![]() ![]() Having a very established Box Sync workflow, that included ‘absolute file pathing’ between team members, it was a bit scary to make the switch to Box Drive. This means that there is no web-based control for ‘Sync Folder’ or similar, the setting is basically on the client device. Another key difference is that Box Drive will always show you all of your files and folders, and it will download them on-demand (unless set to keep offline). On the other hand, Box Drive uses a 25 gb transparent cache, and you can still mark certain folders to keep them offline. ![]() Box Sync actually struggles to scan through the entire folder structure – so much so that it sometimes never quite catches up in a 24 hour period. I was syncing over 1 tb of data across many thousands of project files, so I could see the advantage of a more ‘on demand’ system. Recently, Box has been pushing people away from Box Sync and into Box Drive. It is an incredibly robust file sharing tool and it has rarely let me down even though we have used it extensively on many large BIM and VDC projects.
