What is Box Drive?
Box drive is a desktop application that brings all your files you have access to on Box, accessible from your desktop Box Folder.  This desktop app makes it easier to access your files on Box in the cloud because it creates another drive on your computer like your C drive.  Which means you will have access to all your files and folder on Box, without having to sync them down to your computer.  The application also works on both Windows and MacOS.
