If you have encountered an error in Box Sync and need to file a support ticket, our Product Support team may request that you include your logs to help identify your issue. Below are instructions on submitting your Box Sync logs to Box.
Note: Before submitting logs to Product Support, reproduce the issue first, and note the time and date when the issue occurs. Next, include that information in your support ticket when you confirm log submission. Knowing exactly when the behavior occurred can speed up the investigation of the issue.
To send Sync 4.0 logs to Box Support for debugging, go to the Help tab of your Sync Preferences window and select Submit Logs.
After submitting a log, a window will pop-up indicating a successful submission.
If you are unable to submit your Box Sync logs using the steps above, you can find them manually at the following locations. Compress and send the folders in these locations to the Box Product Support agent you are working with:
