  1. Box Drive updates should preserve Mac Finder Favorites

    I use Favorites in Finder on my Mac to mark folders that I need to access frequently. But, when Box Drive runs and update, my Favorites are all removed. I then need to take time to reestablish all of my favorites. Box Drive should preserve the links in Favorites. This is especially true since Box Drive does not show the favorites marked it the Box webapp.

  4. Exclude file movement in Box Drive from Box shield's anomalous download detection

    When I move a folder with multiple files stored in Box Drive, Box Shield's anomalous download detection works.
    Since the purpose of the detection of anomalous download is to detect downloads that are taken out of the system, this specification is not the behavior we are looking for.
    Therefore, I would like to see Box Shield exclude moving files in Box Drive from the detection of anomalous download.

    In Japanese:
    Box Driveで複数ファイルが格納されているフォルダを移動すると、Box Shieldの「異常なダウンロード」検知が動作してしまいます。
    異常なダウンロード検知の目的は、ダウンロードによる持ち出しの検知なので、この仕様は求めている動作ではないです。
    そのため、Box Driveの移動はBox Shieldの異常なダウンロード検知の対象外にしてほしいです。

  5. Allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups

    I have found it inconvenient that Box Drive can only be enabled or disabled for all users uniformly.

    I believe that allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups would provide more flexible operation. Implementing this feature could enhance security and operational efficiency. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.

  6. 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 was…

  7. Change Box Drive Storage Location

    I want to be able to move the storage location of Box Drive to something other than the C drive. The space is limiting. Most days accessing data from Box is not an issue but on days the internet goes down at the office or there is a power outage all work comes to a halt without access to files. I can't make all of my files available offline with Box Drive storing to the C drive. It would be nice to be able to have all of my files available in case of unforeseen circumstances. I would also be…

  8. File appearing in Recent files after upload to box drive

    Very often, I create a file through an app into Box Drive and I'd like to see it directly into my Recent files in Box drive, that would be helpful.

  9. Cannot use Microsoft explorer search function for Box Drive

    I cannot use the Microsoft explorer search function to select all the pictures stored offline in my box Drive directory under several sub directories using *.jpg function. I use Box to save a back up of my picture files. The only solution was to duplicate a separate directory with the sub directories of all the picture files in my hard drive and use *.jpg to select the pictures to play in the slide slow. This problem is NOT there for Drop Box or Mega directories where Microsoft explorer search function works fine. The native Box search function cannot be used…

  10. Enhancing MIP Integration: Applying DLP Policy Controls to Box Drive Access

    We use Microsoft's MIP integration (DLP policy application).
    Currently, DLP policy controls are not applied when opening from Box Drive.
    This makes MIP integration pointless and poses security problems.
    It is desirable for DLP policy controls to be applied even when opening from Box Drive.

    <MIP 統合の強化: Box Drive アクセスへの DLP ポリシー制御の適用>

    Microsoft社のMIP連携(DLPポリシー適用)を利用しています。
    現在の仕様では、Box Drive から開く場合には、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されません。
    これでは、MIP連携を利用している意味がなく、セキュリティの観点で問題があります。
    Box Drive から開く場合にも、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されるのが望ましいです。

  11. Make Box Tags visible in Box Drive (on Windows)

    We have used Tags extensively to categorise content in Box, it would be great now that we have moved to Box Drive that these are visible against the folders displayed in here too.

  12. Enhance file storage location for Box Drive

    Having files stored in a hidden user cache folder is a very bad design. Leave them in the folder where they "physically" are, instead, just as Box sync, Dropbox, Mega, and others do.

    Plus, let me choose where the app installs in and which folders I want to keep synced. As is it now, Box Drive has a needlessly redundant mechanic, eats up space on the system drive, and give no control to users.

    I uninstall the app until these problems are addressed.

  13. I want to hide [Download Box Drive] from the account icon menu.

    When users click the account icon, an item labeled “Download Box Drive” is displayed.
    Our company prohibits the use of Box Drive in order to promote the use of the Box web application, so having this item displayed causes significant inconvenience. It also results in an increase in inquiries to our support desk.
    We would like the Admin Console to provide an option to show or hide “Download Box Drive.”

    (日本語)
    ユーザーがアカウントアイコンをクリックすると [Box Driveをダウンロード] という項目が表示されます。
    当社ではBox Webアプリの利用を推進するため、Box Driveの利用を禁止しており、この項目が表示されると非常に困ります。結果として、サポート窓口への問い合わせ増加にもつながっています。
    管理コンソールから、[Box Driveをダウンロード] の表示/非表示を切り替えられるようにしてほしいです。

  14. Manage Box Drive folders that sync with the Box.com - I have to uninstall Box Drive from all of my devices

    Because I cannot select which folders to sync from Box.com, I cannot use Box Drive which makes going back to One Drive extremely appealing.

    This seems like such basic functionality and it's very disappointing that Box didn't provide it - and actually took it away when moving from Box Sync.

    My idea is for Box Drive to provide the same basic functionality that Box Sync had and One Drive and Google Drive and Dropbox have.

    existing feature  ·  Anonymous responded

    Box Drive will silently update without user interaction if an update is available when the user launches Box Drive (such as after they reboot their machine)

  16. Share files externally Box Drive

    Allow the 'People with the link' option to be available directly in Box Drive when sharing files externally, so users don't need to switch to the Box Web App.

  17. Granular caching ability for Box Drive

    Right now, Box Drive pre-caches any content within a folder as it’s accessed. This can create an issue if there is a large file (~1 GB Executable) in the folder on Box which causes the native file explorer to hang.

    We would like granular caching ability for Box Drive to set a file size so that not everything needs to be pre-cached.

    As some commenters noted, files are not cached automatically when users access a folder. Rather, the metadata on the files within a folder get cached. Files themselves will only be cached/downloaded if a user double-clicks on them.

  18. Ability to open a file in Box Drive from a shared link accessed via the web

    After opening a shared link in Web App, a user should be able to open the file directly in Box Drive.

  20. Request to have webapp type filters when searching Box Drive on the desktop.

    We would like to transition to Box Drive and having search filters in the Box Drive search bar would be helpful in finding files and as a stopgap for OS search.
