    Sometimes the Web App can take a little while to update, especially during large file operations. The number should be right soon, if it is not already. 

    Thanks,

    I uploaded those files on Jan. 4, 2022 to both folders.

    Today is Jan. 6, 2022,  Employ still shows I have 338 files

    and Fy2016 has 74,813 files.

    hmmm. You might reach out to support for this. I don't have access to the same support tools they do.

    Follow up from support team ( I hope it help others )

    Sometimes Box caches previous file counts and storage amounts causing a data inconsistency. This is a known issue and is a long term project for our engineering team to tackle.

    Thanks for the info.
