Upgraded my laptop, lost hundreds of files, Box support claiming files never properly synced
Hi Box, I am incredibly frustrated and disappointed with your product. Your customer support team said I need to post the feedback here. I have been using Box Drive for the past four years and was using it to keep track of sensitive and important records and information related to my employer's financial statement audits. This included hundreds of workpapers and workbooks used to gather and compile information to send to our auditors for the company to pass our annual audit. I could view the files in Box Drive and in the online web browser, indicating that they had properly…

zip file decompression function
Zip files cannot currently be unzipped in Box.
We would like to add additional functionality because it would reduce the risk of virus infection and improve user convenience by allowing users to unzip Zip files in Box without downloading them.
It would be even better if you could also support Zip files with passwords.14 votes -

Allow 'show folder' button when multiple items are moved/copied
Multiple items are always moved/copied to the same location, therefore a user should be able to navigate to where those items were moved as you can with single file moves/copies.

Add a repeat function when playing audio files
Add a repeat function when playing audio files.
I’d take a random playback function too, but this is secondary for me.

Migration of files larger than 10MB from Google Drive
As it stands, we are unable to migrate content from Google Drive due with there being a HARD limit of 10MB as the max file size.
Google have a workaround which is outlined here - (1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55274737/is-there-any-way-download-bigger-than-10mb-documents-using-google-drive-api#:~:text=1-,This%20is%20answered,-in%20this%20question and here (2) https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/getThis would mean changing the Shuttle tooling so that Instead of using the Drive API Files:Export method, you can use Files: get (2) with fields = exportLinks.
3 votesThe limit on exporting Google files larger than 10MB is imposed by Google. We have reviewed the various available APIs and workarounds, but none of them produced a viable result. They all have other limitations that make them unsuitable for migration.
We will continue to monitor as Google continues to evolve and adapt its platform, and will look to increase this when or if it becomes viable.

Support for .IMA files in Box DICOM Viewer
I have a few DICOM files with the Siemens IMA extension. These files are fully compatible, just carry a different extension. In all other software they can be imported just like .dcm files. On Box I can even change the extension from .ima to .dcm and use it in the Box DICOM Viewer. Please enable support for this (and possibly other?) file extension.

Independent back-up of files in box
In allot of professions, regulatory requirements require for us to have an independent back up of the files. With today's increased ransomware where they freeze your files, having an independent back-up is a great idea. I propose for Box to have all the files backed-up to a third location where its stored for access if needed. What happens if someone deletes a file by mistake or get all the files deleted. Having a site as back up will be a great idea. Filed could be backed up once a week. And I can tell you I will pay…

Multiple folder Search options in Content Filters.
When we search content, we can only set a certain folder to search (with a tick box) as a condition.
However, we would like to select multiple folders in the Content Filter to have more specific results in order to refer file a in folder A and file b in folder B.5 votes -
Provide an option to sync files with names beginning with '.'
Box sync / box drive needs to provide an option or a setting that will enable files whose names begin with '.' to be sync'ed.
Reason: I would like to be able to use Box Drive as storage for projects that I manage via Eclipse and GIT. However there are files and directories named .git and .project that currently box drive does not sync, which makes using my box drive as storage for such things impossible.3 votes -
"Show File Location" for Files Currently Uploading Through File Explorer/Finder
At this time, Box Drive only lists the File Name when checking the "Transfers" menu of synchronizing items. No indication is given as to where this syncing is taking place. The User is forced to memorize the location of an upload/download until it has completed.
I'm currently experiencing an issue where many large files (Gigabytes) are forever uploading after an unknown error restarts the upload upon completion. The only solution I've been given is to Log Out, thus deleting my Terabytes of Available Offline files. "UnsynchronizedFiles" in AppData proves to be unhelpful with certain errors.

Menus are cut off and unusable
When I select one of the files closest to the top of the list, the menu options for "open with" and sometimes "download" are cut off. No matter how I resize my screen I can't reach those menu items. This is an issue across multiple computers, usually using Chrome.

Increase upload limit for files in a folder
For people like myself who have a large number of files that need to be categorized in appropriate folders it is imparative that I make uploading easy for my team members.
Box only allows 500 files per folder, which I understand is to prevent many files being lost at the same time, which I am thankful for.
BUT....
It would be great that during the upload process that box.com automatically created another folder to accommodate any files over the 500 mark.Don't you think?

Add an option to File Request only for managed users
We would like to gather files from internal managed users avoiding spoofing. Currently, one way is to use collaboration as uploader permission but uploader can still see file name each other where multiple users are collaborated. We need to make users authenticate and do not want to let them see information of other's uploaded files.
4 votesthe file request can be setup to support only allowing managed users.

Automatic email response for file request submitter
Would like a feature whereby the person submitting files using Box File Request receives an automatic confirmation email with a customizable message. For example, after the submitter uploads files using the File Request web widget, that person gets a email to the effect of, "Thank you for contacting us. A team member will review your submittal and follow up within 24 hours." The person would be required to provide an email address but not required to have a Box account. Many of our external customers send us application materials using File Request, and then they contact us separately wanting to…

The "Application Restriction" should be configurable with the same granularity as the "Download and Print Restriction".
(Japanese follows English)
In the "Download and Print Restriction" section of Box Shield's Access Policy, it is possible to apply download, print, move and copy restrictions to Browser/Mobile/BoxDrive by specifying Managed/Outside Users and Owner/Co-Owner/Editor.
On the other hand, third-party applications are not included in this restriction, and only downloads can be restricted under "Application Restrictions".
We would like to be able to set "Application Restriction" to the same granularity as "Download and Print Restriction, as it provides a more consistent user experience if the same controls are applied regardless of which device or application is accessing the site.
