Limit the number of Box files/folders that can be Marked for Offline use
We would like to limit the Box files/folders that we can Mark for Offline use, like what we currently have when modifying Box drive’s cache limit.

Add options to control cache size on Box Drive for mac/windows
In particular, there should be a setting to specify the maximum cache size, or an option to have it be up to a certain percentage of free disk space (eg 30% by default, similar to the iPhone app). There should also be a screen that shows how much disk space the cache is currently using and a button to clear the cache with one click.

Manage Permissions directly on the folder in Box Drive
Add ability to review/manage colloborators on Box folders through right click on context menu of Box Folder, when Box Drive is online. It's not efficient to go into Box Online to do this .

Improve Box Drive memory usage
Box recommend 4GB of RAM as minimum system specifications. But 4GB of RAM is not enough since Box Drive tends to use more than 1GB memory when a user open folder which has a lot of items. Therefore the fetching function should be improved to run efficiently on 4GB of RAM

Box Drive status bar icon
When clicking the "box" icon pinned to the windows status bar, it opens up a search pop-up. Using Box Sync, clicking the icon pinned to the status bar would open up a new windows explorer window.
With box drive, you have to right-click the icon, then click "open box folder". I would like the option to change this to function like Box Sync did.

Add refresh button to Box Drive
Add a refresh button to Box Drive above the Log out option in the system tray. When our users experience Box Drive red marks on their folders we always tell them to log out and log back in to refresh the folders. It would be nice if there was a refresh button.

Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user group basis.
Allow/Disallow apps on a per role or user/group basis. This could be for mobile apps, Box Drive, etc. Really make the control more granular than just all on/off for the Enterprise.

Granular Permissions for allowing Box Drive and MFO
Granular Permissions for allowing users to access Box Drive and allow them to mark content for offline use.
Similar to the way sync functioned, it would be good to have per-user permissions for Box Drive and MFO.

Simplify Box Experience Per Design
Currently, my firm has Box Drive integrated to our Salesforce CRM. What would help simplify and in the end optimize our experience by minimizing errors is to be allowed the option to remove the top search bar banner and the documents file path from the Salesforce instance. Limiting the access to other files from one contact to another can also help prevent accidental file modifications. Hope this can be of benefit to other Box users!

explorer copy direct link
Explorer/Finder Context Menu "Share direct link".
Currently the context menu for files in Box Drive only handles copying to the clipboard the Shared Link. We want to restrict the use of Shared Links as much as possible and would prefer if Explorer/Finder would copy the direct link, which is the one that opens when we click "View on Box.com".

Multiple users being able to update an Excel spreadsheet at the same time. i.e. Shared workbooks. using Box Drive.
This would be a highly advantageous as I believe there are many other customers that would benefit from this.

Default Column Size for all Folders
Currently the default column size in Box Drive for the Name column is very small and users have to resize the name column in each folder. Is there a way to apply a default column size for all folders in Box Drive for all users?

Ability to exclude syncing certain files by type.
Box Drive - exclude syncing certain files by type. I use several software that use this lock file approach and the lock files should NEVER be synced. (sometimes for size reasons, sometimes for frequent uploads and deletes)

exit
Leave "marked for offline" files reachable by a folder on the hard-drive when you exit Box.
It would be nice if the existence of "non-offline" files was still shown, just that they wouldn't be openable.2 votes -
Set up the Box Drive installer so the user gets to Single Sign On (SSO) by default
There are quite a few steps when logging in to Box when installing Box Drive. It'd be helpful for us if the users could get to the SSO window directly instead of first having to enter their email address and then click the (not so obvious) ”Sign In with SSO” link.
It'd also be great if the ”NORDUnet Box Service” could filter away the list of services based on the domain name in the email address the user just typed, especially since typing the name of the institutin and and then ”enter” (which I know one isn't supposed since the…
