Can I move the BOX folder to "D" or "F" or any drive? Or can I install the Box application somewhere other than the "C" drive

    Hi Bakos,

    Welcome to the Box Community! I'm happy to help.

    1. Create the parent folder where you want the Box Drive folder to display -- for example, C:\ or C:\Cloud or D:\This\Is\A\Folder

      • When Box Drive launches, it creates a folder called Box in this folder.

            Note

          The path does not need to be under the C:\ drive but it cannot be on a network drive or external drive.

    1. Create an new string value (REG_SZ) using the Registry Editor tool under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Box\Box called CustomBoxLocation

    2. Set the value of CustomBoxLocation to the path of the folder you created in step 1.For example, if you want the Box Drive folder to appear under C:\Cloud:

    NameTypeValueCustomBoxLocation(REG_SZ)C:\Cloud

    1. Restart Box Drive.
