    Hi Erika, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!
     
    This would be something our Box Support team would like to investigate with you and may require specific account information. 
     
    I've gone ahead and created a ticket for you so that an agent can work directly with you on looking into this. Please check your email for details and updates.

    Thanks for your patience!

    Best,

    I also just downloaded the latest version of Box Drive from https://www.box.com/en-gb/resources/downloads and installed it on my Mac Book Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.1. As soon as I re-launched Box Drive it gave me the "You installed an older version of Box Drive on top of a newer version." error message.
    I also went through an un-install - install cycle (using the version provided by my employers (IBM) app store with no success. 

    I do rely on Box Drive for my daily work, so any quick help would be appreciated!

    Updated with some log file information: from Box_Streem_2_2021-01-06.log:

    We deploy Box updates to 20+ Macs and have only 1 user (so far) who has this issue. MacOS 10.15.7 here.

    Quick update: Earlier today I got prompted for an update to Box Drive Version 2.19.294. I installed the update and luckily this fixed my problem reported above. The error dialog and crash are gone and it looks like I’m back in the game using Box Drive :)
