I have tried restarting, removing and re-installing Box Drive, updating macOS software, and still get the following message when the computer starts: 

Box Drive failed to initialize with macOS. Please relaunch the application to resolve the issue. If the problem persists, please contact Box Support to further troubleshoot

I'm not able to open any files. Currently using Big Sur 11.6.8.

  I'm getting the same message. It started for me last week. 

   

  Reading the forum it looks like Box hasn't figured out how to fix this on Big Sur or on Monterey. Box Support what should we do?

  I have been having the same issue for about 2 weeks. I am on macOS Big Sur version 11.6.2.

  I couldn't get the command working, so I went with the System Preference route. Box Drive is syncing up now. Thx
