Hi! I have worked to update our enterprise settings to make it possible for external folks to have edit access without logging in. It does not currently seem possible. Please let me know what else I should look at.
I am sorry, I know others have had similar questions but I am not sure I have seen the outcome I am looking for.
Thanks,
Kaid

👋 Hi
You cannot let anonymous (not-logged-in) users edit Box files via a shared file link. When a shared link is set to Can Edit, people (i.e., your collaborators) must be logged into Box to edit; anonymous visitors (i.e., People with the link) can typically only view or download.
As outlined in Collaboration Frequently Asked Questions:
Be aware you must have a Box account (at least a Free Individual) to collaborate on content in Box. If you send a collaboration invitation to an individual without a Box account, that individual will be prompted to sign up with Box before being able to access the content.
Why you’re still seeing login required: By design Box requires users to authenticate before making edits so auditability and collaboration controls work (admins can enable/disable edit shared links, apply Shield policies, etc.). Editable file links will prompt people to log in to allow tracked editing.
If you have any other concerns, please feel free to reach out.
