Make Box for Desktop unmount the "Box" folder if the computer is locked.
Did another test to see if Box Desktop would disconnect if I locked my computer- it does not. My box is available to a user with Admin rights. This could be a potential security risk. A slim risk, however; I believe a fix would be to have box desktop disconnect at lock or switch user. Not sure if that is possible, but it might appease some users worried about their data being accessible, by another user with admin rights.

Provide a stable (unchanging) hardware or Device ID for the "Box" mount created by Box Drive
We need a way to exclude the "Box" mount from AV/DLP/Security products. Many of these products need a Device ID for their exclusion policies.

Allow Box Drive to be hidden if the computer is being accessed by someone who is not the user (remote login)
Currently, when an IT admin remotely logs into a user's computer, they can access Box Drive (and therefore all of Box) regardless of permissions, and can even download content to their own desktop. This presents a security risk for companies who allow their IT admins to access users' desktops.

Folders inside Box folder respect global folder view settings (e.g. icon size, etc.)
I understand this is a known product limitation, but is a pain point for our users.

Auto-update Python
The version of Python that is installed with Sync doesn't auto update. Concerned about security vulnerability.
0 votesPython 2.7 and 3 are both supported releases. Python 2.7 will be supported through 2020.
We review and update our python version periodically through Sync auto-update. We currently use python 2.7.9 with Box Sync. We plan to update to the latest version (2.7.11+).
We only install Python to Box specific location on Windows (%ProgramFiles%\Box\Box Sync) and Mac (inside Box Sync.app bundle). Other applications will not use our python installation.
We reviewed the CVE list of Python and there’s no CVE that requires immediate update from 2.7.9.

Support Routing to 2 (Or More) Proxies for Network Traffic
Currently Box Sync only supports routing traffic through 1 proxy (identified via leveraging the PAC file on the computer)
We have advanced network traffic routing schemes in place and need the ability to route Box traffic selectively to 2 (or more) proxies based on:
-Bandwidth/volume of traffic (i.e., routing uploads/downloads through a different proxy than all other Box traffic)
-Security (i.e., monitoring and visibility requirements for some traffic but not other traffic)
0 votesWe have no feature work planned for Box Sync.

Box Notes macOS Close Behavior
When you click to X out of an app on macOS/OS X it leaves the app running but closes the windows. Clicking this for the Box Notes app completely quits the application.
This behavior should mimic other macOS apps and close the window but not completely quit.
