   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 downloads.

2. Avoid accidental edits! Set local OS ReadOnly flag initially on ALL Box Drive files; When User Clears local RO, auto-Lock file for editing!

   Currently a user can very easily ACCIDENTALLY change a file locally in Box Drive without locking. This can be completely avoided by this:

   EVERY file in Box Drive should initially have local OS (e.g. Windows) "Read-only" attribute set. If and when the user explicitly Clears/Unsets the Windows Read-only attribute, e.g. in Windows Explorer (or chooses "Lock File For Editing in Box Drive" from context menu), Box Drive shall AUTOMATICALLY Lock it in Box, ideally only allowing local editing within Box Drive. There could be a pop up message like "File Locked for editing in Box Drive; be sure to Unlock (or set Read-only attribute) when done editing (or do so Now if Locking was unintentional)."

   When done editing, of course they must either choose "Unlock File", or perhaps alternatively simply set the local Read-only attribute again which shall automatically Unlock the file in Box.

4. 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.

5. 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 the desktop. We then realized, this was not a shortcut to Box Drive, but was the Network Drive. Due to this confusion, many items were deleted. We would like to request that Box change the icons of the shortcut and the Network Drive to be more different among each other, so that users won't get confused.

6. Box Drive Moving a Folder Off of Drive Fully Deletes it From Box for Mac FPE Users, Folder Lock API Enhancements

   For PC Users on Drive (and historically for Mac users), when you move a folder from Box Drive onto your Desktop, it simply makes a copy of that folder and leaves the original in Box.
   However, for Mac Users on the new FPE version of Box Drive, if they move a folder from Drive onto the Desktop, it fully deletes the folder from Box.
   For example, I am an Editor on a Marketing Folder that's owned by the IT Service Account and shared with hundreds of colleagues. I accidentally move this folder from Box Drive onto my desktop (easy mistake to make). Now this folder has been deleted from everyone's Box account. I realize my mistake and place this folder back onto Box. Now I am the owner of the folder and it isn't shared with anyone else.
   I understand that this is a limitation on the Apple side, however this is extremely painful for customers and has lead to a lot of confusion and data loss.

   Originally, I thought the the Folder Lock API could be used to put locks on large company folders so that they aren't accidentally deleted. However, upon further research the folder lock API isn't sufficient. First, the Folder Lock API doesn't waterfall down so you need to apply it to EVERY folder. Second, the Folder Lock API only locks the individual folder and not the files within. So I can still accidentally delete files within the locked folder. Last, the Folder Lock API experience on Drive differs from the Web. On Drive if I'm the folder Owner, then I cannot delete the folder. However, if I'm a folder editor then if I move the folder, it allows me to move it off of Drive and just removes me as a collaborator. On the Web, editors and co-owners don't even see the delete button as an option!

7. SSO multi-zone assignment through Box Drive log in

   We have an enterprise initiative to start leveraging Box drive through our file share migration to Box. The usage is expected to be high within our enterprise since we are working towards enabling Box as an enterprise level application. Since we are a global company, we have requirements regarding data residency and data location within Box. While Zones provide that functionality, through our testing we found the Zone assignment doesn't change when the login is initiated from Box Drive, it only changes when you log through Web UI.
   Although the workaround is pretty obvious and have people log in through the web UI once the location will be set but when we scale that into a large subset of users, the management overhead to make sure everyone is assigned correctly Zone, will be considerably high.

   A simple way to accomplish this is to add the functionality of allowing Multi-Zones assignments to be driven from Box Drive log in as well as through the Web UI log in.

   appreciate any input on that.

8. Box Drive Security - Utilize MFA/ Enforce connection to specific network

   For several reasons having our staff use Box Drive to access their files is the most helpful for our office. However it would be great if some additional security features could be added to Drive such as requiring the user be connected to specific network or utilize an MFA process. We currently have a vpn requirement setup to access the Box web app through our Okta service but this doesnt work as well with Drive since it caches the user credentials.

9. 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.

10. Taskbar icon overlay for Box Drive to indicate if there are any "Problem Items"

    Currently for Box Drive (for Windows) you have to go into the program then Box Drive Settings to view if there are any problem files. Most users will never do this.

    Ideally there should be a red exclamation overlay on the taskbar icon if there are any problem files and they should be shown immediately when you click to open Box Drive.

    This would help end users to see that not all their files are syncing and then ideally also show them the local path of the problem file (that they can click on to access) AND also give them an option to click a link to view the file on box.com if it needs to be fixed there.

11. Show Date Uploaded, instead of Date Created for new files in Box Drive

    Right now, when a file is uploaded to Box, the dated modified date shows the date the file was uploaded however, on Box Drive the date modified is the date the file was created.

    We would like to see the date the file was uploaded on Box Drive, as it appears on the webapp.

13. 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

15. Box Drive Internet Explorer embedded authentication

    Box Drive currently utilizes embedded Internet Explorer (IE) for authentication process. Microsoft will end support starting June 15, 2022 for IE. In addition, IE does support all current MFA protocols including FIDO2 (FIDO2 is supported by all other current browsers). We were informed by support that there is no roadmap to correct this and if this is not corrected by June 15, 2022 we will be unable to utilize Box within our organization due to lack of security being presented by Box and it imbedded IE.

16. Moving from Box Drive now deletes instead of copies

    When moving a file from Box Drive to another volume like your computer, it now removes the file from BOX altogether. Prior to the latest update to the platform, it used to make a copy by default.

    We use BOX as a file server and this opens up the potential for accidental deletion. Making the source folders read-only doesn't work either because we have to be able to edit contents on BOX.

    Can you provide the option in a setting or elsewhere to turn on forced copy by default when dragging files from BOX to another Volume?

18. Box Drive should change the way it handles files being moved into folder with unsupported file names.

    Currently, if a folder has an unsupported name and content is moved into it on Box, that content immediately becomes a problem item on Box Drive and the move is not reflected. This leads to the file count in the folder being off when looking at the properties from windows explorer.
