We are excited to announce that the beta release of a new version of Box Drive for Windows devices will soon be available. This release means that even more users can experience the seamless file access and collaboration that Box Drive offers — packed with improvements for enhanced functionality, greater stability, and a smoother user experience, including:
-
ARM-based device support for Windows devices
-
Better local hard drive management to enable users to mark individual files for offline access, and control of a custom location for where their files are stored
-
File explorer update to show progress for key actions, such as marking content for offline access
-
Improved iconography support to ensure all Box Drive icons can be reliably displayed
-
Folder redirection to seamlessly sync root folders from their local hard drive directly into Box, providing a more integrated experience (coming later in this beta)
-
Full Box Drive application compatibility with Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps in the Windows ecosystem
Admins will be able to get access to this beta for their users. Please look out for an email at beta launch to get access.
