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.

I support this enhancement 100%. I switched to Box Drive today but did not realize that I could not control which folders show in my Box Drive. I regret switching and may switch back to Box Sync.

I vote for this enhancement. We need to have control over our drive and to see a bunch of folders that have been shared with me yet I don't really need to access creates a tremendous amount of clutter!

This is an essential need. If I cannot move folders for which I am not an owner, then I need to hide them. I have 1000's of folders at the top level, all created by collaborators.

How is this NOT an option 2 years later!?!?!

I'm at a university. Students' private information is shared with me, but I don't want to have those files accessible on my computer. I share my home computer with my family and I have my computer in my research lab. I need to be able to unsync or un-share some folders with drive, as I was able to with Box Sync. Thanks!

Very important to reduce the clutter. Box is not usable if using Box Drive.

What is an update on this?

Why I vote for this: I wish to be able to use my Box Drive as a "working folder" for Box content that is currently relevant to me. I want to screen out the old business and the innumerable FYI collaboration folders I'm added to.

This is very useful, especially some admins wants to hide some externally collaborated folders (i.e. grey folders) from the users to prevent any accidents, such as accidental drag & drop of desktop items into external folder in Box Drive.

This would be a very valuable feature. For high-end production, the Box Drive cache information and behavior is quite simply a deal breaker. We have such a large file tree and Box Drive can only cache 25GB max of it by default (I know we can change that). How many files does that really cover? We now have to get in a habit of physically drilling down into the folders we need to preemptively "force-cache" them to keep them in the "recent" cache logs. "Making Available Offline" is not an option when that service is not allowed on an external hard drive like Box Sync. We are constantly double-guessing if files are actually in BD and have to go back and forth on the Web to make sure we're not losing our minds. In a fast-pace workflow, we ultimately do lose our minds. Then Box ecosystem acceptance disappears and users end up resenting it. Work simply stops, that cannot happen in any platform. Our users deal with hundreds/thousands of files daily. So basically we are asking the Box platform, its services and apps to do too much. Box Drive cannot handle it. We are now considering peeling apart all of our hard work to deploy a system that is a central hub for all users by separating archives from active work. That is backwards, any user should be able to find anything they need without asking anyone for permissions or help. We are considering putting back the very silos we worked so hard to destroy. Box engineers need to solve this now.

We could really use this feature for our employees.

What i have been forced to do is create folders that contain nothing but aliases of folders shared with me that are related to a topic....should be pretty straight forward to do this in some more automated manner using personal meta data on top of box.
