We’re having an intermittent issue with the integration between user’s Box accounts an NetSuite. “There was an issue with the Box SuiteApp. Please refresh and try again. If the problem persists...” None of us are sure why it’s happening because it happens so randomly.
When I try to use Box AI to query content in a Box Hub, I get the message:“This content is currently unavailable for AI. Please check back later.”
Hi everyone, We’ve explored options to be able to prevent any user (even co-owners) from accidentally Moving or Deleting certain critical root folders within Box. Right now the only option I have found is to use the Folder Lock endpoint via the Box API, however this is not very accessible to non-developers and we need our business users to be able to enable and remove these locks as needed. Has anyone found a way to manage these Folder Locks in a more user friendly way via the Box UI? Thanks!
Since it might be challenging to educate all users on using the Web UI, it could be easier to deploy only Box Drive. Would that work?
