Hi support, in order to use crontab job that automatically copy some important files from local disk to box folder, I ask if it's possible to identify the box folder from shell (Mac Terminal). This worked until about 6 months ago after that the box folder from path </Users/it057217/Box/> disappears.
Regards.
Hi Massimo,
Welcome to the Box Community!
You might be running your Mac device on File Provider Extension (FPE) mode. In File Provider Extension (FPE) mode, Box Drive is built on Apple's File Provider Extensions (FPE) to provide seamless access and support on M1 and Intel-based Mac devices. This mode is supported on macOS 11.5 and above.
To visually determine whether Box Drive is operating in File Provide Extension mode, look in the Finder sidebar. In the Finder sidebar, the Box folder in FPE mode appears only under Locations.
The Box folder has a different mount location for FPE, compared to kernel-based Drive:
These are controlled by macOS, not Box Drive, and could change without notice
In FPE mode: ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box
For more information about the Box Drive Folder Provider Extension, please see this article.
