Creating a junction to my Box Drive folder in Windows 11

Hi, I have Python code that uses a relative file path to point to data that is analyzed with the code. As long as the relative file path remains the same, this code can run on any computer with the code + data. My Python code is in a non-Box folder, but I want to use Box to store my data, and then use a junction ("mklink /J ...") to point to the data in Box. When I try to create the junction, it says "Local volumes are required to complete the operation." Is there a way to do this? It worked with no issues when I stored my data in Dropbox. Thanks in advance!
