Mapping Box Location to Windows Explorer

Hi Altijani, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

Unfortunately, this is something that's not supported in Box at the moment.

If this is something you would like to be able to do, I would highly recommend submitting this feature request at pulse.box.com! Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.

It used to be supported - I was using this until last week when I had a permission problem at work and IT support had to re-grant me access to Box. Now it has gone away. Was here looking for how to reinstate.

I just tried to go do pulse.box.com to see if this suggestion is there.  It was *impossible*!  I cannot find anything there.  Furthermore, it seems impossible to me that it's not there, so I don't trust the searching.  I have to "guess" the right sub-topic first!  What the?  This is appalling that this basic feature of virtually every other cloud service isn't available. 

There is a work around. You can mount your Box junction to a drive letter.
I did this and it works! It allowed me to have a drive letter mounted to Directory Opus that had my Box Drive contents.

Open a DOS Prompt and run:

subst [DRIVE LETTER]: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Box

Example:
subst E: C:\Users\jsmith\Box

You will then have a Drive Letter mapped to your Box Drive

Better yet: use substitutions with subst;

ex: subst B: %USERPROFILE%\Box 

That way you can put into your network wide login scripts

Is Box still not supporting this? Only issue with the examples above is that it shows a disconnected network drive and some apps(Microsoft Access) will not see it as valid.

Not sure why no on has mentioned this, but you just need to download the box desktop app. Once you have that, Box will be an option in file explorer. Just did it.
