Enhanced Locking Experience on Box Drive for Mac
With Enhanced Locking on Box Drive now launched for Windows (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360063653693-Box-Drive-v2-21-Release-Notes), it'll be great to have the same experience, i.e. opening a file will prompt the user to lock the file and auto-unlock the file when closing the file, for Mac users.
This way all users, no matter what OS they use, can have the same Enhanced Locking experience when working with files via Box Drive.

Enhance file storage location for Box Drive
Having files stored in a hidden user cache folder is a very bad design. Leave them in the folder where they "physically" are, instead, just as Box sync, Dropbox, Mega, and others do.
Plus, let me choose where the app installs in and which folders I want to keep synced. As is it now, Box Drive has a needlessly redundant mechanic, eats up space on the system drive, and give no control to users.
I uninstall the app until these problems are addressed.

Ability to view file menu without zooming out
In order to see the entire "More options" menu for a specific file, I need to ZOOM OUT. It cuts off even on a larger monitor/resolution at 100%.
If I could attach an image to show an example, I would.

"Show File Location" for Files Currently Uploading Through File Explorer/Finder
At this time, Box Drive only lists the File Name when checking the "Transfers" menu of synchronizing items. No indication is given as to where this syncing is taking place. The User is forced to memorize the location of an upload/download until it has completed.
I'm currently experiencing an issue where many large files (Gigabytes) are forever uploading after an unknown error restarts the upload upon completion. The only solution I've been given is to Log Out, thus deleting my Terabytes of Available Offline files. "UnsynchronizedFiles" in AppData proves to be unhelpful with certain errors.
Box Drive should allow the…

Box Drive Security - Utilize MFA/ Enforce connection to specific network
For several reasons having our staff use Box Drive to access their files is the most helpful for our office. However it would be great if some additional security features could be added to Drive such as requiring the user be connected to specific network or utilize an MFA process. We currently have a vpn requirement setup to access the Box web app through our Okta service but this doesnt work as well with Drive since it caches the user credentials.

Native searching in Box on Windows 10
Previously, you were able to search natively using Box Drive and Box Sync on Windows 7. Windows 10 has been out for a good amount of time now and since Box had an update that removed Box Sync in favor of the Box Drive application, it has become much more difficult to search through thousands of files using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+B shortcut as this panel does not show as many results as compared to previous versions of Box. I would like to see a feature in Box that will let me search through all my files in Box through File Explorer.

Ability to Change Sort Order
I'd like to be able to switch the sort order of folders to descending so I don't have to keep making multiple clicks each time I'm in and out of folders. The default is from oldest to newest, and I'd like to be able to reverse that and keep that as a preference.

Alert on folder names not allowed in Box web
Box Drive will alert when a folder name isn't valid. Would be nice that there would be a way to not allow folder names in Box web when Box Drive doesn't support it.

Ability to retain BoxDrive logs after logout/login.
I'd like BoxDrive logs to be retained after logout/login.
I would like to be able to get the log before I log out even if I have logged out of BoxDrive.
If you want to investigate the logs due to unexpected movement or problems, it will be difficult to investigate afterwards if you log out of the BoxDrive once for data safety and other reasons.
We want to prevent this from preventing us from identifying the cause of the problem.BoxDriveのログをログアウト/ログイン後も保持されるようにして欲しい
BoxDriveログアウトした場合でもログアウト前のログを取得できるようにして欲しい。
予期せぬ動きによりログを調査したい場合、データの安全などを考えてBoxDrive から一度ログアウトしてしまうとその後の調査が困難となります。
これにより原因が特定できないことを防ぎたいです。2 votes -
Show appropriate message when user does not have permission
When I try to access a Box link for which I don't have access, it displays a message that
"We can't seem to find the page you are looking for"Instead, it would be great to display a message directly stating that you don't have permission to view the page and also provide an option to request permission directly from the screen. Also, it would be great to provide a list of users who can provide access to that folder.

Windows 10 on ARM Support for Box Drive
Currently, Box Drive does not function on devices running Windows 10 on ARM.
ARM-based PCs are already taking over the Apple desktop and laptop ecosystem. Following that trend, Windows on ARM will likely become an increasingly important OS in the marketplace. Box Drive is an essential app for many Box users on Windows, and support will be necessary as the world migrates to ARM-based PCs.

Rename dialog - for open file in Box web interface from Box Drive "Error updating an item..."
For me, the most common Box Drive updating error is a "Unsupported Name" (i am a Windows user). Please, make the "Error updating an item..." dialog more useful - give the opportunity to rename the file "in place", or at least the way to open the file in a Box web interface to correct the error

Open file from UI Elements without approval
Ability to open a file from UI Elements Open With with Box Edit without being prompted to Approve/Deny to proceed.
Currently, every time a file is opened from UI Elements, Box Edit displays the prompt and asks the user to Approve/Deny before the user can start locally opening and editing the file. This adds friction to user experience, and we want the option to not display this prompt and auto-approve the file open from UI Elements
