Hi guys, I'm on a old Mac OS High Sierra with Box app Version 4.0.8057, actually my Box Sync folder is in the path SSD\users\user\Cloud\ and I'd like to relocate it in my second HDD internally connected in HDD1TB\Cloud.

Please can you explain me how to achieve that ?

Many thanks, Roberto.

Hi Roberto, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

Please be advised that you will only be able to change the location of Box Sync folder during the installation Process.

Hi, many thanks. So, should I stop syncing, remove the Box app and run again the setup selecting a new path ?

Should I download again in the new path all the folder content actually in the cloud ? No way reusing all the data on my pc to speed up the sync process ?

Best,
