Allow multi-select of files to download from Content Explorer UI element
Our use case is using Content Explorer to allow users to interact with content in Box. If a user wants to download multiple files via Content Explorer, they either have to download one-by-one, or launch the Content Picker UI element and identify their files again. If Content Explorer supported either multi-select or a checkbox multiple select, users could then download their files with one click.

Version control - multiple uploads of the same file
Person A uploads file 1 then person B uploads a new version file 2 as a separate file instead of using the upload new version feature. Same thing for person C and D with files 3 and 4 with 4 being the latest. Any editor should be able to select these multiple files and merge them into one where the files are autosorted according to date. So one file with file 1 as the file name but the contents show file 4 as the latest and if you check version history, you'll see files 1, 2, & 3.
Thank you…

Add a feature to enable batch descriptions to be added to multiple files on Box at once.
Our organisation is using the file description feature to optimise search and give legacy context and crediting to files on Box.
Descriptions must be added manually to files one at a time. we are uploading hundreds of files at a time, often all with the same description.
A feature that allows multiple files to be selected and assigned the same description at once would be hugely efficient v the current process.

Box Drive should preview files in windows explorer or Finder
There is a feature in Windows Explorer that allows you to enable a preview pane that previews the contents of files inside of the explorer window. This does not work on files that are in Box Drive even for files that have been opened before.

Box for Teams v2: Bunch of files will be shown when the files has shared in direct chat
When the files has shared in the direct chat, it will be uploaded in "Microsoft Teams Chat Files" folder on sender side, on the other hand, for the receiver side, files will be listed in the top directory, which leads to list bunch of files in the top directory.
It would be nice, if the new folder will be created for the each chat under "Microsoft Teams Chat Files" folder and add collaboration for the folder when the direct chat has started.

Sync alias/shortcut files on Box Drive
Box Drive currently does not support syncing alias files (I think these are called shortcuts on Windows machine), which is a basic file organization tool. Alternatively, expose the favorites from the box web app on box drive. At present, it's impossible to organize a list of your truly active files while working solely within Box Drive. Seems like making these file types available for syncing would be a simple solution to implement.
56 votesThank 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!

Box Drive - Add Support for .pst Files
While .pst files are visible from Box's web client, they are not visible from Box Drive. This results in an inability to connect .pst files from Box to Outlook, and is preventing us from rolling out Box across our enterprise.

Batch preview of multiple files
When a large number of documents are sent from other users, it is currently necessary to open each document one by one.
When a large number of files are opened at the same time, it takes time to open them, which is inefficient.
We would like to have the ability to “preview” selected documents at once.--日本語訳--

Box Drive path for InDesign linked files
Background:
We’ve moved the location of Box Drive to be outside the username location for our users. This allows for multiple users to work with InDesign , collaborate, and reference the correct asset links without issue. Reference – community.box.com/t5/Deploying-Managing-Box..Issue:
However, if a user hasn’t previously viewed the file in BOX Drive (e.g. ‘downloaded it to force a local sync’) then the linking of the file still breaks. This causes the following issues : when the user opens an InDesign file, they still need to navigate to anywhere from 5 – 50 different file locations in BOX Drive to ‘open/sync/download’…13 votes -
Sync multiple accounts to Box Drive
Allow multiple accounts to sync with Box Drive.
Many of us have multiple corporate/personal accounts that require local drive sync'd access.56 votesWe’re not planning a ‘fast switch’ option to allow a user to easily switch between 2 different Box accounts on Box Drive while maintaining all cached data. The only option we have now is that users can ‘logout’ of their current account and sign into another account, but the caveat is that this will delete all their local cached data/MFO settings from Box Drive

Currently the Adobe Sign integration with Box produces multiple files for each stage of the sign process instead of saving 1 single file
Currently the Adobe Sign integration produces multiple files for each stage of the sign process (e.g. sent, in-progress, complete). It would be great if those files could be versions of a single file.

Lock Entire Folder (and all files and folders underneath)
Product Enhancement Request: In the same way that I can currently lock files, it would be great if I could lock things at the folder level and that lock would apply to all files and subfolders within the main folder.
46 votesThank you for the feedback! At this time, we cannot prioritize this request, but will keep this under consideration for future feature prioritization.

Open multiple tabs
Multiple tabs. We would like the ability to open different files (which may or may not be in different folders) in a tabed structure so that examining these files or reexamining these files during a discussion of their contents would not require a succession of closing and reopening files. We are proposing a structure similar to the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge tabs.
