Dell Hybrid Client version 2403 Administrator's Guide

Connect to Box cloud drive

From Dell Hybrid Client version 1.6 onwards, Box personal storage is supported. Box account is a personal cloud storage without any associated applications. If the Box account is configured along with an Azure or GCP corporate account, we can launch local files using Azure or GCP corporate account but you cannot launch the local files with Box cloud directly. This can be done by uploading the local file to Box cloud and opening the file using the respective personal Box account.

2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.

    The file opens with cloud. If there is no network (offline), you cannot open the file and an error message is displayed. However, if you have configured the local option in File Affiliation, and if the network connection is not available, you can access only the cloud files that are saved offline. Use Dell File Explorer to view the offline files.
