WSL2 support for Box Drives
I am trying to utilize a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) terminal on my PC for linux. However, when I try to navigate to my Box folder I get an error:
-bash: cd: Box: Input/output error
Is there a path to mount correctly?

Hi Robert,
Welcome to the Box Community!
It looks like you are using a OS PC that is not supported by Box Drive.
Kindly take a look at this article to learn more on the system requirements to be able to install and run Box Drive:
Thanks for participation in this forum and let us know how else we can help!

Box is installed and runs perfectly fine on my PC. When exploring the directory through the GUI, or through the Powershell it sees the contents of the Box folder. But the WSL kernel cannot read Box's filesystem natively.
Luckily I was able to find a solution, explicitly mounting it to make it functional. In case anyone else runs into issues.
