  1. List of Offline Folders in Box Drive

    It would be great to be able to see a list of folders marked for offline availability in Box Drive. We've had a few users who end up accidentally using up too much hard drive space, but can't remember exactly what folders they've marked offline. We end up needing to have them sign out of Box Drive to clear all offline folders, then sign back in and re-mark folders they need.

  2. separate owned file/folders view from all files/folders view

    We need the ability when viewing a users list of files and folders to show only content owned by user. Right now files that have any collaboration at all do not show differently if owned by user or not. Ideally, we could toggle a view filter to show only files/folders owned by user if needed.

  4. Remove large batch of collaborators from a shared folder.

    It would be ideal if you could remove a large batch of collaborators from a shared folder en mass instead of one at a time.

  6. Pop-up message when unintentionally shifting folders

    It is strongly needed to have a pop-up message with Box Drive and Box Sync that allows the user to stop an unintentional shift of folders or files.

    Dear Box customers,

    This feature was delivered in Box Drive v2.42


    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/35422037930643-Box-Drive-release-Notes-2-42

  7. Add folder shared with all people in my company to favorites and collection

    Hi Box Team,

    When I share a folder with all people in my company, then my colleagues can access the folder with the link but they cannot add the folder to their favorites or collections. It would be great if folders shared with people in my company can be added to collections or favorites by my colleagues.

    Regards Nils

  8. Archive folders

    Ability to manually or automatically archive folders that have not been modified for a while. The Archived files are searchable, but don't appear in normal file system (similar to how Gmail's archived emails don't show up in Inbox, but can be searched)

  9. Shared Link Comments

    We share our creative to our clients using shareable links. It would be great if non-box users had the ability to make comments on the files shared. We are switching over from dropbox and that was a feature that we use with our clients on a very regular basis. It gives us the ability to have all of their feedback in one place.

    Please let me know if this is doable. It's top priority for our team :)

    Thank you!

    This feature is not currently planned, but it is a second-priority item for our team. A related feature—the ability to open a file in Box Drive from the web app—is on our roadmap and will be an initial step toward supporting this request. We will keep you posted on updates; please continue upvoting this request, as it helps us prioritize improvements. Thanks for your collaboration.

  11. Alerts when files shared externally

    If a file is shared online, get a notification regarding what is shared and by who.

  12. One-Click shared link generation as Enterprise setting

    The recent change to Box sharing means that you now have up to 3 clicks to get a shared link on your clipboard - click Share, then toggle the link on, then copy to clipboard. This annoys our users, who liked the old way, where clicking Share would automatically generate the link.

    I think this change was motivated by feedback like this, where enterprises that choose to default to People With the Link permission sometimes end up with a lot of accidental open links:
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36114154-add-second-step-when-creating-shared-link-for-a-fo

    (We, on the other hand, default to just "people in this file" permission.)

  14. Align box note shared link experience with file/folder experience

    With Box note there is nor "copy" button, neither "email" button. This is not consistant with shared link for file or folder and requires extract actions

  17. Keyboard Shortcuts - Allow Shift+S to Open Shared Link Modal for Current Folder

    REQUEST: Hitting Shift+S should open the Shared Link pop-up for the current folder when no items are selected.

    not planned  ·  Stephanie Zhang responded

    Interesting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

  18. Automated Folder Actions

    Under Folder Settings -> Automated Actions, the "Unshare this folder on a specific date" option is a little confusing/misleading as it does not indicate that this is only for folders with a Shared Link enabled, and has nothing to do with removing/unsharing collaborations. Recommend the language be updated in this setting, instead of saying "Folder must be shared first" to "Shared Link must be enabled first"

  19. Allow Excel's Shared Workbook feature to work on Box.

    Microsoft Excel has a feature called Shared Workbook that allows multiple users to edit Excel file simultaneously and still migrate each modifications into each others' Excel files.

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/about-the-shared-workbook-feature-49b833c0-873b-48d8-8bf2-c1c59a628534

    Box doesn't support this type of feature, but Google and Dropbox supports to notify users on (Office) file modification status to provide similar feature / user experience.

    While we won’t be building in support for the Shared Workbook feature as requested, we will be providing capabilities in the near-future that will provide more visibility when you open a file that is locked in order to prevent file editing conflicts.

  20. Copy button in Box Notes Shared Link

    When you get a shared link in Box, it automatically copies it and has a "copy" button front and center - would love the same thing for Box Notes.
