Box Drive specification improvement request
Box Drive is downloading a large amount of event streams, which can overwhelm company's network bandwidth. Due to the network bandwidth pressure, the business other than Box has been affected, so please take measures.
Here are the details:
Box Drive is likely retrieving folder and file events that the logged-in user has access to, but is aware that there may be a large number of event downloads in the following cases, for example:.
・A specific user performs bulk operations on a folder in which many users are collaborating. (All events are downloaded to Box Drives of all collaboration users)
In addition, Box Drive receives information on all events that occurred during the stoppage at the next startup of Box Drive, so if you stop your PC at the end of work, all events that occurred during the stoppage will be downloaded when your PC starts up (Box Drive starts up) the next morning.
Because the start time is almost the same for all users, the communication load increases rapidly at that time, causing problems. Due to the problem of this Box Drive, business other than Box has been affected, so please urgently improve it.
