Box Drive Install - Convert Synced Files/Folder to Marked for Offline
After installing Box Drive, the items that were previously synchronized with Box Sync should marked for offline. It is a disincentive for my team to have to resync all these folders. Additionally, the synced link on the web interface does not seem to serve a purpose since it does not reflect the items now marked for offline.

Add the ability to mark a folder for offline use (for viewers) when files have watermarks
In a folder where I'm a viewer, I marked the folder for offline use and a check mark is displayed on the folder, but when I look at the files all have an exclamation point, indicating an error and cannot be viewed offline

Clear cache after set period of time
We'd like to enable users to install Box Drive but need to make sure the cached content is deleted when they leave even if Box Drive is not uninstalled from their device.

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.

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.

Android File Association Fix
On Android, other apps prompt you to "open with" when opening a file there is no association for (ps1, vbs, lang of your choice). However Box makes no such prompt. Please update Box Android to offer an "open with" dialog like other apps have.

Synchronize Single Files in folders
We want the ability to synchronize individual files in a folder to the desktop rather than entire folders, allowing us to accelerate what is available in the WebUI faster.

Box Drive app more easily accessible
It would be convenient to have an install Box link located in the Help menu or my Account icon similar to Dropbox. Even still, when I navigate to the Box App Center I have to go to Box Drive, scroll down to the respective OS and install. It sounds tedious but I needed to install Box and Dropbox on a bunch of computers and was reminded how the Box user experience still doesn't hold up to Dropbox. Neither is perfect and both have great features but I always feel like Box makes me take steps I don't need or doesn't…

Open in Box Drive
Ability to click a link that opens the current web box folder on the local Box Drive. This would allow for quick local file editing when you navigated to the folder via web Box.

make linked files visible in Finder on desktop
Linked files are only visible in the web version of Box, and not visible on the desktop with Box Drive. This defeats the purpose of having linked files since the majority of users are accessing Box through Box Drive on their desktop. Please update!!!

Add functionality to view all folders set to "Make available offline"
I would love to be able to see which folders are currently set to "make available offline". I need free up space regularly.
Or a feature to see how much space box is taking up on my machine and what folders are using the space. Similar to storage on a Mac.

Box Drive & Box Shield
Currently Box Shield classifies copy & pasting within Box Drive as downloading which results in a false alarm notification. It would be great to be able to see the difference between moving files and actually downloading files from a Box report.

Enabling external links/references in excel workbooks
In Excel any external references (e.g. in macros or other workbooks) are disabled, for data driven companies who use excel heavily it would be ideal to have these functions available in box drive. Using Box online can be limiting.

prevent file download to local drive for editor
We would like to have the ability to prevent a user with editor access from being able to download the shared folder content.
According to https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/13404788095507-Restrict-download-access, it seems not possible.Our goals are:
- Allow them to create files/folder, and to edit them from within the Box drive.
- Prevent them from downloading the files into their local drive and take it with them.As a security measure of data loss prevention.

Make external folders more obvious in Box Drive and Box Web
Currently internal and external folders are comingled in Box. Although collections can help organise data in the web app, for those who predominantly use Box Drive this could potentially lead to a DLP issue, particularly where the internal and external folders have nearly identical names. In both Box Drive and Box Web it would be great to be able to choose your own colour coding for these folders e.g. anything external showing red, or the ability to group all of your external folders under one main EXTERNAL folder.

Automatic Size All Columns to Fit for Box Drive
It would be great if all columns in the box drive could be automatically expanded so that file names are not cut off. This feature is available in another product that we used.
