Box has announced that the Box Drive has been updated with full support for Apple Silicon Macs, macOS Monterey compatibility, and other improvements.

Today, we're excited to announce that we've upgraded the Box desktop experience for Mac users. Building on the initial release of our support for Apple silicon Macs, this new version of Box Drive has been built using Apple's File Provider Extension APIs which offer a more secure and seamless experience in macOS.

New Features:
● Full support for Apple silicon Macs
● A more seamless and secure Box Drive experience on all Macs with new integration in Finder
● Box Drive compatibility with macOS Monterey
● Significantly streamlined install experience for Box Drive on all Macs
● Broader application compatibility by supporting Mac package files on Box Drive

The new architecture will also let Box add capabilities to its macOS app more quickly.

The new Box Drive experience across Macs is available today for all users on macOS Big Sur 11.5+ and macOS Monterey. If you are:
● A business or individual Box Drive user on macOS Monterey, the new Box Drive has automatically been enabled so you do not need to take any action.
● An individual user on macOS Big Sur 11.5+, the new Box Drive has automatically been enabled so you do not need to take any action.
● A business user on macOS Big Sur 11.5+, you can turn the new experience on by following the instructions on this page. It will be automatically turned on for you next month.
