I would like to have access to Box from the Linux desktop, in a manner equivalent to the Dropbox client which synchronises files in the Dropbox folder on my computer.

Sincerely, Secretary Baysieshed

    Yes, I agree with this. The current DAV/NAS linux option is not good enough for everyday use.

    Hi Everyone, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Box Desktop applications currently do not support Linux systems.

    If you need to access files from Box, you may login to Box.com from a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

    For more information on supported OS and browsers, please take a look at this article: 

    Thanks for posting and let us know how else we can help!

    Best,

    "Box Desktop applications currently do not support Linux systems."   <=  same story as when I last checked this forum a good couple of years ago.  Absolutely pathetic and the reason I don't recommend clients to Box.   I'l come back and check again in a few years if they've caught up with reality yet.

    Hi Michael, 

    It is currently not on our road map to support a Linux client for Box desktops apps at this time.

    If you would like to support this suggestion, you can add your vote and use case on the comment section in Box Pulse on its impact to your user experience: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box?query=linux%20drive 

    Thanks for following up on this and please let me know if you have any questions!

    Best,

    The lack of Linux support is definitively the single biggest issue with the Box.com service.

    Well - on my account with Box there is only Windows and Mac on the download page today.
    does this need to propagate into enterprise user accounts like mine ?
    Can you provide a link here to the download location ?

    Was this a joke?   I excitedly went to the Box Drive downloads page (I've only been waiting 7 years for a Linux app) and there's only downloads for Mac and Windows as before...    Could you please send a link to this Linux download please?
