Thank you for your help.
 
The width of the file name display field in box drive always starts narrow at startup, making it difficult to understand long file or folder names. Is there any solution to this problem?
 
In normal Windows Explorer, it remembers the width of the file name display column, so there is no need to manually widen the file name column every time it is started.
 
The OS is windows 10 pro and the machine is hp Elite Dragonfly.

      I also have the same issue and it’s annoying. Even if you could hover over the file name to see the full name, that would be helpful.
