I am trying to make a user a co-admin in our Box sandbox and I am getting an error about Domains for email addresses.  I then tried to add our domain and got an error to contact support.  Please help.  Warm Regards,Jennifer Knights

Do other Box co-admins/companies wish that Box would add new functionality to Box Pulse itself - search result sorting and filtering by time period - to cut throuigh all the 'old tat' for example?

Some of our users are not able to search for a new user. When you add the email, which has same domain as all the other users, there is a message at the bottom that states content being shared with external collaborators. Why this behavior? thanks

Hello,I keep getting an error when trying to add an external email to a hub as an editor… The global setting for external collab restriction is off as is the setting for the hub.I have also tried adding the email to the folder as an editor and then the hub with no luck.

we have the $15 business plan. I am the admin and I have MFA on my account. There doesn’t seem to be an option for my other collaborators to setup MFA on their accounts.Is this is a limitation of the subscription level? Or, is there somewhere that I have to enable it for them.

Hello, We have developed an application for Box, and many clients are using it.  Currently, the owner account of the application is tied to an individual member’s email address.   I would like to transfer the ownership to another account that uses our organization’s email address.  Could you please let me know how I can do this?   Best regards,

Dear all, I am an admin to a business plus account.I was wondering where can we see the activity per person? As a co-owner I would like to see a specific person’s activity on the platform. I can now only see a grouped activity of a folder and without the details of the different collaborators.Secondly, who can exactly see the collaborator’s activity? I have granted a co-owner access to a person outside of the company and she is not able to see the activity or run the reports. Is that correct?Thank you for your help,Ewa

Hi - i am trying to cancel my account and it keeps throwing up the attached error message. Have tried clearing cache, different browsers, etc………. 

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 desktop version of MS Word.  When this user saves their work on their desktop instance of MS Word, I receive a notification that New items were added to <folder name>. Upon reviewing these documents, I discovered that the file-level metadata (Document Stat

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.

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。10件以上を一括で削除する方法は無いのでしょうか。リストに1000件いるとすると、100日かかってしまいます。経緯としては以下のとおりです。・OktaとSCIM連携によりユーザー作成している・新年度開始で新規ユーザーが1000件ほど作成された・メールボックスが作成される

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.

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!
