I need to sync from my desktop to box temporarily.  If this is not a feature of box, can I use robocopy to sync from my computer to box?

If you are using a PC you can shadow-map Box Drive to a mounted drive letter using a simple command line script

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

so like this:

subst X: C:\Users\DWalters\Box

and then you can use Robocopy to punt to X:
