I work on an iMac at my office at my home office and we share files through Box. I can still download via the website but this is causing issues with my daily workflow. Any idea what the issue is? My iPad and phone work ok

I also work on a mac and have the same problem. I find it poor that box.com has not responded to your message.

Hi,

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

Can you try to quit Box Drive from you menu bar and then start the app again?

If that doesn't help, can you let us know what Box Drive version are you running and what macOS?

We'll wait for your response!

Regards,

8238134862995, Thank you. This resolved it for me. It's curious that this worked while restarting my computer didn't. I think the reason for this difference is because my computer was re-opening files from my Box drive automatically upon rebooting. So, perhaps the app never fully restarted.
