Consequently, should I use Box Sync or box drive?
Box Sync gives you access only to the folders you marked for offline access. Box Drive gives you access (1) to all your Box content while you're connected to the internet and (2) to the folders you marked for offline access when you're not connected to the internet.
One may also ask, does Box Sync store files locally? Box Sync allows you to choose specific files and folders to sync between Box and your desktop. The files are stored on your local machine, so you will be able to open and edit them without being connected to the internet (your changes will be synced to Box the next time you connect).
Similarly, it is asked, which is Better Box or Dropbox?
For customer-focused connectivity, Dropbox likely comes out on top,” Edmonson advises. Notably, Dropbox and Box both have different plan options—Box cloud storage provides four options whereas Dropbox cloud storage only provides three. Box's additional option provides more flexibility compared to Dropbox.
What is Box Sync used for?
Box Sync is a productivity tool that allows you to mirror data stored on Box to your desktop. You can then navigate and modify content stored on the Box website through your computer's native file browsing interface, without using a web browser. Content that syncs down to your computer are available for offline access.
