Répondu

When I start my Mac (10.11.2), Box Sync shows a message, Unable to Display Box Sync Icons - Enable Box Sync Finder Extension in System Preferences.  Problem is that the Box Sync Finder Extension isn't in my System Preferences.

 

I've tried exiting Box Sync, and reinstalling, and rebooting, but it isn't there.  Not sure what to do now.  Box Sync version 4.0.7076.

    Hi .

     

    Is it possible to check your Diagnostic Reports folder (located here: ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports) to see if there are any reports that the Box Sync Finder Extension has crashed?

    If so, this may be something the User Services team may be better able to assist you with. Please submit a case and they will be able to help.

    I had the exact issue on my Mac. I found the Box Sync Finder Extension when I clicked on the top option, "All third-party extensions" and Box was listed there.  I checked the box an then Box Sync icon will show up in the Finder.  Hope that helps.

    I'm having the same problem. Checked in both places after re-installing several times.  Still not there!  Is there a way to simply install the Finder extensions by themselves (stand-alone installer). Syncing seems to work just fine.

    I managed to fix it by typing this this in the Terminal -

    pluginkit -a /Applications/Box\ Sync.app/Contents/Plugins/FinderSyncExt.appex

    I tried your method and in System preference, it flashed in All third-party extensions then disappeared.

    I'm having this same issues on my new mac.  I entered that link into terminal but now what do I do?  I still don't see the box.com sync extension under system preferences.  Thanks for any help!

    This worked for me. Ran the command line then went back to "System Preferences -> Extensions -> All" and Box Sync was listed.

    This worked for me as well (typing this into terminal, then re-checking Box in the Extrensions)

     

    pluginkit -a /Applications/Box\ Sync.app/Contents/Plugins/FinderSyncExt.appex

     

    Very strange and unpleasant.

    When I tried this solution, I receive the message "invalid plugin path". I am new to iOS, any help is appreciated.
