I would like to wipe my account and start over as most of the files are now outdated. I’ve found the following instructions, but they don’t work for me:Select the items you'd like to delete by pressing and holding the Shift or Command key and clicking next to each file/folder name. Press Shift to select everything between the first and last item.  Press Command to select multiple items individually.  Selected items are highlighted. When you have selected all items, scroll to the top of the file display and in the upper-right click the trash icon.When I follow steps 1 &2 the trash icon does not appear for me, all I can select are Email, Tag, Move or Copy, Download or Collections.  Does anyone have suggestions? Is there a better way?

A link that was intended to provide access to a specific file appears to be allowing access to additional folders beyond what was intended. This raises concerns about unintended data exposure and permission settings. How is this possible? Is this a unique issue? 

Hi, I used Box from last year and after my account renewed from this year, my data doesn’t appear. At the early of this year, it exist but from last month it was totally deleted. Please help to get the data back.   

As an admin I yesterday upgraded my account with the Starter package when receiving a message that my storage limit had been reached .  I have received a paid-in-full invoice for that.  However I am still not able to add a file to my account, even though it shows that I’ve only used 480mb of the 100gb allocated to my account.

I frequently receive html files from developers or generate images/svgs to send to developers. But when I try to open them in Safari directly from my box drive, safari cannot open the files? maybe there is some privacy setting I didn't enable or something? But if the same files are on my local drive, not in box, they open fine. or I can open them directly from box drive in other browsers. just not in safari? I'd love to be able to open them directly from box within safari. is there any way to achieve this? 

I created an account and subscribed to a free 1-week trial of the most basic premium account because I needed to upload a single file for an organization I am a part of. After completing that process I verified my email and attempted to login where I was told I did not have an account with the email input. This is the same email I just received the box verification for, so i was confused. I tried one more time to login using the same email verification link but there was an error. Then I just created a new account, this time on my computer, but I did not begin a free trial for any of the premium services. However when I attempted to research if I would still be charged for my old account, I ran into the terrible system that is Box. I was charged for 3 quantities of business licenses and that needs to be refunded. Never have I had such a terrible experience with a service like Box. It is impossible to check on your subscriptions and even harder to contact support because there is non ex

Every time I sign in to Box, the first thing that pops up is an Errors dialog with video and MP3 upload errors. The only choice seems to be Retry All. But I don't want to upload the files anymore. How do I delete the error message?

Earlier today, I lost my files that I saved on my box via my PC. Could you restore them please? I have logged on my box account on the web, but my account is just empty, including the trash folder. I can’t find my documents anywhere. The files were disappearing (deleted) as though someone was deleting them from somewhere. Note, I do no share my account with anyone. This is so frustrating. Please help!

I am trying to link a personal email address to my Box account.First, I tried to add an email address that is not registered with any Box account. However, the verification email I received was broken and the HTML was not displayed properly, so I could not click the verification button or complete the verification process.I then removed that email address and tried to add a different one, but I received an error while adding it to my Box account.I have already tried the following:using an email address that is not registered with any Box account clearing browser cache using incognito/private mode trying a different email addressThe issue still persists.Could you please check whether there is any delay before a removed email address is fully released, or whether my account is in an inconsistent state?Please also let me know how I can successfully complete the email linking process.

I am the primary Admin on a Box Business account and I am receiving the error "You do not have permissions to add a new users, contact your administrator for assistance" when trying to add managed users through the Admin Console. I have verified that my account role is set to Admin (not Co-Admin) and the account status is Active, so the permissions appear to be correctly configured. The error occurs on the second Save attempt after the expected "1 user failed to be added" warning (due to the users having existing personal Box accounts). Could someone from Box please help investigate why the primary Admin account is unable to add managed users?

When I go to "Save a Copy" of my Word or Excel documents that I opened in Box... there are no options to save as a PDF... just gives a couple of basic options. See the screenshot below. I can go and browse and find the location again and through that method I can get the right options, but just the basic... save a copy... it doesn't exist. This works on my Mac as expected and works if I am using OneDrive... but for some reason I can't get it to work on Windows using Box.  

Hello,  I am trying to give access to some of our external files to a grant holder, however they are unable to access BOX. She can receive the shared links, however when she opens the links they only lead to a blank page that looks 80% loaded.  I have tried getting her access other ways, however she is unable to get past the 80%. She was able to log in using a  colleagues log in, but that has since started doing the same issue.    I have looked everywhere for a phone number or a support email to be able to address this and cant find one anywhere.
