I had some issues with Box not syncing my files, so I tried updating the application and restarting my computer. With that not working, I had to uninstall the app then re-install, but now I'm getting a message saying "Box encountered an issue" and that i need to manually reset. The process of manually resetting isn't user-friendly at all. Can someone please help with this issue?
