Help me find all the folders on my Box Drive that I have set to Offline.
I set some folders of images, PDFs and other assets I use a lot to 'Offline' in Box Drive, also for projects I'm working on. However, over time this means a lot of syncing to my drive or for security reasons I want to put everything to Online. I'd love a way to search for all folders that are set to Offline so I can set all or some back to Online. As an alternative, one button in Box Drive that puts all Offline folders back to Online so I know I'm 100% in the cloud again.

Shield Classifications Following Content in Drive
In Box Drive, the classifications do not follow the content. For ITAR customers, I can copy a file from ITAR folders (with a shield policy) to another folder for non-ITAR content and share it without restrictions.
This works in the web app, but not in Drive.

Have Box Notes Accessed via Drive Open in Box Notes Desktop Application
Right now, when a user opens a Box Note from Drive on their desktop, the note is opened in the webapp, rather than the Box Notes desktop app they have installed.
A better flow would be to have those notes open in the Notes desktop app instead

2-Factor Authentication for Drive
If a client has MFA/2-Factor Authentication required for all users, it would be great if Drive required similar additional protection to safeguard user content.

Provide a Command/API to Log Out from Box Drive
Background:
There is currently no command or API available to log out from Box Drive programmatically.Request:
We would like to request the addition of a command or API that allows users to log out from Box Drive remotely. This would be particularly valuable for enterprise IT administrators who need to immediately terminate Box Drive sessions and clear local cache in the event of a device theft.Use Case:
- Remote logout of Box Drive when a PC is stolen, to prevent unauthorized access to corporate data stored in Box
- Clearing the local Box Drive cache remotely to ensure…3 votes -

Extend 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance to Box Sign APIs to enable Part 11 Box Sign requests via Box Drive
As of Box Drive v2.43, Box Drive now integrates with Box Sign. However, this integration does not support Part 11 compliant signatures. Since Part 11 compliance is enabled and enforced for all users in our organization, this presents a risk, as users could inadvertently bypass this requirement when using the integrated Box Sign feature via Box Drive.
From Box Support "...when a user clicks on the "Send to Box Sign" option from Box Drive, Box Drive sends a "Signature Request" to Box Sign API. When the request is successfully processed, Box Sign API replies with “prepare_url” in response. We then…

Box Drive Notification
It would be nice to have a feature we can use to notify end users of the restriction to upload files at the root level in Box Drive. Right now we are depending on sync errors which can be easily dismissed by non technical users and I believe if a message was clearly displayed of the restriction It would cause less confusion and create a better user experience.

We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive.
We would like to change the icons for Box Drive to appear different for a shortcut vs network drive. We encountered an issue and confusion with Box Drive. One day, Box Drive didn't start up. We assumed that the shortcut icon on the desktop wasn't working properly. Therefore, we went to [C:\Users*UserAccount*] and found a shortcut icon which was exactly the same as the one on the desktop. We thought this icon was the shortcut to Box Drive, so we moved this shortcut icon to the desktop, and all of a sudden, the contents in Box were all moved to…

Enhanced File/Folder Deletion in Box Drive
Proposal: Allow users to delete shared files and folders directly through Box Drive (File Explorer) and ensure that this action also removes collaborators' access.
Current Limitation: At present, users must delete shared files and folders via the web interface on box.com. This is because Box Drive mirrors the contents of the box.com web app account, and deletions made in Box Drive do not remove collaborator access.
Benefits of Implementation:
Improved User Experience: Streamlining the deletion process will make it more convenient for users, eliminating the need to switch between Box Drive and the web interface.
Enhanced Security: Ensuring that collaborator…

Select folders from hard drive to sync with box
It would be very convenient to have an application that would allow a person to go in from their Windows Explorer to flag folders that already exist on the hard drive that would be synced and updated on Box. I would strongly prefer this to having to sync things the other way around, as I consider my hard drive to be my "home base". For instance, I would like to just right-click on my work folder located on my hard drive, and then select an option that would flag it to be synced with my box account so that any…

Allow Adobe Bridge to Show BOX Drive Folders/Files (Worked in Previous BOX Version)
With the update to BOX Drive Version 2.24.208, Adobe Bridge no longer shows BOX folders and Files when opening files in the application. In pervious BOX Drive version, Adobe Bridge showed folders/files, just like any other files – either local or in other cloud applications. HUGE inconvenience to workflow. Please reinstate this functionality.
