    Hi Leo, 

    Apologies however, we don't support/recommend using time machine to back up your Box folders because it doesn't work well with our products.

    Please take a look at this article for best practices to "Reinstall Box Sync on a New Computer" this also applies for Box Drive users.

    There should not be a need for back-up since all content is stored in the cloud accessible via Box.com

    Thanks for your participation in the community!

    Best, 

    France

    This goes against all the backup advice I have ever read. With only one backup, my files are not safe. With 2 backups, they are safer. With 3 backups--one offsite--they are much safer. Do you have any suggestions for the second and third backup?

    I couldn't agree more.

    Not being able to automate local backups of Box Drive is pretty awful. Yes, I mostly rely on the cloud, but sometimes the file versioning doesn't work out as planned. Also, deleting files cannot be restored. (!!) Having an automated solution like Time Machine as a local backup for redundancy is critical to me and my work. This shouldn't even be an issue!

    Quick update. Happy to report that after updating my Mac to Monterrey OS and updating Box, I can now backup my local Box files to time machine! Super helpful to have this working. Thanks Box team!

    Hi Jorge,

    How did you fix that?

    Box seems to be a virtual disk that is not recognized byTime Machine.

    Hi Jan -- Actually didn't do anything. Seemed to have fixed itself many version ago. My Mac is on Mac OS 12.4 and using Box version 2.26.348. 

    On my Mac the files are stored in Users\...\Library\Cloudstorage\Box-Box. 

    Hope this helps!
