Box Sync
Box Sync is Box's desktop file synchronisation client for macOS, allowing users to keep a local folder on their Mac in constant sync with their Box cloud storage account. It works similarly to Dropbox or OneDrive — users can drag files into the synced folder, make changes offline, and the client automatically uploads changes and downloads new files from Box when the Mac is online. It was widely used by enterprise teams for secure cloud storage and collaboration, particularly in organisations already committed to Box as their primary file-sharing platform.

1 suggestionBox Sync is not supported on Apple Silicon devices and has been officially marked for end-of-life (EOL) in December 2026 — which is before macOS 28 ships in September 2028. Box has stated that the app will not receive a native Apple Silicon build and has moved users to Box Drive instead. Box Drive is the modern replacement and includes native Apple Silicon support. If you are still using Box Sync, you should migrate to Box Drive now rather than wait for the EOL date. Box provides step-by-step migration instructions to help admins and users transition their synced folders, account settings and workflows from Sync to Drive. The sooner you make this switch, the better — Box Sync will stop receiving updates and support very soon, and will eventually cease functioning entirely.
