Thank you France! This is very helpful.

Does the encryption at rest using 256-bit AES encryption also extend to Box Drive which is accessible locally? 

Do the Box Shield Access Policies and Threat Detection Rules also apply to things happening in Box Drive?

I have the same question whether files in Box Drive (as they are on the local hard disk) are encrypted. I see this has not been answered yet. Can this be answered?
