Hi, i am using HP Envy laptop with Google chrome and home based wifi. I have been invited by a paid user to access some folders in the company. When i log into my account i see a blank screen.

Dear all, I am an admin to a business plus account.I was wondering where can we see the activity per person? As a co-owner I would like to see a specific person’s activity on the platform. I can now only see a grouped activity of a folder and without the details of the different collaborators.Secondly, who can exactly see the collaborator’s activity? I have granted a co-owner access to a person outside of the company and she is not able to see the activity or run the reports. Is that correct?Thank you for your help,Ewa

Hello everyone,First time posting to the support forums, and looking forward to joining the community! BackgroundEach of our documents has statuses that we track using Metadata Templates in Box. There are multiple documents per project (module), each with their own Document Status (file-level metadata) and the overall module has its own status as well (folder-level metadata).   IssueThe issue at hand involves the file-level metadata, or in this case the Document Status. A few weeks ago, I noticed that some of our file-level metadata was missing. At first, I thought I had simply forgotten to set the metadata for these particular documents, but then I began to notice a pattern. One of our users prefers editing documents using the desktop version of MS Word.  When this user saves their work on their desktop instance of MS Word, I receive a notification that New items were added to <folder name>. Upon reviewing these documents, I discovered that the file-level metadata (Document Stat

Hi, I’m trying to make myself the owner of several folders. The previous owner has left the company. I am an Admin.Here’s what I tried: Login as the current owner via the Admin portal. I changed myself to the owner, but received the error ‘The new owner’s account does not have enough space for the transfer’, but I have unlimited storage. Under user settings I have confirmed that there is no limit set for users. My account is using 20.9 GB. Could someone please assist? Thanks.

I WANT TO UNSUSCRIBE AND THERE IS NO BUTTON. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL AND NO RESPONSE. 

Hello, I sent a request for signature and stamp, but the stamp sometimes:is below the signature (which is not allowed) covers the signature with blank white page

We believe that a large number of email addresses are currently on the suppression list, and we would like to delete them via the Enterprise settings.However, the feature description states, "You can remove up to 10 emails per day from this list."Is there no way to delete more than 10 addresses at once? If there are 1,000 entries in the list, it would take 100 days to complete. The background is as follows: Users are being created via SCIM integration with Okta At the start of the new fiscal year, around 1,000 new users were created Before their mailboxes were created, user information was registered in Okta, resulting in account creation in Box as well As a result, it is assumed that all users have ended up on the suppression list   現在大量のメールアドレスが抑制リストに入っていると考えられる状況で、Enterprise設定からの削除を実施したいと考えています。しかし、機能説明の中で「このリストから1日に最大10件のメールアドレスを削除できます。」とあります。10件以上を一括で削除する方法は無いのでしょうか。リストに1000件いるとすると、100日かかってしまいます。経緯としては以下のとおりです。・OktaとSCIM連携によりユーザー作成している・新年度開始で新規ユーザーが1000件ほど作成された・メールボックスが作成される

When I try to verify our domain from the admin console, I got the alert shown in the attached image, and the process failed. The alert message gives no indication of the cause. What should I do to resolve this issue?  

We have a business plus plan which should include unlimited storage but in one specific folder, we are getting hit with this message. We are also unable to upload new files as it is saying “Account Storage Limit Reached.” What is going on? Are there storage limits for specific folders?   

Dear Box Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.I heard during a user training that Box imposes a limit of 1 PB (petabyte) per user (owner). However, I could not find any mention of such a per‑user limit in the publicly available documentation.Could you please confirm the following:Is there a maximum storage allocation of 1 PB per user (owner) in Box?   If such a limit exists, could you kindly share the official documentation or specification that details this restriction?Thank you very much for your assistance.  Boxにおいて、1ユーザー（所有者）あたりの所有できるストレージ容量が最大1 PB（ペタバイト）までという話を聞きました。  しかし、公開されている公式ドキュメントではそのような所有者単位の1 PB制限について記載を確認できませんでした。そこで、以下についてご確認させていただけますでしょうか：・Boxのユーザー（所有者）あたりのストレージ容量上限は1 PBなのでしょうか？  ・そのような制限が存在する場合、該当する公式資料や仕様書をご教示いただけますと幸いです。

I have a file where I’m trying to add metadata using a template we have been using in the past.When I try to save the metadata using the UI (when editing the file) I get back the following error:"An error has occurred while updating metadata. Please refresh the page and try again."I’ve tried refreshing the page and repeating the process, but still get the same error.When I happen to look at the Chrome Dev Tool Console window I can see that the Box UI is getting an error response back from an ajax call they posting. The error says:{"message": "Encountered invalid value for template field key=alfrescoCreatedDate with id=eb….","code": "bad_request","request_id": "d…."}This is a hidden field we have had for several years and never ran into any issue trying to save the metadata. It really shouldn’t be trying to do anything with this hidden field.Have any of you run into this? Is there any work around?Support so far has not been helpful.
