Solved

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!

I’ve tried clearing my cache.  I’ve tried incognito mode.  I just set up this account today and I’m having issues submitting a ticket and setting up users.  This may be the worst product I’ve ever paid for.

Recently, I have experienced an issue where every Excel workbook I open from Box Drive will open with the message “This file has been moved. We recommend saving it now to finish moving it.”Some things to know:It only happens with Excel files, nothing else. The files have not been moved as their location, name, and last modified dates all reflect that which is in Box Online. Uninstalling and reinstalling Box Drive does not fix it Repairing Office does not fix itI have heard of other users having a similar issue but have not seen a resolution from Box yet regarding this.

I received an email purporting to be from this site regarding “Box Sync end of life”; is this legit?

I have a GoPro 360º camera and the video files come off like {filename}.360 (the file extension is *.360) and for some reason Box doesn't want to upload these files. I have other mp4 files in the same directory that are larger files and upload fine. I suspect the limitation is due to the file extension? Has anyone else seen this, and do you have any ideas for how to workaround it?   Screenshots:

I deleted a large folder several times from the Box Drive app, and it does not appear in the browser version, but will not disappear from my list of main-level folders in Box Drive. It has a red dot with (I think) an exclamation mark in it. Trying to reduce the size of my list of folders.

Colleague added me as a co-owner to the folder.My collaboration setting is set to auto accept.I did not receive any collaboration email. Not filtered by spam.

I previously subscribed to the Personal Pro $10 plan some time ago. Recently, as my storage was full, I decided to upgrade. During the process, I was shown the Starter $5 plan, which clearly stated “All Personal Pro Features, plus”, and listed benefits such as 100GB storage and 2GB file upload limit. However, after completing the purchase, my account storage did not increase to 200GB as expected, and the additional features also do not seem to reflect what was stated.Could anyone help please clarify:Why my storage did not reflect the upgraded total capacity?If the Starter plan includes all Personal Pro features, why are those features not added to my account?Does the Starter plan add on top of Personal Pro, or does it replace the existing plan?How exactly should the storage and features be calculated based on these plan descriptions?  I’d appreciate all clarification on this matter. Thank you.

Due to an Authenticator malfunction, I was unable to log in, but I managed to log in using a backup code. However, since I cannot use a backup code every time, I would like to delete the currently registered multi-factor authentication method and re-register it.If I delete the currently registered authentication method, will I be automatically prompted to set up multi-factor authentication again? And if so, should I simply register the multi-factor authentication there?

Could you please provide guidance on BoxSDK?When retrieving folder IDs using BoxSDK, we are encountering an issue where multiple folder IDs are returned even though only one folder should exist.The following method is being looped, and more than 200 folder IDs are being obtained.Since we have specified modified_at for sorting, we suspect that this issue occurs because the timing of folder updates overlaps with the timing of the loop that retrieves folder IDs. Is this assumption correct?Also, could you please advise on how to avoid this issue?method　　：　BoxClient.SearchManager.QueryAsync()parameter　：　limit:200,sort: "modified_at",offset:[1+200*n]

I don’t see the  file request button on my Box Enterprise version as I did in my trial Business license. I recently upgraded to the Enterprise version. What am I missing? All the settings are there.

Our team was using the free Box Community Edition to store several important documents. As of recently, all team members have lost access to every document in that environment.
