Called Box Drive, it’s designed to make it easier for companies to do away with existing networked file sharing appliances and move all of their files to the cloud.
The feature works by downloading files onto users’ computers right when they open them. That means users who have hundreds of gigabytes of files shared with them don’t have to cram their computers’ hard drives full of all that data.
One of the key benefits of Box Drive is that enterprise users who are already used to accessing files from their computer will be able to use the same workflows that they’re familiar with to interact with all the files available to them in Box’s cloud.
In addition, Box Drive supports all of Box’s existing features, including its compliance and encryption capabilities, which is helpful for enterprise users with strict requirements in that regard.
