After syncing Box with my desktop I am now missing dozens of files and not old ones - ones that I have recently used in the past couple of weeks.

 

They are not in my trash.

Hi there, 

Welcome to the Box Community! 

For me to check, may I please have the following: 

  • Screenshot of what it looks like on Box Drive? 
  • Have you tried log out/in of the Box app?
  • Are the files synced is a collaborated files or owned files?

In the meantime, please try to manually reset your Box Drive. See steps here: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697494-Using-Box-Drive-Basics

Looking forward in assisting you.

Yes, tried logging out and logging back in. Synced everything multiple times. Checked trash.

I have manually reset Box. My files were no where to be found in any unsynced folder. I uninstalled Box and then reinstalled it. Still no files.

Also, the files that are missing are owned. No collaboration with anyone else

This is the path for one of my missing files. Cannot open it though as it says it has been deleted or is inaccessible.
