install and syncronize box in a chosen folder
I am windows user. I wanted to install box and syncronize my box files in my local D: drive, because my C: drive is full. Surprisingly, the installation process of Box app does not provide such an option (of selecting which drive to install Box to). It by default is installed on C: drive . This is very insane. Windows Users can choose to install which drive to install any app.
My C: drive is full, and I want to syncronise everything both in cloud and in local computer, but i cannot do so because C: drive is full, and Box does not have an option (at least I cannot find it) to choose D: drive to syncronize. Because of this, I cannot use Box on my local computer, I have to unstall Box. Because of this, I have told my frields NOT to use Box. It is so inconvenient to use Box.
in both Dropbox and Google drive, users have option to select which folder to syncronize from a LOCAL computer. but on Box, one has to do such selection only on cloud. This is also very inconvenient.

I started using Box years ago because with Box Sync, I can do exactly this, store everything on a different drive. Nowadays, a lot of other storage options allow you to do this, so I'm using Box for two reasons - it's currently a reasonable price and I've always used it.
I recommend adding this feature to Box Drive - if Box Sync ever gets discontinued, I will be moving because I can't work without having my files synced to a different drive.
