    I cannot work on Box drive folders where I need to run a compiled C program intending to do some data analysis that involves reading some data files and create some files in a loop. Earlier it wasn't any issue with Box Sync but now with the new filesystem the program fails to execute and the folder becomes unreadable (ls doesn't work either). The only option is to reboot the computer to regain access to those files. The whole folder, copied to a regular filesystem location outside of Box Drive, works perfectly. I wonder if there is a way to pause sync to be able to work with these files within Box Drive.
