We’ve been running into ongoing performance and sync issues with SharePoint/OneDrive, mainly due to the size of our project libraries and the number of users syncing across multiple devices. Just one of our document library alone has hundreds of thousands of files, and it’s starting to cause major slowdowns especially for remote staff.We’re looking to understand if Box might be a more stable or scalable alternative for managing large file structures.To be clear, I’m not looking to be contacted by sales reps or companies. I’m only interested in hearing from actual users who are currently using OneDrive/SharePoint or Box for file management and collaboration.Would like to hear how it’s working for your organization, what’s gone well, and what hasn’t.

I am new to box.com so I’m learning a lot of this. I would like to establish and setup a box.com account for my client using my company email. If I ensure my domain is verified and my client’s domain is verified, can I switch myself away from admin and pass that status to one of my clients team members? For example My email: [removed by moderator] My client: johnqpublic@example.com If “xyz.com” and “example.com” are both verified can I make the switch or do both domains need to be the same? Ex: Only “xyz.com” can transfer to “xyz.com” or only “example.com” can transfer to “example.com” Also, can I wait to verify the domain until a later date when I will be performing other work on the DNS?

Thanks.

I need to add a user that already has an individual account to be part of our enterprise account.  When I try to add that person as a user, it gives an error indicating that they already have an existing account and can’t be added and when I try to save the changes, it says I don’t have permission to add users.  I am the owner/admin of our account can add and remove other users that don’t have existing accounts.

サインアップの際、「処理中に問題が発生」の表示が出て、サインアップが完了できませんでした。再度同じメールアドレスでサインアップを試みますと、「無効なメールアドレス」と表示され、サインアップができなくなりました。初めに「処理中に問題が発生」のエラーが出た時、VPNを通じてでの操作をしており、もしかしたら、メールアドレスの登録が中途半端に残ってしまっていると想像されます。対処方法を教えてほしいです。

Has anyone figured out how to add a note during a SIGN routing?  We want to add a simple note during the routing of a SIGN document(s) that adds a simple note to someone down the routing line.  How do we add a note without completely cancelling and resending the SIGN package?

My name is Junichi Adachi from Minaris Advanced Therapies in Japan.Our US headquarters currently holds an enterprise-level Box contract and manages the global environment centrally.We are now considering implementing Box Zones for our Japan office to enable localized data residency and establish a more independent management structure.We would appreciate your guidance on the following points:Questions:What is the recommended setup process for Box Zones to ensure that content for Japan-based users (initially around 30 users, including external collaborators) is stored within Japan?What are the additional licensing costs associated with enabling Box Zones for this scale of usage?Is it possible to assign and manage Box Zones independently for Japan-based users via the admin console(I have admin rights)?Can we strictly restrict access to data from outside Japan, ensuring compliance with local data residency requirements?Could

Dear Community, I would like to open a folder to my entire organization in reading (with downloading capability mode).How do I proceed without adding every single person individually to collaborate ?Many thanks for your key support !

I need to restrict access to a folder to a certain group of our employees and not allow the other employees access.  How do I do this? 

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.

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

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
