I have a box account that has both personal and work related folders on it. There is a specific folder I would like to share with everyone at work. I have already done this. Additionally, we have public computers at work that I would like everyone to access these folders on the fly through box drive. When I connect box drive to these public computers with my account it syncs both my personal and work related folders onto the public computer. Additionally I  have box drive on my own personal computer and I like it to be able to sync both personal and work related folders. Is there a way to make it so box drive syncs just the work related folders on the public work computers, but also syncs all my folders on my personal computer?

 

Thanks

    Hi Nathan, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Unfortunately, Box Drive does not offer the feature you asked to selectively choose specific content to sync to your Box account. Box Drive will always sync your entire Box folder structure in your computer.

    I suggest creating other accounts and use collaboration on contents that you only need to share to others on those accounts and keep contents on your personal account accessible only to your personal account.

    For any product feature request or suggestions, you may post your idea on pulse.box.com for more visibility. Our product team reviews all submissions and will consider whether to include feedback in their product roadmap. 

    Thanks for your post and participation in the Community!
