Prohibits operation of files and folders that have not been synchronized with the Box server（Boxサーバと同期が完了していないファイル・フォルダの操作禁止）
When operating a file or folder that has not been synchronized with the Box server, the update contents may not be reflected on the Box server and may be lost. To prevent this, we would like to have an optional function that prohibits users from operating a file or folder until it has been successfully reflected to the Box server.

Open read-only in BoxDrive
Users with viewer privileges are not allowed to update files, but in the case of files that are updated simply by opening them, such as .xls files, an error will occur each time the file is opened in BoxDrive.
Is it possible to open files from BoxDrive in read-only mode?-in Japanese-

Optional functionality when creating “shared links” directly from “box drive”
When creating a “shared link” directly from a “box drive”, there is no ability to set an expiration date or password. It would be desirable to be able to set them for the purpose of preventing the creation of open links from reducing the level of security.

Display the person who is holding the lock.（ロックを取得している人を表示）
Since it is not displayed who is locking the file, it is unclear who has obtained the lock. Being able to identify this will allow us to request the person holding the lock to release it.

over quota message
Insert the account name in the over quota message instead of just saying "your account". This would eliminate the confusion when a user is trying to upload to a shared folder that they don't own.

Ability to Make Specific Folders Persistent in Box Drive
In order for some of our CADD standards to work properly we have our users marking a specific folder for offline use. It would be nice if there was an admin setting to mark specific folders to be precached or persistent in Box Drive for specific users or groups.

Add remote app support functionality like OneDrive is currently offering
OneDrive now offers support for starting in background for RemoteApp. I tried the same regkey for Box but it didn't work, can the same functionality be added for Box Drive?

Allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups
I have found it inconvenient that Box Drive can only be enabled or disabled for all users uniformly.
I believe that allowing Box Drive to be enabled or disabled for specific users or groups would provide more flexible operation. Implementing this feature could enhance security and operational efficiency. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.

Box Drive Windows Drive Letter
We work with Box Drive more than using the Box Web App.
It would be useful to have a plugin that maps Box to a drive letter rather than going to the shared link for the web or for example "C:\Users[USERNAME]\Box[Account Folder][Another Account Folder]" Only having a path going directly to Box[Account Folder][Another Account Folder] by default would be a great thing to have.

Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.（BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする）
When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.

BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。
検索結果から次々とファイルを確認するためには、再度BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示させねばならず操作が煩雑である。
これをポップアップウインドウにし、閉じるボタンをクリックするまでは非表示にしないようにしたい。1 vote -
About BoxDrive upload error notification messages
<BoxDrive upload error notification off function added>
Regarding the desktop notification method when a BoxDrive upload error occurs,
From version 2.41 onwards, a message similar to a Windows notification may be displayed.
I would like each user to be able to set whether or not to display the message.supplement:
Since it was not displayed until now, past errors are accumulated,
Since the accumulated amount is displayed as a message, some users may have more than 200 messages displayed, and the messages will be displayed periodically until they are resolved.
Since it will take time to resolve the error, I…1 vote -

Request to improve synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive"
We would like to request an improvement in the synchronization speed between Box Web UI and BoxDrive so that they can be synchronized within 5 seconds.
Our investigation of the synchronization speed is based on the following items.Pattern (3) Upload to Box Drive and check the screen update on WebUI: Result: No automatic update even after waiting for more than 5 minutes.
Pattern (5) Delete the file on WebUI and check the update on Box Drive: Result: 20 seconds

Disable offline access for specific folder
We would like to have a feature to disable Box Drive offline access for specific folders. Our users try to download the whole department folders and sensitive folders without realizing it. This is causing issues with disk space and compliance and there is no way to control this at the folder level, as Editor will have default access to download all files offline.

I want to set the file update interval to every 5 seconds.
Box Drive accesses the BOX servers every second, so 10 million access logs are logged per month. To control this, we would like to be able to set the update time of files and folders.

Direct transfer tool on macOS from connected NAS to Box online, bypassing the local drive cache
Our scenario is a NAS with 80TB worth of data on it. Mac-only environment.
I know about the standalone transfer tool available on Windows, but this is no option for our macOS environment.
Box Shuttle (cloud) is not an option to get this data onto Box, either as it can't connect to our NAS direclty (and it being in offline network segment).
Uploading in 1 go from the web portal fails miserably.
Drag'n'drop from NAS to connected Box Drive client fills up disk space beyond capacity.
Copying files from my NAS to Box Drive requires a tedious, manual process due…

Fix "missing" files bug in Box Drive
Please fix the "missing" files bug with Box Drive which has been an issue for years. I'm honestly getting tired of having to tell my users to log out and log back in to clear app cache to fix the issue. It keeps happening after updates. I don't understand why this is so unreliable.

Avoid accidental edits! Set local OS ReadOnly flag initially on ALL Box Drive files; When User Clears local RO, auto-Lock file for editing!
Currently a user can very easily ACCIDENTALLY change a file locally in Box Drive without locking. This can be completely avoided by this:
EVERY file in Box Drive should initially have local OS (e.g. Windows) "Read-only" attribute set. If and when the user explicitly Clears/Unsets the Windows Read-only attribute, e.g. in Windows Explorer (or chooses "Lock File For Editing in Box Drive" from context menu), Box Drive shall AUTOMATICALLY Lock it in Box, ideally only allowing local editing within Box Drive. There could be a pop up message like "File Locked for editing in Box Drive; be sure to Unlock…

Explorer
When you open a folder in Explorer format and use BackSpace to go back from where you opened it, the opened folder will be hidden from view in the reduced window. If there are only a few displayed items when you return, there is no problem because you can see everything, but if there are a lot of files and folders (more than can be displayed in the reduced window), some of the objects visible in the window will be displayed. , it goes out of its way to be one of the topmost files and folders. why? When I…
