Hello people, I’m learning Docker.

I’m facing an issue trying to mount on a BoxDrive folder - which appears to me as a mounted volume in windows.  
I’m running Airflow Containers (with docker compose).  
However, I can’t access the box associated path volume inside of my container.

In Docker compose yml:  
C:/Box:/opt/knime\_workflows/box

**Here’s what I tried.**  
1 - Using the terminal inside the container, access the folder. Didn’t work. I was not able to access the directory (the color was red in bash)  
Error: bash cd input/output error

2 - Created a network share in windows and updated the docker compose  
//BR00010169/BoxShare:/opt/knime\_workflows/box  
This time, I was able to access the …/box directory, but there was no files there.

3 - I found this topic explaining how to mount WSL in BoxDrive, but I was not able to run the commands people wrote there.

Do you folks have any idea of what could be done?
