Set file to read only for users without editing permissions
Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download, edit files, and keep them personally.
Since we are giving these users permissions where they can't edit, we want to prevent this behavior by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it, download it, or save it (the file)

Ability to sync specific folder manually on Marking for Offline only if needed.
Ability to sync specific folder manually for Marking for Offline only if needed.
And, Drive should be added new icons for this.
When PC comes online, if the latest version is available, something icons on folders indicates you can get a new update on the folder.
it would be very helpful to notice them need to update on the folder.
This feature would help to reduce network usage between PC and Box.3 votes -

Don't ignore dotfiles. Allow users to specify names or patterns to ignore.
Many files that start with a period are not meant to be ignored (.gitignore, .emacs, .Rhistory, .RData). Box should ignore only filesystem-specific files such as .DS_Store, and sync everything else. Better yet, allow users to specify the filenames or patterns that should be ignored.

Popups
When someone who is not logged in and doesn't have an account uses a public link to a folder in order to download a file, they get a popup that says "Your download is in progress," but at the bottom it says "In the meantime, log in to Box to save files you view in your Recents and upload, share and comment on the content you care about most."
That text is very misleading and is confusing people when they're just trying to download files. Can I disable that popup? If not, I strongly urge you to revise the way…

Copy file name and URL and path for shared link
The "Copy Shared Link" action in Box Drive (or Copy button in the Share pop-up dialog in the Web UI) should copy more than just the URL.
It should also have the file name and the current Box path so when I paste the link into a chat or email message, it has all the information the recipient will want.<path> > '<filename>"

Ability that restrict to create a file/folder on the root folder and move/copy to the root folder on Box Drive
.Ability that restrict to create a file/folder on the root folder and move/copy to the root folder on Box Drive if their enterprise set "Restrict content creation"
Currently, we can perform operation create/move/copy in the root folder on Box Drive even though our enterprise set "Restrict content creation".
Of course, the files/folders are marked as problem items, but if we move to the folder directly under the root folder, it looks like they have been moved to the folder, so logging off from Box Drive or replacing with new device due to hardware issue may lead to lose some contents.3 votes -

Map Trash on Box.com to Box Drive App
This is very useful to users who deleted a file accidentally on Box Drive App to recover it without opening Box.com.
I once deleted one file through Box Drive, and it prompted that it would be deleted permanently and Stop me from undoing. I did not realize that it still can be retrieved from Box.com. If we have a Trash folder on Box Drive App that maps to the Trash on Box.com. That would be fantastic.

SQ1
I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro X and it uses a Microsoft SQ1 processor. Box Drive currently does not work with this processor. As we are rolling out these Surface Pro X's with our company it would be great to get box drive to work with the new SQ1 processor.

Bulk attach Box files via email
Having to add files to my email one at a time is a horrible user experience and a waste of time. Let me add more than one file at a time.

Select folders from hard drive to sync with box
Rather than syncing to a separate Box folder on my desktop, I would an application that would make it able to flag folders and files that already exist on my hard drive. I would very much prefer to be able to open my Windows Explorer and right-click on a folder and make a selection that would automatically sync that folder from where it is in my hard drive to Box.

Add separate "status" column to Box Drive application
Box Drive has a known issue of overlay iconography sometimes not displaying after installed. This is affecting about 10% of our client installs and is an absolute headache and nightmare to resolve without registry updates.
This is caused due to the Box Drive apps's reliance on the "ImageList_SetOverlayImage" function in Windows which has a hard limit of 15 values. Thus Box Drive's icons "compete" with other cloud providers' icons on priority and is totally unsustainable as you are at the mercy of how other cloud providers code their software to take precedence over others in this list (by playing the…

Enable opening of objects with long folder paths
In Box Sync, you were able to open files regardless of path length - there was sometimes an issue with saving long path files, but not with opening.
In Box Drive, you cannot open files with long path lengths...which is obviously a problem for any organization that uses a deep folder structure.
Solely seeking feature parody between box sync and box drive...
