Box Drive brings your entire Box folder tree to your desktop. All the files you have access to on Box will be accessible from your desktop Box folder via either Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). With Box Drive, all the content you see in your Box folder is actually stored in the cloud (not on your machine). You can find any file in your Box folder, edit like you would any local file, and when you save, it saves automatically to the cloud.

Before you install Box Drive, you need to uninstall Box Sync. You cannot use both Box Drive and Box Sync on the same machine at the same time; they do not work well together.

To uninstall Box Sync:

1. Click the b icon in the Menu bar (Mac) or System Tray (Windows) and Quit the Box Sync application
   1. If you have files that still need to sync, let sync finish before you Quit or you may lose your work. The same applies for files that have sync issues/errors - fix the issues before you quit
2. Uninstall Box Sync by following these instructions from Box
3. Reboot your machine
4. Install the Box Drive app
