I have multiple folders in the cloud but would like to include only select folders for Box Drive like I can for Box Sync. Is that possible?

    Hi there, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    The ability to selectively sync folders to show like in Box Sync is currently not a feature available in Box Drive.

    There is an existing feature request submitted for this via Box Pulse that is currently "Under consideration", you can find the post on this page: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36932773-select-folders-to-sync 
     
    You may also up vote this idea and join in other users for more feedback on how this would be helpful to you and your organization.
     
    Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.
     
    Best,

    Hi France, how can I see the data size of a folder?  Your online chat is telling me it isn't possible?  When will this extremely basic functionality be added or when will you bring back Box Sync as an option?

    No, it is not yet available. Currently you can change the caching behavior of files, but they are all still available, and the entire directory structure is always exposed.
