Box Drive Navigation
Box Drive navigation - In Windows File Explorer, after a user opens a folder, they can go back to the previous folder using "backspace" on the keyboard or "Left Arrow ←".
If a user performs the same operation on Box Drive, the user will be taken to the screen of the folder scrolled below the selected folder, but not 100% of the time.
This happens when the user opens the folder several times and returns by backspace repeatedly in the Box Drive.

Versioning on Box Drive
In the Box Web App, you can view different versions of a single file, see what changes were made and if needed, revert back to previous version of a file. We'd like for this feature to be available on Box Drive as well.

Add refresh button to Box Drive
Add a refresh button to Box Drive above the Log out option in the system tray. When our users experience Box Drive red marks on their folders we always tell them to log out and log back in to refresh the folders. It would be nice if there was a refresh button.

Improve Box Drive memory usage
Box recommend 4GB of RAM as minimum system specifications. But 4GB of RAM is not enough since Box Drive tends to use more than 1GB memory when a user open folder which has a lot of items. Therefore the fetching function should be improved to run efficiently on 4GB of RAM

(Box Alternate domain) link from Box Drive
Looking forward an option to setup Box Drive to generate shared links with the (Box Alternate domain) URL by default.
We heavily work with factories in China and for them to access shared files, we need to modify URL from "box.com" to (Box Alternate domain) manually everytime when we generate links from Box Drive.
Note: we know we can generate (Box Alternate domain) links from web platform when we login via (Box Alternate domain). We are specifically looking for a feature to setup Box Drive links to be (Box Alternate domain)2 votes -
Box drive won't show files that don't sync
We have many department users uploading files to Box via Box drive but sometimes Box drive won't upload all the files due to a certain discrepancy. There is no error on Box drive and the only way to find this is to check for the number files on Box web as compared to the number of files on Box drive for the particular folder. This is very concerning and Box drive should either show the list of files not uploaded to Box or shouldn't allow users to upload files using Box drive. I hope there will be a fix…

See and share full path from Box Drive
A function that enables to share Box Drive location/path between users.
When using Box Drive on a daily bases, it is inconvenient that the user needs to open the link on the browser once to identify the specific location/folder path.
It would improve to shorten the work flow if the users can see the full path from Box Drive so that they don’t have to go through the process to open box.com.
23 votesThanks for the suggestion! It’s not currently on the roadmap at this time.

Box Drive - Add Support for .pst Files
While .pst files are visible from Box's web client, they are not visible from Box Drive. This results in an inability to connect .pst files from Box to Outlook, and is preventing us from rolling out Box across our enterprise.

Box Drive performance improvement request when using VDI
The VDI is experiencing operational delays when using Box Drive, and this is affecting our business.
It was found that the delay was caused by a large number of disk I/Os.
We checked the Box Drive logs and found that Box was reflecting 1,000 to 2,000 operation logs on Box to each user every morning.
Since the above operations occur simultaneously for all users, there is a large load on the infrastructure.
Please improve performance.(Japanese)
「VDI利用時におけるBox Drive性能改善リクエスト」Box Drive利用時のVDIで操作遅延が発生しており業務影響が出ております。
操作遅延の要因としては多数のディスクI/Oによって発生していることが判明しており、
Box Driveのログを確認した所、Boxから毎朝1000~2000のBox上での操作ログを各ユーザーへ反映されていました。
上記操作が全てのユーザで同時に発生する為、インフラストラクチャに大きな負荷が掛かっています。
性能改善をお願いします。134 votesThanks for reaching out! We advise that you send this bug message with your logs to the support team. We will be able to triage effectively through this process.

Map Trash on Box.com to Box Drive App
This is very useful to users who deleted a file accidentally on Box Drive App to recover it without opening Box.com.
I once deleted one file through Box Drive, and it prompted that it would be deleted permanently and Stop me from undoing. I did not realize that it still can be retrieved from Box.com. If we have a Trash folder on Box Drive App that maps to the Trash on Box.com. That would be fantastic.
