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.

Yes please fix, this has been an ongoing issue since at least 2017.

Typically you just open the root folder, manually widen the name column width. Then click View tab->Options->View tab->Apply to folders->Yes->Ok. And all sub-folders will be updated.

Only this doesn't work with Box folders! So its extremely annoying having to manually widen the name column of every folder we open on a daily basis. Box is good, but this alone may drive the switch to alternatives.

Yes, please - this is a constant irritation and would be so helpful!

I only recently started using Box Drive and promptly learned how problematic the inability to properly resize Windows Explorer file Name column is. Annoying messages related to Box Sync's planned obsolescence, and comments from my IT, drove the switch to Drive. This unresolved issue may push me back to Sync. It's essentially a silly issue, but when it annoys this many customers a little more escalation is warranted. (The competition is knocking on the door.)
