  2. Add .dwl files to ignored file type list

    Would really appreciate .dwl files (temporary files created by Autodesk apps) being added to the Ignored file type for syncing in Box Drive. Currently .bak files are there which within Autodesk apps we have the ability to repath anyways. With .dwl files, we have no control... they go in the same folder as the file. They are not always deleted as they should be due to Program crashes and end up cluttering the folders needlessly.

  4. Show uploaded files in the recent page.

    Show uploaded files in the recent page.

    I do have cases that I want to view the files I uploaded recently. However, if I uploaded a file without previewing, it doesn't come up the list.

  5. Allow for exceptions on the Download and Print Restriction security control.

    Allow for exceptions on the Download and Print Restriction security control.

    We want to restrict users from downloading files that have been identified as having PII. However, we would like a mechanism to allow users that have a business reason to download files. Either through a 'User Justification' similar to the 'External Collaborators Restriction' security policy or an approval workflow.

  6. Ability to grant Metadata When Uploading Multiple Files in a File Request

    Under the current Box specification (December 10, 2021), when uploading multiple files at the same time using a file request, all files are given the same metadata. To comply with the Electric Book Storage Act, I believe that when users upload multiple files using file requests in Box, metadata must be attached to each file. We strongly hope to add the ability to grant metadata to individual files to file requests.

  8. Add a report that lists metadata set for folders and files.

    There are many metadata templates, and each users can set them.
    In this situation, being able to see in lists what metadatas are actually applied to which files/folders and what values ​​are set can be very helpful in managing contents and metadata.

  9. Accurate display of number of files

    Fixed the problem of inconsistent number of files

    Inconsistencies in the number of files can occur when large amounts of data are owned or moved for business purposes.
    There is a workaround for this in the support page, but it does not work in some cases.
    Even if we can confirm the exact number of items in the report, the size may differ due to data inconsistencies.
    We feel that it is inconvenient for business use to not be able to accurately grasp the number of data.
    Please fix the inconsistency of the number of files.

  10. Ability to see (and if permitted, restore) deleted files

    Box currently does not have the ability to show deleted files in a particular folder. Only the owner and the user who deleted files will see them in Trash but not by folder. With large numbers of files in multiple folders, this becomes quite unmanageable quickly and relying on the folder owner to restore files is unnecessarily restrictive.

    Folders should have an option to see deleted files and if permitted (editor or higher, or a separate permission) allow users other than the owner and the user who deleted files to restore them.

  12. Identify files that fail to sync using Box Sync

    In my experience - Box Sync on Windows 10 - I often run into messages "N files could not be synced" - usually because a Mac user saved a file with a name Windows can't handle. If it's only one file, it tells me the name, but if it's more than one, it only shows the number. I would go into Box to rename the files - however, I cannot find any way to identify the offending one. Would love an option on Box Sync that showed the set of files that are throwing sync errors.

  14. scan .bak files

    For heaven's sake allow box to scan .bak files - it's practically the only reason I'm using box! What's the point of a cloud back up system that won't back up backup files!!

  15. Preview files about xdw, xbd and xct in Box for iOS.

    Please support xdw, xbd and xct files in Box for iOS.

    Box for iOS can preview files supported by Box, such as PDF.
    However, Box for iOS can not preview xdw, xbd and xct files (*1) for the following reasons.

    DocuWorks Viewer Light (iOS) (*2) implements Quick Look Preview Extension.
    Thus, an app can preview xdw, xbd and xct files if the app implements QLPreviewController.
    Although Box for iOS has already implemented QLPreviewController, previewing xdw, xbd and xct files are not supported by Box.

  17. Ability to rearrange the image files displayed on Box Drive and Box Web

    For image files (photos), such as jpg and png files, there is a Date taken item in the "Properties".
    On Box Drive and Box Web, We wants to organize the photos by descending or ascending order based on the Date taken.
    However, since [Box Drive] and [Box Web] do not have the Date taken attribute, files cannot be organized by the date and time they were taken.
    Thus, we would like you to add the Date taken attribute.

  19. Box Reporting - Add name of the Zip file output

    Box Reporting - Add name of the Zip file output to the UAR when numerous files are downloaded simultaneously. This would make tracking the activity of downloads from Box to computer much easier.

  20. Automate quarantining of infected files

    While speaking with Box Premiere Support Team, it was stated that there is no current option/means to automatically place an infected file into quarantine. The file stays available and is up to the Content Owner/Site Admin to manually address the issue.

    It would be nice to have a feature that automatically placed suspicious/infected files in a designated quarantine folder while it is being reviewed. This will eliminate the potential for someone to accidentally download the file and cause potential harm.
