Box Drive for Windows on Arm
With the release of new Copilot PC by Microsoft and other partners that run on Arm processors it would be nice to be able to install Box Drive on Windows on Arm.
We are currently running a private beta to test ARM support for Box Drive. If you are interested in testing this ARM supported version of Box Drive, please reach out to me at flesi@box.com

Box has been supported on ARM-based Apple Macs since 2020, the first year Apple shipped ARM-based Macs.
Microsoft shipped their first ARM-based version of Windows in 2012.

Been with Box for more than 10 years now, and I hate to say it like this, but there is only one real solution here: unchain yourself from Box. ARM processors have been around long enough, and like one commenter said, are becoming for too popular to be ignored by a company of Box's size and pedigree. If "way behind the cutting edge" Broadcom can eventually get their devs to create a ARM-supported VMware Fusion, Box can as well.
This is America, and the only thing that makes these corporations move is market share. Start migrating away from Box and see how quickly they get an ARM-supported version released. I only use the free version (in my personal life), but professionally, I could not in a million years imagine paying a corporation thousands (if not millions) of dollars, just to *beg* them to support commonplace hardware. Thus, at work, we migrated away from Box to a competitor. Do the same, and see how quickly a solution rolls out after the stockholders go crazy. -

You guys need to resolve this now or provide an ETA. We are already looking at alternatives.

I will echo the community. We NEED Box Drive to have a NATIVE Arm version!
I'm an IT Professional working at a major university, where we have relied on Box for many years. As laptop and Surface technology moves to Windows ARM, we need a native application to install on our user base. Not having Box Drive is just more than a simple inconvenience, it forces IT Administrators (me!) and users to find practical solutions for their every day use. We are starting seeing users "go wild" and use other cloud based storage solutions.

im very disappointed that I can use BOX on my new computer, it is annoying to use the cloud version. my whole business runs on BOX, all my workers are remote and we are all constantly upgrading computers. I am going to have to find another storage facility and transfer everything. very disruptive to my business. and very annoying for me

Box and windows copilot PC have much of an overlapped user population. We need this.

Adding my request to the pile. Drive doesn't even work with the compatibility layer... either would be great, native ARM is ideal.

This needs to be resolved ASAP. Our team can no longer use box now that we have all switched to Windows ARM laptops.
