There doesn't seem to be any other way to submit these, so here goes...

I have run across two minor bugs running Box Drive on macOS 11 (Big Sur dev beta 8, latest BoxDrive):

1. The "box" menu item icon doesn't change between dark and light mode correctly.

2. Changing the display settings for the Box Drive folder inadvertently changes the settings in the Applications folder (e.g. open the Box folder and switch the view to "List mode" and close it. Open the Applications folder and it will display in "List mode", It you change this to "Icon view", close it and then re-open the Box folder, it will now display in "Icon view".

Neither of these are critical, but they're both annoying and seem like they would be easy to fix. Cheers.

    @William -

    Are you able to successfully use Box Drive on Big Sur Beta other than the above issues?  If so, how?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Rob,

    Other than what I noted above I don't have any issues running Box Drive version 2.17.176 in the betas of macOS 11 (BigSur). Prior to this latest release, it needed the (well documented) MacFuse hack. 

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for the reply and apologies for my ignorance.  I'll look into the MacFuse hack right away.  Thank you sir, stay safe.

    Just a quick comment to pop this back to the top. The dark mode box icon issue has been resolved, but the bug that causes the view settings in the "Box" folder to mirror those in the macOS "Applications" folder is really annoying. Has this been conveyed to the developers, and if so, is there an estimate on when it will be fixed?
