Box Drive is a desktop app from Box that allows you to access all your files in Box from your computer without needing to download or sync those files first. This gives you the ability to work with these files that are saved in the cloud just as if they were on your desktop through Finder on your Mac or File Explorer on Windows.

You can also right-click any file or folder to take advantage of collaborative Box features such as sharing and locking, and in addition, you can mark content for offline use if desired.

Cost: Free
