How do I turn off the "Search Box Drive" keyboard shortcut (ctrl+cmd+option+space) - it conflicts with another existing shortcut, but I can't see a way to turn it off, so it always activates when I'm trying to do the other function, super annoying.
Question
Mac OS keyboard shortcut
Hi A S,
Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!
You can disable the hotkey that Box Drive uses to launch the Box custom Search UI following these steps:
In a Mac environment
- Create a boolean preference under com.box.desktop.ui called DisableSearchShortcut set to true .
- To do this from terminal run the following command:
- defaults write com.box.desktop.ui DisableSearchShortcut -bool true
2. Reboot Box Drive.

Thanks for reaching out and let us know how else we can help!

Thank you that worked. .. What a relief!
How come there isn't a way to change this setting within the app?
Hi A S,
Unfortunately, we don't currently offer this feature setting within the Box Drive app.
If this is something you would like to be able to do, I would highly recommend submitting this feature request at pulse.box.com! Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.
