Folder Setting Limitations - Box Drive
We have folders for each office where they store their active and archived (old) jobs. These folders can can contain many hundreds of job folders (sub folders to the parent folder) representing hundreds of GB and even over TB in some cases of data. It is way too easy for users to simply check ‘mark for offline’ in Box drive or attempt to sync the folder in Box Sync.
When that happens we have custody of data issue for a ton of files. Further it allows people to easily steal data in bulk. Just in the past week we have…

Native Finder-search (MacOS) is mandatory
from your own web-page:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695774-Mac-Specific-Known-Issues-for-Box-Drive"Mac search tools, such as Spotlight, Finder search, tags , do not return search results from Box Drive. Use Box Drive's search functionality instead."
Box Drive is not fit for purpose, since it forces every single file-search in the user's home directory to be executed twice:
- once in the home directory
- then again using Box spotlight search
- then put the 2 Finder windows side by side and do a manual inventory - unbelievable
I frequently search my home directory. The poor search functionality is a major miss, affects my work badly
Please look to…

Keep third party's login token or credentials when logging out from Box Drive
Users need to log in to a web gateway before logging in to Box Drive.
If they log out, they need to login to the gateway again.
In WebApp, they don’t need to re-login the gateway after logging out from Box.
Therefore, Box should have any way to prevent this.

Add warning/prompt when moving your files to shared directory
It is possible to lose ownership of your own files by inadvertently moving them to a folder owned by a collaborator. This issue can be prevented by adding a warning or prompt before moving the file if the ownership of the file will be affected by the move.

Add image/file preview function via Mac QuickLook feature/Ability to move Box folder to an external drive
As creative professionals, my colleague and I intended to use Box to share/collaborate. Disappointed to learn that we cannot use Apple's QuickLook feature to quickly peruse our large image libraries nor can we preview documents (Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, etc). This is a feature every creative uses because it enables us to quickly get to what we need without having to open up countless files which takes a lot of time. Additionally, because we cannot preview files, we thought sync'ing our files to our local hard drives would be the answer but I just learned that I cannot move my…

Code scripts in MONOSPACE font type
Hi there,
I have several files, which are coding scripts; they are correctly recognised from browser side (.h, .m, .sh, etc...).
It would be absolutely USEFUL - both for reading and for sharing to my colleagues - to set the font to a MONOSPACE type one; the actual font is NOT GOOD for developers and for a correct viewing of code(s).
Is there any possibility to have this feature ?
Maybe a switch of fonts for single files, or - better - a monospace font associated to file extension(s).Thanks in advance. Giulio Rodonò.

allow Box Drive to be installed on only one profile of a computer, not all by default
I have Box Drive installed on my profile of my laptop, which causes issues when my partner logs into his profile - Box Drive tries to open and then hangs, causing delay for him to log on every time. I stopped it from opening on start-up but this change was applied to both profiles, meaning it is now slower for me to get into Drive on my profile.
I have reported this to Box Support and was told this was the default for Box Drive, that it runs on start up for all profiles and the only way to disable…2 votes -
Searching Sub-Folders
We have a user that asked the eblow question. They are referring to Box Drive folders that have been marked for offline use, as well as those in the cloud:
"I would like to see improvements in the Box Search capability within Windows Explorer. You cannot execute a search across sub folders within your Box Drive folder structure, only within the currently viewed folder. If I know what folder a file was in I have eliminated 90% of the reasons I need to search. I get the same search limitations for Cloud based folders and folders saved offline to my…

Not have to manually focus box drive search
With Box Drive, it used to be that when I press ctrl-alt-shift-b, I'd get the box popup with the search field focused with the cursor at the end of the last search I did.
Something's changed that now the input field is no longer focused. Now I have to click on it to type.
It used to be that I had to shift-home, backspace and then I could type a new search.
Best case scenario is that the search field should already be focused with the text highlighted so that I can immediately type or press enter repeat the last…2 votes -

Drag and drop web URLs to Box Drive folder in Windows File Explorer
Posting a request to add functionality to Box Drive that will allow drag and drop URLS from web browsers directly to Box Drive folder in windows file explorer.
Currently, it's possible to store web URLs in Drive if you save them to your desktop first. We would like the ability to skip this step and save URLs directly from Chrome for example to Box Drive.

Drive and Sync
It should be impossible to have both Box Drive & Box Sync installed and working on the same machine. An install of one should automatically be impossible until the other is removed from the machine.

DLP
When copying content from Box Drive to an external volume, Sophos DLP is unable to capture information about this event.
According to the Sophos team, this is a result of Box Drive relying on a legacy file system filter driver, CBFS.
It is suggested that Box update Box Drive to work with Windows file system minifilter drivers as opposed to CBFS. That way DLP could monitor and capture these events.
Statement from Microsoft regarding legacy file system drivers as opposed to minifilter drivers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/blocking-file-system-filter-drivers
