I want to download all files returned from a search
I am searching for files spread through multiple folders and I want to download all the files that are the result of the search. The only way I've found is to keep scrolling down — again and again — until all the files are displayed, then select all and download.
But, there are a lot of resulting files and the scrolling is going on forever.
Is there a way to just have Box download all the files that fit a search?

Provide direct links for files listed in Problem Items window to the actual files in Box Drive.
When users have a large number of Problem Items (> 10) it can be a pain to find exactly where these Problem Items are. The search function doesn't work well for these files and you can't even copy the name of these files. A direct link to them would be most convenient.

Allow the ability to multi-click print
Currently in Drive (Windows only) you can print straight from Drive using the right click window pane.
What you cannot do, is multi-select and right-click print. You can do this in Windows Explore.

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

Bulk assign metadata attributes to multiple folders/files at one time
We were a previous heavy user of tags and our users enjoyed the ability to assign tags to multiple files at once in the old UI.
Because they have tens of thousands of users deployed, they often have the same attribute needed to be assigned to many files.
7 votesWhile we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.

Being able to search through files by the date the file was created (in the metadata)
A feature I've wanted many times now, and would love to see implemented, is to be able to search through my files with the filter of Date Created (regarding the creation date of the file in its metadata), not just the date of when I uploaded the file.

Select all the files in the folder and easily move or copy them
I need a feature that allows me to select all the files in a folder (or similar features) and easily move or copy them.
Because, when we use "Ctrl + A" to select all the files, it takes a lot of time to load all the items, so it's not possible to actually select all the files in the folder with "Ctrl + A".7 votes -
Prompt users that Hidden/system files will be ignored/deleted.
Unsyncing folders that have ignored items (hidden, system files) will delete the items without prompting users.
Some users had files intentionally marked as Hidden. They lost their files when they unsynced a folder that contained these files.

Adding metadata to files uploaded by Box Forms
When uploading files/content to Box Forms, have the ability to add the metadata attributes captured on the form to the files. And for managed users in the Box account provide the option to add metadata to all files, selected files and/or selected metadata on selected files. Similar to file uploader in Crooze.

Comments should copy over when files are copied from one folder to another
Not sure why this has changed, however, when copying files from one folder to another (inside a parent folder) it would be great if the comments would also copy over. They used to, up until mid-2021. For example, I have files I share for approval in a working project, that I copy into an ASSETS folder after approval

Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view
Enable ability to hide files or folders in my All Files view.
These files and folders would still be searchable via the search bar, but they would be hidden from All Files.
Also include the ability to review all files and folders that I've previously hidden in a separate "Hidden" tab, similar to how there is a "Recents" tab and "Notes" tab.

Box File Request - Limit number of files and/or file type for upload zones
When creating a file request for a folder, we would like to have the ability to limit the number of files able to be uploaded in an upload zone from the standard 500 uploads. It would also be ideal to limit the type of files that are able to be uploaded. For example, if we wanted a customer to upload document x in pdf format, we could use these limitations to ensure they upload in the correct format and all in one file, instead of uploading 20/30 png photos of the document we request. While we can provide guidelines on…

Allow Adobe Bridge to Show BOX Drive Folders/Files (Worked in Previous BOX Version)
With the update to BOX Drive Version 2.24.208, Adobe Bridge no longer shows BOX folders and Files when opening files in the application. In pervious BOX Drive version, Adobe Bridge showed folders/files, just like any other files – either local or in other cloud applications. HUGE inconvenience to workflow. Please reinstate this functionality.

Box Drive path for InDesign linked files
Background:
We’ve moved the location of Box Drive to be outside the username location for our users. This allows for multiple users to work with InDesign , collaborate, and reference the correct asset links without issue. Reference – community.box.com/t5/Deploying-Managing-Box..Issue:
However, if a user hasn’t previously viewed the file in BOX Drive (e.g. ‘downloaded it to force a local sync’) then the linking of the file still breaks. This causes the following issues : when the user opens an InDesign file, they still need to navigate to anywhere from 5 – 50 different file locations in BOX Drive to ‘open/sync/download’…13 votes -
If the access policy restricts download and printing, Excel files cannot be co-edited with MS Excel Online
Excel files cannot be co-edited in MS Excel Online if the access policy restricts downloading and printing.
One of the purposes of using Excel Online is co-editing.
I would like to be able to co-edit in a situation where downloads are restricted.6 votes -
Ability to zip/unzip large files from within Box so transport to/from Box isn't a huge bandwidth or time-consuming issue.
Many folks are requesting or have requested the ability to zip/unzip large files from within Box and being able to view them from within Box so transport to/from Box isn't a huge bandwidth or time-consuming issue. Zipping large files is a must-have in these days of high-resolution images and A/V technology.
32 votesWhile we understand the value of such feature, we are currently focused on improving the upload experience to make the ingestion of media files faster.

Fix Version History for Co-Authored Files
Now that co-authoring is available on Office files (which is a great feature!) version history is paying the price. On files that are edited often, the version history is growing out of control which leads to two primary issues:
1 - Since only the last 100 versions of a file are available, the significant increase in versions caused by co-authoring means you may only have a few days worth of version history instead of months or years of history. Consider more version history and/or the ability to specify on a file how often an "accessible" version is saved for viewing…
