Please update Box Drive to support longer file paths.
Box Drive is relying on File Explorer legacy limits rather than Windows Operating System limits. We can create and access files with well over 350 character paths on the web interface and iOS Box app. Box needs to open up the Box Drive app for Windows. Using an alternative file browser (i.e. Directory Opus) can bypass the legacy limit of File Explorer on Windows.
2nd that!
This renders the app basically useless.
Additionally, alternative file browsers aren't an option for Export Controlled file systems.
Yes, please do this, it does not seem like a complicated fix.

Strongly agree, this is the one feature I would request from Box today. I have to skirt around and use the web app for these files, it should work natively as Windows has moved on to accept the longer file paths.
