Each time I tried to run the installer it wrote the following lines to the log and exits. I ran fs_usage to watch what the installer was doing and it showed that it was writing to a log file in /Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Box/Box Sync/Box Sync-.log.
Box sync login blank password#
Watching in Activity Monitor, after I double-click on the Box Synx.app within the mounted DMG file it prompted for my password and then seconds later disappeared from Activity Monitor with no explanation.
Long short I tried the Box installer on my Mac and was getting the same issue as yourself. It takes a moment to present the login prompt but it does work from there.
Short story: drag and drop the Box Sync.app from the DMG file to your /Applications folder and run it from there.
