Box app download on Macbook pro not working/opening!!
My Box drive wasn't syncing properly on my macbook pro so I deleted the app and all Box related files from my Macbook pro. Consequently, I downloaded the new version of Box (v 2.18.117) and after attempting to open the app the following message prompted: "You installed an older version of Box Drive on top of a newer version. Please install the latest version of Box Drive. If the problem persists, please contact Box Support to further troubleshoot the issue."
Please help!
Truly appreciate your help and support!

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!
