Forced by Box to migrate to Box Drive from Box Sync, i can’t find a way to define where my box folder is, i need this to be on an external drive where i have plenty of space available, just like i have it with BoxSync. I have 2 workstations that i need to do this, one on windows and another on OsX.

 

please help.

Hi ​@Leo, 

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re here to discuss more regarding your Box install and mount location. 

 

Here’s where Box Drive will store your Box contents on your machine:

  • Windows: C:\Users<USERNAME>\Box
  • MacOS:
    • ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box

Note: External Drives and Network Drives are not supported mount locations.
