SeP Now Supports Box Desktop App 'Box Drive': Robust Security Without Sacrificing Usability

Humming Heads Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Edogawa-ku, Tokyo) has announced that its main product, 'Security Platform (SeP)', is now compatible with 'Box Drive', the desktop application for the cloud storage service 'Box'. This integration complements Box's security features, providing a more secure cloud usage environment while maintaining the core advantage of cloud storage: the seamless experience of accessing files and folders stored in the cloud as if they were on one's own PC.

◆ The Unstoppable Growth of Cloud Storage

Box Maintains Top Market Share in Japan

The momentum of cloud storage shows no signs of slowing. International market research firm FORTUNE BUSINESS INSIGHT reported in May 2026 that the global cloud storage market size in 2025 was $161.28 billion (approximately ¥25.7734 trillion). It is projected to grow to $197.8 billion (approximately ¥31.648 trillion) in 2026 and further to $809.99 billion (approximately ¥129.5984 trillion) by 2034.

Amid this significant global growth, the cloud storage market is also gaining many users in Japan. Notably, Box has secured the top market share in the domestic enterprise content collaboration (cloud storage) market for five consecutive years since 2021, according to a market report by research firm ITR. Box is a commonly used cloud storage service in many business scenarios.

◆ Granular Security Now Available on Box Drive

Reliably Preventing Information Leakage from Cloud Storage

While SeP already supported the browser version of Box, it now supports Box Drive as well. Specifically, autonomous controls such as 'hide folder', 'read-only', 'prohibit export', and 'read/write only' are now possible for the desktop version 'Box Drive'. Furthermore, the 'EDR Realtime Analytics History', which can instantly output detailed PC logs, allows for real-time confirmation of precise information regarding 'who', 'when', and 'what operation' was performed on Box Drive.

This 'meticulous and powerful security' reliably prevents the 'major damages' that local governments and companies could incur due to misconfigured access permissions or unauthorized access leading to the exfiltration of confidential or personal information by unauthorized users. A key strength of SeP is that users can continue to use Box Drive as usual without being aware that they are using robust security software.

Humming Heads' SeP offers supreme security while preserving the convenience and usability of cloud storage. Please try the latest version.
