Box Drive IO performance abysmal
The performance of box drive read/write operations is sometimes a bit slow (10%) and other times abysmal.
Based on tests, scrubbing through timeline in an editing software like premiere pro is jittery whereas it is fast on onedrive which I believe does delayed sync and doesn't impact IO that much.
When unzipping a file containing numerous files and folders however the performance is so bad that it's not doable, it's in the neighborhood of 40x slower so a throughput of 140 MB/s turns into 3MB/s
recommended actions: optimize IO of the mount point, providing option to turn off on the fly encryption, adding option to delay the reaction of the syncing mechanism

The file syncing on box drive is very slow. When one user updates or adds a file it takes several minutes to show up on another users box drive. And there is no way to force the sync.

Recently BD has become very slow accessing larger folders. It's hard to imagine this since it's not many folders, mainly one. I'm told by your tech circle that there's no fix. The symptom is if I click a folder and start to dive into the next it doesn't show for almost 15-20 seconds. Before it was instant.
