Admin and End User forums

I tried three times to purchase the upgrade for my space, but each time I get blocked with a message that says something like: “Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket to customer support.” What should I do?

Hello everyone!I am pleased to share that all Unmanaged users (regardless of collaboration status) can now be seen and repatriated directly from the admin console. Instructions are available here. With this update, we created a comprehensive support article that has additional scope for setup and guidance. Admins can now see all unmanaged users in their admin console, and can repatriate them directly into their accounts. This will:Improve the security posture of your account Provide more clarity on user status Streamline the process of bringing unmanaged users into your environment

I am trying to add user and I have seats available. However, Box wants to charge me everytime I add a user even though I have seats available. What is the fix here? 

Are there any limitations in using shared links for non-Box users?I have created a document with about 800 shared links in Box. I am a small user in the free area, number of data is just above 6GB devided over >800 files in about 10 folders. This database is built in about 5 years. The shared links are for the files, permissions for people with the link, they can read and download.Up till last week it worked fine, but suddenly downloads do not work anymore. Not for myself when I am not logged in not for people from Australia, England and France...to mention a few.The people who use it are for instance Facebook users with no Box account.

I would like this free trail canceled ASAP.  The directions to cancel a trial do not work.

Hi!I just finished the SSO setup with Azure/Entra ID.  But when trying to connect using SSO, I get an Invalid Credentials error.Can you please help?Thanks

We’ve been running into ongoing performance and sync issues with SharePoint/OneDrive, mainly due to the size of our project libraries and the number of users syncing across multiple devices. Just one of our document library alone has hundreds of thousands of files, and it’s starting to cause major slowdowns especially for remote staff.We’re looking to understand if Box might be a more stable or scalable alternative for managing large file structures.To be clear, I’m not looking to be contacted by sales reps or companies. I’m only interested in hearing from actual users who are currently using OneDrive/SharePoint or Box for file management and collaboration.Would like to hear how it’s working for your organization, what’s gone well, and what hasn’t.

I am new to box.com so I’m learning a lot of this. I would like to establish and setup a box.com account for my client using my company email. If I ensure my domain is verified and my client’s domain is verified, can I switch myself away from admin and pass that status to one of my clients team members? For example My email: [removed by moderator] My client: johnqpublic@example.com If “xyz.com” and “example.com” are both verified can I make the switch or do both domains need to be the same? Ex: Only “xyz.com” can transfer to “xyz.com” or only “example.com” can transfer to “example.com” Also, can I wait to verify the domain until a later date when I will be performing other work on the DNS?

I need to add a user that already has an individual account to be part of our enterprise account.  When I try to add that person as a user, it gives an error indicating that they already have an existing account and can’t be added and when I try to save the changes, it says I don’t have permission to add users.  I am the owner/admin of our account can add and remove other users that don’t have existing accounts.

サインアップの際、「処理中に問題が発生」の表示が出て、サインアップが完了できませんでした。再度同じメールアドレスでサインアップを試みますと、「無効なメールアドレス」と表示され、サインアップができなくなりました。初めに「処理中に問題が発生」のエラーが出た時、VPNを通じてでの操作をしており、もしかしたら、メールアドレスの登録が中途半端に残ってしまっていると想像されます。対処方法を教えてほしいです。

My name is Junichi Adachi from Minaris Advanced Therapies in Japan.Our US headquarters currently holds an enterprise-level Box contract and manages the global environment centrally.We are now considering implementing Box Zones for our Japan office to enable localized data residency and establish a more independent management structure.We would appreciate your guidance on the following points:Questions:What is the recommended setup process for Box Zones to ensure that content for Japan-based users (initially around 30 users, including external collaborators) is stored within Japan?What are the additional licensing costs associated with enabling Box Zones for this scale of usage?Is it possible to assign and manage Box Zones independently for Japan-based users via the admin console(I have admin rights)?Can we strictly restrict access to data from outside Japan, ensuring compliance with local data residency requirements?Could you please provide guidance or documentation on the initial setu

Dear Community, I would like to open a folder to my entire organization in reading (with downloading capability mode).How do I proceed without adding every single person individually to collaborate ?Many thanks for your key support !

I need to restrict access to a folder to a certain group of our employees and not allow the other employees access.  How do I do this? 

Some users in my organisation are locking files when editing them, this lock is being put on automatically, it is not something the users are doing manually. We are expecting multiple users to be able to edit the file(s) at the same time with co-authoring.Things are setup correctly for co-authoring for other users as this doesn’t happen with them but I can’t see any different in the setup.
