Hi Emily, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

Please log out and log in from Box Drive: 

  1. Navigate to the search menu by going to the system tray and clicking the Box icon.
    • Alternatively you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B.
  2. Click the gear icon, and from the list that displays click Log Out.

Hope it helps!
