Solved

I need to automate sending an approval task to several users (10 to 15 individuals) based on some criteria. The individual users will not be consistent, and I would rather not have to update the list of users in every flow manually after every change in employment. Can I add a group name into the Assignee(s) field in the flow? Are there any formatting or structural requirements to properly reference a group in this field?

Hi,We signed up for a Box.com business account with 3 users and then we purchased an additional seat, totaling 4 users.  We were able to invite 2 of the 3 additional users but are stuck on the last one.  The accounts were previously box.com personal accounts and I followed the steps to invite them to the business account.  The final account we are trying to add is a personal pro account.As I said 2 of them worked fine but we are having trouble on the third.  Initial attempts to invite the last person were telling me, as the Admin, that I did not have permissions to invite anyone.  I had just invited the other two and it worked fine.  I kept attempting to invite the third person but nothing changed.  I have confirmed I am still the primary admin. Error received even though I am the primary adminNow, it’s telling us we have 22 out of 4 users?  It only shows the 3 users we currently have added.  There are 0 external users as well.  What is going on here? 22 out of 4 users but only 3 of us

The getting started as box tech partner (here) mentions about keeping an integration ‘unpublished’ - I am struggling to find any extra information about what this means exactly. Aside from discoverability, are there any differences between the an unpublished and published integration? Are unpublished integrations just a platform app defined in our tenancies dev console (with purpose set to integration), where we then provide the client id to customers so they can add and enable the platform app in their admin console?Thanks in advanceA

Hi, I am a new Business Starter member. I’m able to use the “file request” function in my account, however, I recently know that the "file request” requires the Business plan or above.Is this function in my account temporally available, or is it also available for Business Starter? Thank you for your support in advance.

Hi,I’d setup a Box account to get at some shared files from another business user.  Used my work email address and setup a credentialed account, which I appear to be able to login to here in support, but when I try to access the main application, it tries Google auth after I input my email even though I don’t choose google login - my email is no longer associated with a Google account so can’t log in (my work used to use Google but has since switched and removed our Google accounts from our work emails). This was working for some time until today (but hadn’t logged in a while).  I can maybe setup another personal account and see if they can re-share files to it, but thought I’d check here to see if you have any ideas.  Would prefer to continue to use my current work account...

Hello to all of you. I ran into an issue with files being renamed by someone and can’t find out who did it. The details pane says that last modification was by me and shows the date of my last version of the file upload. The file is listed as being version 1, while in fact it is version 2. No info on who renamed it. I have not received notification via email either. I receive an email on uploads, deletes, and comments. So, the problem for me is two-fold:I don’t receive notification on file rename, there is no such option in my interface.  The file properties/details do not acknowledge that the file was modified by another person and thus the blame for renaming goes to the uploader because he/she is the one listed as being the last person modifying the file regardless that someone else actually modified it after the last upload.The problem can be easily replicated, it is persistent. Is there a resolution on this issue e.g. subscription plan that eliminates confusions like these?

Hi,I´m a free user. There is plenty of storage capacity left according account settings.When trying to upload PDF-files with size lager than 1 MB but smaller than 250MB, upload fails. Depending on file size, upload stucks at some % (the larger the file, the lower is percentage) and does not move forward. This ist new behaviour observed since beginning of 2025.In the past, upload of files between 1 to 15 MB was no problem. What could be the reasons?Appreciate helpful hints.Thank youUlrich

I completed the account establishment process. No additional directions were provided as to next steps nor did a screen appear that indicated I had an account.  In fact I was looking at a blank screen. Later found an email that I had to respond to which timed out before I found it.What do I do now. Clicking the start button from my invitation did not allow me to start from scratch again.Any way someone can walk me through the process.Thank you.

I registered today and am currently on the 7-day Enterprise trial—our top priority is that all data at rest remain within the EU, so we need to enable Box Zones, yet I cannot find any “Data Residency/Zones” option in the Admin Console or in the plan details; could you please confirm whether Box Zones is available during the trial and, if not, which paid plan or add-on is required (with an indicative per-user cost) and the typical activation/migration times for any files already uploaded?

Any decent File Manager is now having an issue completing the Cloud Box access as it gets stuck on the Grant Access page. There is no way to activate/click the button when you don't have a mouse. This is a new problem. If the user has already gone thru inputting the OS auth code successfully on top of the login creds then WHY do we have to do Grant Access page submit? It's now made using Cloud access Box with any File Manager on Android TV USELESS. It used to work but now a problem.

Hello, complete noob here.  Recently upgraded to Business Enterprise account.  This is probably a simple thing but i cant seem to figure it out.  I downloaded Box Drive to use the sync feature.  The default and apparently only install location is my C: Drive.  My C: drive is only a small ssd drive that i used to store Windows itself.  When using the sync feature, Box is storing those files on the C:drive which has no space left so it fails.  Is there any simple thing that im overlooking or way to change the drive in which these files that im trying to sync are stored. Thanks for your help!

Hey everyone, I’m wondering if there is a way to share a template that I made with my entire university?   We have a fillable PDF that sits in a template that anyone can access, its in Box, via a community dashboard.   I have converted the PDF to a Box Template using Box Sign to capture signatures electronically.   In order to share the template with others its looks like I have to share via Email account, but Im wondering if there is another way for the template to be university wide without me having to share it everyone that wants to use it.  Thanks for your suggestions.
