    Hi Kukki, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    The changes you noticed seems expected behavior when using Box Drive on macOS File Provider Extension (FPE) mode (M1 chipset mac device uses this mode). 

    Notable changes in user experience

    • Overlay icons are refreshed to align with other system icons.

    • The Box folder has a different mount location for FPE, compared to kernel-based Drive:

      • These are controlled by macOS, not Box Drive, and could change without notice

      • In FPE mode: ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box

      • In kernel-based mode: ~/Box

    • Box is now available under "Locations" in Finder.

    • Items (files or folders) dragged and dropped from a user's local drive into Box are moved instead of copied.  Similarly, items dragged and dropped from the Box folder to user’s local drive are moved instead of copied and hence deleted from Box.
