I received messages that told me to delete box sync because it was now updated and no longer necessary. However, when I try to open files in BOX they often won't open. When I go back to Sync they will. There are files missing in Box, also. I would have been in a world of hurt if I had followed that message and deleted Sync. What do I need to do to fix these issues? It makes it so my bookkeeper often can't see things I upload.
I need actual help to resolve this!
Hi Jean,
Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist!
We strongly recommend switching to Box Drive.
We firmly suggest for this change in your environment as Box Drive is the current Box desktop experience, does not require manual syncing (though this is available through the mark for offline option), and the issue you're experiencing is likely to be resolved straight away after installation. By installing Box Drive from this link Box Sync will be automatically uninstalled, and any files that had not synced up to Box will be preserved in your old Box Sync folder.
