It sounds like you need to sort through your downloads folder. I can relate.

Have you tried reaching out to Box / Microsoft and asking about mandatory metadata? Now I'm curious.

I use "Everything" ( https://www.voidtools.com/ ) if I ever need to find lost files.

Feels like someone needs to slap a validation form on top of some "protected" folders so that people are forced to follow the rules of the folder, and add the required metadata to uploaded files, so that things can be located or discovered etc.

We use "Everything" also. Works great and lighting fast
