Allow Custom Terms of Service feature on specific folders/files
Currently, this feature is only allowed at the account level, but if an enterprise account serves multiple internal and external user groups that may require different ToS, the feature becomes useless. Please consider a simple feature to allow custom ToS for specific folders or files. Thanks!

allow opening of Recent Files in Microsoft app, not just the browser
In "Recent Files" clicking on the three horizontal dots/ellipsis/meatball menu allows you to open Microsoft files in the browser, but not in the app. It'd be nice if you could just open in the app from the Recent Files section. Thanks.

Box Drive search for specific folder
Currently there is not way to search for a folder name offline. All you can search for is a file name. This can be problematic if you have multiple files with the same name, but just in different locations. Suggest being able to search for file name and then open file.

File Type Support: .nd Files
Have .nd file types supported on the Box Sync product. We use .nd files not for QuickBooks files, but for models we build. We would like there to be an option to upload these types of files through the sync interface.
0 votesThank you for the suggestion! This is not currently planned. We will consider this for Box Drive.

Select and Download Individual Files from Zip File Preview
The ability to Preview Folders within a zip file exists, however, you cannot click on individual files. It would be nice to be able to select the individual files from the zip file preview and then download the selected files.

Allow Hubs to search, find, and filter for zip files
When searching for files on Box, zip files appear - however on Hubs zip files are NOT found when using the search function. Also the ability to filter based on a file type for .zip would be helpful.

Decrease the line space between each files on the New UI
Hi team ,
I received a feedback from a client that the new UI made the line spacing bigger and would like to make the line space to decrease to before so that they can see more files in one screen.
Can you please consider this or be able to have option to change the line space?
Thank you in advance for the consideration
9 votesThanks for the feedback. We have made this change in order to make it easier for users to read and scan their file lists. While other users have made similar comments when they first saw the change, many of them have also told us they adapted to the change and prefer the new design.

Treat .todo files as plain text
There is a plugin for Sublime Text that lets you create .todo files for task lists. These are just plain text files so it would be great if they could be previewed and treated as plain text. I'm mainly interested in being able to use the versioning to see the history of these files.

Shared Links - Ability to Have Multiple Shared Links per Item (Folder/File)
Currently, Box's shared link system is a 1:1 ratio between items (files/folders) and shared links, meaning there's 1 shared link per item.
However, there are various scenarios where users would like to have the ability to create multiple shared links per item, each link with different permissions, etc.
Example Use Case: For File A...
--I want one 'people with the link' link with a password added and an auto-expiration set for 10 days from today so that I can share this link to time-sensitive content externally
--I also want a persistent 'people in your company' link that my…3 votes -

Recent Files Menu Options
I saw one suggestion to allow "Recent Files" to open in a Microsoft App and not just browser, which I voted. The web app does eventually show the Microsoft App, i.e. Word, but only after I click on the file and it opens in preview mode. Why not immediately and before actually going to the preview?
Also, adding an option to the recent files menu that would directly link you to the file's folder would be enormously helpful.

Box drive - DIsk full because of "offline files"
The hard drive of my computer is full (or a small free space available) because Box Drive is using a large part of the free space to load files that I don't want to see, they should stay in the cloud. I want to see on my computer only the files that are configured for "Off Line" access. Today there are more than 50 Gbytes on my computer that are useless.
With box sync, I didn't get this issue, it's a new problem specific to box drive.
It's a critical issue, my computer is running slowly because there is only…4 votes -

Default sort only savable from All files page
The default file sort (name or last updated) can not be saved as a default. When refreshing the page it goes back to the last sort that you used on the "All Files" page.
Similar to other online file sharing platforms, when you change teh default sort to name or last modified it saves that sort for all other folders. On Box.com if you change the default sort to by last modified on the All Files page it then applies that as the default sort for all other sub folders. I found this bug with Box support after entering…3 votes -
Ability to filter recent files by file extension
It would be great to be able to filter files in the Recent Files section by extension, access date, etc. Currently you can't sort anything. My use case was easy. I knew I had access one Excel file one week before but couldn't remember the name nor the real date. instead of scrolling in the whole list, I could have selected "Excel / spreadsheet file" to see only these files for a faster search.
