This issue is getting frustrating, it is the third time I experience this in the last 8 months and keep having to reset Box Drive, sign out, delete AppData folder, sign back in, to get some folders to respond when they randomly get this location not found error.

I have 15+ years experience with network and systems administration (win, mac, linux), so if a Box support person is going to respond/reply, please don’t ask basic questions about the network, everything on my end is 100% working fine except this Box drive app on this folder (was, until again, I sign out, delete Box AppData folder, and sign back in), the web version navigates to the folder just fine when the File Explorer “cloud operation” shows the time-out..

This post is being made so that it is at least documented, there has to be a root cause for this since I am not the only one experiencing it, and it did not just start. Having to sign out and back in and all that in order to get it working normally for an unknown amount of time should not be a solution..

 

On Windows 11 OS 25H2, Box Drive version 2.51.234...

 

​On web works perfectly fine..
