Box AI is in my way

How can I either Remove Box AI from my toolbar at the right or at least move it so that it is not defaulted to the top and forcing me to click on comments for every file. I get it, AI is your new fancy gizmo, but it’s utterly useless for me and my team. Box is a storage solution first and foremost, don’t force me to use the AI tool.

How to use Relay to reverse the flow of a document

In most of the Box Relay demos, I’ve seen the happy path where a file is moved forward along as everyone agrees with the document. Is there a way to Reject a document and notify the originator and send the document back to an existing folder? I don’t immediately see a way to do this. Is there a standard template that addresses this?

Change Box Drive trash behavior on Mac?

I recently switched from Box Sync to Box Drive and find the way it handles trash frustrating. With Box Sync, deleted files went to the local Mac trash, allowing easy recovery. But with Box Drive, deletions are permanent and don’t appear in the Mac trash. I’m worried about accidentally losing files. Is there a way to restore Box Sync’s trash behavior with Box Drive?

Unable to upload files to Box

For at least a week neither I nor my coworker have been able to upload any files to the Box. We have tried large and small files and get the same error. It looks like it uploads to 100%, then spins for a few minutes before saying there was an issue and to try again.We can still download, though. Is anyone else having these issues. I’ve tried this on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge with three different computers and get the same result each time.

Can I limit emails on box comments at the Folder level?

I want to turn off emailing notices of Box comments at the Folder level. In other words, I want to use Box comments and I want collaborators to use comments too. But I do not want the Box comments to be sent by email notifications. I know how to turn off Box comments for myself, but I want to control all comments on this specific folder. Thank you for your help, Kathy

I can see the file statistics but the downloaded csv report for that file statistics is headers only.

I can see the file statistics but the downloaded csv report for that file statistics contains only the headers: Date, User Name, User Email, Action, Affected, Details. There are no statistics displayed in the .csv file report that would show the activity on that file. I can see the statistics but when I download them as a report, it is blank.

Tuesday Tips & Tricks: Mastering Box Relay – Building and Managing Workflows

Box Relay is a powerful tool that helps streamline business processes by automating workflows, but to get the most out of it, you need to understand how to effectively create, manage, and monitor your workflows. 💡 Below are some essential tips and best practices to make your experience smoother and more efficient: 1. Understanding Workflow Ownership and PermissionsOnly admins can grant access for creating workflows in Box Relay. Once granted, you can build workflows on folders you own, co-own, or can edit. However, remember that external collaborators do not have the permissions to create or manage workflows in your enterprise, which helps keep things secure. 2. Managing Workflow Activation & DeactivationYou have full control over workflows you've created. Once a workflow is built, you can activate or deactivate it as needed. But if you update a workflow (e.g., modifying outcomes), these changes will take effect immediately for all future executions, as long as the modified outcom

new app update not working?

Anyone having problems with the latest update of BOX Mobile? I can’t scroll between photos I just get an eternal loading sign. Often it freezes in one photo and I can’t hit the X button to close out or switch to any other menu. I can acesss the menus but none of the buttons work. I’m at the point I have to close Box Mobile and reopen it every single time I want to switch to a new document. It that just my device or is this happening  elsewhere? Trying to decide whether to submit a ticket.

Tuesday Tips and Tricks: Enhancing Security with Additional Recipient Authentication in Box Sign

Box Sign offers an added layer of security by enabling senders to apply additional recipient authentication methods. We’ve updated the SMS authentication workflow in Box Sign to further enhance security. The new process requires signers to authenticate via SMS before they can access, fill out, and sign the document. This update aligns with industry standards and other authentication methods within Box Sign, such as Box account login and password authentication. 🔐 Below are the guides on how to apply authentication methods, including SMS, Box login, and password:  📲 SMS authentication: Box sends a text message to verify the recipient's identity. Add the email address of a recipient. Click the recipient's email address. Select SMS Authentication in the dropdown. Select a country code. For supported countries, visit Multi-Factor Authentication Set Up for your Account. Type the recipient's phone number.   👤 Box login (Enterprise Plus plan only): The recipient must log in to their Box ac
