Need this as well. This is the #1 requested feature by our CAD users.

We are definitely tracking this feature, but it is not yet on the roadmap for delivery.
How would envision managing your groups?
Would you want to sync with an existing directory, or create the Groups directly in Box?

I was dismayed to see that this still hasn't been implemented in Box Automate. I had a request from a user to create an Automate workflow so that when a new safety briefing (PDF) is added to a directory, everyone in the Safety group (Entra group that's provisioned to Box) gets an email notification that the file is available.
Not being able to use the existing safety group means someone needs to manually add the 100+ group members to the Automate notification manually. Worse, now employee onboarding/offboarding will need to contain an additional step where the person who maintains the Automate workflow (not part of IT) will need to be notified to update their worflow everytime someone who is part of the Safety group is onboarded or leaves the company.
This is not sustainable, and unfortunately the team decided not to use Box Automate for this need and has now moved all of their content out of Box and on to our Intranet platform because it does support group notifications.
This is not the first time we've run into this limitation and it's causing us to have more and more content reside outside of Box because of what appears to be lack of basic functionality for how teams actually work.

We have a request from several of our users for this functionality. Currently both Box Drive and Box Web allow us to lock the file in a coauthoring environment. However, even though the file shows the lock icon, when you open it to edit, the file is opened in read-only mode.
Our users want to be able to lock a file so that they're the only one who can work on it for a given period of time. Our finance and accounting people often have spreadsheets open all day and don't want others in the document until they're finished. With the inability to lock the file, it's possible others will open the doc and edit without the original editor being aware (they may have the desktop app minimized while they work on other things).

Would love to see this as well from both a performance and storage optimization standpoint, especially as our data volume grows.

I'd like to see this as well. This is the number one request from my users RE file requests. Because these links are often client facing, they want short, memorable urls, not the long alphanumeric links we're currently limited to.

We’ve been focusing on making the following improvement to Box Groups instead: allowing external users to be added to groups (https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/35982226) and using groups for granting access to apps and enterprise settings (https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/36670615).

Would love to see this added as well. Our users sometimes need to share content with All Users, so we need to maintain an AD group for All Box Users which can be a pain to keep up to date.

Would like to see this as well. There's currently no way for a regular user to see who's in a group before assigning access to said group.

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!

This feature is still a work in progress. Please follow the news for the GA announcement.

Would love to see this implemented as users accidentally moving folders is a constant problem for us. Even better, I'd like the ability to "lock from move" certain folders, which I'll raise as another enhancement request.

We're an engineering company all in on Box, but it's the lack of features like this that are making it harder to push back against the offerings from companies like Egnyte who are listing to companies in the AEC industry and implementing features specific to their workflows.
The lack of enhanced/auto-locking for CAD files is a huge missed opportunity for Box.
