After updating to MacOS Monterey, my box drive is missing from my home directory (/Users/*Name*/Box). Is there any way to get it back??

I had the same problem after a recent Box upgrade. My ~/Box folder disappeared.

From the Box icon, I could still open my Box folder. So I dragged one of the files into an editor -- the file was not in ~/Box but in ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box

So I opened a shell and made a symlink

cd ~
ln -s ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box Box

This restored all my other references to my files/folders in ~/Box (i.e. my VS Code workspace etc.)

Thank you so much! Mine was in the same place!

I had the same issue, and David Biesack's solution was perfect. This ought to be patched into the software, but for now, it's a great workaround.
