I wonder if they would do better with an English version of their website? I was looking for something exactly like this early last year and I found no mention of it (and googling in English doesn't bring it up now either).

Don't hold your breath for Box Sync to be fixed--it wasn't working right previous to Big Sur being delivered. Box Drive seems to be the only software that works semi-reliably these days.
