This error is showing up after upgrading to Big Sur, however I am not running an M1 processor, rather an Intel i9, MBP 2019.

Hi Clint,

Welcome to the Box Community!

Can you try to uninstall and then reinstall Box Drive and see if that helps resolve this for you?

If the issue persists, please let us know and provide what macOS version are you running so we can further troubleshoot.

Thanks for your participation in the forum!

Best,

Same symptom with my laptop. After it update to Big Sur 11.6, Box drive no longer load and I have checked its extensions had enabled. 

Laptop information:

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)

Processor 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
