Was working with Mojave at work and the desktop icon worked perfectly to use with Box; once we upgraded to Big Sur, the box desktop drive on desktop disappeared.

I already:

• removed box with Terminal
• Removed the box app with AppCleaner
• Reinstalled Fresh

I did all of the above, and the desktop drive still does not appear?

  Can you check if you could find Box now available under "Locations" in Finder? This is part of changes noticeable with when running Box Drive on macOS File Provider Extension (FPE) mode.
