    Perhaps it's time you changed those plans?

    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)

    Since Box has dismissed the idea once, despite its having TWICE THE VOTES OF ANY OTHER BOX DRIVE IDEA, I figured it's worth trying to get a ton of votes on a second 'idea' to make a point.

    Require Linux client please!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Initially, I would like Box to inform all of us if you have a deal with Microsoft and you can't provide a linux client. I know it's difficult but people needs transparency, we should definitely know if a linux client for Box Sync will be available.
    I would use more Box and consider for a paid account, only if a linux client will be available.

    Thank you

    I agree, box needs a linux client. I wass 100% sure it allready excisted and was shoked to learn that there was no linux support.

    Adding another voice to the Linux request. Previous comment is so spot on ( Nothing like building your software on the backs of FOSS and then not supporting it.)

    Developer on Linux here. Great job.

    Been waiting for years. Nothing like building your software on the backs of FOSS and then not supporting it.

    University researcher here. Not only does the server I use remotely run Unix, I've now switched my PC to Linux. I will be asking the university tech admin to put pressure on Box for Linux support or switch services.

    Please add Linux client support. This is needed especially by the research and HPC communities. Look at these communities and see how they use Linux heavily.

    There is other world beyond Win & Mac ... give it a try !

    But why? This idea has the biggest amount of votes! I thought you pick ideas for development based on the number of votes - otherwise what’s the purpose this site?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is it possible for a 3rd party developer to create and charge a small fee for a Linux client? I'd support that if it is not a violation of the API terms.

    make a plan, or address what technical limitation prevents Box from doing what other enterprise-grade content hub vendors already do

    Please allow native Linux BOX access. Thanks.
