Archive folders
Ability to manually or automatically archive folders that have not been modified for a while. The Archived files are searchable, but don't appear in normal file system (similar to how Gmail's archived emails don't show up in Inbox, but can be searched)

Auto select search text upon opening Box Drive
When I Press Shft+Ctrl+Alt+B to activate the search function, the previous search text is in the search bar. It's highly unlikely I'm going the same search a 2nd time. The text should auto highlight, so I can just start typing for the next search. Currently you have to manually select the text to overwrite.

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.

Icon or Warning Message to display when MFO using Box Drive would be helpful to collaborators
Is there a way for an icon or warning message to display when users mark a folder for offline use or when a file is marked for offline use? This would really help since multiple people might be viewing and editing the same file and if someone is already working on it offline, then we wouldn’t want to make changes and override it.

Ability to sync individual files,
The ability to sync an individual file would be very useful. I often just need a few files if i'm on a flight for example and don't need the whole folder. Copying into a new folder just to sync an individual file is not a great solution.

Remove the Sync icons in Webapp after uninstalling Box Sync
After transitioning from Box Sync to Box Drive (and uninstalling Sync), the “Marked for Sync” icons on the webapp should be removed to avoid user confusion on how syncing works with Box Drive.

Set number of files displayed

Silently sign in users to Box Drive using their Windows Credentials.
“Enable silent account configuration. For info, see Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync client with their Windows credentials. If a device is not already joined to Azure AD, enabling this setting will join it.”

Disable background sync of Box Drive (for throttled or metered connections)
See below for link and post in the Box Community.
This feature would allow background syncing to be turned off for Box Drive. Because MFO and caching are stored in a "container" that is only available while Box Drive is running - there is no way to access MFO files while connected to a bandwidth limited internet connection. You either are forced to background sync or not have access to your MFO files.
Disable Box Drive background syncing for low bandwidth connections
I've (mostly) adapted to using Box Drive instead of Box Sync.But a key feature that was…

Make Box Tags visible in Box Drive (on Windows)
We have used Tags extensively to categorise content in Box, it would be great now that we have moved to Box Drive that these are visible against the folders displayed in here too.

Remove collaborators from certain sub folder
We need some enhancement on the removing collaborator for certain sub folder. For example I grant Amy to the parent folder which consists of sub folder A, B & C. However, I want Amy to only view sub folder A & C. Thus, I need to remove her name from sub folder B but BOX doesn't allow me to do so. My suggestion to at least add a function in order for the owner of the folder to remove collaborators for certain sub folder. Thank you.

MFOffline/MFOnline multiple folders at once
I'm dealing with tons of folders so it would be great to have this option. Need the ability to select multiple folders and mark them all at once.

Lock/unlock sub-folders at will
Product enhancement request: Create one main link to access a folder and its sub-folders, yet block some sub-folders from being downloaded. Benefit to user is that I can load all files at once, yet allow access only when I choose to. I can provide the link to users once. This saves me time and reduces confusion. An example of how this is being used is for a product launch where some files have been approved for distribution and the others have not yet, but will be “released” later in the week.
Example:
· Create Folder 1
· Underneath is sub-folders…3 votes -
