File Status now showing in Windows File Explorer
The problem shows up after installing the box app on my Windows pc. In my Windows file explorer, I cannot see the status of my files. I cannot know if the document is already available or needs to be downloaded first before use. And I cannot clear local downloaded file caches to release some space. How can I know the file status?

Enhancing MIP Integration: Applying DLP Policy Controls to Box Drive Access
We use Microsoft's MIP integration (DLP policy application).
Currently, DLP policy controls are not applied when opening from Box Drive.
This makes MIP integration pointless and poses security problems.
It is desirable for DLP policy controls to be applied even when opening from Box Drive.＜MIP 統合の強化: Box Drive アクセスへの DLP ポリシー制御の適用＞
Microsoft社のMIP連携（DLPポリシー適用）を利用しています。
現在の仕様では、Box Drive から開く場合には、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されません。
これでは、MIP連携を利用している意味がなく、セキュリティの観点で問題があります。
Box Drive から開く場合にも、DLPポリシーの制御が適用されるのが望ましいです。13 votes -
Generating/Copying-to-clipboard multiple shared links at once through file explorer
Egnyte, one of Box's competitors, gives users the ability to select multiple documents in file explorer to then generate their respective shared links all at once. These links (and the document titles) are then copied to the clipboard and can thus be easily distributed.

See folder structure
Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.
For example, if the folder structure is:
X
|- Y
|- Zand our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.9 votes -
For the love of all that is holy. Please add the ability to pause and cancel specific offline items from syncing in the transfer window.
On a slower wifi connection users need a way to control syncing. The ability to pause, or even cancel offline file from syncing is essential. Dropbox has this functionality. Please catch up.

Pop up message when users try to move Large folders to a trash
Hi Could you consider displaying a pop-up message when users try to move a lot of contents to a trash?
Currently, a pop up message appears when large folders are moved to oher folders. But no message appears when a user tries to move contents to a trash.

Organize Folders that are shared with me
I use box drive on Mac and my main finder window is cluttered with folders that have been shared with me and there is no way for me to organize these folders. I have 50 folders that I use maybe once a year in the same spot as a folder that I use every day. Being able to rehome those folders off of the main screen would be a huge plus.
Currently it feels like a messy desktop that I have no control over.

Log HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY Usage in Box Drive (Windows)
On Windows, we encountered prolonged troubleshooting with Box Drive because setting the HTTPPROXY and HTTPSPROXY environment variables led to unexpected proxy usage.
While it is widely known in the Python ecosystem that these environment variables can influence program behavior, the impact on Box Drive was not obvious and made diagnosis difficult.
Could you consider enhancing Box Drive’s logs to output a list of the environment variables it reads (e.g., those related to proxy configuration) so that issues like this are easier to identify?

Feature Request – Enable "Favorites" Feature on Box Drive
The 'Favorites' feature in Box allows users to quickly access frequently used files and folders by marking them as favorites. However, adding folders to 'Favorites' is only available through the Box web app and is not supported on Box Drive, the desktop application.

Sorting & Tagging
I’ve encountered a few issues with Box.com and it’s impeding on my performance.
When creating folders the system by default sorts by the latest folder accessed. Clicking on “NAME” to resort by folder structure is time consuming.
Also, I was told the Box desktop app was a good alternative to Box.com. All was well until I stumbled upon a design flaw when tagging a folder on the desktop app vs Box.com
I use a Mac and tag using their colour coding system. Unfortunately, Box.com does not support said feature so the tags are only visible on my laptop.Since there’s…

列幅が狭く、変更を固定できない。The column width is abnormally narrow, and changes cannot be fixed.
BOXドライブをエクスプローラ上で開いたときにファイル名の欄が異常に狭い状態で表示され、手動で直したり幅を再設定しても自動で狭い幅に戻されてしまいます。非常に使い勝手が悪いです。数年前からある不具合で多くの人が報告しているのに、いまだに修正されていないことにも驚きます。
When opening BOX Drive in Explorer, the file name column displays abnormally narrow.
Even if I manually adjust it or reset the width, it automatically reverts to the narrow width. This is extremely inconvenient.
I'm also surprised that this bug has existed for years, has been reported by many people, and still hasn't been fixed.

We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.
We would like to hide the prompt that asks whether to lock the file displayed in BoxDrive.
Currently, BoxDrive shows a prompt for file locking every time a file is opened.
This is particularly disruptive when opening multiple files simultaneously.We would like administrators to have the ability to turn off this prompt through settings.

BoxDriveで表示されるファイルをロックするかを確認するプロンプトを非表示にしたい。現在BoxDriveではファイルを開くたびにファイルロックのためのプロンプトが表示されます。
特に複数ファイルを同時に開くときに作業の妨げになります。管理者が設定で表示をOFFにできる機能を実装してほしい。

Search function in file explorer window does not function in BOX DRIVE--FIX THIS PLEASE
Search function in file explorer window does not function in BOX DRIVE--FIX THIS PLEASE?
It's soooo bad that my boss will not use drive, reverted to and will only use sync do to the lack of search capability in windows explorer. He threatens frequently to move us to a different platform because of it. It is absolutely unacceptable to not have the file explorer search function with BOX DRIVE work identically to the way it workson BOX Sync1 vote -

Account provision based on invitation received.
Hi
Case #3378972. Refer this for details.When someone in our domain receives an invitation to collaborate in a folder and they don’t yet have a Box account, an account will be provisioned and that user will automatically become a managed user under your enterprise instance. This is some kind of a backdoor account creation which we want to have a control on. We have account approval process where Cost Center managers review and approve the license cost. Need this capability to have a control over this way of account creation.

Prevent users from adding content to the root level in Box Drive
Our enterprise is set to prevent users from being able to create folders at the root level. This functionality works great in Box cloud app. However the user is able to add content at the root level in Box Drive. This causes sync errors as Box Drive cannot sync to a root level folder in the app.
Can you consider preventing users from doing this in Box Drive so it matches how it works in Box browser view.

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。

Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box
The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

Add Support for Python in Excel
I would like to be able to use Microsoft Excel's new Python integration while stored on Box. I have been told that Python in Excel can only be used on content stored in "secure container[s] on the Microsoft Cloud", such as OneDrive, Azure, Sharepoint, and other Microsoft proprietary resources.

Box Drive folders should automatically refresh when you open them.
When you open a folder in Box Drive, it should automatically refresh that folder. There's no scenario where you're opening a folder and you WANT an older version of it. If you're opening it, you intend to interact with it somehow, and in order to do so effectively you must have the most up to date version of its contents. Manually refreshing is tedious.
