvote/add feedback so we are able to revisit the prioritization at a later time. Thanks!

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.

Hubs permission model should be more granular
Currently in the Box Hubs Beta, all collaborators invited into a Hub receive the "Viewer" permission on files and folders linked in the Hub. This does not allow for Hub content to be view-only and block downloading of content. Alternative methods of managing this such as rolling out classification policies would not be scalable as Hubs usage grows. It would be great if Hubs collaboration could be more granular and there was an ability to invite users or groups into a Hub with other permissions such as "Previewer" so they are more restricted on what they can do after accessing…

File Request - Display Icon on Folders with File Request Enabled
On the website, much like the icons on/next to folders for Shared Links, Descriptions, or Sync To Desktop, it would be nice to have an icon for folders that have the File Request feature enabled on them. It would greatly assist with being able to easily identify folders that have the feature enabled at first glance. Thank you.

Candidate destinations are not displayed when inviting files to collaborate(Box for iOS)
Box for iPhone/iPad and Box for EMM don't offer suggested recipients when you invite collaborators to a file.
When inviting a collaboration to a folder, a list of possible recipients is displayed. Please do the same in the mentioned app.

Improve to view the status of tasks
As users are currently able to view by icons whether or not shared link is on files and files are locked at a glance in the "file list" view, we would like to view if tasks are done or not at a glance

Ability to update files by pathname
Instead of having to provide a fileId to perform an action on any given file, it would be nice to be able to pass a pathname as an alternative option

Disable background sync of Box Drive (for throttled or metered connections)
See below for link and post in the Box Community.
This feature would allow background syncing to be turned off for Box Drive. Because MFO and caching are stored in a "container" that is only available while Box Drive is running - there is no way to access MFO files while connected to a bandwidth limited internet connection. You either are forced to background sync or not have access to your MFO files.
Disable Box Drive background syncing for low bandwidth connections
I've (mostly) adapted to using Box Drive instead of Box Sync.But a key feature that…

3D/CAD File preview zoom function
<improvement>
Improve zoom/enlargement in 3D file preview functionWith the current 3D file preview function of Box, the display of the 3D model is small, and there is a limit to the distance that can be brought close to the 3D model even when zooming, so I would like to improve.
<Use case>
- BIM/CIM-based 3D CAD data can be easily displayed on a browser, which can be expected to improve communication with relevant parties and productivity.
- The viewer of a CAD maker has high performance and high affinity with CAD data, but it has a large burden such…69 votes -
On Mac, Box Drive has problems opening files after install of Box Tools
I use Box Drive on my Mac. Ever since installing Box Tools, I am having problems opening files. In particular, after a file was recently opened, changed, and closed, the file seems to get "stuck" syncing back to Box. It freezes up and will no longer re-open or finish uploading unless I fully quit Box Drive and restart it. This happens even if I tell it to refresh the folder or wait for an extensive period of time.
I'm not sure why there is no better way to report a bug, but my "idea" is for this bug to…

"File Request Link" report similar to the "Shared Link" report
Would like Org level report on what folders have "File Request Links" very similar to the "Shared Link" report. We need to report on what folders are shared publicly.
