Need Tags in Mac Finder to be Supported in Box Drive
After installing Box Drive, you have to re-tag all of your folders in Finder. As if that is not annoying enough, the folders you tag (colored circles) don't show up when you click on the tags in the sidebar of Finder. Bottom line, Box Drive needs to support Tags in Mac OS' finder just like the Box Sync did.

MacOS color tags are not synced by Box, as they are purely an OS feature. However, you can mark Box files locally with color tags, and they will be visible in the native macOS search.
Thanks for your feedback!

Since I installed MacOS 12 Monterey, tags no longer works in BOX drive files. TAGS work in other regular files, it just doesn't work anymore in Box files.

Our whole organization uses Box and its my primary back-up, without supporting tags, there is no good way to keep all my high priority folders (especially my working files) on the top of the list and appear the same way. Please take care of Mac users BoxDrive

I used to have this feature in Mac Finder and Box Drive for years without a problem. Why is this taking so long to fix this ?

Would not have switched to Box Drive until I absolutely had to if I had know I would lose all my tags. It was a life saver to keep track of my highest priorities for work.

just been forced to change from sync to drive. This still seems to still be an issue?
At least in Sync I could filter which folders were on my machine with the sync/unsync option. Now I have tons to look through for my favs. -

Has this been resolved yet? I just got Box, and I am finding the absence of tags frustrating. I use tags daily. If this is not a feature available on Box Drive I will have to move back to Dropbox.

Agreed. Tag syncing has worked for so long in so many sync apps (dropbox, box sync, onedrive) that I didn't even stop today to consider that it wouldn't work. This has resulted in a serious disruption of my day's work, as I was using tags to track status on a large folder full of in-progress documents. Frustrating.

I agree that Box drive needs to support the tags in Mac Finder app - without the need to go to Box Web App to search files.
Even when I tag my files in Box Drive, Mac Finder does not see them.
P.S. DropBox does it and Mac Finder app sees the tags in DropBox folder (but doesn't see the tags in Box Drive Folder in my Finder)
