Thank you for the suggestion. Box currently offers the ability to lock folders using the folder lock API - https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/
We do not have a feature on our roadmap to expose this functionality from Box Drive. 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 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.

With Box Drive would be great to be able to decide where to store the documents offline in our PC or external drives – exactly like with Box Sync. Or even to change the location after the installation of Box Drive.

We would like to be able to look for documents not only via Ctrl+Shift+Alt+B but also when opening Box Drive folder in Windows and when tapping the name of what we are looking for in the upper right corner where there is the lens. We would like that from there all results related to the name typed are visible (results shown: indifferent in which folder from Box are stored).
