Box Drive (Windows) - Remember folder view settings
We’ve been using Box Drive since launch, and it’s been an incredible improvement in our workflow. Only a small issue has made it notably less useful in saving time, and is a known issue documented here (community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues..)
Our file name and directory lengths are wider than the default for Box Drive/Windows. Normally Windows remembers preferences around column width, but in this case, as you know, Box Drive does not. This causes us to have to manually resize the “Name” field in every folder/directory, every time we access one. Therefore each user is having to do this perhaps dozens of times a day--- a lot of unnecessary time wasted.
Of course, Box Drive solves so many problems in our workflow that this is a relatively small nuisance--- but possibly one of the most important issues outstanding to us for future development with the Box Drive application.
Thanks for your hard work on this project--- it’s much appreciated and valued.

Couldn't agree more.
Every single time you open BOX Drive in Windows you have to resize all the columns widths....I thought this was a Windows Explorer setting, but it's obviously not.

This would be SO helpful. It is quite a waste of time day after day adjusting column widths.

+1. See forum post going back to 2017 requesting this capability. This should add 50votes min by default.
