Is Box for Office available for Mac users? (link)

No, unfortunately not. From the Box.com website:

Box for Office is not compatible with the following products:

  • Office 2007 or older
  • Windows XP or older
  • Any version of Office for Mac
    • Unfortunately, the Mac version of Office is not nearly as extensible as the version on Windows, so it is not currently possible for developers to create as rich of an integration.

Why won't Box sync work on my Mac running 10.6.8? (link)

Box will not run on Mac 10.6.8. Apple dropped support of Mac 10.6.8 in February 2014, and since it's not being updated with security updates, Box has dropped their support of the operating system.

Is Box Edit already installed in the Innovation Lab? (link)

Unfortunately, no. It cannot be pre-installed in the lab environment.

That said, you may certainly use Box Edit. Box Edit will prompt you to install it any time you log into a computer, log in to your Box account, and then attempt to edit a file.
