Random duplicate / temporary folders when saving files?

Hi Marissa, 

Hi France, I'm having the same issue - any chance we can troubleshoot? It's quite difficult to keep files clear, especially given shared folders. Thanks in advance for any guidance you're able to provide. 

Hi France, same issue I have files to share on this. Unfortunately they cannot be posted here.   User is using a Mac. The folders are not being saved in the Box.com folders, but show only locally. User is using a Mac and Box Drive creates the duplicate folder every time she saves a document. 

FYI, I had her re-sign into the box account.  It still happened.

The folders are empty. 0 KB. 

Thank you! 

Hi Patrick, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

We've seen this issue before with HP's Sure Click anti virus software, please check out this outside source: https://bromium.force.com/community/s/article/Bromium-Isolation-Monitoring-Services-Defined

Does your organization use this antivirus software? If yes, and if you do not wish those temporary folders to be created in Box Drive, we suggest excluding the Box Drive mount location from anti-virus scanning. 

If this is not the case for you, I would recommend submitting a ticket to Box Support team so they can further investigate. 

Best,

I don't have any virus software and FWIW I've been going back and forth with Box Support about this for MONTHS and am convinced that it is an issue requiring an update on their end. I have spent so much time recreating the issue, sending logs, trying to keep track of e-mail chains, sending folder names, upgrading software, reinstalling software... it's a rabbit hole and I hope this issue will see an actual solution soon.

Hello again France. 

The issue we were having was on a Mac, but after a remote session I found the user to be using a personal Mac M1 device and I cannot work on this. Please disregard.

Thanks!!!
