Since upgrading to this 2022 Mac Studio (M1 Max), I have never been able to get Box Drive to work. It works fine on my M1 MacBook Pro, so I don't think it's an Apple Silicon problem.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, including running "/Library/Application\ Support/Box/uninstall_box_drive"

I have tried running "defaults write com.box.desktop MacMode fpe"

I've tried all of the other tricks I could find posted here

Am I missing something else?

    Hi there, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    To help me better understand the issue can you please answer the questions below:

    1. Can you please provide a brief description of the issue you are seeing?
      • Example: "Files aren't showing up in my Box Drive folder, but I see them when I look on box.com."
    2. Please take a screenshot or screencast showing the error message or behavior:
      • There are several free tools you can use to create a screencast video. I recommend using Screencast-O-Matic or Jing.
      • Once you create the recording, please upload it to your Box account and send me a Shared Link set to 'People with the link'.

    Looking forward in assisting you.
