  1. Ability to Dismiss Error Messages Not Just Retry

    Error messages show up every morning and there is no way to clear them other than to Retry them. They are legitimate errors where the solution was to do something different, which I did, and my initial issue was resolved. However, these error messages persist, and retrying them will always produce the same error. There is no “dismiss” option. Since retrying them will will always produce the same error, there is no way to get rid of these errors.

    Box Support documentation gives no other option but to Retry. There is nothing listed about clearing messages that cannot be resolved…

  2. Change default view in folders being shared

    Box defaults to showing files via upload date, please allow the ability to select what the default view is, so that it can be set to file name (ie alphabetically).

    When sharing links to folders with clients, files being shown via upload date looks messy and unprofessional and asking the client to change the view on their side isn't an option or a solution.

  4. Display of confirmation message screen to prevent accidental operation of Box Drive

    When using Box Drive, it is common for users to accidentally delete, move, or copy files.

    When manipulating large numbers of files, this failure can lead to serious information leaks and other problems.
    Therefore, it would be helpful to improve functionality such as displaying a confirmation message when deleting, moving, or copying files to better prevent accidental operations.

  5. Box drive for surface pro

    I have the latest surface pro laptop, but it says box drive is not compatible with this device. I use the drive version heavily for work and prefer not use a different content management software. . Surface pro suggested reaching out to box for support. The model features the Snapdragon X plus (10 core)/ X Elite. Can you provide an update that makes the drive compatible?

  6. I want to be able to see my own activity for myself(自分自身のアクティビティーを自分で確認できるようにしたい)

    To be able to look back and correct my own operating history when I realize I have been operating incorrectly.
    Although there is a load on the system, we think it is useful enough to be able to see the past 24 hours.

    (In Japanese)
    自分が操作を誤っていたことに気付いたときに、自分の操作履歴を振り返って正すことができるようにするため。
    システムの負荷もあるが、過去24時間分程度が見れるだけでも十分有用であると考える。

  7. I want to be able to bulk rename files and folders within a specified folder

    Bulk renaming files and folders in a specified Box folder though the web interface is a missing feature.

    It would be helpful to be able to do so, as often clients or projects change name and the "CompanyA - content of the folder" or "ProjectA - content of the folder" names need to be renamed as "CompanyB - content of the folder" or "ProjectB - content of the folder".

    When a company or project folder contains hundreds or thousands of names a string command like "rename text *** to text YYY in al files and folder…

  8. technical support

    How about someone to talk to that can address technical questions. It is almost impossible to get someone to help me with a problem of file transfer and simply opening a file once it is in box.

  9. Display more information in Upload Error message in Box Drive

    It would be helpful to have more information shared in the Upload Error notification that’s displayed for admins when a user tries to upload content to a folder that has run out of storage. It would be helpful for the error message to display information such as account name, email, or login of the user. Currently, if an organization imposes storage quotas for their users, admins will receive this message anytime a user tries to upload content to a full folder. Having more information up front within the error message would save admins time in looking to find who the…

  11. Request: flexibility of the pop up which notify in advance Drive users when moves of large #s of contents at once

    This release is good news for us because we have a lot of Box Drive users.
    https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/35422037930643

    This is additional improvement request,but it is much appreciated for us that Box admin can set #s of contents when the pop-up message is displayed to Drive users. sometimes end-users accidentaly move folders which are many users are collaborated and critical for business. So we want to display the message even if the #s of contents' are smaller than 8000.

  13. Assistance Required for Two-Factor Authentication Setup on Box

    I have received a shared folder invitation from our customer, but I am unable to access the contents because it requires setting up an authentication app.

    When I attempt to proceed with the two-step verification process, I am prompted to scan a QR code and input a 6-digit authentication code. However, I am unsure how to complete this setup and gain access to the shared content.

    Could you please provide me with step-by-step guidance on how to properly set up the authentication app and access the folder?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

  15. Request for additional notification settings for BoxDrive

    Is it possible to add a setting that periodically sends pop-up notifications when something is on hold or when there is a synchronization error? (It would be ideal to be able to select ON/OFF)

  17. Use status field in addition to overlay in Windows File Explorer

    This would allow users to see status icons for each folder and file without relying on the file/folder icon overlays that Windows limitations make problematic. OneDrive uses the status field in addition to overlays. Box should, too.

  18. Allowing BOX to mount a mapped network drive on local system

  19. BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using

    BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.
