We would like to have a setting to control the ability to create shared links in Box Drive.
Currently, users can right-click on content in Box Drive and generate a shared link from the "Share" menu. We need a way to disable this functionality through administrative settings.
When creating a shared link from the web, it is possible to confirm that the shared link has been created by an icon,, however, when creating a shared link from BoxDrive, no icon is displayed, making it impossible to know whether a shared link has been created. Therefore, we want to prohibit creating shared links from BoxDrive.

BoxDriveで共有リンクを作成できないように制御したい
BoxDriveでコンテンツを右クリックし、メニューの「共有」から共有リンクを発行することができるが、これを制御する設定ができるようにしてほしい。
Webから共有リンクを作成する場合は、アイコンによって共有リンクが作成されていることが確認できますが、BoxDriveから共有リンクを作成するとアイコンが表示されず、共有リンクが作成されているかどうかがわからないため、BoxDriveからの共有リンク作成を禁止したい。

Drive: More granular controls when designating a file as Marked for Offline
I tried to select particular folders to sync, but found that other folders that I had not selected were then trying to sync. I tried to stop them syncing, to find that then stopped the folders I was trying to sync. After going backwards and forwards a few times, Box Drive crashes.
I just want this feature to work as it should, syncing just the folders I want and leaving the rest as online access only.
What is happening is that when you click on a folder to select it and then mark it for offline, it is fine.

Add support for Canon, Nikon, Sony images
Supported by Google Drive.
Canon = .cr2
Nikon = .nef
Sony = .arw6 votesThank you for the submission! This is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.
We suggest using the Open With Preview framework which should give third-parties (the company in this case) the ability to integrate a viewer for these file types as part of Preview.

Switch to Cloud File API for Drive to solve the Icons not showing issue
Like many users I found that the status icons disappeared in Explorer after starting an addition cloud service on Windows 11. This issue is well documented here: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195513-Icons-Do-Not-Appear-In-Box-Drive-or-Box-Sync-on-Windows
I would like to suggest utilizing the newer "cloud files API" provided by Microsoft that is used by OneDrive to move the icons to a status category rather than icons on the file thumbnails/icons.
The documentation can be found here; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cfapi/build-a-cloud-file-sync-engine
Thank you for your consideration.

I’m uploading a large directory tree with Box Drive, and I’d like to know the status of the files being transferred. I’ve been reading about this in the support area of their web site.
From the Box website, it appears that the way to do this is by looking at icons next to files which change color.
There are two issues with this:
I am blind and use screen reading software that can’t distinguish icons. The Box people need to know about this accessibility problem.
I’d rather have an overall report. But there’s nothing available in the Box Drive UI.1 vote -
Support for UNC paths in Box For Desktop
We require UNC paths instead of local paths to be supported by Box Drive. Today - we're leveraging WebDAV, which is less than ideal.

Add Description field in Windows Explorer
It would be a great feature if Box Drive could be integrated so that the "Description" meta field on the Box website is populated into the actual Description field when files are viewed on Box Drive locally on a desktop (i.e. adding the "Description" column to the view in Windows Explorer).

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.

We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap, though we want to recognize that content sprawl is an issue and we are working to address it! Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Fix Illegal Characters Automatically When Uploading Via FTP
FTP uploads currently allow illegal filenames or unsupported characters in filenames. This triggers sync and file errors in Box Drive.

finder tag
I use tags very often in my work to keep track of certain documents and where they are in the process. It is very frustrating to me that I cannot tag documents in Box Drive and have them come up in my sidebar on Finder. Is there a solution to this? Is this a feature that will be added soon? If it is not in the cards for Box Drive, I will have to migrate to Dropbox, which does support this feature for Finder Tags.
