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.

I decided to use Box as my primary online backup service. Then I found out there is no support for Linux. Google Drive it is.

Do the Box devs, or does anybody, have any another workarounds for now? I too would like a Linux Client.

Linux support is very important in this day and age. Please support at least Debian , Ubuntu , Red Hat, SuSE and Arch distros as well as their default desktop environments and file managers.

Linux client, please.

Would really appreciate box.com sync for linux. Thanks

Hi @rmashintchian,
could you please share with us, what are Box plans to support Linux users around the world using your service?
I can see your response from last year and I wonder if anything had changed.
Thank you for your understanding.

Please add a Linux Client

Add Linux Support.

Please add a Linux client

If ExpanDrive can make a Box client for Linux, why not Box?

For on-site automation work this would be a huge help! We could leverage on-site data stores, process data locally and distribute to the cloud very fast.

Specifically we're looking at on-site video transcoding from massive raw video files. To batch process these locally and distribute transcodes to Box without uploading the terabytes of raw footage to cloud process we can save time and money.

They will never do it. If they knew how to code properly it would be OS independent, They probably can't code and just use .net or something unsafe like that.
I wonder how safe the data is, coming from a company that can't code. Maybe what, 400 lines of code?

What would convince you to add this as a feature? It's clearly heavily requested.

Agree! Wee strongly need this on Linux!

Perhaps it's time you changed those plans?

+1!!!!

Without linux support box is a useless piece of software.

You have one of the biggest companies as a client and they use Linux in a lot of desktops, we need a linux client to be able to sync.

Box needs a Linux client (+1)
