Show who has locked a file in Box Drive
In the Webapp you are able to see who has locked a file, in Drive you cannot see this unless you navigate to the web. Heavy Drive users/customers require this information in the Drive UI

Really need a better way for individuals to organize folders on their Box Drive
I see some ideas under consideration, and amazingly adding Collections to Box Drive is not one of them. Box Drive urgently needs a better way for individual users to organize contents without affecting the online heirachy for everyone else

When using box drive, I would like to update the specifications so that control (move / delete) is possible so as to prevent accidentally moving the folder to an unexpected location.

Allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups
I have found it inconvenient that Box Drive can only be enabled or disabled for all users uniformly.
I believe that allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups would provide more flexible operation. Implementing this feature could enhance security and operational efficiency. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.

Open the linked file in the notification email in Box Drive.
When we receive a notification about a folder or file, click on the link in the email and we will be redirected to your browser.
For users who mainly use Box Drive, being able to transition only to the Web is an added hassle.
We would like to be able to open files linked to in the notification email in Box Drive as well.(日本語)

Box Drive Login Authentication status window
User would like to have a status window to display the authentication process of Box Drive. This would make it more visible to the more basic users since the login process only shows in the system tray icon.

Improve navigation of Box Drive for Windows
This is a request to improve the navigation of Box Drive. In Windows Explorer, after a user opens a folder, he can go back to the next higher level folder using "backspace" on the keyboard or "Left Arrow ←", but at this time, the last selected folder is selected and displayed. If a user performs the same operation on Box Drive, the user will be taken to the screen of the folder scrolled below the selected folder, but not 100% of the time. This happens when the user opens the folder several times and returns by backspace repeatedly…

View Owner/Creator of Files in Box Drive
We would like the ability to display accurate information about the Owner/creator of files within Box Drive for Windows. The Owner column in Windows was used prior to our migration to Box to show who originally created the file for a folder all in a single glance. Although Box.com shows the upload history of individual files, it's a manual process of viewing each file-- a pain point-- compared to the table view of File Explorer with the Owner column displaying. Currently, within Box Drive/File Explorer, the Owner column is empty. This would be useful for the users to…

Log HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY Usage in Box Drive (Windows)
On Windows, we encountered prolonged troubleshooting with Box Drive because setting the HTTPPROXY and HTTPSPROXY environment variables led to unexpected proxy usage.
While it is widely known in the Python ecosystem that these environment variables can influence program behavior, the impact on Box Drive was not obvious and made diagnosis difficult.
Could you consider enhancing Box Drive’s logs to output a list of the environment variables it reads (e.g., those related to proxy configuration) so that issues like this are easier to identify?

Trigger a Box error when insufficient permissions to open a file in Box Drive
Right now, if you attempt to open a file from your Box Drive that you do not have download permissions to, it will throw a local application error and not a Box error indicating a permission issue.
From the end user perspective, this would indicate there was something wrong with this file or Box Drive failed to open.

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.

I would like shortcut files created on Box Drive to be reflected on Box Web as well.
I am aware that shortcut files (.lnk) created in Box Drive (on Explorer) are ignored as a file type and cannot be synchronized.
However, in my work, I use Box Drive a lot and sometimes create shortcuts, but I can't share them because they are not synced, and they are deleted when I log out of the system.
I feel this kind of specification is very inconvenient.
I would love to see you respond to make this happen.(Japanese)
Box Drive(エクスプローラー上)で作成したショートカットファイル(.lnk)は、
無視されるファイルの種類として対象となっており同期が出来ないことは認識してます。
しかしながら業務上、Box Driveの利用が多くショートカットの作成することがありますが、
同期されないことで共有もできず、またログアウトしたことで削除されてしまう。
このような仕様だと大変不便に感じてます。
実現に向けて是非対応してほしい。105 votes -
Updating versions from Box Drive seems to be critically broken
Saving over files in box drive used to update cloud with a version, it seems this is being ignored, and cannot be trusted when checking if this update is committed to the cloud. Things have gone seriously wrong with Box Drive integration every since macOS Ventura upgrade.

Please make sure that Box Drive automatically launches after every update.
If an update occurs before Box Drive launches when I start up my PC, Box Drive will stop launching automatically. This is especially true for Box Drive versions based on the new architecture, where I might not even notice that it hasn't launched, so I'd like it to launch automatically.

Box Driveアップデート後に必ずBox Driveが起動するようにしてほしい

Ability to see and access bookmarks in Box Drive
Bookmarks: I store a lot of bookmarks in Box. This bookmarks are not visible in the folder structure on my laptop (links seems not to be stored as files). As a consequence e.g. bookmark titles are only searchable via Box browser interface but not via Windows search functionality within explorer

Fix "missing" files bug in Box Drive
Please fix the "missing" files bug with Box Drive which has been an issue for years. I'm honestly getting tired of having to tell my users to log out and log back in to clear app cache to fix the issue. It keeps happening after updates. I don't understand why this is so unreliable.

Make Box Tags visible in Box Drive (on Windows)
We have used Tags extensively to categorise content in Box, it would be great now that we have moved to Box Drive that these are visible against the folders displayed in here too.
