The last suggestions does not really solve the problem for most of us. It requires downloading and running a program, which most of us can't do because we are at work and our work computers are locked down to prevent running external programs.

Box needs to fix this---it can't be a difficult fix.

Solved. Thank you to Les Ferch:

I was able to fix this issue once years ago when I had all our users get into their Box Drive folders at the same time, everyone changed their views to the same view, and everyone used Windows Explorer>View>Options>View>"Apply to Folders." The view setting stuck for 2 years until we added one new user. Now everyone's view settings are thrown off and all users have to change the view setting in every folder every single time. I do this literally 100 times a day because our filenames are longer than can be displayed in "Details" view. I don't want to cancel Box but holy cow over such a minor issue, but it becomes insanely aggravating when you realize every time you would double-click through a folder structure you actually have to change view settings (Ctrl-Shift-5) and then double-click. So many aggregated keystrokes.

5 plus years and simple, useful issue not addressed. TIme to cancel....

This definitely needs to be fixed. It is annoying to have to go and expand the folder view

Dropping in to also add support to the call to fix this incredibly annoying and time-wasting issue!! Come on Box Support! Please fix this!

SOLVED!! If you click View, Options, Change Folder and Search Options, click the View tab, then Restore Defaults, then Apply to Folders, then OK,........Box now seems to remember the folder view settings.

This is really becoming a productivity issue with our 161 users. Can someone at Box please correct this so that the folder view stays the same each time we access it. Not only do we have to resize the columns to read the details, but we also have to reorder the file name sort because it is always backward.

Just stopping by to say this still needs to be fixed, I see nothing has happened to fix the issue. Agree with everyone else it is very frustrating to have to manually resize the columns every time.

Please fix. It is unbelievably frustrating having to manually resize hundreds of folders so the column size is consistent and shows full names of all files.

Please fix!!!

Please fix this. My entire team deals with this constantly. It seems such a minor bug for Box to reduce a highly common user pain point.

Please fix. I'm a brand new user and am plotting my escape from Box as a result of this one issue.

Yes, please implement. It is hard to understand how this is not planned and how there is no comment from support on why. It is literally one of the top 20 upvoted request of all time.

Please reconsider addressing this. 149 votes and growing.
FYI, Dropbox for Desktop (v142.4.4197) has this figured out and it holds the Windows view settings.

Please fix this . we need to have columns resized automatically of BOX drive for windows

This is a huge waste of time. I cannot distinguish files in most folders due to long file names. It seems like an easy fix. This is one of the reasons I recommend my colleagues avoid Box--the markedly inferior interface compared to other cloud options with no noticeable benefit. But I have to use Box for a few colleagues whose employers don't seem care about their users productivity.

This cannot be a difficult fix!! Super time-waster!

Please fix this. very annoying

This appears to also affect more than just column width. Box Drive doesn't respect other folder view settings such as icon size, etc.
