  • A probable solution.
  • I suspect, I have identified the culprit. It turns out that Box drive limits the number of characters the full file path can have. Note, not usual limit of 256 characters in the file name, but 256 characters in the entire file path (and 100 characters in the folder path).
  • I checked, all my file paths are more than 256 characters. That can cause all sorts of weird behaviors and, probably, the ones that I described in my post.
  • For reference, see the following thread titled "File name length limits" on Box support website: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360049225933-File-name-length-limits
  • Also for reference, I uncovered this problem when I tried to save files to Box drive that have really long file paths and got an error the the files could not be saved. And then I realized, it could be the reason I can't read the files from Box drive.

A probable solution.

I suspect, I have identified the culprit. It turns out that Box drive limits the number of characters the full file path can have. Note, not usual limit of 256 characters in the file name, but 256 characters in the entire file path (and 100 characters in the folder path). 

I checked, all my file paths are more than 256 characters. That can cause all sorts of weird behaviors and, probably, the ones that I described in my post.
