Hi,In the office, we have three computers with Box Drive installed, and all folders are set to sync. However, some files are not syncing on one of the computers, while the other two computers sync the files and folders without any problems. When I check Box Drive, there are no error messages.I'm guessing the internet is not an issue here since the other two computers are syncing fine.I thought about logging out and logging back in to Box Drive, but I'm concerned about losing any unsynced files.Please help me resolve this issue.Thank you.

I can’t login it says the following:“We found an issue with your accountGoing forward, Box will require that your Google account address matches your Box account address.” None of the login paths work - google email isn’t connected to the account and my personal email is giving this error. I can’t even login to contact support. Password reset doesn’t work. At this point I just want to login to delete my account. Could you please help?  Thank you,Jiri

I had a power hit, my SYNOLOGY device running cloud sync dropped the connection to box.  It now fails to re-authenticate - I get the following error.   Windows received an HTTP error message: 403 (Forbidden) from "synooauth.synology.com"   All other devices work just fine and I have double checked credentials and updated all drivers and restarted all devices.

Hello!We’re starting a clean-up exercise on our content, and we’d like to categorize content depending on last access date (content not accessed in last 12 months, 24 months, 5 years).The Files and Folders report includes last modified date but not last access date. Would there be a script we could use to generate the data we need or even better a way to get that through reports? We have 400 TB of content / 120 million files in case that has any bearing on the recommended option.Many thanks!

I am fairly new to Box. I would like to know how I can collaborate with Box?

Is there a setup in Box that allows users with proper permissions to save data to their desktop?  Box Sync use to perform this task perfectly; however, it no longer works.

Hello, I would like to require assistance on changing the old email registered for my account, that I just had knowledge once I was logout and my password has expired. But I can’t access the old email because I changed the domain of it. I checked previous topics but they say to require support on it. Thanks, Bianca

I have a Hub that I am using as a test content library. I’ve uploaded several files and I uploaded 1 folder with 10 documents in it.When I query box AI in the hub, AI will not recognized files within the folder, only files outside of the folder.  Is this expected behavior?

My organisation recently migrated to Microsoft environment.We collaborate on documents with an organisation using box. Now I am trying to sign in to work in a document but it always redirects me to Google sign-in. I also changed my password, and tried using a new browser, incognito window etc. Nothing worked. I can’t access my account….

Would be great to see metrics on how adopted our Hubs are. How many visits, which box users are visiting, how long each visit is, etc. Is this on the roadmap?  

Box File Request gives you a fast and secure way to request and obtain files, plus associated metadata, from anyone. Watch this video to learn more about Box File Request:  ✍ Notes: You must have a Box Business Plan account or higher to build a File Request form.  However, no one needs a Box account to access the finished form and upload content. An external collaborator cannot create file request links, even if the collaborator is a co-owner or editor of the content.
