Box closes when close an app on windows web
When opening an app, the close button on the top right of the app page, closes the entire page and exit Box (e.g., if Document or excel sheet is opened from Box Drive).
It would be better if the close button, closes the app and falls back to the main Box drive page.1 vote -
Please add Password Protection as a FREE feature
It's just a disappointmet to have password protection of your files as a paid feature. For me it's a deal breaker...

Direct Download Option from Right-Click Context Menu
Currently, when using the Box Drive on Mac Finder or Windows Explorer "right-click > Share > Copy shared link" only gives you the option for a share link that open to the web-browser preview page.
This is obviously not the preferred method for sharing files to people who need to download assets quickly.
Just give the option for "Copy shared link" and "Copy Direct Download link" in the context menu.
Thank you!

Add .dwl files to ignored file type list
Would really appreciate .dwl files (temporary files created by Autodesk apps) being added to the Ignored file type for syncing in Box Drive. Currently .bak files are there which within Autodesk apps we have the ability to repath anyways. With .dwl files, we have no control... they go in the same folder as the file. They are not always deleted as they should be due to Program crashes and end up cluttering the folders needlessly.

Collaborator files from Box Drive not showing up on Box.com
Ever since we updated our systems to macOS Ventura we've encountered many issues with Box Drive, now we are not seeing files from other collaborators that they report to have synced showing up on other peoples Drive or on Box.com at all. Box Drive has become unreliable lately, and users are being forced to manually upload files via desktop to ensure their files sync. Please fix!

Specify box drive location and cache location
Enable the option for users to specify Box Drive location.
Changing it in the registry is way too advanced for most users and easily fixable with a build-in feature.
Enable the ability to specify Cache location is also a must-have.

I am trying to see if I can lock down folders to prevent people from accidental moving or deletion.
In Box Drive (File Explorer), sometimes our users accidentally move folders into other folders, not realizing what they did. Then people cannot find what they are looking for. Is there a way we can prevent this? Or is there a way we can prevent this for higher-level folders? Or is there a way a user can receive a prompt along the lines of "Are you sure you wish to move this folder?"

Display warning if a document is open
Display a warning similar to read-only if another team member has a file open. Currently this is not possible without code installed at the individual PC level and there is no solution with MAC (just confirmed with support). The conflicting versions can be frustrating for teams and the tiny lock icon is just not a large enough warning when opening from box drive.
21 votesFor Office files stored in Box, we are enabling the capability coauthor in real-time with collaborators. This will eliminate issues that arise when creating conflict copies. For other files types that do not support coauthoring, we do not have a feature planned on our roadmap, to notify users when the file is locked outside of the lock icon that is displayed on the file in the Explorer/Finder view.
We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Ability to display and move the BoxDrive search window anywhere
The BoxDrive search window will be displayed according to your taskbar display settings.
We would like to be able to display and move anywhere with mouse operation or setting.

Pause and Resume Uploads or downloads to or from Box
The ability to Pause Downloads + Uploads so that Resource intensive tasks on other software can be carried out on a single computer/device without being slowed down by Box Transferring large amounts of data to/from the device to cloud. The ability to resume Downloads + Uploads after resource intensive tasks are completed.
Not everyone/every company has the budget to have expensive "workhorse" computers or Gigabit internet (not to mention a lot of places dont even have gigabit internet. (Im lucky enough to have access to both where I work and I STILL run into issues from time to time)

Allow login to Box Drive from different Microsoft account
It used to be possible to log into Box Drive from my work account whilst logged in as a different Microsoft user on the desktop. This has now stopped working and forces login via my desktop account. This means that Box Drive is now completely useless to me.

Allow resizeable/full-screen file search form
Actually the file search UX in Windows has a design giving priority to form over function, with a concept half-way resembling a tray application notification.
The problem with that is that the ridiculous window size most of the time trims relatively long file paths to the point of having on-screen indistinguishable search results for different files, if they are at somewhat deepth in the file tree. The smallnes brings also unnecesary scroll, and forces the pains of a self imposed real-state screen-space shortage, more proper of mobile devices but undesirable in desktop.
Let file search have the first class interface…

Ability to manually update a Box Drive version (menu option)
I would like to see version update added to the right-click menu of the app so that I can manually update when the latest version of BoxDrive is released.
Currently, Box Edit and Box Drive are designed to automatically update their versions, but depending on the user, the timing of implementation may be delayed or there may be cases where the version is not automatically updated.
In order to deal with this, we have to uninstall and reinstall the tool, which is very inconvenient.
Therefore, I would like to see version update added to the right-click menu of the app…8 votes -
Full Image Thumbnail Option
For the image thumbnails, is there a way to toggle the view, so that one can see the entire image vs. a cropped version? I've noticed a recent change where all thumbnails are cropped, and in order to view the full image you need to click to open each individual file, which is a less efficient browsing method. Is it possible to return to the previous viewing option to see the full image within each thumbnail?

Two User accounts on same Windows 10 computer
There should be a possibility that two users on the same windows 10 computer, each user separately logging into his/her own windows account, could each log into his/her own box account and use box drive. BoxDrive is much more convenient that to go via the browser. This seems not possible now.
Additionally it is annoying that the the box drive shows up for login when the second user enters the windows account, and if startup of box is switched off for that user, then it is also switched off for the main user (the admin user who has made the…1 vote
