Remove folder from desktop
I would like to be able to not have the Box folder sitting on my desktop and only sit in the Finder's sidebar, along with GSuite, or Creative Cloud for example.
The reason for this is: 1 it adds clutter to the desktop. 2 on Macs, having folders and files, especially big files there, actually will slow down the performance of the computer. Not many people realize this. The items on the desktop are constantly being pinged by the computer using resources.

Box Drive on my windows PC puts a Box Folder icon on my desktop any time it is running. It's not a shortcut, so I can't delete it. If I drag it to the recycle bin, it will delete everything in my Box folder. Please add an option to hide this icon or toggle it on/off. Same with the tray icons. I use Box as a drive letter. I don't need 5 different ways to open it that I can't turn off. Please give me flexibility to clean up the look of my system.

Please remove the need for box to have a folder on my desktop. It doesn't match my workflow and clutters my desktop. No other syncing services demands to put a big and ugly and useless folder on my very clean desktop.

The only way for me to get rid of the folder on my desktop is to quit Box altogether. So that is what I shall do. With DropBox and Google Drive, for example, sitting ready in my Finder sidebar, they will always be my first options, and I will only launch Box if I need it. So as a result of this particular UI I will get far less use out of Box, if indeed any at all.
