We will be releasing a new version of Box Drive (v2.32), on Windows and Mac, that includes feature enhancements and bug fixes:
-
Native support for Apple Silicon on macOS: Box Drive runs faster and more seamlessly on Mac machines with native support for Apple Silicon processors.
-
Right click context menu to "View on Box.com" and "Copy Shared Link" in Windows Search - Windows users will be able to preview the file/folder on Box.com and copy a shared link when they right click on a search result in the Box Search UI
-
Improved reliability for syncing changes from local device to Box - Workaround for a macOS 13 system bug that under some circumstances keeps Box Drive from syncing changes from the local machine to the cloud. The underlying OS bug is fixed in macOS 13.3.
-
Required minimum version of .NET Framework - To support native execution on Apple Silicon and to update the included libraries, this release includes an upgraded version of Python. The updated Python version requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher to run. Hence, users who are on .NET Framework versions lower than 4.7.2 will not be updated to this version of Box Drive. Box Drive will continue to function for these users, however they will not be supported per our Desktop support policy. Once the user updates .NET Framework to v4.7.2 or higher, they will receive this Box Drive update automatically.
