Do you plan to add the ability to search for files in Microsoft Windows? This is a basic feature that almost every other cloud provider, such as Dropbox and Google, provides. It seems from many posts here this is a feature that does not exist yet and makes Box mostly useless in Microsoft Windows.

Hi there,

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help!

Looks like you have a designated team that communicates with Box directly. At this rate, please reach out to your internal helpdesk team to take it to  Premier Services.

Thanks for posting!
