Sync alias/shortcut files on Box Drive
Box Drive currently does not support syncing alias files (I think these are called shortcuts on Windows machine), which is a basic file organization tool. Alternatively, expose the favorites from the box web app on box drive. At present, it's impossible to organize a list of your truly active files while working solely within Box Drive. Seems like making these file types available for syncing would be a simple solution to implement.

Add 'x' or cancel/clear button to clear out old search terms in Box Drive
Box Drive keeps the previous search terms in the search bar. If the user wants to do a new search, they need to manually clear out the old text.
Our user would like to have an "x" button at the end of the search bar they could click to clear the field, versus selecting the text to delete it manually

Tags and comments in Box Drive
Is there a way to see the tags in Box Drive? Right now I have to view box on the browser to see the tags for each file. Is there some option to view the tags in Box Drive without having to go to box.com each time?

Box Drive support for Tags (Windows)
We would like to be able to use tags in Box Drive in order to better sort/filter/search for specific information that is used company-wide (either the tags field in MS Office files or a Box-specific tag). I see several requests for this feature from Mac users, but not much reference for Windows users.
Thanks...

Box Drive status bar icon
When clicking the "box" icon pinned to the windows status bar, it opens up a search pop-up. Using Box Sync, clicking the icon pinned to the status bar would open up a new windows explorer window.
With box drive, you have to right-click the icon, then click "open box folder". I would like the option to change this to function like Box Sync did.

Box Drive & Box Shield
Currently Box Shield classifies copy & pasting within Box Drive as downloading which results in a false alarm notification. It would be great to be able to see the difference between moving files and actually downloading files from a Box report.

Add "Open in Box Drive" function
Add an "Open in Box Drive" UI option for the web app.
This solves the problem of identifying a file or folder in the web app, wanting to work on the file or folder in Box Drive, and needing to leave the Web App to navigate through several steps to find that file in Box Drive.Ideally this should only be active on hosts that have Box Drive installed; it could be not presented, or disabled, on other hosts.
For hosts that have Box Drive installed, this would allow:

Box Drive Path in MacOS
Now I am updating my MacOS. According to "https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407737091219-Using-Box-Drive-on-macOS-File-Provider-Extension-FPE-mode", my box path was changed from "~/Box" to "~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box". It is inconvenient to search files in my editor because the files are located far away from my home directory. Can I fix this issue? Dropbox is still located "~/Dropbox".

Trigger Box Sign from Box Drive

Make an Alias of Box Drive
Hello,
Previously, while using Box Sync on Mac OS, I was able to get quick access to the files by making an alias of the Box Sync folder.
I was also able to set the Finder preferences so that "New Finder Windows Show the Box folder."
However, it looks like neither of these are possible with Box Drive. Is there any way to make an easy shortcut to Box? The only option I've found is to place Box Drive in Launchpad.

Seamless Sign On - Box Drive
Like OneDrive, we want the ability for the box drive client to seamlessly sign into box without any user integration at login. This will benefit;

This has stopped any large scale rollout and we…
