Admin and End User forums

Some users in my organisation are locking files when editing them, this lock is being put on automatically, it is not something the users are doing manually. We are expecting multiple users to be able to edit the file(s) at the same time with co-authoring.Things are setup correctly for co-authoring for other users as this doesn’t happen with them but I can’t see any different in the setup.

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

Employee has left IBM.  Please transfer ENTIRE Root Folder of this link to me https://ibm.ent.box.com/folder/320252296470 - kindly create a ticket if needed, as I am unable to see the section to create a ticket. Thank you.   

We often have file requests from external users and we currently use email (for non-sensitive files) or go through the process of uploading the file, creating the link, and sending an email with it.  This process can be time consuming so we wanted to stream line this process so that it could be as simple as sending an email for our internal users.We thought perhaps Relay would be the answer, but it does not appear to be able to do what we want.Our thought process was we set a link up that allows our internal users to upload a file.  The upload contains a form with metadata like the recipients email address and a comment (to be included in the body of the message).  We were hoping to be able to create a shared link to the file (possibly with a password that we could make part of the form) and to automagically create and send the link to the supplied email address. If the password could be utilized, perhaps send a second email with the password.It looks like Relay only supports adding co

We’re refreshing the Box web experience with a cleaner, more intuitive interface designed to help you move faster and stay focused. The new updates will improve navigation, reduce clutter, and keep your most important content within reach.Here is what’s changing: Collapsible left navigation Maximize your workspace by collapsing the sidebar when you need more room. When collapsed, hover over Collections to quickly view items in your Collections. Organized features under “More” To keep the layout tidy, Canvas, Integrations, Synced, and Trash now live under the More menu.Faster access to your files“All Files” has been renamed to “Files” for brevity. Hover over Files to instantly preview Recent files. The former Recents tab has been removed from the left navigation, but you can still access the full Recents page by clicking Recent Files in the hover popover.Redesigned Recents carouselIn your Files view, the updated Recents carousel now displays the parent folder beneath each file name for

I want to change my subscription from a free user to a paid subscription. Does the storage upgrade right away? Will I still have access to all my files right away?

I am the Box Admin for our company and set up new users, folders, etc. on a regular basis...One of our employees somehow became an Unmanaged User...any idea how in the world that happened?  I’ve tried migrating him and he swears he hasn’t gotten the email.  I’m tempted to delete his account and start over….anybody????I seriously need to know how it happened and if he did something.  I can’t get a live agent to help me and I’m at my wits end. 

When and How would be possible to download BOX drive for windows11 armx64 device?Thanks

Hi,I have a business account in Box, but it doesn’t accept my credentials. I have changed my password several times, but I still cannot access my account and keep receiving an “invalid credentials” error.In addition, I created a new account using my personal email and upgraded it to a business plan for three users. However, when I try to change the email to my old business email, I receive an error saying it already belongs to another account. I also cannot send an invite link to my old business email to add it to the new account. How can I access my old business account to delete it? After deleting the old account, is it possible to update my personal email (admin) to a business account? Best regards,Amir

We are looking to not allow unmanaged users, so we can control new accounts. Is there a way to force this option?

I am using my company box storage.. but i can’t store my files (bill paid)

Hello.I recently signed up for the "Business Starter" plan. I wanted a monthly contract, but it was an annual contract. I would like a refund and then change to a monthly contract. I look forward to your response.

I somehow managed to have two accounts for a long time and finally shut down/deleted one of them. I was going to link the email from the deleted account to the account I kept, but the message I’m receiving is that there is already an active account with that email address. How can I make this work?

I’m being billed $8.45/m., but I’m not using Box at all. How can I stop my paid subscription? I don’t see any way to do that on the “account settings” page.  Thanks!

Hello, How do I enable email notification for documents uploaded to specific folder using the link? 

Hey! Hope all is good, we’re encountering some issues uploading folders/files to box.We work with photoshop, our working files automatically generate a folder with the assets designed. We’ve been noticing that since using box some assets are not being generated and the issue seems to be related to the path (see image attached)After asking Ai about this issue, and it said: Because Box folders are mounted as network drives on Mac (under Locations in Finder), the full file path can become very long. macOS has limits on file path length, so when the combined folder and file names exceed that limit, the error appears. Do you know how to fix this?

I just accepted Enterprise but need to segregate my non-org existing files. As I hit accept I noticed something about personal account. I need to keep the existing content separate from the org content.

Hello - Our Box Admin is registered to a generic company email and we need to link it to an active user to not need to buy an additional seat. Could you please help us change the registered email that our account is linked to? Thanks. 

Hey! Hope all is good, my peers have been encountering an issue with box showing a red exclamation point when trying to upload files. They tried retrying the action, but it didn’t work.  When trying to upload the same documents via browser, this pop-up appeared: She removed the word “Store” from the folder and it worked. Can you explain why this happened?

Hi,Not sure if this is the right place, I really like Box Notes, but it's kind of difficult to navigate when there are many notes on the left pane, I haven't found a way to filter or display notes based on collections, tags, types or similar, so I have to go over and read every note title to pick the one I was looking for. This could be me, missing some info on how to do it, or an interesting feature request

Hi My colleague Gary Loebner, is a sole practitioner as myself invited me to look at statements of a client he  transferred to me.  I would log into his box and view the statements. my work email is a*****@*****.com ( this is my real work email )  I got my own free box account so my admin assistance can assist me.

Hi,Do you know if there’s a way that the user who assigned a task to another user, can also marked it as completed? Some users complete their tasks, but don’t change the status. Thanks! 

I am trying to add a user but it says the email is already used in Box but not associated with an enterprise. How do I add them to my group? 

I’m trying to access my Admin Console at Box.com. I just get a blank white page. I have tried clearing browser cache. I’ve tried from multiple locations and multiple browsers. I see that others have had this issue in the past but don’t see any solutions. Any suggestions?
