Allow DES files to be synced via Box Drive
We would like for DES files to be synced to Box cloud via Box Drive. They are currently being ignored in the same way PST files are ignored. Ideally, having the ability to enable/allow exclusions would be ideal.

Restore Box Drive behavior on MacOS when it mounted as an external hard drive with on-demand file streaming
Product: Box Drive Version 2.24.193 installed 2021-10-12 on MacOS 11.6
Newest release 2021-10-12 has removed the "external hard drive behavior" and on-demand file streaming feature (as illustrated in first 2 minutes of https://youtu.be/t7tPs1naUtY), which was THE reason I use Box. Now it behaves like OneDrive: (1) viewing Box file requires full download, (2) downloaded file remains on computer until manual removal, (3) dragging and dropping into Box folder literally moves file rather than copying file. These behaviors make life miserable and are the reasons I do not use OneDrive. Now Box has removed the…

Synchronize changes between Box Edit and Box Drive for Excel
The file which is referred from external, if we edit , save download and upload, we need to save original Excel from Box Edit. The customer does not want to open Edit only for this.
For example, there are two excel ExcelA and ExcelB. Excel B is referring the data from ExcelA.
ExcelA was created via Box Drive and ExcelB was from Box Edit.
If Excel A was modified, then open ExcelB, but the modification is not reflected to ExcelB.

It would be good have two people collaborate when both use box drive
Right now, the only way to collaborate is using box drive and MS 365 online-- which has a clunky interface. Would be good to have people working in Box Drive be able to jointly edit documents. Sharepoint Sync allows that to happen, but Box Drive does not.

Retrieve Box shared links along with local paths from Box Drive
I am interested in retrieving a list containing local file paths and their shared links from Box Drive. This would be useful in scenarios where I am referencing many files through Box Drive (e.g., a mail merge in Microsoft Word which references a unique shared Box link in each email). Currently each shared Box link must be retrieved manually using Box Drive’s right-click context menu.

Adding more functionality of Box Drive enhancements into the Admin Console
My customer has deployed Box Drive out to most of their employees and it has been widely adopted across their organization. What they are now having trouble with is that there are security concerns when it comes to their employees having personal Drive accounts so they want to the functionality built in to Admin Console to force log out their users in Box Drive - as of right now many of the Admin functionality relate to Box Sync and Admins do not have the option to make changes on the Box Drive functionality

A snapshot of contents within a Box drive folder
Have you ever looked at a top-level Box folder and felt overwhelmed by the prospect of having to dig through and drill down to every sub-folder just to know what the contents are?
Do you get discouraged at the thought of looking for a single file that could possibly exist way down the rabbit hole of Box folders and sub-folders?
Would you rather have the ability to glance at a snapshot of an entire Box folder and all the sub-folders and files that exist within it?
A simple yet effective solution is a "tree directory" view. This is a feature…

Drag and drop web URLs to Box Drive folder in Windows File Explorer
Posting a request to add functionality to Box Drive that will allow drag and drop URLS from web browsers directly to Box Drive folder in windows file explorer.
Currently, it's possible to store web URLs in Drive if you save them to your desktop first. We would like the ability to skip this step and save URLs directly from Chrome for example to Box Drive.

Push information on AD information in Box Drive for first time login (e.g. tenant name)
To allow for configuration that allows Box Drive to understand that the first authentication should be against the client's SSO provider, rather than prompting the user to enter their email address. Some options that were mentioned were to allow Box Drive to read a value containing the user's email address, or to configure Box Drive to launch a customer specific authentication page.

Add preferences dialog to Box Drive on Mac (e.g., hide menu icon, change shortcut key)
Most Mac apps provide a preference dialog for key settings. For Box Drive on Mac, I would expect pressing ⌘, when Box Drive's search is active to open preferences, where I could optionally hide Box Drive's menu bar icon (the icon inside Finder's sidebar is all I need to see) or change the shortcut key for searching (in case ⌃⌥⌘Space conflicted with another app) or adjust the maximum disk space used by Box Drive.

Box Drive search for specific folder
Currently there is not way to search for a folder name offline. All you can search for is a file name. This can be problematic if you have multiple files with the same name, but just in different locations. Suggest being able to search for file name and then open file.
244 votesThe ability to search for items in a specific folder was delivered in Box Drive v2.17!

Box Drive can no longer "open on box.com" on Mac
Previously on Box Drive you could right click on a file and choose to be taken to its location on box.com.
Since the latest Mac, the functionality has disappeared, which affects the ease of using integrations with box.

The ability to exclude Box Drive and Box Sync synchronization processes and file opened downloads in the download policy of Box Governance o
The ability to exclude Box Drive and Box Sync synchronization processes and file opened downloads in the download policy of Box Governance options
The download policy of the Box Governace option also detects the synchronization process in Box Sync and Box Drive, as well as the downloading of files when they are opened.
Therefore, it is not possible to detect only those downloads that are intended by the user.
By adding the Box Sync and Box Drive synchronization process and a setting to exclude downloads when a file is opened, you can detect and monitor large numbers of user-initiated…3 votes -

Cross-platform Box Drive with multiple accounts needed
I realize this has been asked for in the past, but dismissed without much explanation of why it is "not planned." I'm the admin of a Box enterprise account. Co-admins in our enterprise org require user-level file access to perform their job duties. While our corporate policy does permit employees to use their Box accounts for personal data, there are numerous issues with this:
1) I travel frequently, and need offline file access, from my computer and devices; can't do that if I have to log out and back in.
2) Box Drive on mobile devices is not particularly useful…6 votes -
Ability to view the contents of the login page on the login screen on Box Drive
Currently, the login page settings that exist in the tenant settings are only visible in the web browser, not in Box Drive.
Since many of our tenants use Box Drive, we would like to display the contents of the login page on the login screen on Box Drive as well.(In Japanese)
現在、テナント設定に存在するログインページ設定は、Webブラウザ上でのみ表示され、Box Driveには表示されません。

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…
