Desktop Sync Built for Business

Box Sync goes far beyond simple storage. We've said 'sayonara' to old versions, colliding edits, email attachments and out-of-sync updates.

Select What You Sync

Desktop sync lets you access the content you work with most! It couldn't be faster or easier:

Choose how many – or how few – Box folders you access from the desktop

Sync existing files on your desktop to your Box account in seconds

Create new folders from the desktop and sync to Box instantly


Access Files Offline

Desktop sync makes it easy to access Box content from your desktop, even if you're offline:

Synced files and folders are always available on your desktop, with or without a connection

Update or add new files while offline; they’ll be automatically synced after connecting

Files added by co-workers or other collaborators are downloaded when you're back online


Get Your Business In Sync

With desktop sync, your Box content is synced to your desktop, workflow accelerates and everybody’s more productive:

View and edit Box files – and shared folders, too – right on your desktop

Every time you edit a file, your team immediately receives the updated version

Access synced content anywhere, from any device: phone, tablet, you name it


Manage Conflicts

When you’re working on multiple projects with different stakeholders, it’s bound to happen: Two people make edits at the same time. No worries – desktop sync is up to the challenge.

Sophisticated conflict management automatically detects simultaneous changes

File copies are quickly saved, so your team can review any version discrepancies

Email notifications – alerting you if a colleague edits one of your synced files – reduce conflicts

System Requirements

Desktop sync is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and 7, with support for 32 and 64-bit editions. It also supports Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Lion (10.7).
