This is a feature we would love to get to, but unfortunately it is not on our short term roadmap. Please continue adding your feedback!

Thanks for the thoughtful suggestion (and mock-up!). At this time, it’s not planned, but we’ll keep this in mind for future enhancements to the product!

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.

Together with the rejected "Show properly in search" feature THIS feature is so obvious and it is sad that it is ignored for years now. "Box sync" could do it but has other issues.
