This request makes sense, but this is not something that is planned for the foreseeable future.
I will keep monitoring similar cases and prioritize once this becomes a high value request.

Thanks for the feedback! Users already have the ability to selectively sync (mark content for offline access) today in Box Drive. What I believe you’re asking for is a curated view of content you select to show up in Box Drive. That’s something we’re considering as we think about how to solve the content sprawl issue in Box Drive.

The Collaborations report shows details of ALL users and contents they own and collaborate with others. It would help a lot if this report supports users' groups so that admins don't have to filter names manually before sending out the report.

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.

This change would require a shift to a completely new architecture, which is not planned at this time.

Some users have been requesting this lately. They would like to see the same feature in Box Sync, where they get to choose what folders to sync. To the users this makes their Windows Explorer a much more organized place.
