  1. I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files

    Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
    As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages

    ■procedure
     ①Lock the target file
     ②Download the file and update it locally
     ③Upload updated files
     ④Unlock

    ■demerit
     Many steps and cumbersome
     If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.

    Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

  2. Show path of synced files with errors

    Box currently only shows the folder and file name of an element that had an error with syncing but no path. If you have a lot of files and folders it's impossible to find these elements and fix the sync error, especially if a file has a repeatedly used or undescriptive name.
    It doesn't work to search the box folder on Mac and I can't search files that haven't been synced yet in the web interface, so at least the pathname should be displayed, so I can find the affected file locally.

  5. We would like to be able to preview files encrypted with Microsoft MIP from Box./Microsoft MIP

    We would like to be able to preview files encrypted with Microsoft MIP from Box.
    Because it is not supported by the current MIP integrator.
    Microsoft MIPで暗号化されたファイルをBox上からプレビュー出来るようにしてほしい。
    現在のMIP統合機能でサポートされていないため。

  6. Allow selecting multiple folders in Folders & Files Report, instead of one folder

    When reports are required for tens or hundreds of separate folders, it'd be unrealistic to run reports one by one separately.

  7. Add verification question when moving files in Box Drive using File Explorer

    In the web box.com environment moving folders or files is verified with a question. This is not the case using Box Drive and moiving files or folders using File Explorer.

    A similar question as in box.com and if you delete files in Files Explorer should have been added for moving files in Box Drive. By accident root folder containing hundreds of GB may be moved and hidden into subfolders causing severe problems.

  8. Box Drive - All files organization

    Box Drive does not currently allow for organization of your All Files folder.

    To reorganize or move folders on this screen, it actively moves the folders, which isn't always possible. Due to different staff members requiring access to only portions of each folder, we cannot bunch together certain folders that would otherwise belong together.

    For the all files screen, Box should implement a way to label and organize folders for your own personal box, that does not affect where the files are located and how they are shared. There is a way to do this with the collections list on…

  9. Show classification of files in Box Drive

    We use Classifications to indicate restrictions on who a file can be shared with, e.g. confidential information supplied by third party that cannot be shared with other parties involved in a project. While classification is displayed within Box, there is no indication of the restriction if the file is accessed through Box Drive which could lead to unauthorized disclosure.

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  10. Box Drive - Prompt Users to Lock Files When Opening Files from Box Drive

    For Box Drive, it would be nice to have the option to lock files when you take them offline. For example, when a you choose "Make Available Offline", Box could prompt you with "Do you want to lock these offline files?" So, you remember to lock the files while you still have online access to the them.

  11. Warning before deleting files or folders

    Before deleting files and folders, there should be a warning, so you don't accidentally delete a file or folder you didn't mean to.

  12. Multiple markup, and Single comment, on annotation

    If we only need to write a comment in one place after multiple markups for annotation, the work will go faster.

    When annotating the same requirement in multiple places, the same annotation is currently marked up in multiple places and the same content is written multiple times.

  13. Generating/Copying-to-clipboard multiple shared links at once through file explorer

    Egnyte, one of Box's competitors, gives users the ability to select multiple documents in file explorer to then generate their respective shared links all at once. These links (and the document titles) are then copied to the clipboard and can thus be easily distributed.

  14. Print in Preview Mode when using web-based Box

    It would be a game changer if Box added in the ability to print documents directly from the preview view while using the browser version of Box. It is very time consuming and labor intensive to have to open each document in their native application to print them. If we could instead print documents directly from the preview mode in the browser, it would make things much easier.

  15. Folders and Files Report - Include Subfolders

    When you run the Folders and Files Report, and you filter down to run the report on a specific folder, you are unable to select the subfolders within that folder. This really limits the functionality of this report.

    I request that you add the "Include Subfolders" toggle to the Folders and Files report (just as it exists in the User Activity Report)

  16. Automatically transfer files based on the file's last modified date

    Desired: A tool that, based on last modified date, (automatically) transfers files to Box before or after a certain date.

    Currently: Users have to manually sort files by last modified date and select files to transfer to Box. For automatic batch transfers from personal machines or file servers, users would have to use a time-based job scheduler tool in conjunction with an FTP client.

  17. Shift Click select for multiple files in Box App

    In an ordinary folder in Box, you are able to select one document using the 'cube' and hold shift on your keyboard and select another document down the list and it will auto select everything in-between.

    This functionality is not present in Box Apps. Adding this functionality would make it quicker and easier to edit metadata and download documents from a subset of an app view as well as unify behavior between Box Apps and the rest of the Box Web App.

  18. split PST files

    I have a large PST file in Outlook that’s becoming difficult to manage due to its size and also difficult to handle as well as. That’s why i would like to split them into smaller, more manageable files to improve performance and avoid any kinds of issue.

    Can anyone recommend the best way to safely split a PST file without losing any data? Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:

    Are any reliable third-party utilities that can help split large PST files or should I go for manual method?

  20. Allow Pin Feature to files

    Allow a Pin Feature to allow the user to fully customize filing. Make it possible to pin a file(s) in a folder so it will not move in a numerical or alphabetical order but in the order that works for your company or organization.
