    How important is this to you?

    This capability is available on macOS. For Windows users, we are working on the Box Drive Cloud Files version, which addresses this issue due to its completely different architecture. Please see more details here

    Hi all,

    We are currently working on the ability to hide certain folders in Box Drive on your desktop, allowing you to see only the folders that are important to you.

    We will keep you updated on our progress here.

    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.

    Box Drive folder seems to become searchable as a side effect of changing the folder location using this method:

    After doing this (I used the most comfortable "C:\Box"), it should be visible to search tools. Tested in Total Commander search and Voidtools Everything.
