Can someone ask Box when they are going to support the sync’ing of *.pst files?  

Dear Box Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.I heard during a user training that Box imposes a limit of 1 PB (petabyte) per user (owner). However, I could not find any mention of such a per‑user limit in the publicly available documentation.Could you please confirm the following:Is there a maximum storage allocation of 1 PB per user (owner) in Box?   If such a limit exists, could you kindly share the official documentation or specification that details this restriction?Thank you very much for your assistance.  Boxにおいて、1ユーザー（所有者）あたりの所有できるストレージ容量が最大1 PB（ペタバイト）までという話を聞きました。  しかし、公開されている公式ドキュメントではそのような所有者単位の1 PB制限について記載を確認できませんでした。そこで、以下についてご確認させていただけますでしょうか：・Boxのユーザー（所有者）あたりのストレージ容量上限は1 PBなのでしょうか？  ・そのような制限が存在する場合、該当する公式資料や仕様書をご教示いただけますと幸いです。

I`d appriciate it if you tell me how I can activate “Enterprise plan” for my collegues. I just payed for three users including mine, thinking let my two collegues who have free accounts use as well, but I have no idea to do it. It seems I have successed to get my account upgraded to the plan though.I know this is the very basic question but we all just started using BOX and are not used to it. Please tell me if this isn`t a proper way to asking this kind of question.

Hello,I changed the primary email addresses of our employees via the Box Admin Console.Most employees successfully received the verification emails and were able to verify their accounts. However, some employees did not receive the verification email. They only received a notification email stating that the primary email address had been changed by the administrator, but the verification email did not arrive.The employees who did not receive the verification emails are using the web version of Outlook and are working on Mac computers.Is there any possibility that emails are not being delivered on Macs, or are there any specific settings required?What we have tried/checked so far: Checked the spam/junk folder Confirmed that emails from notify.box.com are being received Resent the verification email I would appreciate it if you could advise me on how to resolve this issue. Thank you. Kou

I signed up for a Box Enterprise trial with my primary email. I am getting the helpful tip emails but the confirmation email never arrives. I have tried sending many times, and checked junk and quarantine. I can see from an Exchange message trace that this email is not getting to us.I was able to get around this my doing a password reset and now I can log in. However, for certain setting changes I am bring asked for a 2 step authentication code which is being sent by email, which I am also not receiving. Again no sign of it having arrived at our office tenant, so not spam or junk filtering on our end.As a result, I am unable to get this configured before we add more users.

Hi there, We’re a registered nonprofit using Box Sign. We’ve recently noticed that the option to request signatures or sign documents ourselves is no longer appearing in our account. Is there a monthly limit to how many documents we can send for signature under the nonprofit plan?
