   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.

   "we will continue to prevent All Box Drive results from appearing in Explorer/Finder searches" that makes it sound like Box is going out of its way (spending time and money) to remove functionality from the Box Drive software.

   OneDrive currently allows Spotlight to see/index both locally cached files and online only files even ones from shared folders.

   Box Drive's integrated search is not a good solution. It always/only does universal searches. 90% of the time I want to search within a specific folder. There's really no reason to force users to jump to a separate application to perform searches.
