# Can I connect a Box account to Storage Studio?

Box isn't one of the account types you can add in Storage Studio right now. If you use Box Drive, Box's own Mac app, your Box files appear as a folder in Finder, and you can work with that folder in Storage Studio.

Add that folder as a **Local folder** account to give it a nickname for transfers, or pick it as an ordinary folder. Box Drive streams files on demand, so reading them may download them first. See [Local folder accounts](https://storagestudio.us/faq/cloud-accounts/what-is-a-local-folder-account).
