   Thank you for the feedback. Adding a Box Notes client for Linux it is not aligned with our prioritization for the year, but we will let you know if anything changes.

2. Add Linux to Web app QA process

   The web app UX is horrible on Linux. It's not just one bug, but dozens of bugs that affect Linux and ChromeOS users.

   Examples:
   - Downloading a Docx will prompt you to open with Word instead
   - Clicking Open will prompt you to install Box Tools
   - Clicking install Box Tools will download an EXE file

   All of these are completely irrelevant and an annoying hurdle for Linux users. Box Tools for linux doesn't exist. Linux Users can't run EXE files. Open With Word doesn't make ANY sense, as Word doesn't exist for Linux.

   Please fix.

   Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we do not have plans to add support for Linux to the web app at this time. We’ll continue to monitor this thread to gauge interest, and will post updates should our plans change in the future.

3. Linux version of Box Sync

   I'd really like to have help keeping files synchronized between my Linux and Windows workstations. Linux Box Sync would be great.

5. Instructions for installing cli on Linux

   Why don't you at least include some guidance on https://developer.box.com/docs/box-cli regarding where to start if you are using Linux? I have been unable to effectively use my box account since the webdav support ended, and every so often take another stab at it. It would be nice if this page at least pointed to the best resources for installing on Linux, rather than just giving a link to the download pages.

   Even though this is an old request, we want to make sure you have been informed about the Linux CLI instructions update.

   
   

   The CLI installation for Linux is available at CLI quick start guide

6. Please add Linux to the support for Box.

   【Background】
   As we use many Linux servers, the total size of the log files is also large.
   Please add Linux as supported, as we want to save the log files stored on the Linux server to the Box.

   【Request】
   Box does not support Linux.
   In the past it was possible to access the Box via WebDAV, but this is no longer supported.
   Please add Linux to the support for Box.
   It would be preferable if it could be mounted like WebDav.
   If the folder on the Box can be mounted on Linux, the application can simply change the specification of the directory as a destination for the data, without being aware of it.

   【背景】
   多くのLinixサーバーを利用しており、そのログファイルの総サイズも小さくありません。
   Linuxサーバに保存されているログファイルをBoxに保存したいので、Linuxをサポートとして追加してください。

   【ご要望】
   BoxはLinuxをサポートしていません。
   過去にはWebDAVによりBoxへアクセス可能でしたが、現在はWebDAVの利用もサポートされていません。
   BoxのサポートにLinuxを追加してほしい。
   WebDavのようにマウントできることが理想です。
   Box上のフォルダがLinuxでマウントできれば、アプリケーション側では意識することなく、ディレクトリの指定を変えるだけで、データの保存先として指定できると思います。

7. Allow the use of Linux devices as approved devices.

   We had Linux based user using Box web console and as of the July update, they are no longer able to access Box. I would like to see Linx OS be added to the approved Operating Systems list in the Admin Console for enterprise settings.

    Thanks for your feedback. We unfortunately don't have plans to support a Linux client for Box Drive at this time.

11. Provide a sync client for Linux - like Dropbox, Nextcloud etc has.

    When logging in to the shared area I've been invited to, I get a pop-up telling me to complete my set up by downloading the sync-client. But, there is no sync client for Linux to be found, at the download page.

12. Provide a FUSE (Filesystem in userspace) handler for Box Linux and other *nix support

    Linux, and other operating systems, have a mechanism for vendors to provide transparent filesystem access to esoteric file storage mechanisms in userspace, without the need to write a kernel module using "FUSE" (Filesystem in Userspace).

    Box would only need to write a FUSE handler, and then that'd open up access to a lot of *nixes.

14. Add support for File name sensitivity

    Box currently doesn’t support the notion of file sensitive file and directory names like Linux does, so backups to Box, for example with rclone, lose similarly named files that only vary in case.

    For example, you can only have File1.txt and file1.txt, but no both in Box.

    In comparison, there’s no such limitation in Google Drive and Linux file systems, for example.

    Please add support for file name sensitivity.

17. git-like ‘RAW’ mode for Box Notes

    When I have a Boxnote with a trailing backslash (’\’) a copy-and-paste into an xterm (Linux X11, Mac OS Xquartz), it converts the backslash to a control character.

    When I copy a Boxnote with a backslash I get the following:

    “”“

    !/bin/env bash

    echo “Hello World!” \
    <A0>“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
    “”“

    And the string ‘<A0>’ is highlighted.

    It appears to me that Boxnote is interpreting a backslash at the end of a line as a ‘backslash<A0>’ when copy-pasted into an Xterm using vim. I tested the placement by putting a backslash in the middle and it did not make any alterations.

    I attempted to use a backslash-space-at-the-end to see how that would work. I received:

    “”“
    echo “ “ <A0>
    <A0>“blah”
    “”“

    For grins I tested in Mac OS Terminal; it does not have the same issues as XQuartz (X11) Xterm. However, I want to copy-and-paste into a Xterm session to a remote server.

18. Ability to perform file operation through directory command prompt

    File operation by operating by command prompt.
    Is there any way to operate the files and metadatas from the pointed directory?
    As far as I heard from SE, the answer was "no".
    For example, extract all the metadata in each filed from the pointed filename expantion and from the pointed directory by one command.
    It will be great if we could use this Box Drive by operating like linux or command prompt.

19. Meine Daten herunterladen

    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

    Wie so gibt es bei Box keine Möglichkeit alle Daten zu markieren zum Herrenunterladen?

    Nach der europäischen Verordnung und dem Deutschen Recht sind Sie dazu verpflichtet ohne noch mehr Abkassieren zu müssen.
    
    Sollten Sie diesen Butten nicht einführen werde ich Anwälte dafür beauftragen die Bürger der Bundesrepublik und der Europäischen Union das Recht bekommen!
    Denn was Sie hier betreiben geht so überhaupt nicht und werde ich so nicht dulden.
    Von daher bitte ich sie Höflichst darum einen Butten zu setzen so das man auch die Möglichkeit hat Daten herunterzuladen und das nicht nur mit Windows, sondern anderen Systemen.
    Da ich persönlich Linux nutze und bestimmt nicht für Box meine Gepflogenheiten ändern werde.
    Von daher bitte ich darum hier eine Möglichkeit in der Form anzubieten den sonst werde ich meine Advokat als Anwalts Lieblingskarte einsetzen.

    Auch möchte ich Sie Höflichst darauf hinweisen, dass ich keinen Klick zwang hier haben möchte, um mich bei Ihnen zu melden und gleichzeitig noch andere in meiner Datenwolke sprich bei Ihnen herumschnüffeln zu lassen.
    Das wird auf jeden Fall Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Denn das hat aufzuhören. Dafür werden die Anwälte sorgen
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen

    Andreas Plassmann

20. I want Japanese mark of a voiced sound in speech characters to be unified with NFC.

    I want Japanese mark of a voiced sound in speech characters to be unified with NFC.

    -Overview-
    example: the 'ga' syllabary series in the Japanese alphabet
    'ガ'is U+30AC on windows or unix/linux
    -> NFC(Normalization Form Canonical Compression)
    'ガ'is U+30AB U+3099U on mac OSX
    -> NFD(Normalization Form Canonical Decompression)

    As you know, mac OSX　use only NFD.
    Windows use NFC usually, but NFD can be used at the same time.

    When trying to share BOX folder between Win and mac, Inconvenience occurs.

    -problem-
    First
    In Windows explorer, NFC and NFD are displayed as the same character on the screen, so they are indistinguishable.

    The second
    In Adobe InDesign, image files are managed as "link files", but file names are managed by NFC, so upload InDesign data created on mac OS to the shared BOX folder and download it on Windows. Cutting file link will occur.

    The third
    Where NFC uses one character in UTF-8, NFD uses two characters in UTF-8.
    The file "がぎぐげござじずぜぞだぢづでどばびぶべぼぱぴぷぺぽガギグゲゴザジズゼゾダヂヅデドバビブベボパピプペポヴ.txt" can be used on macOSX, but this file cannot be saved on the BOX server by Finder using BOX Drive.
    Even if two characters are used, "xx.txt" uses only 106 characters.
    And from Windows PC,
    The file "がぎぐげござじずぜぞだぢづでどばびぶべぼぱぴぷぺぽガギグゲゴザジズゼゾダヂヅデドバビブベボパピプペポヴ.txt" (By NFC) there will be no problem with BOX Drive.
    But, with macOS X / Box Drive, the inside of the BOX server is not displayed in the Finder.
    "がぎぐげござじずぜぞだぢづでどばびぶべぼぱぴぷぺぽガギグゲゴザジズゼゾダヂヅデドバビブベボパピプペポヴ.txt"(By NFC) uses only 55 characters in NFC.
    Are you having another problem?

    -Operation on mac OSX-
    When writing to a FAT32 formatted USB memory device on mac OSX, write the file name using NFC.

    When uploading data to a shared folder using the cifs protocol on mac OSX, write the file name in NFC format.

    When uploading data to a shared folder using the AFP protocol on mac OSX, write the file name in NFC format.

    On mac OSX, write file name in NFD format only when writing data to HFS+ format HDD.

    mac OSX does not accept any NFC on HFS+, and NFC automatically converts to NFD when downloading data from the BOX server.

    -Proposal-
    When writing data to the BOX server using BOX Drive for MacOS, please convert it to NFC instead of NFD and write the data.

    When uploading to the BOX server, no one will be troubled even if it is converted to NFC instead of NFD and saved. Inconvenience has occurred rather than being saved as NFD.

    -Additional explanation-

    mark of a voiced sound in speech characters is below.

    がぎぐげご
    ざじずぜぞ
    だぢづでど
    ばびぶべぼ
    ぱぴぷぺぽ
