Hi, 

I want to link folders on box to folder on my local machine and the files in both the folders should stay constantly synced and up to date programmatically. Thanks

Hi, 

The closest thing Box offers for this would be Box Drive, which is an exact match to the items in your Box Account locally on your machine. Outside of that, you would need to write some code using one of our SDKs to achieve this - and have it scheduled to run on a time basis or running continuously. Unfortunately, I don't have a full sample code to provide for this use case. 

Thanks,
