Hi @CHRISTELLE  Welcome to Box Community! Sorry for any limitations as we’re only able to provide support in English.

Based from the error, it appears it’s related to Box Drive. Box Drive provides user notifications if there are any issues saving your changes to Box. This is outlined on our Box Drive Common Error Messages and How to Resolve > Miscellaneous Box Drive Error Notifications.

To find a list of any problem file notifications:

• Click the Box icon in your menu bar or system tray to open the Box Drive Search Bar.
• Click the Gear icon (lower right corner for Mac, lower left corner for Windows) for more options, then click Error updating an item...
• All problem file notifications will be listed here. They should disappear automatically once you have resolved the issue. If they do not, and you believe you have already resolved the issue, you can click Retry All to manually retry your actions.

Furthermore, please check the list of error messages on Miscellaneous Box Drive Error Notifications support article for the problem file notification type you've received. If an Error Code is included in the problem file notification, use that code to identify the error. Click the link for more information. You can also search this article (using the Find tool in your browser) for the Title or Error Code (when applicable) of the notification you received.

Hope this helps and I look forward to have this sorted out. 

The two errors I have ‘Upload Error’ based on not having permissions to a folder and a second ‘OneDrive’ about a folder being deleted on box, but not on my machine (and doesn’t give me a location to even check where they are...) do not appear in the Misc Box Drive Error support article.   So I cannot just ‘resolve’ my issue for them to go away.  Is there a way to acknowledge and remove the errors? 

Hello @TimWood  Welcome to Box Community!

As you’ve mentioned about ‘One Drive’, first, I would like to confirm if the ‘Upload Error’ is related to One Drive as well? If so, you will be needing to get in touch with Microsoft as they’re the ones supporting One Drive. You may also check their article: Troubleshoot issues with OneDrive to help resolve your concerns.

If this is related to Box Drive (or any Box services) that we support, please let us know. Please also include the exact error message/s to investigate it further.

Have a good one! 

I have the exact same problem. These error messages show up every morning and there is no way to clear them other than to Retry them. They are legitimate errors where the solution was to do something different, which I did, and my initial issue was resolved. However, these error messages persist, and retrying them will always produce the same error. There is no “dismiss” option. Since retrying them will will always produce the same error, there is no way to get rid of these errors.

Box Support documentation gives no other option but to Retry. There is nothing listed about clearing messages that cannot be resolved by retrying. 

Thanks,

Christal

Same issue.  I cannot remove these errors and cannot fix them.  How do I dismiss them?

Hi ​@christal-r and ​@JoelBarnett  Thank you for bringing this up to our attention. While we only have option to “retry” the issues found and not to dismiss, we’ll take it as a feedback and we would appreciate if you share it here.

If you’ve already tried resolving the issue based from the error messages and resolution listed in our Miscellaneous Box Drive Error Notifications, and messages still show up, you may try to manually reset your Box Drive and let's see if the issue will still persist. Otherwise, you will need to submit Box Drive logs and open a ticket to our Product Support.

Please check the instructions to reset Box Drive:

To reset Box Drive on Windows:

1. Exit Box Drive (if it is running). If necessary, use Task Manager to end the Box.exe process.
2. Ascertain whether any files exist in C:\users\iUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Box\Box\unsyncedFiles. These are files that have not been uploaded to Box. If these files do exist, and if you want to keep them, copy them to any location outside of C:\users\oUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Box\Box\ (such as your desktop). Proceeding with the steps below deletes these files.
   • You may need to show hidden folders to see \AppData.
3. Delete this folder: C:\users\ USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Box\Box.
4. From RegEdit, delete the registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Box/Box to clear Box preferences.
5. Restart the Box Drive and follow the prompt to log back in.

To manually reset Box Drive on a Mac:

 Important Note: It's imperative to confirm what version of Box Drive and MacOS you are utilizing before resetting with these steps. Running the incorrect command could cause data loss.

Confirming MacOS Version:

1. Click on Apple logo in your menu bar (top left of Mac Desktop screen)
2. Click About this Mac
3. MacOS version can be viewed here

Confirming Box Drive version:

1. Click the Box icon in your menu bar or system tray to open the Box Drive Search Bar.
2. Click the Gear icon in lower right corner
3. Click About Box Drive
4. Box Drive version can be viewed here

Steps to reset after confirming versioning:

1. Quit Box Drive if it's currently running.
2. Open a Terminal window and run the following command:

If you have macOS 11.0 OR macOS 14.0:

fileproviderctl domain remove -A com.box.desktop.boxfileprovider; defaults delete com.box.desktop; rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Box/Box

If you have macOS 12.0+ and Box Drive 2.35 or earlier:

/Applications/Box.app/Contents/MacOS/fpe/streem --remove-fpe-domain-and-archive-unsynced-content Box ; defaults delete com.box.desktop; rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Box/Box

If you have macOS 12.0+ and Box Drive 2.36 or later:

/Applications/Box.app/Contents/MacOS/fpe/streem --remove-fpe-domain-and-preserve-unsynced-content Box ; defaults delete com.box.desktop; rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Box/Box

1. This command will:
   • Archive all files that are not synced (not uploaded to Box) from "~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box" and move it to a new folder at "~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box (<current day and time>)”
     • The folder will instead be "~/Box-Box (Archive)” if you’re on macOS 11.0
   • Exclude from the above archive files that are “up-to-date” or synced on Box. If there are no files to archive, the archive folder will not be created on disk.
   • Re-create the parent hierarchy of the archived files
2. Restart Box Drive and follow the prompt to log back in.
