My workflow involves SD Cards containing thousands of photos. I want to upload these images to Box. When using Box Drive, can I simply drag the contents of the SD Card (external) to Box? Will this require enough space on my local hard drive? What is the best workflow to upload the contents of an external SD Card to Box? I do not have enough local storage space on my laptop to store the files during the transfer, so I need a solution to get the files directly from the SD Card to the cloud. Thanks!
