How can I tell if Box is in File Provider Extension mode or kernel-based mode? I'm being told I need to "Manually reset Box drive"
Question
File Provider Extension mode
Hi Bonzo,
Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!
Box Drive operates in one of two modes in macOS: kernel-based mode, or File Provider Extension (FPE) mode . The procedure to manually reset Box Drive on a Mac is different depending on if you are running Box Drive in File Provider Extension (FPE) mode or in kernel-based mode. Box Drive icons tell you at a glance the status of your files and folders. For details, please take a look at this article: Modes of operation in Mac
