How to schedule backup from Box to external hard drive
Hello,
I'd like to do the opposite of what most people use a automated scheduled backup, in that I'd like to backup all files on Box to an external hard drive. This is a request from my boss, so this is what I'm trying to find out.
Is there a way to do this? I can just select files and folders via the desktop app and copy them to the hard drive, but I'd prefer an automated process with incremental backups.
Is this possible?

Yes - I use sync folders pro on mac. It's super clunky but seems to work.
I just voted on this:

Thanks - I think I have got Sync toy working a bit better ( using Echo instead of Contribute ) . I have to sync each top level folder separately but it is not too onerous as I am not looking at huge volumes/volatility of change in a small charity
Sync folders looks good but I am on Win10

You could use box sync and Veeam Community edition
Or here are a few other paid options

Based on the outage yesterday with AWS has there been any movement on this feature? I was told by Box Tech Support that I would never have to worry about losing access to my data due to the redundant Data Centers but this does not seem like the case. I would like a utility that I could schedule a sync to a local external hard drive - this is a MUST in the Business community.
