Hi there, I have no icons showing up on the Box desktop app (on a mac). Why is this and how can I tell if the files and folders are in the cloud or also stored offline?

Thanks.

Hi Joanna, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

If icon overlays and/or the context menu are not visible in Box Drive on your Box, please try disabling and then re-enable Box Drive's Finder extension.

To do this, go to System Preferences > Extensions > Finder, then clear and check Box Finder Extension. Or, you can refresh by force-quitting Finder and then re-starting it.

Hope that helps! Thanks for posting and let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
