Box - Beta Client for Apple M1 Support

Issue/Question

• I have a Mac with the new M1 chip that I would like to sync Box to. Is there a Box client available for M1 Macs?

Environment

• Oregon State University
• Mac with M1 chip
• Box

Explanation

Box has released a public Beta client for Big Sur computers with the M1 chip. The beta Box Drive client requires Reduced Security mode. Box intends to release a version of the client later this year that will not require Reduced Security mode.
