1. BOX Drive - Block local file/folder creation if user does not have write access

   We do not allow creation of root folder in BOX. Also certain folders are read only for select staff. When using BOX Drive if they try to add content to an area they only have read access, the content is listed and appears to the employee, that they uploaded it to BOX. There is a tiny red dot but to many this is not sufficient to let them know the data is not being protected. Please configure BOX drive to not allow a local creation of content within the local BOX path if they do not have editor rights at that level.

2. Support for MacOS Smart Folders with Box Drive

   We need a better mechanism to identify files that have been updated within a given time period at a user level.

   Currently, we rely upon email notifications, but Box email notifications are currently getting filtered on our network. The Smart Folders ability would address this problem.

3. I want to share only the necessary folders and files on the BOX drive

   Since it is troublesome to access BOX.com, I usually access and edit the necessary folders and files from the BOX drive, but it would be convenient to be able to display only the necessary folders and files. Currently, when you open a folder with "Windows + E", all the folders and files in "All files" of BOX.com are displayed on the BOX drive, but you do not access all of these, and you can save files that are accessed infrequently. I think you should check BOX.com to confirm.
   I think it would be useful to have options such as "Share with BOX Drive" and "Hide from BOX Drive" on BOX.com.

   BOX.comにわざわざアクセスするのが面倒なので、普段はBOXドライブから必要なフォルダやファイルにアクセスして編集しますが、必要なフォルダやファイルのみ表示ができるようになると便利です。現在は「Windows＋E」でフォルダを開くと、BOX.comの「すべてのファイル」にあるフォルダやファイルがすべてBOXドライブに表示されますが、これらすべてにアクセスすることはなく、参照頻度の少ないファイルを確認する際はBOX.comで確認すればよいと考えます。
   BOX.com上で「BOXドライブと共有する」や「BOXドライブに表示しない」などのオプションがあると便利だと思います。

4. Box Drive built with the new architecture to not move deleted files/folders to the local Recycle Bin

   For the new-architecture Box Drive, we have observed that deleting the following types of items primarily moves them to the local and Box Web trash.
   ・Folders with online status
   ・Folders with downloaded status
   ・Files with downloaded status

   One of the reasons customers choose Box is to improve security (prevent information leaks), and they expect to operate in a way that “data is stored locally as little as possible.”
   However, once items are moved to the local Recycle Bin, the deletion policies configured for the trash in Box are no longer applied to those items.

   We feel that the fact that data supposedly deleted on Box Drive in reality still remains locally (in the Recycle Bin) undermines the value of using Box Drive. We are concerned that, after opting in, this results in a state where the overall security level is effectively reduced.

   Additionally, items moved to the Recycle Bin can be restored locally (e.g., to the desktop), which results in an extremely inadequate security situation. Therefore, we would like the behavior to be the same as in environments where opt-out is disabled, so that items are not moved to the local Recycle Bin.

   新しいアーキテクチャのBox Driveでは、主に以下に該当するアイテムを削除すると、ローカルとBoxWebのごみ箱に移動する挙動を確認しています。
   ・ステータスがオンラインのフォルダ
   ・ステータスがダウンロード済みのフォルダ
   ・ステータスがダウンロード済みのファイル

   Boxを利用する顧客の理由の一つとして、セキュリティー向上（情報漏洩防止）のため「データは極力ローカルには保存しない」運用を期待する部分がありますが、ローカルのごみ箱に移動されたアイテムに対しては、Boxで設定しているごみ箱の削除ポリシーが利かなくなると思われます。
   Box Drive上で削除したはずのデータが、事実上まだローカル上に残る（ごみ箱に残る）状態は、Box Driveを利用する意味が薄くなってしまうと感じており、オプトイン後は「セキュリティーレベルが低下した」状態になってしまうという懸念があります。

   また、ごみ箱に移動したアイテムはローカル（デスクトップ等）に復元することも可能となってしまいセキュリティが極めて不十分な状況に陥っているため、オプトアウト無効の環境と同じようにローカル上のごみ箱には移動しないようにしてほしいです。

5. Please make it possible to choose both .msi and .exe installers for Box Drive.

   The reason is that administrator privileges are required during uninstallation, and end users cannot reinstall Box Drive when issues occur.

7. Box Drive activity should show up in the recents section of the webapp

   Would be great if the recents section showed in the web app showed all content recently used and not just content in accessed in the web app. When I am using Box Drive the webapp recents section does not pick up that content.

8. Not delete data flagged as "make available offline" when Box Drive is closed/logged out

   Currently if data is generated and saved locally on a machine into the Box Drive folder, exiting or logging out of the Box Drive application will delete the local data on the machine, even if the folder it is saved into is marked to "make available offline".

   We are a small physics research laboratory currently trying to migrate our data collection and storage from Dropbox to Box. We were disheartened to discover that if data is generated on a local machine, by collecting and saving it directly into the Box Drive folder, say, and Box Drive is logged out (by an errant user perhaps) the local copy of the data is not preserved. This seems to present a great deal of risk as if a set of files, just collected, were not yet synced and an inadvertent closure/logout of box drive occurred the data would be lost. Or, more likely a large repository of data which must both be kept on a local machine and backed up to the cloud service would have to be inconveniently re-downloaded after any logout. A setting to prevent this behavior would be greatly appreciated.

11. block an upload by external user using Box Drive with smart access

    The current Shield feature only controls downloading, cannot blocks uploading/syncing and is not ransom-proof. The biggest problem is that when external users use BoxDrive and BoxSync, ransomware-infected files are uploaded/synchronized on Box.

    We are currently not planning to implement this feature and will continue to prevent all Box Drive results from appearing in Explorer/Finder searches.

    Box Drive does not download the all of the metadata (File name, folder structure, etc.) of your Box content. Instead, it is downloaded on demand and then evicted when it is no longer relevant. This eviction process is not visible to users and it is not easily predictable. This would cause the search results in Explorer/Finder to be inconsistent for users – sometimes they would find a file and other times they may not if the metadata and file were evicted.

    We have chosen not to download all of the metadata (and then keep it up to date with changes) as this can result in a large performance, storage and bandwidth tax which is not scalable – especially in environments where users interface with millions of files/folders.

    We will continue to improve the Box Drive Search experience as well as add in additional features in the future to help you access your Box content quickly!

14. Open as read-only when a user without edit permission opens the file in Box Drive

    Open as read-only when a user without edit permission opens the file in Box Drive

    Box Drive allows users without edit rights to download and edit files.
    You can prevent this by setting the file to "read-only" when users without editing permission open it.

    For example, if a collaborator with preview permission uses Box Drive, the file can be edited and saved on the user's PC.

17. allow Box Drive to be installed on only one profile of a computer, not all by default

    I have Box Drive installed on my profile of my laptop, which causes issues when my partner logs into his profile - Box Drive tries to open and then hangs, causing delay for him to log on every time. I stopped it from opening on start-up but this change was applied to both profiles, meaning it is now slower for me to get into Drive on my profile.
    I have reported this to Box Support and was told this was the default for Box Drive, that it runs on start up for all profiles and the only way to disable this is to go into the registry.
    Please look into this and get a fix. Not all family members may want or need a Box account, so it is crazy to assume that it is needed on all profiles.

18. Controlling the Visibility of External Collaboration Folders in Box Drive via Admin Settings

    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin Console.

    [Background]
    When using Box Drive, the following security risks exist:
    ・Risk of data leakage due to user error: Files or folders may be accidentally dragged and dropped into external collaboration folders.
    ・Risk of ransomware spreading to external tenants: If a user falls victim to ransomware, the encryption attack may also affect external collaboration folders belonging to other companies.

    [Details]
    We would like administrators to be able to control the visibility of external folders in Box Drive via the Admin Console. Rather than users configuring this themselves, we want administrators to be able to enforce the hiding of external collaboration folders through Admin settings.
    ・Control scope: the enterprise level and the group level.
    ・Target: External Folders
    ・Control details: Toggle display/hide on Box Drive (access remains available via the web app)
    ・Configuration permissions: Only administrators can change settings (end users cannot make changes)
    ・Scope of application: All users at once, or on a per-user or per-group basis

    [How it works when implemented]
    ・When an administrator enables “Hide External Folders,” only internal company folders will be displayed in the end user’s Box Drive.
    ・Access to external collaboration folders remains possible via the Box web app (ensuring business continuity).

    Please note that the content of this previously published article allows users to choose whether to show or hide external folders, which fails to eliminate security risks;
    therefore, this request is different from that one.
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36186751-hide-folders-from-box-drive
    Furthermore, it appears that the votes for the feature I am requesting in this request have likely been diverted to this existing article.

    following is Japanese

    Box Driveにおける外部コラボレーションフォルダの表示/非表示を管理者制御する機能

    [背景]
    Box Drive利用時、以下のセキュリティリスクがある。
    ・誤操作による情報漏洩リスク： ファイルやフォルダを誤って外部コラボフォルダへドラッグ＆ドロップしてしまう
    ・ランサムウェア被害時の他社テナントへの波及リスク：ユーザーがランサムウェア被害にあった際に、外部コラボされている他社フォルダについても暗号化被害が出てしまう。

    [詳細]
    Admin Consoleから、Box Driveに表示するフォルダの種別を制御できる。ユーザーでの操作ではなく、管理者側における設定で、外部コラボフォルダの非表示を強制することができる。
    ・制御単位：企業（Enterprise）単位、および、グループ単位で設定できる。
    ・制御対象：外部フォルダ
    ・制御内容：Box Drive上での表示・非表示の切り替え（一方、Webアプリ上では引き続きアクセス可能）
    ・設定権限：管理者のみが設定変更可能（エンドユーザーは変更不可）
    ・適用範囲：全ユーザー一括、または、ユーザー単位、グループ単位

    [実装された場合の動作イメージ]
    ・管理者が「外部フォルダ非表示」を有効化すると、エンドユーザーのBox Driveには自社内フォルダのみが表示される
    ・外部コラボフォルダへのアクセスはBox Webアプリ経由では引き続き可能（業務継続性を担保）

20. Auto-open files when downloaded from Outlook to Box Drive

    Currently when one downloads files from Outlook to box drive on one's laptop/desktop, one has to then go to that folder using file explorer (often several clicks or using the quick access menu) to open the file and then editing it. It would be very useful to have an auto open feature once the file is downloaded. Similar features are already available while using say Gmail on the web browser or even downloading a file from WhatsApp's desktop app.
