Hi Kaori,

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

Please be advise that Box Drive folders cannot be mapped as a network drive and may cause issues.

This is currently a known limitation and you refer to this support article for details: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696454-General-Limitations-When-Using-Box-Drive
