    Support for Spotlight on macOS is out with the release of version 2.53 (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/53361463306515-Box-Drive-v2-53-Release-Notes).


    The request will be left in the "gathering feedback" stage, as Finder/File Explorer search functionality does remain limited.

    For Macs, I definitely need Spotlight to work with the files that are synced to the hard drive, just the way Box Sync used to work. The Box Search functionality is weak -- there are no keywords like name:foo or ways to differentiating between searching within the file (can Box Search even search inside files?) vs. searching for the name of the file. When you have a lot of files, you rely on search to find them.
