Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally
Ability to edit file on external apps without saving files locally.
For example, if user would like to edit files on "Microsoft Office" app, they need to set “Files can be saved to device: On “ on Admin console > Enterprise settings > Mobile
But some users cannot set "ON" due to their security policy. "Open In" icon is grayed out.1 vote -
support the preview of other types of compressed files such as .7z, .TAR, and .XIP
It's very helpful that Box now supports previewing Zip Files as noted at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196713-Previewing-Zip-Files, and we would like to know if there are plans to support the preview of other types of compressed files such as .7z, .TAR, and .XIP?

Manage Folders and Files by Other Users
I recently noticed that, as an administrator/owner of The Animal League of Green Valley account, I cannot see folders and files deleted by other users.
This caused a serious problem when a user accidentally deleted a folder and then left for an extended leave.
I expected to be able to enter "Trash", see the folder and restore it; however, it was not visible to me.
Fortunately, we were able to contact the user who deleted the folder, and that person was able to restore it, but the situation could have been much worse, disastrous actually.
It seems to me that…

Notifications from Box Relay aren't very useful without linking back to the file or folder
Relay is a great tool - but the Notifications aren't very useful. There is no way to link to the actual file or folder that is involved, so the user gets a very nebulous notification that is basically meaningless. Instead of being helpful, it could actually cause confusion for the user, if there are multiple activities happening at the same time.
Please update this functionality! Thanks!

Add the ability to mark a folder for offline use (for viewers) when files have watermarks
In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline

List of files detected as abnormal downloads
Content: Currently, Box Shield cannot output a list of files detected as abnormal downloads, so a report must be output and presented to the user for confirmation.
If there are a large number of detections, it is not practical to check them one by one.I would like to see a feature implemented that allows you to check a list of affected downloads if an abnormal download is detected.(日本語)
件名：異常なダウンロードとして検出されたファイルの一覧について
内容：現状のBox Shieldの異常なダウンロードで検知されたファイルは一覧出力ができず、レポートを出力してユーザーへ確認する必要があります。
検知数が多い場合、1つずつ確認するのは現実的ではありません。
異常なダウンロードとして検知された場合、対象一覧を確認できる機能の実装を希望します。3 votes -
Allow multi-file downloads greater than 20GB by streaming as gzipped tar
Downloading multiple files via the Box web interface is currently limited to a total file size of 20GB. I assume this is due to needing server-size storage to create a temporary zip file for the download. If, instead, there were an option to download the selected files in gzipped tar format, there would be no-need for additional server-side storage (because both tar and gzip are streaming formats) and there would be no need to cap the download size.

Restrict Box Drive files from being viewable/accessible from Windows command prompt
Box Drive files can actually be viewed and manipulated (to some extent) from Windows command prompt. We are concerned about the potential for malicious command line scripts that could be .run to steal information from our Box tenant

Edit files shared on Microsoft Teams chats without having to preview them first
Currently, when a file is shared on a Microsoft Teams chat, there is a sharing card with two buttons: Preview and Edit.
When the recipient of the shared link clicks on Edit first, an error is shown saying "Office Online failed to load", which apparently is caused by the lack of edit permissions to the file. In other words, clicking the Edit button doesn't add the necessary permissions.
On the other hand, clicking on the Preview button works fine and file is displayed as expected. After previewing, clicking on Edit also works because apparently the recipient of the shared link…13 votes -
Quarantined files indicator for Box mobile app
Quarantined files currently show a red exclamation indicator icon + tooltip “This file is under quarantine” on webapp, but NOT on mobile.
This is an issue for users (especially external collaborators) who will try to access these quarantined files on mobile, but not understand why they can’t access it.

Permit a relay to be edited by multiple users
Have the ability for multiple users to edit relays and not just creator, if creator leaves or is OOO it creates delays in managing relays should they need to be updated.

Copy files to Relevant Folders based on Tags or Automation Rules
We would like to setup Automation rules for folders that would COPY and not MOVE new files to designated folders.
To take the idea even further, if the COPY could be triggered by a TAG assignment, it would be even better, because some of the files in the affected folder should not be copied, while other should.

Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box
The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

Show size of all files in a folder
When downloading, it would be useful to compare the total size of what has been downloaded to the total size of what is being downloaded. Files have sizes listed, not sure about folders, but a total of whatever is on the page, or what is selected would be useful.

Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters
Support for CorelDraw (*.cdr) files as a recognized "image" or "drawing" for search filters. It is most similar to Adobe Illistrator, so perhaps it should be in the same category as *.ai files.

BoxDrive Moving files between folders with different owners using
BoxDrive When using to move files in different folders with different folder owners, the file owner cannot be changed and an error occurs. This can be done using the Box browser, so I would like to be able to do the same with BoxDrive.

Ability to lock files from within application once they're open
Our users would like the ability to lock a file once they have already opened a file in Box Edit/Box Drive/Box for Office.
They would like the ability to do this within the document without having to navigate back to the webapp or sync to lock the file.
9 votesBox for Office automatically locks a file when it’s being worked on. We don’t currently have plans to do this or Box Edit.

Do not create folder in "All Files" when a user already has access to a folder in higher hierarchy
Everytime a Box folder is added to a Microsoft Teams team using the box plugin, or a user is invited to a box folder, the according folder appears in All files. We have a large number of teams and a lot of projects, so "All files" gets messed up quite quick. Box and the box plugin should check if a user already has access to a folder in the higher hierarchy. In this case the folder should not appear separately in "All Files".

While we don’t have any current plans to support this feature, I would recommend the following workaround to use the ‘Description’ field that appears at the top of a folder. You can even add hyperlinks into the description! More information is available here: https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Migrating-and/Adding-Descriptions-to-Folders-and-Files/ta-p/58565
