Hi Andreas, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help!

We recommend to manually reset your Box Drive: 

  1. Quit Box Drive if it is running.
  2. Open a Terminal window and run the appropriate command based on your macOS version and Box Drive version:
    macOS 11.x  and macOS 14.x with any version of Box Drive
    fileproviderctl domain remove -A com.box.desktop.boxfileprovider; defaults delete com.box.desktop; rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Box/Box

    macOS 12.x and macOS 13.x with Box Drive version 2.35 and 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

    macOS 12.x and macOS 13.x with Box Drive 2.36 and newer
    /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

    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:
      • ~/Box-Box (Archive) (macOS 11.x)

        Note

        If you already have a "~/Box-Box (Archive)" folder from a previous manual reset, the folder will be named "~/Box-Box (Archive) 2", or if that name is already taken, "~/Box-Box (Archive) 3", and so on.

      • ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box (<current day and time>) (macOS 12.x and newer)
    • Exclude from the above archive files that are “up-to-date” or synced on Box
    • Re-create the parent hierarchy of the archived files
  3. Restart Box Drive and follow the prompt to log back in.

Hope it works!
