    How important is this to you?

    Thank you for the suggestion. We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap.

    Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

    How is this NOT planned - this is ridiculous Box devs; perhaps you don't understand how important this is for people's workflows. I work in Broadcasting and need my bandwidth often for live streaming, therefore I need to pause my uploading. Currently, the ONLY way to stop uploading is to quite Box Drive. This seems ridiculous.

    Completely agree, I have an entire separate cache drive for this.

    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.
