(Box also needs to store in c path above to enable the files to be open in their apps ie a word doc in word) It just makes copies.Ĭloud storage needs to store operational files on c drive for you to be able to sync to cloud (eg C:\Users\YOURNAME \AppData\Local\Box\Box). ( common eg being c to d drive)įrances suggestion above is, unfortunately incorrect if you want to move your downloaded files to another location. if you want to relocate to another drive it simply will not and is not for you. So to conclude for when I return, in hope, in the future.īox is a great product but. I both learned something new and am completely dismayed by what I learned.
In fact, the link above states "You can fill up your hard drive until you have 2 GB of remaining space." because these files aren't subject to the limitations placed on the cache behavior. If you read further down, you will see that you can modify the cache behavior but those rules don't apply to synced folders from your cloud account. The files in your cloud Box-folder are not affected.įiles in the cache folder and are governed by the rules under "Cache information and behavior" in. What happens to the files when you unsync the target folder? Nothing, unless you log out of Box Drive which causes Box drive to delete your entire cache folder. So where do those synced files go? Those go to the cache folder in your profile under c:\users\\AppData\Box\Box. When you exit Box Drive that junction point vanishes until you restart the Box Drive App. What changing the registry entry does is to just repoint the junction point for Box from one location to the new location. I was under the assumption that making the change in registry actually moved the location of the synced files to a different folder or different local drive. Let me start off with that my understanding of " Configuring-the-Default-Box-Drive-Folder-Location" was totally flawed.
