About BoxDrive upload error notification messages
<BoxDrive upload error notification off function added>
Regarding the desktop notification method when a BoxDrive upload error occurs,
From version 2.41 onwards, a message similar to a Windows notification may be displayed.
I would like each user to be able to set whether or not to display the message.supplement:
Since it was not displayed until now, past errors are accumulated,
Since the accumulated amount is displayed as a message, some users may have more than 200 messages displayed, and the messages will be displayed periodically until they are resolved.
Since it will take time to resolve the error, I…1 vote -
Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory
Box Drive should ignore files would be in a hidden folder/directory. For example, this file has a parent folder that is named ".Rproj.user" which starts with a dot.

Box Drive does not work with my new MS Surface Pro 11 with the ARM Snapdragon processor. Please develop a version of Box Drive that will work with this processor and Windows. More new computers will have it and it is a big problem for me not to be able to easily access my Box files.

Direct transfer tool on macOS from connected NAS to Box online, bypassing the local drive cache
Our scenario is a NAS with 80TB worth of data on it. Mac-only environment.
I know about the standalone transfer tool available on Windows, but this is no option for our macOS environment.
Box Shuttle (cloud) is not an option to get this data onto Box, either as it can't connect to our NAS direclty (and it being in offline network segment).
Uploading in 1 go from the web portal fails miserably.
Drag'n'drop from NAS to connected Box Drive client fills up disk space beyond capacity.
Copying files from my NAS to Box Drive requires a tedious, manual process due…

Prohibits operation of files and folders that have not been synchronized with the Box server（Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダの操作禁止）
When operating a file or folder that has not been synchronized with the Box server, the update contents may not be reflected on the Box server and may be lost. To prevent this, we would like to have an optional function that prohibits users from operating a file or folder until it has been successfully reflected to the Box server.

Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダを操作すると、Boxサーバに更新内容が反映されず消失することがある。これを抑止するために、正常にBoxサーバに反映が完了するまではユーザの操作を禁止するオプション機能が欲しい。2 votes -
Display of confirmation message screen to prevent accidental operation of Box Drive
When using Box Drive, it is common for users to accidentally delete, move, or copy files.
When manipulating large numbers of files, this failure can lead to serious information leaks and other problems.
Therefore, it would be helpful to improve functionality such as displaying a confirmation message when deleting, moving, or copying files to better prevent accidental operations.2 votes -
Optional functionality when creating “shared links” directly from “box drive”
When creating a “shared link” directly from a “box drive”, there is no ability to set an expiration date or password. It would be desirable to be able to set them for the purpose of preventing the creation of open links from reducing the level of security.

install and syncronize box in a chosen folder
I am windows user. I wanted to install box and syncronize my box files in my local D: drive, because my C: drive is full. Surprisingly, the installation process of Box app does not provide such an option (of selecting which drive to install Box to). It by default is installed on C: drive . This is very insane. Windows Users can choose to install which drive to install any app.
My C: drive is full, and I want to syncronise everything both in cloud and in local computer, but i cannot do so because C: drive is full, and…

Display the person who is holding the lock.（ロックを取得している人を表示）
Since it is not displayed who is locking the file, it is unclear who has obtained the lock. Being able to identify this will allow us to request the person holding the lock to release it.

Display a dialog to confirm the intended operation.（操作が本意かを確認するダイアログ表示）
I often accidentally move or delete files and folders in BoxDrive. To help prevent these mistakes, it would be beneficial to implement an option that displays a confirmation dialog before moving or deleting items. This would be a great help to many users.

Explorer
When you open a folder in Explorer format and use BackSpace to go back from where you opened it, the opened folder will be hidden from view in the reduced window. If there are only a few displayed items when you return, there is no problem because you can see everything, but if there are a lot of files and folders (more than can be displayed in the reduced window), some of the objects visible in the window will be displayed. , it goes out of its way to be one of the topmost files and folders. why?

Remove Box Drive path limit 260 characters in Windows
Support longer than 260 character paths in Windows for Box Drive as this not a limitation in Windows but a limitation in Box Drive
Due to Box user rights logic, we often have very long folder paths and file names. Our all workstations are Windows 10/11 workstations. Most of our users prefer the Box Drive solution over the Box.com web app.
This leads to a situation where often paths in Box Drive are longer than 260 characters.
Windows supports MAX_PATH which lifts the 260 character restriction: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry

We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.
We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.
Currently, BoxDrive shows a prompt for file locking every time a file is opened.
This is particularly disruptive when opening multiple files simultaneously.We would like administrators to have the ability to turn off this prompt through settings.

Sometimes when working with AutoCAD files, the external references in the CAD files lose their path.
It would be great if the external references (external files) are kept in the CAD file and not lose their paths. (I do wonder if this is happening because the path is too long).

Disable offline access for specific folder
We would like to have a feature to disable Box Drive offline access for specific folders. Our users try to download the whole department folders and sensitive folders without realizing it. This is causing issues with disk space and compliance and there is no way to control this at the folder level, as Editor will have default access to download all files offline.

I want to set the file update interval to every 5 seconds.
Box Drive accesses the BOX servers every second, so 10 million access logs are logged per month. To control this, we would like to be able to set the update time of files and folders.
