As part of the broader rollout of the updated Box Drive for Windows — a ground-up rebuild of Box Drive built on native Windows OS APIs — we want to make sure no one on Arm-based Windows devices misses out. Box Drive is now fully supported on Arm Windows with no special configuration required. If your organization has users on Arm hardware (Surface Pro X, Snapdragon-powered laptops, and similar devices), this is your chance to make sure they all now have access to Box Drive.

 

The new Box Drive for Windows brings meaningful improvements: deeper File Explorer integration with richer sync status icons, a native Windows context menu, Known Folder Redirection support via GPO, the ability to mark individual files (not just folders) for offline access, and better local storage management through explicit file unpinning. Arm Windows support is part of this same architectural leap, meaning Arm device users get the full, modern Box Drive experience alongside everyone else.

Now is a great time to verify your deployment policies and confirm everyone is on the latest release, including your Arm device users. Simply install the latest version of Box Drive and you're good to go.
