Folders disappeared after update

Hi Alice, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

Please try to manually reset your Box Drive application: 

To reset Box Drive on Windows

1. Exit Box Drive (if it is running). If necessary, use Task Manager to end the Box.exe process.
2. Ascertain whether any files exist in C:\users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Box\Box\unsyncedFiles. These are files that have not been uploaded to Box. If these files do exist, and if you want to keep them, copy them to any location outside of C:\users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Box\Box\ (such as your desktop). Proceeding with the steps below deletes these files.

• You may need to show hidden folders to see \AppData.

Delete this folder: C:\users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Box\Box. From RegEdit, delete the registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Box/Box to clear Box preferences. Restart the Box Drive and follow the prompt to log back in.

To manually reset Box Drive on a Mac (File Provider Extension mode)

1. Quit Box Drive if it's currently running.
2. Open a Terminal window and run the following command:

   fileproviderctl domain remove -A com.box.desktop.boxfileprovider; defaults delete com.box.desktop; rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Box/Box

   This command will:

   • Archive all files that are not synced (not uploaded to Box) from "~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box" and move it to a new folder at "~/Box-Box (Archive)

     Note

     If you already have a "~/Box-Box (Archive)" folder from a previous manual reset, the folder will be named "~/Box-Box (Archive) 2", or if that name is already taken, "~/Box-Box (Archive) 3", and so on.

   • Exclude from the above archive files that are “up-to-date” or synced on Box
   • Re-create the parent hierarchy of the archived files
3. Restart Box Drive and follow the prompt to log back in.

Hope it helps!
