Warn users of upcoming web session expiration.
It can be confusing to users that Box does not bring you back to your login page on session expiration, only after you try to complete an action. Suggest adding a notification to warn users they will be logged out in XX minutes due to inactivity. Alternatively, notify users they are logged out before they try to complete an action.

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.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.

Add additional search filters to Admin Console
There are wide variety of search filters available to end users when searching their Box content. Box Admins, however, do not have the same search filtering options through the Search Content section on Admin Console. Specifically, it would be hugely beneficial to be able to select the user(s) content you want to search via the Admin Console content search and to be able to apply content filters such as date range to the search results. This is essential functionality for e-discovery and for searches related to new GDPR requirements.

box sync location
Changing the default location would be a good idea! Yes, I have read the instructions and added the line to the registry. Andno it does not work! Why have you messed this up. It used to be so easy. I t was poosible the change the location on install. This feature was not available with the new installer.

Add non-client usage tracking
I often give out links to content in my box.com account. It would be great if you kept track of how often the content was actually accessed. For instance, number of clicks per link per day including whether item was previewed only or downloaded.

thumbnails not working in windows explorer
We found a known issue with Win10 windows explorer where thumbnails don't load quickly or at all. This is a major problem for graphics, web or content companies. Even average people can't find their pictures easily due to this.

collections folder is cumbersome and awkward, very hard to use
My favorites randomly auto populate in the left margin when I open box. My work efficiency is greatly affected by having to click on the collections folder and wait for a new screen then dig through the page to find the bookmark favorite that I want. The "old way" of displaying my favorites had no issues and the order in which my favorites were organized worked well for me. Please find a way to revert back to my favorites always being displayed in the left margin.

File Security Classification, non-compliance label
When viewing a folder, it is currently not possible to know if there are files within the folder structure that have a differing classification label from the one at the root level. This "non-compliance" could potentially be problematic, or even a signal that someone has inadvertently changed a classification. It would be nice to have some kind of visual indicator that the top-level classification label is not 100% cascaded throughout the folder/file structure below it in the waterfall.

When I use the option to hide the left sidebar, the toolbar icons at the top are duplicated, overlapping each other.
This is an accessibility bug I think. I use large fonts on a Mac, and when I use Box in my Safari browser and use show/hide of the left sidebar, I wind up with double the top toolbar icons - overlapping each other, and only half are actionable.

Add ability to allowlist unpublished apps in a Shield list or Access Policy
Currently, the only apps that can be exempt from an Access Policy are published apps or custom JWT apps that have been approved in the Admin Console. There is a gap for unpublished OAuth apps that may need to be allowlisted from a policy.
