Cannot select multiple files from the Box node in Windows file explorer

I have a UWP application that has a file picker and it launches PickerHost.exe when I want to attach a file from Box.

When I attach a single file from the Box node in the windows file explorer, it works fine. But when I try to attach 2 or more files, it doesn’t work saying there’s insufficient memory

The thing is, if I go to directly to the folder location of Box (ie. C:\Users\Username\Box) and select multiple files from there then it works fine. But not when I select from the Box node in the file explorer.

I don’t face this issue on other cloud storage applications, only on Box.

Wondering if this is a known issue and this line in the Box Drive beta for Windows announcement would address it? 

  • Folder redirection to seamlessly sync root folders from their local hard drive directly into Box, providing a more integrated experience (coming later in this beta)

Is there a way I could get access to the Box Drive beta for windows?
