InDesign links and Box Drive
This appears to be an issue only with InDesign and Box Drive.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In InDesign, link to an Illustrator file or PDF with multiple artboards, layers, or pages from the Box Drive folder.
2. Place the file and select a single artboard or page.
3. Save, close, and re-open the file.Result:
The linked file will no longer update. Perpetually needs updating even though the file hasn't changed.
The workaround is to save the linked file to Adobe Libraries.Expected:
The file link should show that it is updated in the links panel.

Edit -> Duplicate - keyboard shortcut broken
It has been broken for years actually, you cannot use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate. It's in every version of InDesign for years.
Easily reproducible - select an object and try to duplicate via keyboard shortcut (command - option - shift - D).

Behaviour is triggered by size of document and/or number of cross references. E.g. I'm working on a ~200+ pages document with about 150 cross references – both of which isn’t that extreme – and opening the panel takes around 4 minutes (yes, minutes).
