Box says that the updated architecture will allow it to build new Box Drive capabilities on macOS more quickly going forward. The updated Box Drive experience for Macs is available today for all users on macOS Big Sur 11.5 and later and macOS Monterey.

iCloud Drive does it all, and better.
Personal yes. For businesses, iCloud is not the solution.

iCloud Drive is nearly perfect, but why can’t I manually purge downloads on iOS? I already listened to that file, I don’t want it sitting around taking storage, and I also don’t want files randomly disappearing off to the cloud. I wish they gave just a bit more control like on macOS. And allow the cache location be stored externally on macOS too.

You're lucky. Sometimes my iCloud Drive takes 10 minutes to upload a small 10 MB file.

Hopefully this works better than previous versions of Box Drive which have been TRASH.

Ironically, Apple uses Box internally and for ACNs. Mostly because iCloud can't be deployed in business and multi-user environments.
I can confirm you are talking total nonsense.

These "cloud" providers aren't what they advertised a decade ago. Not worth it for paying anything more than 50GB of data for most people. There's no realistic way most people would use more data than that on the cloud, unless if they're archiving data or storing media on there (which is also dumb). Cloud is horrible for archival data. If you have 100GB of data on there, and they shut the service or hike the price, you'd be screwed. The cheapest option is to setup your own server and NextCloud or Seafile. Even Google Drive ended "free" cloud storage for educational institutes. All that free stuff was just bait to get people reliant on the services. Best option is still to buy a machine with more storage (which apple makes unnecessarily expensive and impossible to upgrade for no reason), and then backup to an external hard drive.
