If Box Drive made these identifiers accessible, this problem could be avoided completely.Box Drive is a Internet Tools software. It would be helpful to give major_project a sufficiently-distinct name.īox itself uses unique identifiers for folders and files these do not appear to be accessible from Box Drive. In this case, a workaround might be for AFauci to share the major_project folder, as it would appear in both accounts’ root folder. There’s no easy way to guarantee this, but do your best. Try to give the file or folder you are sharing a unique name.
Share only files or folders in your Box root directory.
To minimize path-portability problems, there are two things you can do: This is complicated because, on Box, shared folders are not guaranteed to have the same paths among different accounts.įor example, if AFauci shares the file major_project/key_file.csv with KHarris, it will appear in the root folder of KHarris’ Box account as key_file.csv the path is no longer portable.įurthermore, if there already exists key_file.csv in KHarris’ Box root folder, it will appear in KHarris’ account as something like key_file.csv. One of the goals of this package is to support workflows that are reproducible across different Box accounts. These are the standard locations to mount Box Drive you may have a custom location. MacOS: /Users/AFauci/Box/major_project/key_file.csv Windows: C:\Users\AFauci\Box\major_project\key_file.csv This path’s location on your computer depends on its OS:
Using Box Drive, files and folders are identified using paths, e.g. Let’s say that you wish to access a file in your Box filespace. The idea of boxrdrive is to make it easier to compose device-independent file paths to your local computer’s Box Drive. This may be useful in institutional settings, where you may not have access to a Box App, a requirement to use boxr.īox Drive provides you access to your Box files as a native part of your computer’s filesystem it relies on the same authentication method your institution provides when you log into the Box web portal. The goal of boxrdrive is to make it easier to access Box from your local computer, using Box Drive.
