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.

You cannot expand the window to make it say "More details"

With Box Sync, they could just unsync the folder to avoid the problem item. With Box Drive, they cannot avoid the problem item.

Improve Installer UX: Update Branding + Tell User What to Do
The Box Edit installer has 2 key issues today:
- It is old Box branding
- It doesn't actually tell the user what they need to do (which is to double-click the icon)
Many other modern installers, including the Box Sync installer, at least have an arrow or additional guidance telling the user to 'drag here' or 'double click to start the installation'. Box Edit doesn't have either of these, which means users end up confused about what they actually need to do.
REQUEST: On the Edit installer, tell the user what to do. Aka add text that says "Double click this…

Box Edit Uninstaller
We like a standard un-installer for Box Edit (even if only the for the EXE version.) We are having to use the PowerShell un-installer requiring admin right assistance multiple times a week and it is not sustainable.

Provide versions of Box Edit ahead of time for testing purposes
We would like to get new updates of Box Edit to test before it becomes generally available. We would also like the ability to control auto update and possibly block this feature.

Report to view amount of content synced for each user
This would be highly beneficial for admins to see if users have too much content Syncing. In addition, admins can keep their users from syncing too much content and having sync issues.

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.
