Hello Box Community,

 

Following the release of the new box layout, it is now not possible to drag select, or shift/cmd select files. One must use the selection boxes on each item.

This can become problematic if I need to select many files.

 

Is there a way to revert to the old layout? or to enable shift/cmd select?

  Yes, just discovered this change to the Select checkbox. This severely inhibits function for the way my team uses Box. How can we revert this change?

  Follow-up: We just found that you can check one Select box and then Shift/Cmd click on another Select box to select multiple files. This is still clunky requiring that you only click that single spot, but makes it passably useable until we can hopefully revert it.

  Please upvote the return of the White Space Select function over in Pulse - https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-product-feedback

  I can't find anything on Pulse searching for white space select function - could you post the link to that specific ticket? Will be happy to upvote it.

  I still can't find yours specifically mentioning White Space Select, but I found another that's on there now asking for the same thing which I upvoted: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/46271431-selecting-files-on-the-box-ui

  Please at least give us an option to choose between checkbox and white space select.  I cannot stand the checkboxes personally.
