Allow users to manually prompt Box Drive upgrade from the Drive menu.
If a user's machine is running, they will receive the prompt to upgrade to a new version, even if they are not actively using their machine. This will cause users to miss the upgrade prompt for 24 hours.
We would ask that messaging is added to the Drive menu letting a user know that a "new version is available." If they click this, they will again receive the prompt to upgrade.
