Please provide me with the link to the older version of box desktop app that supports Mac OS 12.7 Monterey 

I deleted a user that is no longer with us. I’d like to add their replacement but BOX is listing my Managed Users at 8 while I only have 7. My billing page says I have a seat open, but the “Users & Groups” page says I do not. Screenshots of the pages below.  Help.   

I am exploring a method to restrict certain file types (.exe and .msi for example) from being uploaded into our Box (Enterprise Plus) instance and I don’t see a native way to “block” uploads based on file type. I am thinking the only way to “achieve” this would be to use the Box API to search for files (or perhaps Shield Alert Event list?) with the specific extensions periodically and delete them.Using a normal search, I am concerned about lag time from search indexing, as well as the cadence of that search.I suppose I could create a Classification policy to classify these files by type, then use Shield to apply Security controls on the classification until the file is deleted by the API process or a Governance Policy, or until someone reviews the alert deletes the file manually. Box Relay seems out of the question as it doesn’t seem to propagate into subfolders, nor can I run a scheduled relay to delete based on Classification alone.Are there any clean ways that you’ve accomplished th

Do I need to upgrade my plan as a collaborator to send unlimited e-signs or do I need to upgrade my plan? Please help. 

Hello,I cannot sign in to my box account due to my phone number is changed. I cannot get the two factor auth number. I have read the related topic:I tried to submit a ticket to our Product Support team from https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/requests, but the submit button doesn’t work.Thank you,

I was attempting to carry out the following steps in order to switch the default email address to one with an alias: Link the target email address using “Link personal email” Change the primary email address to the newly added email address. Delete the email address that was originally set as the primary one. What I did: Linked the target email address using “Link personal email” → Confirmed that a verification (approval) email was sent. Before approving via the verification email, I deleted the newly added email address from the account settings screen (I mistakenly thought there was an error in the alias and intended to revert to the original state once). → Deletion completed successfully. Attempted again to link the target email address. → An error message saying “An error occurred while adding the account” is displayed, and I am unable to link the email address. How can this issue be resolved?

I am getting very frustrated with Wealthbox.xom and Box.com.  I completed a document migration 2 weeks ago, I have the Box.com account but my other users for Wealthbox are being forced to get a Box.xom subscription to access files that we imported.  This is my second attempt at getting an answer from support at Box.xom, which I am beginning to feel is all a scam.

My current email address will expire next month. I tried updating it through Account setting → Link personal email.However it failed and showed an error message ‘There was an error while trying to add ~~~@~~~ to your account’ 

We are adding our client to box and his email is not receiving the invitation, trouble shooting has not helped to resolve the issue. TIA for guidance. 

I have a business plus account, which supports custom terms of service, but the help article says to contact your customer success manager. I have not yet been assigned or contacted by one. I have no option to contact support other than through posting on this forum.Please advise, and if possible, enable this feature for me. It is an essential part of our use case for Box. 

Hello, I'm having an issue that seems fairly common. I'm unable to change my primary email address for BOX from my PGCE address to my permanent personal address. Any help or advice is much appreciated!

I need some urgent help because it looks like one of my users had a problem with BoxDrive when changing their laptop and the new laptop over-wrote many folders with empty folders so we’ve lost all the contents.  There is nothing in the Bin since nothing has been “deleted”, and there are no files so no “version” reset options.I think I need someone from Box Support to help me directly but I can’t login to the support site for some reason?? and so can’t raise a ticket.  I’ve already sent in two form requests but no reply from Box.com yet.Anyone with any other ideas/suggestions from similar experience?

I have not been receiving email notifications when tagged in items.  I have gone through all the recommended settings but this has not fixed the issue.  Please advise.

Hi Box -I just purchased a year of the Business plan, which includes 3 seats.Since I just purchased this, the plan shows just 1 user -- me.But when I try to add another user, it says I will get charged for a 4th seat. This doesn’t seem right.How can I add a user to one of the remaining 2 seats that are included in my plan?Thanks

BOXでデータを共有していたのですが、相手が辞めてしまったみたいでデータが無くなって見れなくなった。データをダウンロードする方法はありますか？ I was sharing data on Box, but it seems the other person has left the company, and the data has disappeared and can no longer be viewed.Is there any way to download the data?

My program manager has sent me an invitation to share his folders on BOX. Also an associate has shared some files in another folder for another effort. Last week I was able to get access to the associate's folder however I was not able to get access to my Program manager's. I couldn't set up a second box account based on my email address associated with my PM’s invitation.  I tried using both email addresses my PM associates me with.

How do you set up a folder to receive files that include name, email and description from sender? I want to set up our file request just like the SBA has their account set up  

After an Upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 the BOX drive was moved. I am using BOX DriveNormal position for all BOX files is: C:\Users\me_the_user\Box After Windows 11 was installed it ended up in: C:\Users\me_the_user\OneDrive - THE COMPANY I WORK NAME INTERNATIONAL, INC\BOX Is there an easy fix to get things back as it always has been? C:\Users\me_the_user\Box Thank you, Best regards, Marcel Fox

Hi, i’m not able to add a mobile phone for dual factor authentication. Is there a link I can use to set this up? Thank you!

Unable to add user that was previously deleted

I recently deleted a license that was used by a former employee and transferred the data associated with them. Why am I not seeing an available license to assign? I would like to move the license that was occupied by the former employee to our new employee. Thank you, Mike

Hello, I need help from box support team to update primary admin for our company box account. Current primary admin has left the company and we need to reassign the role.Thank you.

My accountant is requiring me to set up 2FA. I have tried setting it up using both the SMS option and the Authenticator app option. I have followed all the steps and saved the changes. Yet when I log out and log back in, it’s letting me right into Box - it’s not requiring 2FA. Usually I use Chrome as my browser, but I decided to try Safari and only the first time did it require me to use the authenticator app. After that it let me in without it. I tried deleting cookies, etc. but it still is not requiring 2FA.

Hi, we have Box Business with three users. It says unlimited storage but somehow only the admin has unlimited storage, the two other users only have 10GB. How can this be solved?

I’ve been running POCs to get a Creative dept project off the ground and Box has been the frontrunner. Completed initial Single Sign-On (SSO) config w/ our Okta tenant late last week, but the status has been stuck at “Awaiting file connection” ever since. No change, no email notifications, and no option to cancel or retry.I can’t find any documentation suggesting there’s anything I can do other than “wait 24 hours,” and it’s been well beyond that. No way to open a formal support ticket. The team is already questioning whether Box is viable based on this experience (“...if this is what support is going to be like”).Does anyone have any advice? We’re completely blocked until SSO is working. Appreciate it in advance!
