Accurate display of number of files
Fixed the problem of inconsistent number of files
Inconsistencies in the number of files can occur when large amounts of data are owned or moved for business purposes.
There is a workaround for this in the support page, but it does not work in some cases.
Even if we can confirm the exact number of items in the report, the size may differ due to data inconsistencies.
We feel that it is inconvenient for business use to not be able to accurately grasp the number of data.
Please fix the inconsistency of the number of files.[日本語]

Ability to rearrange the image files displayed on Box Drive and Box Web
For image files (photos), such as jpg and png files, there is a Date taken item in the "Properties".
On Box Drive and Box Web, We wants to organize the photos by descending or ascending order based on the Date taken.
However, since [Box Drive] and [Box Web] do not have the Date taken attribute, files cannot be organized by the date and time they were taken.
Thus, we would like you to add the Date taken attribute.22 votes -
don't show files till all the files are uploaded
I often send files to coworkers and I dislike that the file is downloadable to them before it's actually fully downloaded to box. This ends up creating a corrupt/ non-workable file for them. Also I think the files should not show up on their end before all the files are completely downloaded, in batch uploads because I will have coworkers then say only some of the files are downloaded and it looks like a mistake when it's just still uploading. Thanks!

*.jar files should not be opened like *.zip files
I sometimes share software patches with customers via Box. The files are often .jar... This is the file extension for Java Archives, which are a type of .zip format. However, unlike .zip, they are not intended to be opened by users. The Box interface (desktop at least) previews the files/folders inside a selected .jar file. It is confusing to the user. Instead, these files should be handled as downloads only.

Allow us to change sharing settings on multiple "image" files at once!
It's a HUGE pain in Box. You put 20 or 30 images into a Box note, and you want to share that note with someone at your company, but outside the team that has access to that folder. You must MANUALLY click every single image, open sharing settings, change to "View to anyone at my company".
If Box could just make it so that if we change the sharing settings on the folder containing the images, all the images would have the same sharing settings, OR allow a multiselect of images to change sharing settings for all images at once,…

Identify files that fail to sync using Box Sync
In my experience - Box Sync on Windows 10 - I often run into messages "N files could not be synced" - usually because a Mac user saved a file with a name Windows can't handle. If it's only one file, it tells me the name, but if it's more than one, it only shows the number. I would go into Box to rename the files - however, I cannot find any way to identify the offending one. Would love an option on Box Sync that showed the set of files that are throwing sync errors.

Automate quarantining of infected files
While speaking with Box Premiere Support Team, it was stated that there is no current option/means to automatically place an infected file into quarantine. The file stays available and is up to the Content Owner/Site Admin to manually address the issue.
It would be nice to have a feature that automatically placed suspicious/infected files in a designated quarantine folder while it is being reviewed. This will eliminate the potential for someone to accidentally download the file and cause potential harm.

Can't filter search files marked for offline use to unmark quickly and regain HD space.
NEED ASAP: See file list of marked for "offline use" to quickly/easily unmark to regain HD space. I regularly run low on space locally. Users should have a way for Box to ID files based on cache of local machine—to "unmark all" quickly, AS WELL AS selectively with a list of files marked offline to keep any files "offline available" as needed. A MUST-HAVE feature for managing files, since the whole point of box is file storage and accessibility.

Preview files about xdw, xbd and xct in Box for iOS.
Please support xdw, xbd and xct files in Box for iOS.
Box for iOS can preview files supported by Box, such as PDF.
However, Box for iOS can not preview xdw, xbd and xct files (*1) for the following reasons.DocuWorks Viewer Light (iOS) (*2) implements Quick Look Preview Extension.
Thus, an app can preview xdw, xbd and xct files if the app implements QLPreviewController.
Although Box for iOS has already implemented QLPreviewController, previewing xdw, xbd and xct files are not supported by Box.*1)

Ability to sync dot-files
I'm a developer and my projects are synced to box, and I need, when I access my projects on another computer, to retrieve all my files, including my "dot" files (such as .env, .gitignore, .editorconfig, etc.). Only, now "dot" files are not synced, as explained on this page:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195433. This is a problem, so it would be nice to be able to manually force certain files to sync or to have them automatically sync.3 votes -
Enhance user experience for searching files with tag
As legal department, we manage contract documents using tag but when we search files filtering with them, user experience is not intuitive when I follow steps described below.
- search a keyword filtering with tag
- change the keyword on search box
- filter for tag set in 1 is reset and disappeared
Also, we would like to search file filtering with tag without any keywords in the search box as populating keyword is currently a must to start to search unlike Metadata, which is also inconvenient.
33 votesSearching for tags without a keyword is now possible in the Box web app.
Tag filter is not reset when changing the keyword.

Co-edit password-protected files
Under current specifications, password-protected files are not supported by Box for Office Online and cannot be co-edited.
The password must be removed on the file for collaborative editing.
We request the ability to collaborate on editing even passworded files, such as being able to temporarily remove the password on Box.4 votes -
separate owned file/folders view from all files/folders view
We need the ability when viewing a users list of files and folders to show only content owned by user. Right now files that have any collaboration at all do not show differently if owned by user or not. Ideally, we could toggle a view filter to show only files/folders owned by user if needed.

Select multiple properties in files, and create interface like Spotify / Apple Music
Hi Box support and community,
France suggested I suggest here for the following ideas.Is there a way to make a selection of MP3 files all the same properties, ie. all end the same date, etc. ?
Also, After making MP3 files, Can Box make a layout of music files like Spotify or Apple music ? I am working on placing my music on a WordPress site and want it to look similar and nice looking, since I already have those two services on the same webpage. (I hope so).
These are the suggestions. I have these options through…
