General

What is the best way for me to run a report that shows all external users that have access to our company’s Box instance?  I’d like to see general data like name, email, what folders they have access to and when they last accessed any of the information. 

Where can we find the monthly payment from Box.nl?I can't see than anywhere

What is your favorite capability in Box that saves you time? clockWhen I first started using Box (I think it was 2016?) at another company, Box was a game changer for my team. We regularly worked together on creating demo scripts, and the ability to collaborate without having to email a file and wonder which version was the latest, was a game changer. Fast forward to today and so many capabilities have been added over the years that I now have so many new game changers! Here are some of my favorites (in no particular order) File request link - sending someone a link so they can upload a file Integration with Microsoft for co-authoring - ability to have multiple authors working in a file and saving automatically back to Box) Box Hubs (not yet GA) - Curating the best and most up-to-date content for sharing. Very zen way to access a corpus of content. BoxAI (not yet GA) - Creating

Help, I heard that Shield may be able to help me work around Box’s waterfall permissioning model.  Does anyone know if that’s true? 

How can I see which of my users are leveraging Box Mobile?

I get a bunch of alerts that are generated through Box Shield’s threat detection feature. How should I be triaging these with my InfoSec team?

Hello!I receive the error message that 23 files are not syncing. I always avoid using special characters in the file names, so this should not be the issue. I have submitted the error logs through the Box Sync application. Are you able to find the logs? Can you find out what the problem is? Thankful for any help.Best wishes,Sebastian

Hi, I’ve been a fan of Box.com for years, as they have let me collaborate with my clients all times for past years and I greatly appreciate the wonderful app.  One issue I’ve been encountering for last year or two though, is that every time I upload newer version of the files and overwrite older files (with Adobe Lightroom, if that matters), the older versions of the same files keep coming back.  Let’s say the file was named photo1.JPEG, I overwrite it with newer version of photo1.JPEG - then the older version of the file I don’t want anymore, pops up as photo1-2.JPEG.  I can’t find any other way to get rid of this unless I go into the folder manually and delete them myself.  I don’t see it anywhere on the forums either.  Could someone help?  Thank you!  

My company uses the Collaboration Links (from another company's Enterprise version of Box).Using our firewall function,- Allow "somecoop.*.box.com"- Block "*.app.box.com"I tried to select other companies that can access, but the personal/free version of Box is still accessible.I would like to block sign-in/access to the personal/free version of Box.Do you have any ideas? (Blocking specific URLs, etc.)

One aspect of maintaining security posture is ensuring users are updating their Box password periodically (especially if SSO is not enabled).  Is there a way to report on the last password change through Box reporting? 

If an organization is interested in enabling the Box for Teams integration, will there be an impact to SharePoint?

We would like to build a Box App to use an uploaded file in a Box folder to update a Database every night at 10 PM? This is our first app attempt, have no idea how to get started? Thanks

Hi! We use box relay everyday, most used example would be a folder is created in “Inventory” and then 5 sub folders are automatically created. I want to create document placeholders in one of the sub folders , example inside a sub folder is document 1, document 2, document 3. These are just placeholders for an employee to attach a document to. Is there a work around for this?

Whether you’re setting up your instance for the first time or perhaps knocking the cobwebs off your older admin structure, Box offers a number of ways to assign responsibilities and access for just the right need.Below are some of the quick hit details about the nuances between the different admin levels. I’m curious how different admins in different industries or Lines of Business divvy up their roles. Let’s discuss! Admin RoleThe Admin role has the highest level of authority and access within your enterprise. Only one managed user can be assigned the Admin role, although one or more managed users can be assigned co-admin roles. Admins can:Access the entire Box Admin Console (Business Plans and above) Assign Co-admins, group admins and define Co-admin access permissions Log in to any user’s account (Business Plus and above plans only) Configure account-wide settings fo

Created a developer instance and want to be able to create user accounts. I see where we can add collaborators but I do not see users and groups to create new managed users to test with.

Hello, I would like to remove an option from a java classification.

For our use-case, we have a shared link from our tenant and we’d like to find out some basic information about it: file id, owner id, etc. Currently, we can pull that information if we already know the user but we receive a 404 error when we try to access it with an admin account. Would it be possible to add that functionality? We’re currently using this method: BoxItem.Info itemInfo = BoxItem.getSharedItem(api, sharedLink, );
