Box Drive - Can't rename files or open certain documents
CompletedWith Box Drive, trying to rename files doesn't work, the name just goes back to what it was before.
Opening Office files like Word documents, will make Word open for a second and then close.
I went into Word and navigated to where the file was located, and the following error is produced:
If I copy the file to my desktop, it will open just fine.
PDF files seem to open just fine.
Also some file names get truncated to what looks like 32 characters and the user can't rename the file through Box Driver but they can successfully rename the file through the Box web interface.
This is Windows 11 Enterprise running Box Drive 2.39.174. User Profile redirection is being used to point to user home directories on a server, but that shouldn't be affecting this since other users with a similar configuration are doing this as well without issue.
If I go to the web version of Box all of these functions behave properly.
This also occurs for multiple users, so it's something to do with Box or wher this file is located.
