Add Make Available Offline control to Explorer/Finder toolbar
We are pushing our users to start using Drive instead of Sync. Our helpdesk team brought up that they are concerned that the current UI for MFOing content (right click file, click “Make Available Offline”) is not intuitive for end users. They are requesting a button for “MFO“ to be surfaced on the top toolbar of the Windows Explorer window when an item is selected, so that the option is visible without having to right click the item.

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.

Add separate "status" column to Box Drive application
Box Drive has a known issue of overlay iconography sometimes not displaying after installed. This is affecting about 10% of our client installs and is an absolute headache and nightmare to resolve without registry updates.
This is caused due to the Box Drive apps's reliance on the "ImageList_SetOverlayImage" function in Windows which has a hard limit of 15 values. Thus Box Drive's icons "compete" with other cloud providers' icons on priority and is totally unsustainable as you are at the mercy of how other cloud providers code their software to take precedence over others in this list (by playing the…

adding code to end of URL so content displays expanded automatically when a folder link is shared.
Can you add some sort of feature so that we can control how content in folders display when we share folder links? Right now, content automatically displays in a list view and then you can zoom in to show a larger/expanded view of content.
Can you make it so that we can add code to the end of the url link that will make the content display in the expanded view automatically? Or is there another way to change the preferences so that when we share folder links it automatically displays the content expanded?
Thanks!

Make MFO content searchable locally via spotlight/finder. With Box Sync locally downloaded content can be searched and accessed via Automator workflows. MFO in Box Drive should mirror Box Sync to truly be considered "Made Available Offline".

Allow option to restrict offline data by file type
Allow us the option to prevent some files from downloading when a folder is made available offline based on file type.
For instance, when traveling I may need access to PDFs for a job, but not need access or have space to sync a 2.5GB video file.
Please allow us to restrict what files are synced by file type.

Force Box Drive to sync status with Box every time file is touched .
for example: User A locks a file, User B opens the file in drive (the lock status still hasn’t sync’d down user’s machine yet)
User B edits the file and tries to save but Drive will show that it wasn’t able to save back the change to box and creates a problematic file.
User B closes the file, and then reopens the file. The change User B made still shows up.
Onedrive checks for the latest status every time it opens a file or when you try to save a file it will sync status with what is in the…69 votes -
Option to prevent Drive from launching on startup by user
We are preparing to deploy Box Drive to our users using the Windows .msi. However we've found that after installation, the Box Drive window opens automatically for every user, every time they log into the computer. For users on a shared system who are not using Box, this means dismissing the window every login.
We'd like an option for Box Drive installation to not have the client launch automatically for all users. Or post-installation, allow the user to tell Box Drive not to open automatically for them. If the Box Drive client needs to run at login for every user,…4 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…

When copying a link that has a past due expiration date notify the user when they copy the link
When copying or emailing a link from Box Drive that has an already past due expiration date notify the user when they copy or attempt to email the link so they can update the link. That way the sender doesn't receive feedback about the link not working and appearing incompetent.

Manage default Box Drive install folder in Admin Console
To configure the Box Drive folder location, registry keys need to be pushed to all workstations. The customer would like it if there was a setting in the Box Admin Console where you could set the new folder paths for Windows and Mac, and then when a user logs into Box Drive, it would automatically update the registry. This would save admins from having to worry about new users or anyone they might miss with a manual push.

Box Drive: Change cache location
It would be really awesome to allow the box drive cache location to be placed somewhere other than C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Box\Box\cache, say on on a separate volume that doesn't consume space on C: (boot / application drive). Ideally I would like to place it on my second ssd D:

Drive: Available offline to specific folders and not enterprise wide
We would like to allow available offline for user drives only or work spaces. But network shares which is considerable larger shouldn't have this option. So If we allow admins the ability to choose what folders can be marked for offline instead of enterprise wide.

large file size zip
When using the Shared Link for large zip files the user is directed to the Box site (https://wi-fi.app.box.com/), then given an error and a download button to retrieve the file. The error displayed is "We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported."
When using the Direct link to share a large zip file, rather than the user being taken to https://wi-fi.app.box.com/ the file is downloaded directly to their browser download folder. This is a much cleaner user experience.
Would like to have the same download experience for the Shared link, as the Direct link.
