Visual indicator of "Problem Items" in Box Drive taskbar icon.
Our users frequently have "Problem Items" or sync errors in Box Drive that they don't know exist. It would be incredible if the "box" icon in the task bar had a (red?) exclamation mark appear when there are persistent sync errors so that a user knows they need to check out the issues and fix them.
Otherwise they never know there are problems unless they happen to notice a red exclamation mark in the finder/explorer window if they are in the folder with the issue.

Manage Box Drive folders that sync with the Box.com - I have to uninstall Box Drive from all of my devices
Because I cannot select which folders to sync from Box.com, I cannot use Box Drive which makes going back to One Drive extremely appealing.
This seems like such basic functionality and it's very disappointing that Box didn't provide it - and actually took it away when moving from Box Sync.
My idea is for Box Drive to provide the same basic functionality that Box Sync had and One Drive and Google Drive and Dropbox have.

Admin-level alert notification on certain Box Drive permission errors
Users can create folders in Box Drive at the root level. In a closed folder taxonomy, the folder does not sync and fails with permission and/or problem item errors. If a user does not address the notification (or notifications are disabled), users can continue to create content in the unsynced folders. Icon overlays are also not reliable, so this will not be discovered until the content is lost due to hardware failure or software/OS reload. Consider alerting admins of these issues via the event stream or Shield-type alerts to prevent data loss, or disabling the creation of folders this way.

Survey Making Function on Box
Hello, It would be great to be able to create surveys and receive survey results using Box. That could be through an integration with Google Forms. It would be helpful to be able to create a Google Form within Box and then be able to download the results of the survey into a Spreadsheet also created or saved on Box. Thanks!

Ability to customize/configure the location of the shortcut to Box Drive folder on Windows.
We would like to have the ability to customize the location of the shortcut to Box Drive folder on Windows or to disable its creation.
Right now, the creation of the shortcut cannot be disabled or customized (just as the cache location cannot be customised), and it's always created under c:\users\username\desktop. This is not ideal for users who are not allowed access to userprofile folder.4 votes -

Box Drive - Prompt Users to Lock Files When Opening Files from Box Drive
For Box Drive, it would be nice to have the option to lock files when you take them offline. For example, when a you choose "Make Available Offline", Box could prompt you with "Do you want to lock these offline files?" So, you remember to lock the files while you still have online access to the them.

Display warning message on accidental uploads to specific folders
If a file is accidentally uploaded to a specific folder (viewer privileges granted) using BoxDrive, I would like the upload process to be stopped or a warning message to be displayed. Currently, files are displayed as if they were uploaded to the computer (locally) as a cache.
BoxDriveを利用して特定のフォルダ（ビューアー権限付与）へファイルを誤ってアップロード した場合にアップロード処理を停止or警告メッセージを表示して欲しい。 現状、パソコン（ローカル）上へファイルがキャッシュとしてアップロードされたように表示されてしまう。

Allow users to decide which context menu entires (right click menu) they want to see
I've never once wanted to 'Create a Box Note' or 'Search in this folder' yet they will take up two context menu spaces unless I can figure out some way to turn them off in the registry. Allow users to select what context menus pop up please! Otherwise it's a big waste of space.

Thumbnail & Quick View Support on Mac OS 12.4
I'm not sure why this isn't a feature, but it definitely should be! My team views a lot of art files and the lack of thumbnail and quick view support is a huge wrench in our workflow.

'Carrier Signal Flag'-like functionality on folder icons
When either a new file is uploaded or an existing file is edited in a folder, a small red flag pops up on the folder icon and stay up for a certain period of time to indicate the update.
It would save time and labour to routinely open the folder and sort files by 'Updated' timestamps in descending order every few hours to check for file updates which only happen once in a couple of days, for instance.1 vote -

Remove an invited collaborator's access on a per folder level
There are use cases where the content owners/co-owners would like the ability to remove an (external) collaborator's access to a folder on a specific date. Understanding that this can be configured at a global level (by setting timeframe), it would be helpful to have this on a per folder level as well.
This would be beneficial as various departments/users share data of varying sensitivity and in various use cases (such as sharing with an external contractor whose contract is for X months).

Request for the ability to not display specific folders in BoxDrive
BoxDrive is very convenient because it can be used as an explorer, but due to user operational error
folders or files may be moved to unintended folders.
Folders to be collaborated outside the company can lead to information leakage,
We request for improve that specific folders can only be operated and viewed with the Box Web Browser.(Japanese)

Disabling shared links after the link is viewed
Currently there is the option have the shared link expire on a specific date. It would be beneficial to also have a shared link be disabled as soon as it is viewed. Having a link that's "one-time use only" would be ideal in various use cases like sharing sensitive information.
Having this also be the case for invited external parties would be helpful.
