File creation and editing Whether youre creating a new document or editing a PDF, any changes you make will automatically save to Box. The search bar makes it quick and easy to access the content you need. Sign out and back in to the Dropbox desktop app to ensure that all of your preferences are moved as well. Let Dropbox move your folder and its contents to the new location. Select the new location for your Dropbox folder.

Users should sync only the folders and content they work with on a daily basis. Search all of Box or within a specific folder to locate the file you need. Click Move (Windows and Linux), or Dropbox location (Mac).

We have chosen not to download all of the metadata (and then keep it up to date with changes) as this can result in a large performance, storage and bandwidth tax which is not scalable – especially in environments where users interface with millions of files/folders. Box Sync enables you to choose specific files and folders to sync between Box and your desktop and keeps them synchronized. This would cause the search results in Explorer/Finder to be inconsistent for users – sometimes they would find a file and other times they may not if the metadata and file were evicted.

This eviction process is not visible to users and it is not easily predictable. Instead, it is downloaded on demand and then evicted when it is no longer relevant. We are currently not planning to implement this feature and will continue to prevent all Box Drive results from appearing in Explorer/Finder searches.īox Drive does not download the all of the metadata (File name, folder structure, etc.) of your Box content.
