I have used Box for years, my design team work globally so its perfect to access and collaborate on files. Recently it has caused issues, clearing the cache has been the only option (loging out!).
I’m not new to the app, and I’m patient with updates and glitches, but I’m growing concerned at just how much hard drive space the app is using. Yes, we have over 2000 folders shared, but I currently have just two of them stored locally on my machine, this adds up to around 300GB of data in total. I have a 4TB hard drive, with roughly 3.2TB available before installing Box Drive.
So, I’ve just reinstalled the App and logged in, selecting my two folders I start work once they’re downloaded. As you’d expect there’s around 2.9TB available when I finish for the day. The next day during work, I’m alerted of a storage issue. There’s now only 190GB available on my HD and some apps are struggling. I always check where the space is being used and sure enough it is Box Drive, every time.
I then have to save everything, log out of Box and watch my HD creep back up to 3.2TB available, restart, then do the whole process again. How fun.
It is becoming tedious, especially as I’m drawing closer to a client deadline.
Have you had similar problems? is there something i’m missing or need to switch off…?
It’s becoming so regular I’m considering an alternative app.
Help!
