  1. Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.

    Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

  2. Ability to download multiple files from a box hub

    We are using Box Hubs to gather assets from various folders in one place for publication. We need to be able to download all the assets so we can color-correct them, and it's a bit tedious to have to download them one by one.

  4. Set number of files displayed

    Allow a setting so that we can choose the number of files/folders displayed per page so we don't have to click through 4 pages to get to the end.

  7. Support for .bak files through Box Drive.

    Currently .bak files in Box are not exposed in the Box folder in Explorer, and putting a .bak file in your Box folder will result in a "problem file"

  9. Choose location for files marked for offline

    Similar to Box Sync, would love to be able to choose a specific location for files marked for offline use in Box Drive. At least we could see the thumbnail previews.

  12. Add print functionality under "more options" tab on file level list instead of having to go to preview or open the file

    Currently it is only possible to print a document from the preview window or by opening the document.

    Request: consistency of experience and adding an option on the file list level (under More Options)

  16. Drive: Notifications when there is simultaneous editing happening

    When multiple people are simultaneously editing in Drive multiple versions save as different copies. There should be notifications so people don't have to lock files to let others know they are editing a document.

    We have launched the capability to coauthor Office, iWork and Google Workspace files from Box Drive. Coauthoring documents will provide indication on the users who are actively editing the document.

    We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap for other file types. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

  17. Search - Add Microsoft Visio Files (.vsd, .vsdx, etc.) to the 'Full Text Search' Index

    Box already has in-file search ('full text search') on other Office file types (Word Docs, PowerPoint files, and Excel spreadsheets), so users expect that Visio files (which are part of the Office suite) would also be indexed by Box.

    REQUEST: Include contents of Visio files (.vsd, .vsdx, etc.) in Box's search index.

    Context - here's the externally-documented list of file types supported by Box's in-file ('full text search') feature: https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/Search-Overview-and-FAQs/ta-p/354#search_hdsiw

    Thanks for the feedback! We have and added this to our backlog. Due to low customer demand for these types, they are currently not prioritized on the roadmap.

  18. Confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity

    When users copy (Ctrl+C) files on Box Drive, and then paste (Ctrl+V) the files on their desktops, it is almost doing the same thing as "Downloading" or "Copying."
    However, neither the above are recorded in User Activity.
    We would like to be able to confirm the downloading and copying files in User Activity.
