Admin and End User forums

Hello everyone,First time posting to the support forums, and looking forward to joining the community! BackgroundEach of our documents has statuses that we track using Metadata Templates in Box. There are multiple documents per project (module), each with their own Document Status (file-level metadata) and the overall module has its own status as well (folder-level metadata).   IssueThe issue at hand involves the file-level metadata, or in this case the Document Status. A few weeks ago, I noticed that some of our file-level metadata was missing. At first, I thought I had simply forgotten to set the metadata for these particular documents, but then I began to notice a pattern. One of our users prefers editing documents using the des

Hi, I’m trying to make myself the owner of several folders. The previous owner has left the company. I am an Admin.Here’s what I tried: Login as the current owner via the Admin portal. I changed myself to the owner, but received the error ‘The new owner’s account does not have enough space for the transfer’, but I have unlimited storage. Under user settings I have confirmed that there is no limit set for users. My account is using 20.9 GB. Could someone please assist? Thanks.

I WANT TO UNSUSCRIBE AND THERE IS NO BUTTON. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL AND NO RESPONSE.

We believe that a large number of email addresses are currently on the suppression list, and we would like to delete them via the Enterprise settings.However, the feature description states, "You can remove up to 10 emails per day from this list."Is there no way to delete more than 10 addresses at once? If there are 1,000 entries in the list, it would take 100 days to complete. The background is as follows: Users are being created via SCIM integration with Okta At the start of the new fiscal year, around 1,000 new users were created Before their mailboxes were created, user information was registered in Okta, resulting in account creation in Box as well As a result, it is assumed that all users have ended up on the suppression list   現在大量のメールアドレスが抑制リストに入っていると考えられる状況で、Enterprise設定からの削除を実施したいと考えています。しかし、機能説明の中で「このリストから1日に最大10件のメールアドレスを削除できます。」とあります。

When I try to verify our domain from the admin console, I got the alert shown in the attached image, and the process failed. The alert message gives no indication of the cause. What should I do to resolve this issue?  

We have a business plus plan which should include unlimited storage but in one specific folder, we are getting hit with this message. We are also unable to upload new files as it is saying “Account Storage Limit Reached.” What is going on? Are there storage limits for specific folders?   

Dear Box Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.I heard during a user training that Box imposes a limit of 1 PB (petabyte) per user (owner). However, I could not find any mention of such a per‑user limit in the publicly available documentation.Could you please confirm the following:Is there a maximum storage allocation of 1 PB per user (owner) in Box?   If such a limit exists, could you kindly share the official documentation or specification that details this restriction?Thank you very much for your assistance.  Boxにおいて、1ユーザー（所有者）あたりの所有できるストレージ容量が最大1 PB（ペタバイト）までという話を聞きました。  しかし、公開されている公式ドキュメントではそのような所有者単位の1 PB制限について記載を確認できませんでした。そこで、以下についてご確認させていただけますでしょうか：・Boxのユーザー（所有者）あたりのストレージ容量上限は1 PBなのでしょうか？  ・そのような制限が存在する場合、該当する公式資料や仕様書をご教示いただけますと幸いです。

I have a file where I’m trying to add metadata using a template we have been using in the past.When I try to save the metadata using the UI (when editing the file) I get back the following error:"An error has occurred while updating metadata. Please refresh the page and try again."I’ve tried refreshing the page and repeating the process, but still get the same error.When I happen to look at the Chrome Dev Tool Console window I can see that the Box UI is getting an error response back from an ajax call they posting. The error says:{"message": "Encountered invalid value for template field key=alfrescoCreatedDate with id=eb….","code": "bad_request","request_id": "d…."}This is a hidden field we have had for several years and never ran into any issue trying to save the metadata. It really shouldn’t be trying to do anything with this hidden field.Have any of you run into this? Is there any work around?Support so far

URGENT!! I cannot add users to my  data site:  

I`d appriciate it if you tell me how I can activate “Enterprise plan” for my collegues. I just payed for three users including mine, thinking let my two collegues who have free accounts use as well, but I have no idea to do it. It seems I have successed to get my account upgraded to the plan though.I know this is the very basic question but we all just started using BOX and are not used to it. Please tell me if this isn`t a proper way to asking this kind of question.

The Desktop team at Box is excited to share a private beta opportunity to give Box Drive macOS users the ability to store the Box folder on an external drive, allowing users to work on large files or a large volume of files and folders without being limited by their machine’s local disk space. We’re looking for 5-8 organizations that would be willing to test and validate this capability across a wide set of workflows and external drives. If you’re interested in participating, please reach out box-drive-external-drive-beta@box.com to let us know. Check out our FAQs and comment below if you have any additional questions about the private beta program.

THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING! I must have access to my files, no payment method worked.

We have about 10.000 user sin several regions in the world. We would like to limit admin/co-admin access not only to certain functions but to the data of of their region. EU Admin can only create reports for EU data.China admin can only create reports on China data.Is this possible in BOX?

Enterprise standard edition, HIPAA compliant enviroment. Workflow is external Collaborators are emailing attachments to a folder however, outlook encrypted emails are coming in a *.rpmsg and we can not access the attachment. Seems odd that the email-to-folder workflow wouldn’t work for the most popular email client on the planet. What am I missing?

We currently have standard enterprise licenses. When our external collaborators email an attachment into our incoming file folder. The system also includes the PNGs (like company logos) from the email when all we want is the attachment itself. It appears as though standard relay does not allow for file type filtering so I can’t send all *.png to trash or another folder.  There also isn’t a way to create a default filter for all users to minimize the clutter in the incoming folder. Any suggestions or insights would be welcome! Thank you in advance!
