Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. We will place this in our backlog as we continue evaluating ideas to improve Box Drive.
Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

We have the exact issue and it presents us with a decision whether we want to continue with a product that claims to have security controls at the file level, but then offers a product (Box Drive) that just about anyone using Windows or Mac needs that then strips off that security as soon as it's accessed because everything it does is a download or an upload and downloaded files don't hold classifications and Drive can't view or assign them anyway.
Box exists in a hybrid ecosystem, it needs an operating system to run a browser and a browser to run itself. Those desktops and their workflows are what the majority of business people use to do their work. they need desktop versions of Office applications for those tools that Microsoft didn't build into its online offerings (powerpoint, I'm looking at you). And navigating through a folder tree in Box is terrible and for grown-up businesses a flat and distributed file structure is sloppy and not scalable. People need their apple finder and windows explorer.
And this problem exists on both Mac and Windows so it is a Box problem. Prioritize this because it is deeply problematic to so easily bypass security policies.
