Hi - I just switched from Box Sync to Box Drive, and while Box Drive integrates with macOS Finder, I can't figure out how to make Box Drive files visible in either the 3rd party Path Finder or ForkLift file managers. Is that not possible with Box Drive?

I received the following configuration instructions for ForkLift from the BinaryNights support team:

From the menu of ForkLift, open Go > Go to Folder or use the keyboard shortcut Shift-Command-G and paste the following path into the pop-up and hit Enter: ~/Library/CloudStorage
There might be more folders in this location than your Box folder. The Box folder is called Box-Box. Drag and drop this folder into your sidebar and through that favorite you will be able to access your Box account. You can rename that folder in the sidebar by right-clicking and selecting Rename.

Worked for me and hope this info helps others as well.  Thanks to Jenni from BinaryNights Support!
