Verdict: Partly
Partly. Box Drive is offered for Windows and Mac only, with no Linux download, but the Box website works in a Linux browser so you can still reach and upload your files.
Box's downloads page offers Box Drive for Mac and for 64 bit Windows. Linux is not listed and there is no installer, so the drive letter you were used to seeing in File Explorer does not come with you.
The website does most of the job. Sign in at box.com in Firefox or Chrome and you can browse folders, upload, download, share links and see comments. What you lose is the convenience of files appearing inside your own file manager, so saving straight from a program into Box becomes download, edit, upload instead.
If this is a work account, ask your IT people before changing anything. Some organisations connect Box to desktop tools in ways that only work on Windows, and some set sharing rules that behave differently through the website.
There is no Box file format to worry about. Your documents, spreadsheets and photos are ordinary files and they download unchanged. If you want them to appear as a folder on Linux again, the practical options are to keep a working copy in a folder you sync with something else, or to use a different cloud service that does make a Linux app.
The closest replacement if you can choose your own service. Files appear in your file manager and it handles shared folders and links.
Your files: No Box import. Download your files from Box once and upload them.
Has a proper Linux app, so if the drive in your file manager was the point, this restores it. Paid beyond a small free tier.
Your files: No Box import. Files move by downloading and re uploading.
For matching folders between your own machines rather than storing them with a company. No sharing links.
Your files: Works on plain folders. No Box connection.
