Replace Box folder icon in Finder Sidebar?
How do I replace the (ugly) Box logo used in the Finder Sidebar with just a plain folder icon? I've tried pasting a new folder icon onto the Box Sync folder in the "Get Info" dialog box, but it doesn't seem to respect that icon.
I just want a normal looking, unbranded folder in my Finder Sidebar.

Hi OJ,
Welcome to the Box Community!
At present, there is no way to change the icon for Box Sync folder that appears in Finder.
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.
Best regards,

Could someone post it on my behalf?

Remove Box-branded Box Sync folder icon in MacOS Finder Sidebar

I just want a normal-looking, unbranded folder in my Finder Sidebar.
The current Finder Sidebar shows a rather ugly eye-sore of a logo in place of a plain folder icon, with no way to disable this customization so it pollutes every Finder window. I've tried pasting a new folder icon onto the Box Sync folder in the "Get Info" dialog box as is customary on MacOS for ALL other applications, but Box doesn't respect that icon (or the user's wishes).
See https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4616605016211-Replace-Box-folder-icon-in-Finder-Sidebar- for screenshots of how ugly it currently looks.
