You can create a “Junction” to any folder on your computer inside your “Box Sync” folder, and then all of your files in that folder will be automatically synchronized to box.

1. open cmd window
2. cd to the Box Sync folder, for example

   cd "\Users\some_username\Box Sync"

3. find the path to My Documents, for example “c:\users\some_username\Documents”
4. in the cmd window, enter

   mklink /J "My Documents" "c:\users\some_username\Documents"

5. If it is successful, you will see “Junction created for My Documents <<===>> C:\Users\some_username\Documents”
6. Verify that it works with

   dir "My Documents"

7. You can repeat the process for you “Desktop” folder, or any other folders on your computer

If you need to remove this junction later, use e.g.

rmdir "\Users\some_username\Box Sync\My Documents"
