  2. Right-click on the green ID icon .
  1. Select the "Box mapping" option.
  2. Click the "Browse" button.
  3. Select the location for your boxes in your computer's explorer.
  4.  Activate the "Box Directory" function.

If you want to access encrypted data in your local Box directory offline, additionally activate the "Offline" checkbox and set an offline password.
