Password Protect Folders and Files
I'd love the option to Password-protect folders and files as this is something that Dropbox currently does.
When you password-protect files through Dropbox, you guarantee that only the people you want to access your files can get to them.
Before anyone can view or download a document, they need to enter the password you set to protect the document.

Add ability to batch rename multiple files
I'd like to be able to select all contents of a folder (ex. images taken by a particular photographer at an event) and standardize all file names (ex. EventPhotographer Name (1), EventPhotographer Name (2),...)
This is simple to do in Windows Explorer, but I really do not want to download and then re-upload for something so minor!4 votes -
When uploading to Box, it is common to upload all files in a folder. At this time, the same file may be uploaded multiple times, but is it
When uploading to Box, it is common to upload all files in a folder.
At this time, the same file may be uploaded multiple times,
but is it possible to set it so that only new files are uploaded based on the timestamp?
Because I want to stop unnecessary version upgrades.
In the case of FTP, there is a "mirroring upload" function,
which uploads only new files based on the timestamp.

Identify duplicate files in Box, and apply any policies in place onto all duplicates

No "print" option like in Box Notes
There's no way to export or print the Canvas. This ability exists in Miro, so if Canvas were to offer this, we could likely cut out our Miro licenses. This ability exists today in Box Notes, so it would make sense for it to be available in Canvas as well.

Direct Links for files on Box Drive
We have Excel files that reference each other that we moved from local drives to Box Drive. The links change to whatever box folder we move them to, but the path is listed as "C:\users\username\filename"... etc. We need these links to reference the actual Box URL so that other people who have access to the file can still get the updated reference.
46 votesThe Box Drive folder can now be placed in a ‘general’ location outside of C:\users\username. This should resolve your issue. More information can be found here: https://community.box.com/t5/Deploying-Managing-Box-Drive/Configuring-the-Default-Box-Drive-Folder-Location/ta-p/66248

Ability to lock down folders to prevent accidental moving of files or deletion
Ability to lock down folders to prevent accidental moving of files or deletion
49 votesBecause of the downstream impacts, we will not be solving this problem as requested. We will be looking at a more holistic approach to prevent unintended consequences of file operations.

Ability to sync individual files,
The ability to sync an individual file would be very useful. I often just need a few files if i'm on a flight for example and don't need the whole folder. Copying into a new folder just to sync an individual file is not a great solution.

Rollback all files uploaded even if one fails to upload
Under the current design, when uploading multiple files, the successful files are stored in Box, even if one of the uploads fails. As a result, subsequent processing, e.g. adding metadata, may also not take place. This is inconvenient for the user under the usecase of using File Request+Metadata. The user has to look for files that were not uploaded and has to check the metadata for files that were uploaded. And if the uploader is anonymous, it's impossible. This Pulse requests that if one or more uploads fail, the uploads of other files performed in that File Request are…

Support multiple accounts in Windows file explorer.
As a technology consultant I have multiple business Box accounts. I need to be able to easily access all my Box folders from the Windows desktop not just one at a time. OneDrive and DropBox both offer multiple account support in Windows Explorer. Lack of this support is the main reason I am not recommending Box for many of my corporate customers due to this inconvenience

We would like the ability to have a print button appear when one or more folders/files are selected. フォルダ/ファイルを1つ以上選択した際に印刷ボタンが表示される機能が欲しい
The current specification allows printing from the file preview screen, but if you want to print multiple files, you have to open the preview screen one by one and press the print button, which is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Therefore, when you select one or more folders or files (including BoxNotes), we would like the "Print button" to be displayed on the folder/file screen or by pressing "More Options."
Also, when a folder is selected, I would like to be able to print all the materials in the selected folder.現在の仕様ではファイルのプレビュー画面から印刷が可能となりますが、複数のファイルを印刷したい場合、1つ1つプレビュー画面を開いて印刷ボタンを押す必要があり、作業的にかなりの時間と手間がかかってしまいます。
そのため、フォルダまたはファイル(BoxNotes含む)を1つ以上選択した際にフォルダ/ファイル画面上に「印刷ボタン」または、"その他オプション"を押すと「印刷ボタン」も表示されるようにしてほしいです。
またフォルダを選択した場合、選択したフォルダ内の資料が全て印刷できるようにしてほしいです。1 vote
