Is there any way to make very file available offline? Or even just to select a group of folders and make them available offline? I have 200+ folder in my Box and don't want to have to mark each one individually...

Hi Chris, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

At present, you may only mark folders for offline one at a time, and there is no option do this automatically on multiple folders.

If this is something you would like to be able to do, I would highly recommend submitting this feature request at pulse.box.com! Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.

Thanks for posting and for your participation in the forum!

There must be a way to make all files available offline.  Everyone needs to be able to work offline occasionally.  I need to often.  Please help me.

it was just a setting in the old box sync app

I posted a pulse idea to box as I too have this issue.

Lipservice  from Box support.  What about actually responding with an answer to user issues?

Was testing out box.com for a company to replace drop box, but the lack of always available offline files with a single setting, and no option to open directly to the folder when double clicking the box icon in the lower right, are deal breakers for me.  They are easy to code quality of life features that come default with drop box.  I’ll put in the request to pulse.box.com but the fact this is a year old and the feature still doesn’t exist, is disturbing for a company I’m looking to sign up with.
