Hi Ahmed, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

When installing Box Drive, your computer must meet the requirements stated in this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697474-Installing-and-Updating-Box-Drive

After launching and logging in to Box Drive, you can access Box from either in the File Explorer or the Windows system tray.

Thanks for your participation in the forum!

Best,

Unfortunately, this response doesn't answer the question posed at ALL - if Box doesn't provide Windows file system access (i.e. via WSL2 or PowerShell or CMD) then please just state it is NOT supported so we can all look for another product that does. Thanks!
