    Hi Mohammed, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Users can configure the location of the Box Drive folder on their devices to resolve issues around file-to-file linking via absolute paths as seen in many popular apps such as Excel, Word, InDesign, and so on. 

    One of the important point to highlight in the article I shared above is that customizing the Box Drive folder does not change where Box Drive stores its app data or cached files. With this article, you are only moving the location of the Box Drive mount point. The cache and app data locations remain unchanged, and there is currently no way to change this.

    Let us know if you have questions and we will do our best to help!
