I need to update all users emails.  Will this change affect their password? 

Changing ownership of entire folder structures (and content) is done via the ‘Content’ tab in the Admin area of the application.Select the current owner, and drill down to the folder to change - not that you will not be able to do this if ownership is waterfall-inherited from a parent folder - you’ll have to change the parent Select the new owner from the Collaborators list and change their role to ‘owner’You will be warned that the process will remove ownership from the current owner.  The process can take some time to complete (which is odd - I’d assume it was just a database update, but there we are).One thing to watch for is that when I tried first time I was presented with an error messageThe new owners account does not have enough space for the transferThis is becuase the default for a new user is to have a storage constraint of 10Gb on their content.   You have to edit the user record, and change their allocated storage to a larger value (or just tick the ‘unlimited’ box). 

I need to automate sending an approval task to several users (10 to 15 individuals) based on some criteria. The individual users will not be consistent, and I would rather not have to update the list of users in every flow manually after every change in employment. Can I add a group name into the Assignee(s) field in the flow? Are there any formatting or structural requirements to properly reference a group in this field?

Is there anyone noticing smart/curly quotes in Box Notes? I don’t like them, and I’ve ensured it’s not being caused by my OS or web browser, but they are now appearing in my Box Notes if I manually type a single or double quote.

I’m trying to change some of my employee’s email addresses to our new domain. I’ve followed steps I’ve seen here, but it gives me an error that the new email address is already linked to a Box account. I can’t see any place that the email address is linked. Where should I look? What can I do to give the employee access to that account?

Need to purge email address that was used in a trial account so that we can use it in a paid account.

Hi there,I use box.com for uploading and storing Program’s Self-Study Guides and Site Visitor Templates (stored within a sub-folder). When I share the folders with Site Visitors, I share the entire Program’s box folder using the share link. Sometimes I have difficulties so I just add the person as a co-owner. I’ve had the issue before today, but I have a site visitor who created a free account. When she logins and views the folder, the sub-folder of Site Visitors Templates is grey and when she clicks on the Self-Study Guide PDF, it just shows the PDF page that she can’t view it and needs to download it. It is also doing the same thing for all other PDFs in the folder and sub-folder. I made her a co-owner and is still having this issue.  I had her log out of the account, and once she did the folder was no longer grey but she still couldn’t get the Self-Study Guide to open or download. Again, doing the same thing for all other PDFs in the folder and sub-folder. I’ve reviewed all of her p

Hello, BOX Community Usage environment: iPadCommunication: No SIM I take it offline via wifi at the office, and view the offline files when I'm on the goFrom a security standpoint, I'm trying to determine whether I can identify the extent of information leakage in the event of losing it.I thought I could identify it from the history, butit seems that taking it offline doesn't leave a record in the history,but only when the file is opened.Is there any good way to do this?

I am a Box & O365 Admin. I’m trying to migrate data from SharePoint to Box and I would like to preserve the file/folder creation/modify date stamp. I have tried dragging and dropping from the Mac finder, I’ve tried using Box Shuttle and I’ve tried using an FTP client. None of those options allow me to preserve the date, they all migrate with the date/time of upload. I did some researching and found information on CloudFastPath (by Box Shuttle), it says it’s Box’s recommended tool for enterprise migrations. When I go to that page the site times out as if it may be a dead link. Can you tell me CloudFastPath is still available and if it’s still recommended by Box? Or does anyone have another way I could accomplish preserving file/folder dates while migrating?

I cannot access to the folder which was invited by another user.I asked him to invite me three times, but I could not see the folder.Please tell me how to fix it.

We've implemented custom Terms of Service (ToS) acceptance in our tenant. I’ve accepted the ToS under both my admin account and our service-level account, which owns the target Box directory.In the Box Admin Console > Content > Shuttle, I'm configuring a migration job to move data from an external SharePoint directory into a Box folder (owned by the service account). The SharePoint connector was added successfully, and I can browse its contents. However, when I try to map the SharePoint source to the Box target folder, I get a toast error:User must accept custom terms of service before action can be taken.I've opened a support ticket, but the delay is blocking a time-sensitive backup task.Has anyone seen this before or found a workaround?

I need to change the name of the company to our parent company. How do I do this? 

We send out batches of documents for signature. When a signor doesn’t want to sign any of the documents in the batch, it declines the whole batch and we have to set it all up again. Is there a way to set it up so that an approver can remove a document they don’t want to sign, or just decline that one document, and the rest goes through? 

is it possible to see who the creator of a shared link was? And if possible, how can I see this for a specific folder/file?
