I have a lot of folders shared with me that I don't use on a regular basis. In Sync I used to be able to choose which ones were displayed in the Explorer folder on my desktop. Because I don't own the folder I cannot move, rename or otherwise hide them that I can tell. 

 

Is there a way to not display some folders on Box Drive?

At present, there is no option hide folders in Box Drive nor a way to select your preferred folders to display in your Box folder.
