To search your entire Box account with Box Drive, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

  • For Mac: ctrl + option + cmd + space

I have been using "ctrl + option + cmd + space" for another function on the Mac for 20 years. The Box search feature, which I never use, conflicts with it, and there doesn't appear to be a way to change the Box keyboard shortcut. My solution has been to stop using Box on my Mac, but a preferable solution would be for Box to allow me to change the keyboard shortcut.

    I'm also looking to turn off this key command as it conflicts with my work. Any updates on when we can configure this?

    I've decided to stop using Box until this key command is fixed by allowing users to set their own command choice.  

    One year has passed, nothing has been done and there are hundreds of other suggestions waiting in line at "Box Pulse".

    The above moderator knows there is little hope and instead of forwarding this request internally, asks users to forward it yourself.  Same BS that Apple uses.

    Well… bye.

    This is really unfortunate that after so much time there is no action whatsoever.  This conflicts in a major way with my setup that I have been using for quite a long time.  well...bye as well
