Color coded shared folders for Box Drive
Need ability to determine what folders have been shared in Box Drive without having to revert back to the Web UI to verify if Blue/Yellow/Grey etc..

Yes! this would be very useful. Also, being able to identify which shared folders are MY folders that I share with others versus which ones belong to other people that are shared with me.

Yes!! Not having a visual indicator in Box Drive of when a folder (or file) is shared is a major failing of a file-sharing program. I only rarely sign into box.com because I have Box Drive on all my devices, and it's way too easy to accidentally delete something that shouldn't be deleted! It would be especially great if there were different indicators for "Shared - owned by me" and "Shared - owned by someone else."

This is a great idea. A way to separate private items and folders vs shared folders would also be a good enhancement. Try to keep the Drive app features up with the web app please.

This is a huge risk with Box Drive without a visual to indicate the privacy of folders. One drive is able to do this not only with color-coding but a separate Status column.

We have compliance issues with saving data outside of our Box.com tenant. We need to be able to distinguish between ours and others.

Even within the web client, any shared folder looks the same as any other (blue with the multiple silhouette graphic). It would be nice to be able to use a different color and/or graphic for folders (1) that I own in my personal account that are shared, (2) that someone else owns in their personal account that are shared with me, and (3) that are owned in a Shared Account and shared with me.

If I could vote for this 100 more times, I would! This has been my ONLY negative throughout using Box Drive, and it would be wonderful to be able to erase that criticism!

YES.... It is impossible to determine if a folder is a share or a personal folder within Box Drive. The web interface identifies this quickly by color, but Box Drive, does not.
To protect accidental data sharing, I've needed to train people to create/rename folders with names that have "(shared)" etc. in it so it is clear that others have access..

Couldn't agree more - it's extremely inconvenient having to log into BOX.com to review what files/folders have collaboration or SHARE URL access assigned to them.
It'd be great to see this as an icon or something similar in BOX Drive so you can easily edit or remove these settings quickly if need be.

Absolutely essential. We use SSO for BOX on the web for our enterprise, and its a real pain to figure out what is shared content or not when working offsite. At the moment I am stuck creating a separate folder in local BOX drive called COLLABORATION SHARED FOLDERS. To have these distinguished would help enormously when working remotely.
