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.

Box Drive beta is complete, and this capability is now available in the latest public release. To install the Windows version with ARM support, visit https://www.box.com/resources/downloads.

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.

Any update on this, please? This should be a priority for the Box development team, as the number of Windows ARM computers will continue to grow.

Whole team is running on Copilot PC. We need to cancel Box if this is not resolved and move to OneDrive.

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.

We're going to have several hundreds of ARM in the 3 coming months. Should we stop using Box Drive as it's definitely not compatible.

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

Box developers, please add support for windows ARM. As noted by all the other prior commenters, there is an increasing number of windows ARM devices on the market now and Box is already supported on Apple's ARM silicon. Is there a technical limitation with windows ARM or is it just a matter of prioritization?
