My start page is getting bigger and bigger and I'm more busy searching for the right folder that to look at my files...

Very annoying to handle around huge number of files, way not to add an option not to present it? it's elementary...

Does anyone at Box actually use this product?

Hard to believe this is a trivial to implement five year old request with 500+ votes and it still doesn't exist. Managing Box is incredibly painful due to this. I have THOUSANDS of shared folders all polluting my box drive and no way to get rid of them.

I just accidentally dragged my main personal folder to one of the shared EXTERNAL folder that I have Editor access to in Box Drive's main folder. It does not ask for any confirmation for moving items from non-collaborative to collaborative (even external) folder. I pressed ctrl+z to 'get back' for folder but it did not register to Box server. If I could hide unwanted folders that I have access to, I could've prevented it from happening or keep the damage at a reasonable level. I consider it as a potential security flaw that may lead to much worse consequences.

I have same issue; during the years several folders were been shared with me and now ony few of them could be useful to be available on my file manager (as "online only").
What is synced (available Offline) for sure I need and only few of not synced (available online only).
Then would be really useful switch on/off the visibility on File Explorer.

Why is this "Under consideration" after 2 years? It appears as the second Top idea in your site, after the Linux client for Box drive, which you do not plan to implement. Why is nobody working on this and why it is not already implemented? How many comments are necessary in these two years? Obviously, we will not forget about that future and continue requesting it!

Any update regarding this feature?

What's the hold up on this feature?

Is there an update on this request? Is this feature still being considered after two years? It would make so many people's lives so much easier to navigate!

As an admin, I would love the capability to specify what folders can be accessed in Box Drive. I currently do not allow Box Drive in my org specifically since I can't control that.

This is a long overdue update. Box Sync was great with this and my whole team would appreciate this function of having only specific synced folders/files viewable on our local computers.

I have folders that I can't remove myself from because they're shared with a group, but I don't want to see them

I cannot find my files in finder because it's cluttered by everyone else's files that have recently been updated.

For security reasons, some folders would be better not shown on local computers via Box Drive. If the computer is hacked, a malicious agent can exfiltrate data shown in Box Drive just as any local data could be exfiltrated. It would be better if we were able to designate a folder as not available on Box Drive if it contains sensitive data that does not need to be accessed every day. The folder would be accessible through the online portal but not through Box Drive. This is reproducing a functionality that was available in Box Sync where a folder could be set to not sync. It would be best if this setting was controllable by the folder owner.

On my desktop Box Drive, can I see only folders where I'm owner not all the folders where I'm just viewer or Editor. I would prefer to view other folders where i'm not owner on box web. This will make less clutter on my desktop.

I have collaborations that have been forced by my organisation and cannot be deleted. These are visible on Box Drive and I would like to hide them. / 組織で強制的に作られた、削除できないコラボレーションがあります。これはBox Drive上に表示されており、私はこれらを非表示にしたいと思っています。

PLEASE! We need this option.

Get this released stat! Too much clutter with all of my folders visible. I only use about 5% of my total folder population on a regular basis so ease of access is hindered.

During iOS reinstall by my company, they replaced Box Sync with Box Drive. I didn't realise this at first and couldn't understand why I suddenly had a long list of folders I never use. Now that I understand, I have switched back to Box Sync, as Box Drive is just adding clutter without value! If I want to see all folders, I will go to online platform; but on my desktop I want to be in control!

I could not agree more with these comments. I am not concerned with every folder my company has created, only the ones that are pertinent to me, so Drive adds to the clutter, rather than reducing it.
