I tried three times to purchase the upgrade for my space, but each time I get blocked with a message that says something like: “Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket to customer support.” What should I do?

This is not an isolated case, as we have a handful of new and existing customers who have reported the same issue. Our engineering team is actively investigating it. In the meantime, I’ve already coordinated with our internal team to have this resolved for you.


Please try to process the upgrade again. You can check this article for instructions: Upgrading Your Box Account. For overview and side-by-side comparison of our plans and its features, please visit our pricing page:


If you need further assistance with manual upgrade, please email our Billing Team at billing@box.com and provide the plan, billing frequency (monthly or annual), and the number of seats (if applicable).

 

Have a great day! 🤗

I am not able to upgrade my account and I am prompted to contact support as my account needs further verification. This is a bit of a timely matter and I would love some help. 

 

It also just is very difficult to even contact anyone in support, so it would be helpful if that was more easily accessible.

Seriously how can this level of platform have this issue that clearly needs to be resolved!!?? I am trying to upgrade to Starter to enable password protection for a client folder (fairly urgently), and I am getting this notification “Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket...” --- absolutely ridiculous.
