Bring back home directory "mountpoint" on the mac
I don't know if it's just me, or some problem with the privacy etc settings that have been a moving target with OSX lately, but after my latest reboot on a fully updated MacBook I was greeted with a popup from Box Drive saying it is now fully MacOS 12 compatible, and lo and behold, my /Users/app/Box directory is gone. I can only access Box files from the Explorer, but not the command line. I never looked into what the Box drive was exactly, a link, a mountpoint, no idea, but I miss it badly.

When using BoxDrive, sometimes the folder or file actually exists, but the message "This folder is empty" is displayed.
When using BoxDrive, sometimes the folder or file actually exists, but the message "This folder is empty" is displayed.
When opening a folder, I want you to incorporate the logic to judge whether it is empty and display "This folder is empty" or "Searching". If it says it's empty, you'll be checking Box.com. If it is displayed that it is being searched, a simple refresh is enough, such as transitioning to one parent folder and returning..6 votes -
List of Offline Folders in Box Drive
It would be great to be able to see a list of folders marked for offline availability in Box Drive. We've had a few users who end up accidentally using up too much hard drive space, but can't remember exactly what folders they've marked offline. We end up needing to have them sign out of Box Drive to clear all offline folders, then sign back in and re-mark folders they need.

Enhancement to file manager in box
I find box to be a clunky way to collaborate.
This is a linear search for files. Its not obvious how to sort by file name or date. There has to be a better way to organize files and directories. Microsoft file manager is far superior to this.

Box Drive Internet Explorer embedded authentication
Box Drive currently utilizes embedded Internet Explorer (IE) for authentication process. Microsoft will end support starting June 15, 2022 for IE. In addition, IE does support all current MFA protocols including FIDO2 (FIDO2 is supported by all other current browsers). We were informed by support that there is no roadmap to correct this and if this is not corrected by June 15, 2022 we will be unable to utilize Box within our organization due to lack of security being presented by Box and it imbedded IE.

Ability to logout and delete cache from Box Drive on OS reboot
Currently, it is necessary to logout/login to clear the cache and errors, but this is troublesome.
The burden of performing this operation on a regular basis is on the end user.It would be easier to use if the logout/deletion of the cache could be done on OS reboot.
（If it automatically re-logon after restarting OS, that would be even better)現状ではキャッシュやエラーをクリアするためにログアウト/ログインする必要がありますが、これは手間がかかります。
この操作を定期的に行うのはエンドユーザーに負担がかかってしまいます。OS の再起動時にログアウト/キャッシュの削除ができればより便利だと思います。
(OS の再起動後に自動的に再ログオンするようになれば更に良いと思います。)12 votes -
Folder colors
In Box it is not very easy to see what foders are shared externally. There are small globe icons on the collaborators, but if that list is too long, the external collaborator might not show up.
Apart from that: the list of collaborators is not visible in Box Drive.
Box should introduce a new Folder type (different color, different icon) to show that information in this folder is shared with external collaborators. This functionality should be available across all clients (Web, Drive, Mobile).
29 votesThank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Really need a better way for individuals to organize folders on their Box Drive
I see some ideas under consideration, and amazingly adding Collections to Box Drive is not one of them. Box Drive urgently needs a better way for individual users to organize contents without affecting the online heirachy for everyone else

Add "disable for select users" as a Box Drive Mark for Offline option
A global Box customer is looking to disable MFO (Marking for Offline) for a selected users.
This would be a "symmetrical" counter-option to the existing "enable for select users", and also similar to how some other features can be managed within Box Admin Console, making the MFO options more consistent with broader Box experience for admins.2 votes -

"Your Download is In Progress" pop-up confuses clients
When a client of ours who is not a Box user downloads a file, a pop-up which says "Your Download is In Progress" appears. The issue is that the pop-up looks like there are only three courses of action, “sign up”, “log in”, or “x” out. Many of our clients have not realized that there is a fourth option, which is just wait for the download. This has caused confusion time and time again across different clients at different times. These are sophisticated users, and this creates serious client issues. Can you please remove the sign up and login options.…

Enhanced automatic locking of read-only files
Allow users to choose to lock or not lock the read-only configuration file instead of automatically locking it.
It also prevents the read-only attribute from being automatically released when auto-unlocked.

Ability to copy/duplicate files
My local City sends out links to files that expire in 30 days or so.
Currently I download those files, then upload them back to box,net.The "copy" feature for such links seems to copy the links, not create a safe local copy of the data.

Tags and comments in Box Drive
Is there a way to see the tags in Box Drive? Right now I have to view box on the browser to see the tags for each file. Is there some option to view the tags in Box Drive without having to go to box.com each time?

Scheduled Lock/Unlock capability
Add a feature that where owners can set up a reoccurring automated lock and unlock for day and time of the week. Same as you see in office outlook for reoccurring meetings, but with a locked file. This way users can only access the file/log during specific times and the owner can work the file when it's locked again. Currently, this is all manual and can cause issues when a report is still locked and users in different time zones need to add items to a log before a specific time in PST. The window for editing becomes short for…

Avoid files loss upon uninstall
The current uninstall app, on macOS, doesn't check on the syncing status of files. It erases the unsynced and cache folders directly, not even moving them to the system Trash.
I've recently followed the process to update the BoxDrive macOS 12 beta and lost one week worth of files that hadn't been synced.1 vote
