I'm currently trying to find all the PDFs containing HVWS70, but Box isn't working very well. I have several files in folders that contain that information, but it can't find them. Could it be due to a recent update, and now Box can't find them unless I specify the full title of my documents? Because it was working perfectly just a few days ago.
Having a really tough time troubleshooting an issue where ANY change to a Box hub throws “Failed to save hub.” when attempting to save. This just started happening 6 days ago and I can not find ANY information on this. At best AI and the articles mostly suggest to contact support if basic troubleshooting fails. Problem is that I have no idea how to get in contact with Box’s actual support team from within the website.
Does anyone know if there is a way to allow folder uploads via a File Request?many thanks. :)

A franchise owner has left our firm but remains an “Owner” on Box files. How do I remove him?
Our Main Admin is leaving and we are trying to move one of the Co-Admins (me) into this role. The Main Admin has filled in the change admin screen but has not received an email to confirm the switch. Consequently, the change hasn’t happened - has anyone else had this issue, and how do I resolve it?
Hello - What settings in the Admin console will disable account creation when I share links with users? Each time i create a link, it requires the user to create a box account. I do not want that. I want them to click on the link and be able to access, view, edit the folder in question. How can i accomplish this?
I am adding a user but it gives me an error “invitation available for freemium account holders”. Not sure what to do from there. Any help would be great!
My employee originally set up the Box Account. I need to change the Admin user
【発生している事象と、これまでに試したこと】1. ロール設定で「管理者」が選択できない 現在の管理者アカウントでログインし、別のユーザーへ管理者を変更しようとしましたが、対象ユーザーのロール設定のプルダウンに「メンバー」と「共同管理者」しか表示されず、「管理者」を選択することができませんでした。2. ドメイン追加時の認証コードメールが届かない 上記1の原因が「ドメインが検証済みでないため」であると考え、「Enterprise設定」>「カスタム設定」>「ドメイン管理」より、対象ユーザーのドメインを追加する作業を試みました。 しかし、「ドメインを追加」をクリックした直後に求められる本人確認画面において、「お客様のメールアドレスに送信されたメールに記載の6桁のコードを入力してください。」と表示されるものの、いつまで経ってもそのメールが届きません。【認証コード未着に対して確認・実施済みの事項】 コードの再送信ボタンを複数回試しましたが、届きませんでした。 迷惑メールフォルダやゴミ箱にも該当のメールは入っていません。 【サポートへの依頼事項】 認証コードのメールが届かない原因(Box側のサプレッションリストへの登録など)の調査と、制限がかかっている場合はその解除をお願いします。 上記が解決しドメイン検証が完了した後、予定通りプライマリ管理者の変更が可能になるか、弊社のご契約状況(代理店経由の制限の有無など)と併せてご確認をお願いします。 お手数をおかけしますが、ご対応のほどよろしくお願いいたします。
When in a Boxnote, the three dots used to offer the option of going back to the main folder that the note lived as the first option. We eventually found it under “save location” (which is counterintuitive as this language suggests you would use this to “save the note in a new location” or maybe save the location of the note as in the form of a link or something).The menu now has so many options that we would never use - it is frustrating to lose the one we did use. Does anyone have a quicker way to go to the main folder from within a Boxnote now?
We’re refreshing the Box web experience with a cleaner, more intuitive interface designed to help you move faster and stay focused.

The former Recents tab has been removed from the left navigation, but you can still access the full Recents page by clicking Recent Files in the hover popover.Redesigned Recents carouselIn your Files view, the updated Recents carousel now displays the parent folder beneath each file name for
I’m the Box Admin, one of our enduser is new to the BOX and we have gave her all the permissions to upload new files but her New is greyed out and she is receiving You do not have permission to upload or create items error.
Please, please, please, bring back the former preview header where it showed what folder it moved to. Now it shows “Updated… with the date the file was created.” This is frustrating when you need to make sure that you moved went to where you intended in case you made an error and moved it somewhere else. It was also very helpful when it showed what folder it moved to, in case you needed to open another tab to go to that folder without having to go through the hassle of navigating to it from a new browser tab. This Updated and remaining in the state is a big setback to this program. If anyone knows a way to make it show what it used to I’d really love to know how to do it! And put the old close button on the right side back!
Hello, I currently have a license that I pay for on a monthly basis. I want to switch to an annual payment plan, but I can't find the option to do so... could you please help me?

My domain and email has been updated by the Company, how can I restore my previous folders
Hi, about 15 years ago I had a company that launched a product and I had Box.com accounts for each domain. One to collaborate on a product with my cofounder and one for business related docs. I am looking for an important file that may be in one of those accounts but I no longer have either domain. I can prove I owned them at the time of the account activity though. Is there a way to update both to new email addresses so I can get back in?
My files were unexpectedly moved to trash in Content Manager after upgrading to Business Plus. I need to restore them via the admin console. It seems to “move” them is the only option but there is no registering location, even folders that are currently there, when I search and try to complete the step. Please confirm the correct steps to restore or move the trashed files from the admin console back to their appropriate locations.This is time-sensitive and needs prompt attention. Thank you in advance.
I have a former employee who was a managed user in BOX and removed when resigned. I am trying to add her back under the 1 seat I have left and when I do, it will not recognize the email and allow me to add her as a managed user. I went ahead and added “freemium account’ and can’t see her anywhere in the user set up. I have deleted, opened a ticket, tried what they suggested and the results are not the same as the case notes. Has anyone had this type issue and successfully resolved it?
I am currently the admin on our Box Business account on a trial, and I am trying to change the primary email/login associated with the account to my preferred business email address. However, whenever I attempt to add or switch to the new email address, Box gives me an error saying the email is invalid or unavailable for use. I tried using my business email address to sign up for the free trial, but it said that it was invalid. I proceeded to use my personal email account instead. I’d like assistance in setting my business email as the primary email address, and if it’s possible if it's linked to an old Box account.
I recently went to add 3 users from our company to our new Box.com account, but those users already exist in another instance under the same email. What would be the best way to get them into our workspace as paid members and guests in the other pre-existing space?
