  1. Download all versions of a single file at once

    If a file has multiple versions, it would be great to be able to download all these versions at once in a single Zip file.

    For exemple, if I have a Word file named "test.docx" with 247 versions of it, you would be able to download a single file named "test.zip" containing 247 Word files, named "test(1).docx", "test(2).docx", …, "test(247).docx".

  2. Avoid files loss upon uninstall

    The current uninstall app, on macOS, doesn't check on the syncing status of files. It erases the unsynced and cache folders directly, not even moving them to the system Trash.
    I've recently followed the process to update the BoxDrive macOS 12 beta and lost one week worth of files that hadn't been synced.

  3. Ability to add reminder notification function for folders and files

    I want you to apply the remind notification function for folders and files

    Currently Box Relay cannot send reminders for folders and files.
    I want you to apply the function to send notifications with a custom date and interval for each folder and file.
    With this function, it is possible to prevent oversight of work that has a deadline, and it is possible to carry out work efficiently.

    フォルダやファイルに対してのリマインド通知機能を適用して欲しい

    現在BoxRelayではフォルダやファイルに対してリマインド通知を送信することができません。
    フォルダ、ファイルごとにカスタムした日付と間隔で通知を送信する機能を適用して欲しいです。
    この機能により期日のある作業の見落としを防ぐことが出来て、効率的に業務をおこなうことが可能となります。

  4. Capability to finalize files

    It would be useful if it's possible to "finalize" files. Means some persons work on a file together until it is finalized and then prevent any further modification on the file. There is the Lock function, but then the person who locked the file, could still unlock it.

  6. Box Drive Should Show Files With Illegal Filenames or Characters

    We need Box Drive to be able to point to the offending error in Windows Explorer or Finder. Click on the offending file, folder is opened and file is selected in Windows Explorer or Finder in order to fix.

    not planned  ·  Anonymous responded

    This is not something that we have on the roadmap for the foreseeable future. Notifications were suppressed for these items and we will be investigating different ways to make problem items in general more discoverable.

  7. Box Sign - Checkbox should allow multiple options & multi-select

    The checkbox option should operate similarly to the radio button option, allowing the form editor to create multiple checkbox options at once. The only difference would be that the checkbox option would allow multi-select, while the radio button option offers only single-select.

  8. Please separate the colors of the icons displayed in folders and files.

    Due to the release of Box Shield's new classification indicators, the colors of the "lock icon" and "shared link icon" displayed on folders and files are all grayed out.
    In the past, the "lock icon" was red, and the "shared link icon" was blue, etc., making it easy for users to see and use.

    We believe this is a far cry from Box's goal of accessibility, which is "ease of use for all users."
    In order to provide an easy-to-use environment for all users, please restore the icon colors to the previous specifications or color code them.

    (Japanese)
    フォルダ・ファイルに表示されているアイコンの色を分けてください。

  9. Make it more obvious that there are multiple pages of documents

    Lists of files and folders may continue onto more than one page. Make the "2 of 2" at the bottom of the list very large and explicitly add a "See more" label next to the pagination. It is far too easy to not notice that there is more than one page of files, which leads to quality isssues.

  10. Possibility to share with non-Box users annotated files including the annotations.

    Annotating files, especially pdfs, inside Box would be much more useful to me if I could share the annotated file, including the annotations, with non-Box users. A setting on the shared link dialog like "Allow persons with the link to view annotations" would be a great enhancement.
    Thanks

  11. Open CSV files with Google Sheet (from Box WebApp/Preview)

    As of today, only file with .gdoc, .gslide, .gsheet, .docx, .pptx, .xlsc extensions can be "Opened With" Google workspace apps from the Box WebApp preview.

    This request is to add support for .csv files, so they can also be opened with Google Sheet.

  12. Ability to move my collection files up and down

    It would be nice if we were able to move saved files in the collections or favorites... Some files I use often are way down since I have a long list of flies I use from time to time.

  14. need to edit files but not change folder nae

    I need the ability to give users permissions so that they can upload files, edit files, delete files but not be able to change the folder name that those files are in. I'm going to use Skysync to move files there and the process will break if someone changes the folder name. Right now i don't think i can do this.

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  17. 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/get

    This 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.

    The 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.

  18. File Outcome Actions for Form Uploaded Files

    Include the ability to take file actions on files uploaded from a Box Form like you can in Relay. We have several Forms and Relays that not only take text/date/dropdown input but also have file upload fields and were hoping to move them to Automate so that we could take advantage of the additional features, but are unable to since there is no option to use an Outcome to take action upon the uploaded files.

  19. Enhanced Hide Function for Drive Folders/Files

    Starting with Box Drive v2.48, it has become possible to hide folders and files. This is a very welcome feature.

    However, when the “Show hidden files” setting is enabled in File Explorer, even if you use the folder hide function in Box Drive, the target folder is only grayed out on the screen and not completely hidden.

    Users would be pleased if a more complete hide function were implemented.

    エクスプローラーで「隠しファイル」の表示設定を行っているとき、Box Driveでフォルダ非表示機能を利用しても、画面上で対象のフォルダがグレーアウトするだけで完全には隠れないため、より完全な非表示機能が実装してほしい。

  20. ABILITY TO CLOSE THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR ON FILES!!!!!!

    GET RID OF THE ACTIVTY BOX ON FILES.

    OF OUR ~10,000 FILES ONLY 6 HAVE COMMENTS, SO WHY SHOULD WE ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE IT OPEN.

    WHEN USING TWO OPEN WINDOWS SIDE BY SIDE, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE BOX BECAUSE HALF OF THAT WINDO W IS OVERTAKEN BY THE ACTIVITY SIDEBAR.

    YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT, WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!
