Folders inside of Box folder should respect global folder view settings (e.g. icon size, etc.)
This is a known limitation of Box Drive (as documented here: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Drive-Known-Issues-and/Windows-Specific-Known-Issues-nbsp-for-Box-Drive/ta-p/37355, issue #3).
We have all of our users experiencing issues with finding content & adopting Box as a result of this issue.
Please prioritize this as it affects 100% of our employees. Thank you!

Box Drive 'locked file' icon on Windows PC is gray, while the icon is red on Mac OS X
The gray icon is hard to see on PCs due to the size and color. It would be great to improve parity between environments, and have the lock icon be red on both Mac and PCs.

"Box Problem Items" error dialog is useless
I received "file path is invalid on this system" errors from Box Drive through a "Box Problem Items" dialog. This window is useless! All it lists is the problem folder names. I can't simply rename the problem folder from this window; I can't click the folder icon and navigate to the problem folder in my file structure; I can't even swipe the file name and copy it into the search bar so I can find the problem folder on my own. Such a garbage error report! Please make this dialog actually useful

Different Reference method to the Box location
I need to be able to refer to a Box Drive location independent of a drive letter - Six users. Five users have box configured to sync to c: The sixth user has to have the location on his D: drive, due to space limitations (and big "Box" size).
we need some way to refer to these files in some other more universal method (LIKE a UNC path... or \127.0.0.1\BOX\ or YOU NAME IT ) so that the SAME reference will work, whether someone's Box drive is on C: or D:

Native Finder-search (MacOS) is mandatory
from your own web-page:
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695774-Mac-Specific-Known-Issues-for-Box-Drive"Mac search tools, such as Spotlight, Finder search, tags , do not return search results from Box Drive. Use Box Drive's search functionality instead."
Box Drive is not fit for purpose, since it forces every single file-search in the user's home directory to be executed twice:
- once in the home directory
- then again using Box spotlight search
- then put the 2 Finder windows side by side and do a manual inventory - unbelievable
I frequently search my home directory. The poor search functionality is a major miss, affects my work badly
Please look to…

Auto deleting files from my desktop once they are moved into box
Hi- question on moving files. Say I create a document on my desktop and then drag and drop it into box. The original document on my desktop is not deleted. I would like this to happen automatically so I am not editing the most recent file. Is this an account preference with box or with with my computer?
Example: I create a document file on my desktop just by opening up a Microsoft Word document. I then finish the document file and drag and drop into my box drive on my hard drive, but the file still exists on my…

Box Drive Apple Finder notification and not just small amber sign for sync failure.
Users are regularly experiencing issues with multiple file not syncing (incorrect naming or spaces etc) but the only notification to them is a small amber sign on the files syncing which they miss. Please can we have a larger warning in Apples notifications or Finder window similar to a local server error?

Slow IO: Switch from SQLite to something faster?
Benchmarks show that BOX drive is 50% to 90% slower than direct filesystem
Boxdrive stores the files in the cache as-is so there is no cpu overhead in encryption or packing, IO should be as fast as native filesystem.Perhapse the SQLite database layer is slowing things down?
If that's the case, replace Drive backend with something faster, like this one:

MS One Note integration needed
I use MS One Note very often and would like the ability to share with Box however there are many issues and end up saving the One Note file on a shared drive which does not have the same features as Box...I am trying to move away from utilizing shared drives and using Box primarily, however issues like One Note imcompatibility are preventing me from moving away from shared drives.
