Hello!

 

I just switched from BOX SYNC to BOX DRIVE. In SYNC I could see/choose what folders I wanted to see/sync to my machine. With DRIVE now I see all the files/folders, what is very annoying and inconvenient for my daily work.

Any ideas/feedback on how I can only see my synced folders? They are already set to "always available offline" (only the ones what I need). 

Appreciate your feedback/help

    Hi Peter, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    This is rather what is expected when you are switching  from using Box Sync to Box Drive.

    With Box Sync, you could choose which folders to sync and which ones not to sync, as for Box Drive, it brings your entire Box folder tree to your desktop in a form of cache data.

    All the files you have access to on Box will be accessible from your desktop Box folder and it also now support marking files for offline access, so even if you are not connected to a network you will able to access your marked for offline folders.
