  3. Enhanced Locking Experience on Box Drive for Mac

    With Enhanced Locking on Box Drive now launched for Windows (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063653693-Box-Drive-v2-21-Release-Notes), it'll be great to have the same experience, i.e. opening a file will prompt the user to lock the file and auto-unlock the file when closing the file, for Mac users.

    This way all users, no matter what OS they use, can have the same Enhanced Locking experience when working with files via Box Drive.

  4. Toggle Recents between Modified and Viewed

    Recents can be more useful and efficient if you can view only files you have modified. As it is now, you see everything you viewed (including sometimes a ton of image files that got marked as viewed), and have to scroll through them to find files you have been working on. Modified would be great as the default, and then you could choose to see only those files you recently viewed.

  5. Improved search (not 'search term')

    My hope is to search for "other than ●●" and "NOT ●●"

    My preferred search method is, for example, There are 3 files. The file names are A, B, C.
    I want to enter "not B" in the search. The result is A and C files.
    It is usually called "Not search". (in Japan)

  6. Add image/file preview function via Mac QuickLook feature/Ability to move Box folder to an external drive

    As creative professionals, my colleague and I intended to use Box to share/collaborate. Disappointed to learn that we cannot use Apple's QuickLook feature to quickly peruse our large image libraries nor can we preview documents (Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, etc). This is a feature every creative uses because it enables us to quickly get to what we need without having to open up countless files which takes a lot of time. Additionally, because we cannot preview files, we thought sync'ing our files to our local hard drives would be the answer but I just learned that I cannot move…

  10. Simplify "File Request" window

    I have users on my team still using ShareFile to specifically "request files" from external people because the process is simpler. Three key suggestions for the Box "File request" feature:
    1) Can you streamline the pop-up window to focus on the "link" versus the embed widget link. 2) Expose the option/checkbox of the requestor to receive an email when the content is uploaded.
    3) Allow the requestor to adjust the expiration date. Default would be tied to the admin link share policies

    Thanks!

  11. Favorites: Access Favorites from More than Just the All Files Page

    If favorites really is supposed to be the easiest way to direct to frequently access content, being able to see it on every page in Box (not just on the all files page), at least as a dropdown option, would be really useful.

  12. File-level Collaboration Webhook

    I'd like to create a file-level webhook so that I can take action when a file's collaboration(s) have changed, but unfortunately there is currently no webhook trigger for collaborations on a file. Please add support for COLLABORATION.* webhook triggers on file objects.

    Thanks for the suggestion! We don’t currently plan to add a Webhook event for file-level collaboration events, but if anything changes we will update this suggestion. If you have specific use cases to share, please add them as comments to this suggestion.

  13. Gmail integration

    Hello,
    I am hoping that the Box interface with Gmail will be improved to the level that the interface is with Microsoft Outlook. Outlook can link to multiple files simultaneously, can link to folders, and leaves off with the last searched item. Working within Gmail has slowed down our process with Box significantly. So much so that I choose not to use the interface but grab the link directly from Box. Please advise when this can be updated/improved. Thanks!

  15. Would like to be able to download multiple files without it creating a zip file

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  16. Ability to 'Hide' Folders I've Been Added To

    As a user, I've likely been added to numerous folders that I do not need to access daily or even often, but still need to remain a collaborator in. A 'hide folder' option may help with this, where a user would be able to hide a folder form their All Files view, but the user would not actually be removed as a collaborator from the folder. They would then be able to access all 'hidden' folders via a menu option on the left rail (or elsewhere).

    not planned  ·  Stephanie Zhang responded

    Folder sprawl is an interesting challenge many of us face! To combat this, we’re recommending that users use the upcoming ‘Collections’ feature to group together content that’s frequently used vs. hiding content that’s infrequently used.

  17. We would like to have the ability to receive a notification after uploading a file from a file request link to confirm that the file was upl

    After uploading from the file request link, "File successfully submitted" is displayed, but it is not possible to check which folder the file was uploaded to and when, so it is not possible to determine if the file was actually uploaded correctly.
    Since uploading from a file request link can be done by non-accounted users, it is not practical to check the destination folder, but we would like to see the feature implemented, since receiving a notification would provide evidence that the file was uploaded correctly, as well as the date and time of the upload.

    ファイルリクエストリンクからのアップロード後は「ファイルを正常に送信しました」と表示されますが、
    どのフォルダにいつアップロードされたのか確認することができず、実際に正しくアップロードされているのか判断することができません。
    ファイルリクエストリンクからのアップロードはアカウントを持たないユーザーでも可能であるため、
    アップロード先のフォルダを確認することは現実的ではありませんが、通知を受け取ることで正しくアップロードされたという証跡と日時が確認できるため機能の実現を希望します。

  18. Renaming and moving files/folders: include old and new names and locations in Enterprise Events call

    If renaming or moving a file or folder, Usage Log reports include both the new and old names, and new and old locations. The old location and old name are missing from Enterprise Events via the Content API.

  20. Allow for creation of custom permission levels (roles).

    We want to share files to an external collaborator, but want to restrict the download and allow editing.

    Request: Add new custom roles and assign them preview, link, edit, and they would have to use our Office 365 to modify within Box?
