BoxUtils: A Useful Chrome Extension for Box Users
BoxUtils is a utility software Chrome extension designed specifically for Box users. It offers a range of features to enhance the user experience when using Box on the web.
One of the main features of BoxUtils is the ability to open files and folders directly in the Windows File Explorer from the Box website. This is particularly useful for users who are more comfortable navigating through folders using the File Explorer interface. Please note that to use this feature, you will need to have Box Drive and BoxUtilsHelper installed.
Another handy feature of BoxUtils is the ability to open folders and files in the Windows File Explorer directly from the clipboard. This feature allows users to simply copy a path name to the clipboard and use BoxUtils to open it in the File Explorer. Again, Box Drive and BoxUtilsHelper need to be installed for this feature to work.
BoxUtils also provides functionality to retrieve, convert, and copy paths for opening files and folders in Box Drive from the Box website. This feature is especially useful when sharing paths between different users, as it can automatically convert the path based on the user's access level. It also supports creating markdown links for easy sharing. To use this feature, Box Drive and BoxUtilsHelper are required.
Lastly, BoxUtils allows users to display the precise timestamp of files and folders on the Box website, including seconds. It also provides color coding based on the elapsed time since the last update. This feature is useful for users who want to see the exact timestamp of updates, as the Box website tends to round the timestamp to "today" or other general timeframes.
Overall, BoxUtils is a valuable Chrome extension for Box users, offering convenient features to streamline file and folder management on the Box website.
