Hi,

I've seen a lot of messaging from Box recently about Box Sync not supporting Apple Silicon Macs and recommending using Box Drive instead.

I don't use a Mac, so this is a general question.

Is Box Sync going away in the future for Windows too?

Thanks!

  Box has indeed been pushing for users to transition from Box Sync to Box Drive, and this shift is primarily due to Box Sync's limitations and the newer features offered by Box Drive. While Box Sync is being phased out on Apple Silicon Macs, there's no official word yet about Box Sync being discontinued for Windows.

  Box Drive is designed to be a more modern solution with better integration and performance, and Box recommends it for both macOS and Windows users. The move towards Box Drive reflects a broader trend of updating tools to improve user experience and compatibility.

  If you’re using Box Sync on Windows, it might be a good idea to start exploring Box Drive , as it could become the primary focus of Box’s development and support in the near future. Official Site
