Good afternoon,

Our client wants us to fix an issue where File Explorer customizations are not being respected when viewing files in the Box Drive path on the workstation.

Specifically the file name column is not wide enough to display the full name of files/folders in the path, but this issue is not present outside of the Box Drive environment.

I am experiencing the same problem and it is very frustrating. The problem independently persists within file explorer and when file explorer opens within a program (e.g., opening a document in Microsoft Word). The latter is especially frustrating because it reverts back to the default column width every single time.

Box’s Drive ignores “File Explorer > ... > Options > View > Apply to Folders” customization where other drives like pCloud do not.
