Improve performance of co-authoring in Box Drive
It takes 5 minutes or more for Box Drive to show co-authored changes. Even if that change is done by just one person. Basically , if a change is made by someone on a file and he closes the file, the file is not updated for about 5 minutes. When attached right away to a email, the attachment will still have the previous version.
These may be reflected in documents once opened, however, cannot be seen in the Box Drive window. The 'last updated' date and time does not reflect when a document has co-authored saved changes.
This is extremely disruptive for users as first thought is that edits have been lost causing business disruption, and it also does not allow for right file attachments with latest versions.
BOX Drive files should be updated in real time when a new version is saved, similar to the webapp version.
Co-Authoring was supposed to solve many issues holding us back from going all in for BOX. Now it is making us think of a new platform instead.
