👋 Hi ​@darrel wilson, welcome to the Box Community!

 

We have this resolved for you to ensure your email is not blocked by verification error during upgrade. You can check this article for upgrade instructions: Upgrading Your Box Account.


Regarding the signing of documents, a signer is not required to have a Box account. If the issue with signing is unrelated to the upgrade, please let us know by posting a new topic in our community. This will help us investigate the issue further.


For more information, please check out Box Sign support guide and Box Sign FAQ.

 

I'm looking forward to getting this sorted out. 🤗

Hi, I need support please. I have tried to upgrade my account from the free to the Business plan and it was not possible because Box requires a verification of my account, but I do not know which one it is. It happens when I want to pay the plan. 

 

So, I wait for your answer please. 

Thanks.

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?

 

 

 


Hello!

Trying to upgrade my Box account from free to paid tier. Unfortunately, Box wont allow me to do this and is requesting I submit a support ticket for “further verification”. Just as unfortunately,  they have made contacting internal support directly completely impossible! 

 

Can anyone help? Thanks a ton.

I’m unable to upgrade to a business account due to the same verification error. I’m not sure what going on but it looks like the engineering team at Box has not resolved this issue. I’ve been trying to get a hold of an actual human to resolve this issue but it requires a business account to get access to their customer service….but I can’t upgrade to a business account because of the verification error. It’s a whole cycle and I’m honestly surprised Box has reached this level knowing the benefits this platform provides.
