I work in AutoCAD LT. I have been working directly on these files in my BOX folders. Should I be downloading my files to a local drive, then return them to my Box drive when the edit session is complete?

When I go to "Save a Copy" of my Word or Excel documents that I opened in Box... there are no options to save as a PDF... just gives a couple of basic options. See the screenshot below. I can go and browse and find the location again and through that method I can get the right options, but just the basic... save a copy... it doesn't exist. This works on my Mac as expected and works if I am using OneDrive... but for some reason I can't get it to work on Windows using Box.

How to check folder edit history？ How to restore the delete file？

Hello, I manage yearly folders with a lot of subfolders and many different people accessing. At the end of the year I would like to archive and remove all collaborators access. I find it very difficult to know who has access to each subfolder and would like to know how can I verify in an efficient way all the people that have access and how can I remove access from Parent Folder to ensure nobody has access to the subfolders once year is over.  THank you very much.

I click on the link they gave me and they said my email was not a biz email so I used another ( [removed by moderator] ), my email attached to Love&Photos is [removed by moderator] Anyways, I then had to upgrade for more space.

Boxサポートチームの皆様、こんにちは。BoxアカウントでGoogleログインの無限ループに陥っています。app.box.com /resetでパスワードリセット手続きを完了しても、ログインページが常にGoogleログインページにリダイレクトされてしまいます。バックエンドシステム上で、私のBoxアカウントからGoogleアカウントの関連付け（ソーシャルサインイン／SSO）を手動で削除／解除してください。そうすれば、通常のメールアドレスとパスワードでログインできるようになります。ありがとう。 

I have a business account in Box.  I upload my document to Box and insert the signature fields with the person designated to sign.  When I click “Send Request”, it appears to start the process but then the request is not submitted.  The document remains on the page - there is no error message and no indication that my browser blocked the request.  I checked the requests folder and the sign request has not been added to the folder.  I have cleared my browser cache and tried it in another browser, but still cannot send the signature request.   Is this an issue with Box.com today?  I have not had this issue before. Thanks!

Hi there, I have a question: how can I reduce the seats?

I’m trying to build a workflow that renames any file uploaded to our Box Client Uploads folder, to the name of the person uploading it. The workflows repeatedly fail without giving any reason.  Has anyone experienced this issue, or is aware of a potential workaround?

Hello, We currently have 3 paid managed user accounts in Box.One of our managed users has left the company, and we need to transfer all folders and contents from that user to a new employee. However, the new employee is currently an external user, so the account does not have enough storage capacity to receive all the transferred files and folders.At the moment, we cannot complete the content transfer unless the new employee is converted to a managed user. However, adding the new employee as a managed user would temporarily increase the total number of managed users to 4, while we are currently paying for only 3 managed user accounts.Since the content transfer has not yet been completed, we are also unable to delete the former employee’s managed user account.Please advise on the best way to proceed in this situation. Thank you.Elin

As the Administrator within BOX, I own all of the data on the environment. If a file is “locked” because of a password or a glitch that prevents users from editing (says the file is open by someone else) even though they have editing permissions, is there a way for me to clear the lock or remove this restriction. This is something you could do on a basic windows environment by clearing the open files but cannot do it on BOX. Any help is appreciated.

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? 

We have tried worksharing function using an AEC Collection license via local area network (LAN) and it was successful.  However, our company has just started using Box Cloud File Server which provides secure and centralized platform for storing, sharing and working on digital files.  In our attempts, it was not successful.  We would like to know, is there a way in order to utilize worksharing function using an AEC Collection license via Box Cloud File Server?  

I am new to box.com/ hoping someone can help me. I am trying to use Tags to automate our process. MY goal is to have a pre-populated tag for my team to choose from when reviewing a file. How do i very simply create a pre-populated tag?  also, how do i conduct a search for files that do NOT have a tag? seems like these are simple but loaded questions.

Box seems committed to the same path as other cloud service providers, ensuring the customer is dependant on the cloud and phasing out features that give users access to their own files. Apple did the same with Photos, etc. Such is life. So with the imminent departure of Box Sync, how are folks thinking about the future of file sync services? Are you willing to go with the flow and adapt to Drive? Or holding on to maintain Sync behaviour as long as possible? Or looking to other providers (or even DIY) that still provide user friendly options?

I am adding a user but it gives me an error “invitation available for freemium account holders”. Not sure what to do from there. Any help would be great!

Has anyone found a way to report on consumption in a meaningful way, what I would like to see is which users and which parts of box have used units so that we can identify adopters and higher cost activities.

Hi everyone,I am a former administrator of a Box Business Plus plan.I am looking for a solution regarding a specific user who can neither sign up for a free account nor sign in due to an email error. I was referred to this community by Box Support, so I am posting here in hopes of finding some guidance.Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.[Background] We canceled our Business Plus plan a while ago. After cancellation, some users reported they couldn't log in. Since the tenant (enterprise organization) hadn't been fully deleted yet, we contacted Box Support at the time, and they performed a full tenant deletion for us. Right after that, those users reported they could successfully log in as free accounts, and the issue seemed to be resolved. [Current Issue]Recently, another user (who was also a member of our former enterprise tenant) reported that they cannot log in.I advised them to sign up for a new free account. However, whether they try to sign up or sign in, they

Hi,I am facing a challenge using Box Automate/Relay:I have a main folder with about 200 subfolders. Documents are regularly uploaded into these subfolders by various users.My goal is to automate the following process:Whenever a new document is added to any of the subfolders, it should automatically be moved (and renamed, according to a pattern) into a single central folder.So far, I have found that Box Automate and Relay only seem to trigger workflows on top-level folders, not their subfolders.Is it possible to monitor or trigger automation for subfolders with Box Automate, maybe by using loops or a workaround? Any help or experiences would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,Yasemin
