Add support for Integrated Windows Authentication for Box Drive login flow
Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) allows for the following login flow for the webapp:
- User logs into Windows
- User goes to Box and selects to use SSO to login
- When the user is redirected to their Identity Provider, the browser sends the user's OS credentials and the user does not need to enter credentials again
- User is logged into Box
This would provide a more seamless experience for users. In our computer labs, users would sign into Windows, click one button in the Box Drive login window, and have access to their Box content natively in the OS.

Support for UNC paths in Box For Desktop
We require UNC paths instead of local paths to be supported by Box Drive. Today - we're leveraging WebDAV, which is less than ideal.

Add "Shared Link" or "Copy Link" option from the search interface
Instead of having to right click for more options, add this to the right sidebar or to the search interface. Otherwise, all we think we can do from the Box Drive folder is open a file.

We evaluated this previously, but have decided not to make changes yet given the user experience tradeoffs. If we get more requests of this, we can re-evaluate.

Allow admins greater control of Box Edit upgrade process
When Box Edit automatically upgrades upon the release of a new version, there is no way for Admins to stop it and then allow the update at a more optimal time. This can be very troubling for companies with large deployment with the .MSI.
After installation or an upgrade, a user needs to either manually launch Box Edit.exe and Box Local Com Service.exe or log out of their user account and log back in to get the processes running.
At a large scale, this just is not practical and causes a lot of confusion for users and admins alike.

Add ability to dismiss problem items if the user does not want to address the issue
For example, a Box item's name has characters that Windows does not support.
The user wishes to keep the name as is and doesn't need to see the item locally.
With Box Sync, they could just unsync the folder to avoid the problem item. With Box Drive, they cannot avoid the problem item.

Ability to lock files from within application once they're open
Our users would like the ability to lock a file once they have already opened a file in Box Edit/Box Drive/Box for Office.
They would like the ability to do this within the document without having to navigate back to the webapp or sync to lock the file.
9 votesBox for Office automatically locks a file when it’s being worked on. We don’t currently have plans to do this or Box Edit.
