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

Using pinyin in filenames

I’m using the Obsidian app to learn Mandarin, and it creates markdown files. I back it all up to Box.I came across a problem where I can’t create files with pinyin in the names. Mandarin has a lot of homophones, and I wanted to be able to organise them as they come up.As an example, take yi. It could be written yī, yí, yǐ, or yì, according to whichever tone it takes. However, I can’t create filenames using any of the variants with a tone as Box sees them all as ‘yi’, telling me I’ve already named a file this.I was hoping that someone, even if they aren’t using pinyin, might have needed to create names in languages that use diacritics of any other kind that might have generated this conflict.When I try it doesn’t change the tone mark over the word, but it does append my email address because there’s a naming conflict. If I put a third pinyin with another tone it does the same, but adds a 2 to the end of the email, and so on. This makes a mess within Obsidian.I don’t have any problem cre

Box folders on one of the computers is not syncing

Hi,In the office, we have three computers with Box Drive installed, and all folders are set to sync. However, some files are not syncing on one of the computers, while the other two computers sync the files and folders without any problems. When I check Box Drive, there are no error messages.I'm guessing the internet is not an issue here since the other two computers are syncing fine.I thought about logging out and logging back in to Box Drive, but I'm concerned about losing any unsynced files.Please help me resolve this issue.Thank you.
