Create Linux client for Box Drive
Thanks for your feedback. We unfortunately don't have plans to support a Linux client for Box Drive at this time.

My organization prefers Box as their cloud drive. I live in a Linux world as I do a lot of bioinformatic analysis that works MUCH better on Linux. There really are no viable option now that WebDAV has been killed (ExpanDrive has a lot of issues including randomly deleting files in shared folders if the owner doesn't block that). Currently I have a Windows VM that I work with box files in, but I can't access Box on the Linux host. PLEASE, consider a Box Drive like client for Linux.

Only reason why I'm still using Dropbox versus only Box, not having a Linux client is a non-starter for me.

If you are not willing or able to make a Box client for Linux yourselves, you should make the client open source so others who are able to do this can fix the problem for you.

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

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.

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).
