  1. Report on files containing PII

    We would like the ability to run a report which will identify files with PII in our environment, such as social security numbers or credit card numbers. Currently, notification is provided upon upload of the content, and only if the customer has governance and the appropriate content security classifications

  2. 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.

  3. Provide a way to remove duplicate files throughout a folder and all sub folders

    I have a user who copied all the content in multiple folders some how and created duplicate files everywhere in the folder structure. All the duplicate files had a (1) at the end but also had a few files with (email address) at the end as well. Not sure why the (email address) showed up at the end, over the (1).

    Never the less, I need a way as an admin or even a user to search for all duplicate files, within a folder/sub folders, and allow me to find all files with *(1) and provide me the list…

  4. Can't filter search files marked for offline use to unmark quickly and regain HD space.

    NEED ASAP: See file list of marked for "offline use" to quickly/easily unmark to regain HD space. I regularly run low on space locally. Users should have a way for Box to ID files based on cache of local machine—to "unmark all" quickly, AS WELL AS selectively with a list of files marked offline to keep any files "offline available" as needed. A MUST-HAVE feature for managing files, since the whole point of box is file storage and accessibility.

  5. Ability to sync dot-files

    I'm a developer and my projects are synced to box, and I need, when I access my projects on another computer, to retrieve all my files, including my "dot" files (such as .env, .gitignore, .editorconfig, etc.). Only, now "dot" files are not synced, as explained on this page:
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195433. This is a problem, so it would be nice to be able to manually force certain files to sync or to have them automatically sync.

  6. don't show files till all the files are uploaded

    I often send files to coworkers and I dislike that the file is downloadable to them before it's actually fully downloaded to box. This ends up creating a corrupt/ non-workable file for them. Also I think the files should not show up on their end before all the files are completely downloaded, in batch uploads because I will have coworkers then say only some of the files are downloaded and it looks like a mistake when it's just still uploading. Thanks!

  7. Support for .bak files through Box Drive.

    Currently .bak files in Box are not exposed in the Box folder in Explorer, and putting a .bak file in your Box folder will result in a "problem file"

  8. Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.

    Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

  10. Enhance user experience for searching files with tag

    As legal department, we manage contract documents using tag but when we search files filtering with them, user experience is not intuitive when I follow steps described below.

    1. search a keyword filtering with tag
    2. change the keyword on search box
    3. filter for tag set in 1 is reset and disappeared

    Also, we would like to search file filtering with tag without any keywords in the search box as populating keyword is currently a must to start to search unlike Metadata, which is also inconvenient.

  11. Enable selecting files stored in Box directly in File Requests

    Currently, file request links only allow you to upload files from local folders.
    This is convenient if you use Box Drive, but users who rely solely on the browser have to download files from Box and then re-upload them via the file request link.

    I would like the file selection for file requests to allow choosing not only folders on the PC, but also files already stored in Box directly from the browser interface.

    〈ファイルリクエストでBox内ファイルを直接選択可能にしたい〉
    現在、ファイルリクエストリンクでは、ローカルフォルダ内のファイルしかアップロードできません。
    Box Drive を利用している場合は便利ですが、ブラウザのみを利用するユーザーは、いったん Box からファイルをダウンロードしてから、ファイルリクエストリンクへ再度アップロードする必要があります。

    ファイルリクエストでアップロードするファイルの選択時に、PC上のフォルダだけでなく、ブラウザ画面から Box 内に保存されているファイルも直接選べるようにしてほしいです。

  13. Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity

    When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
    However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
    We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.

  14. Bring back previous method of highlighting files

    Having to click on the checkbox to the right of files is FAR less intuitive than being able to click anywhere on the body of the file "line." It was much easier and more efficient to be able to just click and shift/ctrl click to highlight multiple files.

  20. Review files marked for offline

    Allow a user to quickly review all files/folders they have marked for offline use to make sure it's still needed.

    When a user is remote or in the current covid-19 'work from home' doctrine, the ability to have better control over what's being downloaded is more important than ever.
