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!

Box Drive doesn’t currently provide a built-in “read-only open” option. Instead, whether a file opens in read-only mode depends on the application (Excel, Word, etc.) and the operating system.
Here are a few possible workarounds:
- Download a local copy and open it outside of Box Drive.
- Use Box Preview in the web app, which always opens in read-only mode.
- Adjust application settings (e.g., in Excel you can configure certain files to always open as read-only).

This is a very narrow use case, so it’s not a priority for our roadmap right now.

Enabling this function would be a great coup for Box as it opens the application up to Design & Engineering applications. Box has half of that battle won right now with unlimited space, quick uploads and automatic versioning. Simply enabling UNC paths will allow the D&E apps to write directly to Box Drive and make Box a desirable storage platform for those users.
