please add a Linux client so I can stop recommending other solutions to share files...

Need a box desktop folder to sync files from my Linux/ubuntu desktop to my box.com account. Till then, sorry to see you go

You should really move this up your agenda and get the support for Linux as soon as possible

Please consider to make the application for GNU/Linux.
I really need to put Box on my file server to have also a local backup of my data.

Thanks for this

This lack of a Linux client continues to be a significant issue. It really is crazy that there's not even a plan to create a linux client.

It really is a shame that this is not planned... I would love to see this idea being re-evaluated

it's a shame is not planed, I have been literally waiting for years for a official linux client, I guess I will keep using dropbox longer time.

Please support Linux.

As someone who has to use Linux in a professional/academical environment, a Linux client would be great. My university provides us with a Box account but a lot of teams work on Linux and we have to resort to other services.

Many services already support Linux like Dropbox and others and there seems to be a huge demand for it. It seems that the first requests for a Linux client date back to 2016 and porting the macOS client should be possible since Linux and macOS are both Unix-like/Unix systems.

Linux is here to stay.. so a Box Drive client for Linux would be great!

I would like to see a box client for my Operating system, my company uses box as its world wide file share service and provides a linux OS. I can not understand how in 2020 with so may users choosing or being required to use Linux Box would not support it.

Dropbox supports Linux just fine. Just saying.

Also, Linux has handled remote filesystems well for decades. We even have FUSE (filesystems in userspace).

My research group can use box through our institution for free. Yet we still pay for Dropbox for half a dozen people because half the workstations in our group run Linux.

Same situation in the startups I work with. Not having a client for Linux is ruling out box as a team wide option because some crucial machines need to run on Linux. We can't use it even if it were free.

"not planned" is a super sad status for the linux client.

We need this in higher ed.

My employer provides a Box enterprise account. We have tens of thousands of Linux users, yet there is no proper Linux support. When we were first signed up, we were assured internally that there were plans in place to work with Box to port the client. Then the ink dried on the paper and things went quiet...

(Of course, I have no idea what was actually discussed, and the purchasing is nothing to do with me.)

Only having the web interface means that Box is all but useless to me.

It seems particularly mad because Linux has very good support for networked filesystems. We even have a FUSE interface, so filesystems can run in userspace.

How can you talk about shaping the future of your product but excluding Linux from your roadmap?

714 votes, 132 coments and still you don't see a need for a Linux client?

This is very sad. I guess I'll continue to use Dropbox instead on the destkop at home and at work.

I'm a university professor and would use Box with most of my collaborators if synchronisation with Linux was possible. My university does not permit the use of Dropbox and provides Box instead. That's fine, in principle, but I'm not using it for writing papers or managing data or projects with any of my PhD students, co-authors, or project partners, because none of us can use it properly. Instead we are keeping separate local directories and exchange files by email, which is not optimal. I really wish there was Linux support.
