removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app
Hey there,
I’d like to request the removal of the delete confirmation prompt in the Box Drive app for Mac. When I delete a file, the system prompts me to confirm the action, which I find unnecessary and disruptive to my workflow. Since deleting a file requires deliberate actions—right-clicking and selecting delete—the additional confirmation step is redundant.
In my line of work, I frequently delete files, and this extra step adds unnecessary friction to my process. If a file is deleted by mistake, it can easily be restored from the Trash folder, making the confirmation prompt an unnecessary inconvenience.

List View of Marked For Offline Files
It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

Integrate Box as an additional "drive" in Google Drive. This would allow people to easily share documents from within Google Drive using Box. All of my templates are in Drive, I do real-time collaboration in Google Drive, none of which is currently doable in Box.

Top folders in Box Drive should respect top folder restrictions
We currently have it set to “Only Admin can create and delete first-level folders, file and bookmarks”.
But it is still possible to create folders in Box Drive and store files within them, but they aren’t actually uploaded to Box (as users do not have permission to create these top level folders), and they are saved locally

Please add a new way to change the maximum cache size of Box Drive without having to make a personal registry change.
In Box Drive, as described in the link below, Modifying the maximum cache limit requires a registry change.
However, in many companies, end users do not have the skills or authority to modify the registry.We would like you to work on a way to achieve this other than by changing the registry when modifying the maximum cache limit.
■Technical Information for Box Drive Administrators
Modifying the maximum cache limit:

以下のリンクで説明されているように、キャッシュの最大制限を変更するにはレジストリの変更が必要です。
しかし、多くの企業では、エンドユーザーにはレジストリを変更するスキルや権限がありません。キャッシュの最大制限を変更時にレジストリを変更する以外の方法で実現できるように工夫していただきたいです。

Metrics for tracking most oft-accessed files on a Box Drive shared among a team, department, etc.
OneDrive's tallying of the number of times particular files are accessed and by whom helped direct organization efforts for cloud storage and understand staff behavior. The Box Drive does not have a similar quantitative feature, as far as I know. Possible to create such a feature, to track who, when, and how often particular files and folders are used by staff permitted access? Thank you!

Support for differential or byte-level or block-level syncing with Box Drive
This type of transfer means only the changed parts of the file are transferred instead of the whole file.
