Some Box Folders can be added to Mac Finder Favorites and some can not be added
It seems strange that I can navigate to box and drag some folders to the Finder's Sidebar to create a quick way to access and for some folders I can't. I drop the folder in exactly the same way and nothing happens. No favorite is created and there are no visible errors. I have a video but apparently there's no way to upload that here.

OK what I think happened is that at the last reboot the box app didn't restart or I wasn't connected... so it wasn't able to let me access my files.
Even after I started the box app, I was (for a few mins) only able to see the main "box" favorite in Finder... and it worked. I was able to navigate. I then tried to get back to one of my favorites and drag it to the sidebar in the favorites section.
I think I failed to realize that once it had finally re-connected and "synced" for lack of a better term... my favorites had reappeared. Therefore I wasn't allowed to add the same one a second time (which is reasonable). Our corporate IT rolled out some changes yesterday and I'm just finding all the ways that it impacted me. In the end I think it was the fact that the box app didn't restart/connect.
Thanks for reaching out, but I think I'm ok now.
