Hi Jackie, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

Did you follow the steps in this article to manually reset Box Drive? https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697494-Using-Box-Drive-Basics 

When you manually reset your Box Drive, can you please confirm if you've followed step number 4 to delete the 'Box' folder in that location from Finder 

  • Delete this folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Box/Box

If this did not resolve the issue for you, can you try connecting to a different network/ Wifi and see if this makes any difference?

We'll wait for your update!

Regards,
