Hello! Is it possible to map "My Documents" folders to user folders in Box via Box Drive? The idea is to discourage users from storing content locally by keeping the familiar "My Documents" experience but with a different outcome - storing to Box.

Thank you!

    Hi Vincent, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    To answer your question, the Box Drive folder cannot be mapped as a network drive.

    This is actually one of the limitations when using Box Drive as stated in this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696454-General-Limitations-When-Using-Box-Drive

    Thanks for your question and participation in the Community!

    Best,

    Hi France,

    I'm able to map the Windows Documents library (not a network drive) to point to a folder in Box Drive e.g. right-clicking the library and selecting Properties > Location tab > Move and selecting a Box Drive folder.
