Allow force download from web for red flagged files.
On occasion, a discrepancy may be found between your local copy and the one on the web. I recommend adding the ability to override your local copy with the web version as a Box drive local option.

Show "Last Updated By" in Box Sync
In BOX.com, there is a field to show the “last updated by”, which shows the name of the collaborator who last modified the file.
Would like the same feature to be available in Box Sync. We would like to tag the filename with the modified by collaborator via a script.

Move "Log in" green banner when viewing shared link while not signed into Box
If you view a shared link while you're not signed into Box, you'll see a green banner at the top: "Log in to Box to securely share, edit, and collaborate on files in real-time with other people." The banner blocks the "Download" button on the right. While there is an X to close the banner, there are two issues:
1) Less tech-savvy people don't know to close the banner and can't figure out how to download
2) Others may think you need a Box account in order to access the contentIt would be helpful to either move the banner…

We do not plan to make custom terms of service more granular at this time, as the admin / user complexity of configuring and maintaining n number of ToS policies would be very high.

Drive: More granular controls when designating a file as Marked for Offline
I tried to select particular folders to sync, but found that other folders that I had not selected were then trying to sync. I tried to stop them syncing, to find that then stopped the folders I was trying to sync. After going backwards and forwards a few times, Box Drive crashes.
I just want this feature to work as it should, syncing just the folders I want and leaving the rest as online access only.
What is happening is that when you click on a folder to select it and then mark it for offline, it is fine.

Make source.parent.name to include all of path
source.parent.name show just folder name.
For example, if the collaborator folder is A and it lcates “All files/A”. the customer get api.box.com/2.0/events?streamtype=adminlo..,
source/parent/name just show A. This behavior make the user not to find the folder easily.
It should be shown “All files/A”2 votes -
Automatically transfer files based on the file's last modified date
Desired: A tool that, based on last modified date, (automatically) transfers files to Box before or after a certain date.
Currently: Users have to manually sort files by last modified date and select files to transfer to Box. For automatic batch transfers from personal machines or file servers, users would have to use a time-based job scheduler tool in conjunction with an FTP client.

.ics (Outlook invite) Preview
Can we please previous .ics (Outlook calendar invite) files in some way through Box? We have had so many use cases where we keep a .ics file on Box and share out a link to it so employees can download it any add it to their calendar.
Unfortunately, currently, when they open that shared link it says "error" and our employees think it doesn't work and it's not there. I know we are familiar with Box and know to just download it because it is there, but less confident users see this as a huge barrier.

We are currently not planning to implement this feature and will continue to prevent all Box Drive results from appearing in Explorer/Finder searches.
Box Drive does not download the all of the metadata (File name, folder structure, etc.) of your Box content. Instead, it is downloaded on demand and then evicted when it is no longer relevant. This eviction process is not visible to users and it is not easily predictable. This would cause the search results in Explorer/Finder to be inconsistent for users – sometimes they would find a file and other times they may not if the metadata and file were evicted.
We have chosen not to download all of the metadata (and then keep it up to date with changes) as this can result in a large performance, storage and bandwidth tax which is not scalable – especially in environments where users interface with millions of files/folders.
