1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

   It seems customers have been clamoring for this feature for years. It would bring tremendous value to your service.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Allow users the ability to make content (mostly video) available offline on the mobile app while also not allowing download permissions acro

   Allow users the ability to make content (mostly video) available offline on the mobile app while also not allowing download permissions across the browser, Drive, etc. Something similar to Netflix, which allows shows to be viewable offline on the app with no downloading on other devices.

   The reason for the use case is that executives will review confidential trailers on their phone/tablet. They need the ability to review the content even if the internet is spotty. But we need to restrict the ability to download a copy to prevent exfiltration of sensitive content.

9. I cannot use the box application the same way I use my macpro server or windows server drives.

   Would be nice on enterprise files that you allow me to use BOX in the same way I use MacPro or windows server application. Limiting my files and the speed they can use has pushed me to go to AWS and use it natively - ie not use your application because I cannot backup my VMWARE fusion files.

10. Option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when clicked on shared links

    I would like the option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when my client clicked on my shared links. This pop-up window confuses them and leading them to think they must Sign Up or Log in in order for them to view and download my shared documents.

    If my client like your product structure, I am sure they will sign up for an account themselves without the need to prompt them every time. This effect my business as I have received many complains about this window. They recommend for me to use other methods.

    I like your product and would like to continue my business with you. However, if this simple window is driving my customers away, I might have to reconsider my method of contents sharing.

    Thank you.

11. Invite Collabs Pop-Up: Add Optional 'Send notification?' Checkbox

    Currently in Box, when a user uses the Invite Collaborators pop-up to invite someone to a folder, an invitation email is always generated for the recipient. This is good in some scenarios, but creates a lot of email noise in many other situations where the inviter really doesn't want the recipient to receive an email notification.

    Google Drive provides a 'Notify user?' checkbox on their 'invite' pop-up that allows you to 'silently' add the recipient to a folder without sending them an email notification.

    Request: Add 'notify users?' checkbox to the invite collabs pop-up

    This is not currently planned for development. We will consider this with additional customer demand.

12. Add more details in device trust logs

    If device trust is checking for a setting (for example OS version), then the logs should show the actual version detected. This should be for every setting Box enables you to validate. It should also have more detail about the login attempt (hostname (not just IP address), OS, Box Drive vs Box web vs etc).

    Further there should be a new event in the logs, DEVICETRUSTCHECKPASSED, with similar details so that we know the check happened and what values Box found when authorizing the device. Only having DEVICETRUSTCHECKFAILED provides no audit trail for showing the when the device trust check is being enforced.

13. My folder has disappeared on 25th Feb

14. Password reset process is cumbersome

    Even with the understanding that my specific situation might add a few steps, it is significantly longer and more involved than the analogous process for any other product, tool, or service that I use. I have described the steps that I have to go through and would encourage the Box Developers and UX Teams to consider a more seamless way to do this in some future release.

    Reset Password – Box Drive
    Key:
    - = optional step, performed for positive validation that the new password was accepted
    + = step that is specific to my setup

    1. At Windows/Domain login, notification appears stating that I am “no longer connected” to Box and should log in again. Note that no indication is given as to why this is, but in practice, I have learned that this means that the password has expired.
    2. 2. I generally log in anyway to confirm this. Logging in generates a prompt for the MFA code, which I obtain and enter. At that point, I am told that my password has expired and I am directed to log in to the web site to reset it.
    3. I log in to the web site. I am again prompted for my MFA code, which I retrieve and enter. I am then notified that my password has expired, and I am asked to enter my email address – the same address that I just used to log in – in order to receive a reset prompt. I do so.
    4. I check my email program for the message and click on the link provided; I am returned to my browser at the Password Reset form/page
    5. At the web site, I enter my new password
    6. 6. I log in to the web site, using my new password, to confirm that it has been accepted and that LastPass has correctly saved the new value. I am again prompted for my MFA code
    7. I log in to the app using my new password and another MFA code
    8. 8. In my specific setup, I then launch my virtual desktop (AWS WorkSpace), which also has Box installed. I see the same “You are not connected to Box” message, but this time I am able to simply log in to the app with my new password. Once more – fifth time – I am prompted for an MFA code

    The entire process takes several minutes, and can take up to ten, depending on optional steps, latency in receiving the email or MFA codes, etc. It requires that I log in to either the app or the web site a minimum of three times, and as many as five in my particular scenario. Honestly, I have an easier time resetting my bank’s online credentials, or reporting that my credit card was lost and getting a new one. As an IT professional myself, I completely understand the need for security, and I appreciate the availability of options in the process, but I am sure that this can be made at least a little less cumbersome. Would you at least take a look at it? Thanks!

15. sync to a RAID

    Our global video team need a cloud solution that can be saved to our external RAIDs. We need to store and access TB's of footage. Desktop hard drives are no large enough.

    We could potentially use the older 'Box sync', but we understand that it is due to be phased out, and it does not support selective offline/online syncing, which we need.

16. Remove "Global Share" and "Personal" folders

    The additional folders make data retrieval, data organization and data sharing more cumbersome. It ultimately hinders the digital transformation initiative as other, more traditional tools, are not subjected to the additional folder structure. Shared Drives and SharePoint for example have no segregated folders, simply one place where data is shared and data organization is determined by the end users. Also, the security notification may be handled with a simple notification banner instead as is the case on SharePoint.

17. support editing of Open Office .odt, ods, and .odp files in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides

    I'm asking for Box not to block certain file compatibility functionality that is aIready within Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, when not used through Box. I would like to edit Open Office Formats .odt , .odp, and .ods files, preferably from with Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets respectively. MS Word does not support Open Office formats, otherwise I would request that as well. Somehow, Box is blocking Google Sheets and Docs from opening their Open Office file formats (.ods, .odp and .odt). Normally, Google Docs can open .odt files, if Box is not "in the way". See attached images of Google Docs successfully opening a .odt file, for example. I don't think that being able to edit files from Box preview, in general, for any type of file, is a good idea, based on other how other Box preview edit functionality has turned out. I hope this helps clarify what I'm looking for.

    Here is a video if how an Open Office Doc file currently is handled by Box (I want to edit in Google Docs): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TyQwp9RhrzkDVVDkD08bNFtLu0V7-sEm/view?usp=sharing

    Here is a video if how it should work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DwNhYpgc28k1sD5-FVdj-ST4W2TcYhM2/view?usp=sharing

    Thank you!

18. I'd like to be able to set the e-mail address for uploads to box folders

    My team uses Box to allow students in our training courses to upload some of their code for review at a later time. One of the indispensable features has been the ability for these students to e-mail their code to Box, which alleviates many of the security concerns our clients have re: thumb drives, etc.

    The one issue at this point is that when allowing e-mails to a Box folder, the e-mail address name is auto-genrated. I have no problem with this in theory, but in practice it results in typos, missed e-mails, and re-work.

    I would love for either:

    • The ability of the folder owner to modify the e-mail adress for the folder (assuming a name is not taken), or
    • The auto-generated folder to include the folder name and a small unique key at the the end. This would allow the auto-generated name to be largely sensical which wold help my students enter the information.

    Thanks for your consideration!

19. wrap long file names in the main UI. restore old namewrap UI feature.

    I've noticed where other folks have suggested similar ideas and been told to use the BOX UI to create their own version. Not sure what the big deal is. we dont have programmers on staff but if you enlarge the font for a disabled person even short file names become too large to fit on the UI. I think even if long filenames is LOW probability, it occurs enuf to consider offering it. Practically every filename we have is too long so it drives us nuts. Video filenames are the worst because of a zillion versions. Can you imagine a unix system with a filename window like this. The naming convention allows for a gazillion characters but the window does not. Why make a window that doesn't follow the conventions of the protocols maximum abilities underneath.

    End users finally in this day and age can make as long a filenames as they want but now we can't read them without hovering over every last one. hover, hover, hover, no wait what was that one named, rehover again. its quite maddening at times.

    Please reconsider restoring the namewrap from the old UI as an OPTION people can use if the so choose. If they like to hover, let them hover otherwise let it wrap. Think like a NONprogrammer. Using the Box UI is no easier than telling me to rebuild my car engine and I dont even own a socket wrench. you already wrote the code once before, please restore it as an option.

    not planned  ·  Adminvmaker (Product Manager, Box) responded

    This is not planned.

    We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.
