Hello,

I have 2 hard drives on my PC. The C drive almost Full and the D drive which is empty.

I want the BOX files changed location from C drive to D drive because I have not any free disk space in the C drive.

Is It possible to do something like that?
And if yes, how can I safely migrate my data they are almost 90GB.

Thank you

    Yes, you can change the location of your Box folder to the D drive. To do this, go to the Box app settings, select "Move Folder," and choose the D drive as the new location.

    Make sure you back up your data before migrating, especially with large files like 90GB. After moving, Box will sync from the new location without any issues.

    Hope! It would be helpful.

    Yes, you can move your Box files from C to D drive safely. Close Box, copy the tally counter app entire Box folder to D drive, then in Box settings change the folder location to the new D drive path and let it sync.
