I am using one Box Sync account and I use it on my laptop and PC. In one particular folder I have files missing however they are present on my other device in the Box Sync Platform. How can I complete the folder?

      Hi John, 

      Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

      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.

      This article explains the difference between Sync and Drive: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697354-Switching-from-Box-Sync-to-Box-Drive

      This article goes into a little more detail about Box Drive and its basic functionality: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697494

      Hope it helps!
