I’ve run Box for several years.  Sometimes, I’m unable to open Word even though Box Tools is installed.  I’ve always figured out a way -- refresh, restart, reinstall -- but today, nothing is working -- the final choice, install again, failed..  So, I’m unable to access my Box documents.  No reason to keep my account if I can’t access my documents.  Anyone able to help?

Hello,

Is anyone aware of how to get BOX to recognize when you have BOX tools installed? We have a personal plan so BOX doesn't provide support. We have our files with MS applications and we don't open and edit anything online amongst our small team. Any ideas?
