Ability to re-arrange All Files page on Drive, including external folders, for organizational purposes.
We would like to be able to move non-owned and external folders around for organizational purposes on their private Drive, without impacting the actual external/owner of the folder. For example: Company X shared Folder A with me at Company Y. I would like to move Folder A to my Company X folder in Drive so it's not clogging my All Files page (without this impacting Company X's folder).

Add link to file location to problem file report page
Many users are prevented from troubleshooting their own problem files because they do not navigate to the actual location of the issue, or they do not really know what file has a problem. This is also a very common sense UX improvement (that would be easy to do)

Do not allow users to complete a system logout or shutdown until all items are uploaded to Box.
We trying to leverage Box Drive to replace home drives for students. They are using Box Drive in their computer labs, but have recently reported that Box Drive will allow a user to log out (or shut down their computer) before all content has been uploaded to Box. I know we have a dialogue box associated with "in progress uploads" when logging out of the Box Drive application specifically. We are requesting an expansion of that logic to prevent users from completing a system logout or shutdown before Drive has a chance to sync all their files.

Consistent Search behavior between drive and webapp
Both the webapp search and Box Drive search call the same search API, but the ordering returned by the API is different, possibly because the API takes the requesting client (webapp or desktop) into account. This is a request for consistent behavior between desktop and webapp
10 votesWhile we are looking into making search improvements on Box Drive, the search results may not exactly mirror what’s in the web app

Display pop-up when opening a locked file.
The lock icon is small and users can overlook this and try to edit the file without knowing that it is opened read-only.

Disallow special characters that are not accepted by Windows Explorer or Mac Finder
in order to minimize issues with prohibited characters in Box Drive/Sync.
14 votesWe don’t have plans to disallow the use of certain characters on Drive, but we can consider improving the UX when a file error occurs due to one of these unsupported characters

Improve way to update lock status of a file
When a file is locked by a user in Box Drive, users who are looking at the same file at that time via web browser will not noticed the file is locked until they refresh the page. We would like to have the lock status updated in a more dynamic manner without the need for a page refresh
