Locking Files
Is there a way to automatically lock files upon open. We are having lots of issues with multiple versions of documents. I understand if logged in online it will ask if you want to lock but when you open document on your desktop, I don't want to have to take extra steps every time to lock a file. Is there a setting that I can always lock upon open and unlock upon close. I am alright with two people not being in same document at same time.

Hi there,
Welcome to the Box Community!
As per checking, you need to manually lock the file according in this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697174-Locking-Unlocking-Files
Thanks!

You should deploy the registry entry mentioned on this page below. I don't know why this was not suggested by Aira from Box as it's literally exactly what you want. Just don't enable MS Office Co-Authoring as once this is enabled with Box, this registry key is no longer being honored from Box Drive (but Box fails to mention this anywhere)...
