Hi,
I have been a happy Box user for many years (I can’t even remember how many). I have always used Box Sync to share data between my units. This has served me well.
I recently started to use Box Drive instead, and now I am in trouble. My main audio production computer has a relatively small system drive. Instead, I have additional drives with large storage capacity for all my media content. This means I need to move the Box Drive folder to another drive, which I can do - great.
BUT… it seems that the Box Drive cache folder (which is located on the C-drive) fills up as Box Drive i syncing my folders. Is there a way to move this cache folder?
If not, the use of a larger drive for Box synced content is meaningless, and renders Box useless to me.

Is there a way round this?

Regards,

Fredrik

Box Pulse is used to track feature requests.  This one’s on that list, so I’d suggest adding your vote and any comments you think would be helpful.

The engineering teams regularly review these entries, so the more votes, the better!
