Box Status

Process called Everything.exe is unable to access box folder

I am unable to access the box drive folder if my process is called Everything.exe.

If I rename my executable to anything other than Everything.exe I can access the folder.

 

 

An example:

I can access the box drive folder from a command prompt.

If I copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe to c:\windows\system32\Everything.exe

Launch c:\windows\system32\Everything.exe

I am unable to access the box drive folder.

 

 

Any reason there is a access block when the process is named Everything.exe?

    interesting issue! 

    curious - what if the E is a lowercase e?

    Same issue.
    Both Everything.exe and everything.exe are blocked.

    Apparently this started occurring in the latest box release 2.26.330.

    For reference: 
    New version of Box Drive prevents Everything from opening items in Box:

    I will need to reach out to the boxer that owns Box Drive. I will have them respond. It may take some time.
