Today Box introduced the public beta of Box Drive, their new desktop integration that allows people to browse and access all the enterprise content they have access to, without having to synchronize the folders and files down to their local computer.

It's interesting to note, today's public beta release comes exactly 3 years after Box's acquisition of Streem. Coincidence?
