Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box
The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

Ability to Make Specific Folders Persistent in Box Drive
In order for some of our CADD standards to work properly we have our users marking a specific folder for offline use. It would be nice if there was an admin setting to mark specific folders to be precached or persistent in Box Drive for specific users or groups.

Organize Folders that are shared with me
I use box drive on Mac and my main finder window is cluttered with folders that have been shared with me and there is no way for me to organize these folders. I have 50 folders that I use maybe once a year in the same spot as a folder that I use every day. Being able to rehome those folders off of the main screen would be a huge plus.
Currently it feels like a messy desktop that I have no control over.

Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.（BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする）
When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.

BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。
検索結果から次々とファイルを確認するためには、再度BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示させねばならず操作が煩雑である。
これをポップアップウインドウにし、閉じるボタンをクリックするまでは非表示にしないようにしたい。1 vote -
Ability to Dismiss Error Messages Not Just Retry
Error messages show up every morning and there is no way to clear them other than to Retry them. They are legitimate errors where the solution was to do something different, which I did, and my initial issue was resolved. However, these error messages persist, and retrying them will always produce the same error. There is no “dismiss” option. Since retrying them will will always produce the same error, there is no way to get rid of these errors.
Box Support documentation gives no other option but to Retry. There is nothing listed about clearing messages that cannot be resolved…

Request: flexibility of the pop up which notify in advance Drive users when moves of large #s of contents at once
This release is good news for us because we have a lot of Box Drive users.
https://support.box.com/hc/ja/articles/35422037930643This is additional improvement request,but it is much appreciated for us that Box admin can set #s of contents when the pop-up message is displayed to Drive users. sometimes end-users accidentaly move folders which are many users are collaborated and critical for business. So we want to display the message even if the #s of contents' are smaller than 8000.

Enhancing MIP Integration: Applying DLP Policy Controls to Box Drive Access
We use Microsoft's MIP integration (DLP policy application).
Currently, DLP policy controls are not applied when opening from Box Drive.
This makes MIP integration pointless and poses security problems.
It is desirable for DLP policy controls to be applied even when opening from Box Drive.＜MIP 統合の強化: Box Drive アクセスへの DLP ポリシー制御の適用＞
Microsoft社のMIP連携（DLPポリシー適用）を利用しています。
現在の仕様では、Box Drive から開く場合には、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されません。
これでは、MIP連携を利用している意味がなく、セキュリティの観点で問題があります。
Box Drive から開く場合にも、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されるのが望ましいです。13 votes -
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.

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.6 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
