Hi Tomasz, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

For your Box Drive application to be operational again, manually reset Box Drive:

To manually reset Box Drive on a Mac (File Provider Extension mode): 

  1. Quit Box Drive if it's currently running.
  2. Open a Terminal window and run the following command:
    fileproviderctl domain remove -A com.box.desktop.boxfileprovider; 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)

      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.

    • 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.

You may restart your machine and re-launch Box Drive then try again. 

Hope it works!

Let us know how it goes and we'd love to hear back from you,
