I have been using box for years and never had an issue until now. I can't open my files (word or pdf) on my MacBook Pro desk top. I am not getting any error message, they just won'e open.

Hi Linda, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

Have you tried to restart your MacBook pro if and observe if the issue persists?

Can you check if the Box desktop app you are using is running in the Activity Monitor and if it's the latest version? If its running, can you quite the app from the menu bar and then restart the app and see if that helps?

Let me know how it goes and if the issue continuous, please let us know what version on Box desktop app are you running and what macOS.

Looking forward to hear from you!

Regards,
