  1. 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.

  2. Add Support on Adobe Links Files

    Creative teams leverage this the most when they are cross-linking between Adobe files into a master file to consolidate auto-updating and auto-pulling of all the assets coming from all the different files.

    This is not planned for development. We will let you know if anything changes.

  3. Open edit screens of multiple files on Box at once /Box上の複数ファイルの編集画面を一度に開く

    When creating documents, we often have to open multiple documents on Box, and we have to open each one and operate them one by one.
    This method of operation requires a lot of time just to open the editing screen, so we would like to have a function that allows us to preview and open the editing screen for all files at once after selecting them.
    [和訳]
    Box上の資料を複数開いて資料作成をする事が多く、一つ一つ開いて操作をしています。
    この操作の方法だと編集画面まで開くだけでも工数がかかるため、ファイル選択後に一括でファイルのプレビューや編集画面を開ける機能を要望します。

  4. Create a view of files or folders with unsupported names

    Currently: If a file has an unsupported name, it will be listed in Box Drive or Box Sync without their path name. Users will have to manually search for the file which is not feasible if they have thousands of files with unsupported names.

    Desired: Create a view of files or folders with unsupported search names in the Box web app to make it easy to rename and removes the process of having to manually search for them.

    Nice to Have: Have a button, when clicked, expands to reveal the full path of files or folders with unsupported names

  5. Viewers of watermarked files can download file before previewing it

    Owner of folder wants to have users be able to mass download files within watermarked folder. In the current way, user has to preview each file individually before seeing option to download.

  7. Box Mobile - Hyperlink files embedded within Excel

    While opening linked files within an excel file on the Box mobile application.

    This is happening due to the current preview architecture for excel files and nested/linked files within the Box application. Although you can 'see' the desired file visible on the screen, within your current workflow, the Box app only recognizes the original file as being 'opened' which is why the original files are being saved and not the file open currently.

    Thanks

  8. Box Drive support for bookmarks to files and folders

    Box Web allows you to paste a link to a file or folder as a bookmark to quickly jump to that location. It would be great to have this work for Box Drive as well. The main use case is that we are moving from traditional Windows file shares to Box Drive. The experience is similar in that the files and folders are mapped in a hierarchical structure. The issue we are having is that some departments rely on Windows shortcuts to jump from one location to another in the shared drive.

    The bookmark functionality seems to be able to…

    Would it be possible to download more than 10,000 files in a single zip download? We have a use case where we need to download 30,000 files in a single zip.

  11. Ability to opt-out from Group collaboration or hide group collaborated folders under All Files.

    If collaborated as Group, the folder appears under All Files whether the user want to see it or not.

    After a while, all of these folders would show up under the user's All Files and would be very hard to manage.

    Thus, ability to opt-out from group collaboration or ability to "hide" folders under All Files is needed.

  12. I want to set conditions for files in File Request

    I want to limit the types of files that can be received by checking file extensions (Word, Excel, Power Point, PDF, image, video, audio files, etc.)
    I want to be able to set a single file size limit.

    Implementing this function improves security.

  13. Sort files by real number in filename

    In the file view of the web app, files and folders should be sorted by real number, not alphabetically by first digit. In Windows and Mac a files will be listed like

    1.
    2.
    10.

    On Box web files are listed incorrectly like

    1.
    10.

  14. make linked files visible in Finder on desktop

    Linked files are only visible in the web version of Box, and not visible on the desktop with Box Drive. This defeats the purpose of having linked files since the majority of users are accessing Box through Box Drive on their desktop. Please update!!!

  15. Ability to copy/duplicate files

    My local City sends out links to files that expire in 30 days or so.
    Currently I download those files, then upload them back to box,net.

    The "copy" feature for such links seems to copy the links, not create a safe local copy of the data.

  16. Show file/metadata info from Photoshop image files

    Photographers submit their images to our Box account for use in our publications. The industry standard is for professional photographers to add metadata like the photo credit and caption to each photo using the "File Info" tool in Photoshop. Unfortunately, after doing so and then uploading the images to Box, the metadata added in Photoshop is not visible in Box's metadata section. Please consider exposing this info under "details" or "metadata."

    Extra credit: Allow us to edit that same metadata in Box. Doing so would allow the correct credit and caption info to flow into our InDesign layouts. Saving lots…

    While we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.

  17. 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…

  19. 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.
