We can’t seem to find the page you’re looking for.”The issue appears to affect folder access, and the Collections section also shows “Failed to load Collections.” We are unable to proceed with accessing the required files and folders for our work.Kindly check if there is an ongoing Box.com service issue or account/folder access problem. it was working earlier about 7:30pm EST. but now when im validating through the shared link, im getting this error. 

Hi, I have 3 folders that I am an “editor” on. The “owner” of each of these 3 folders has since left our firm and no longer has access to the email address associated with his box account so he is unable to login to his box.com account and give me “owner” access. Additionally, my box account is not associated with a company/admin account, so there’s no one internally at our company who can help with this. How can I get myself as the “owner” of these client folders?

I have a Doc Gen template that is ignoring one instance of a template tag variable in the first page footer of the document. The same variable is properly filled in on the generated document everywhere else it is found, including the footer of additional pages. Is this a known issue? The footer affected in this way does not have a “Different First Page” option selected. It is the same footer on every page.The Doc Gen Template downloaded directly from Box is attached as Policy_BoxTemplate_v1An example of the resulting document created from the template is attached as 3000_WIP 

Hello!I need assistance with enabling my account as a free developer account so I can authorize apps and continue developing.

I am trying to add a user but it says the email is already used in Box but not associated with an enterprise. How do I add them to my group? 

I uploaded an image file, but the preview doesn’t work and just says “box preview failed to load for this file”. is there anything I can do to troubleshoot?

I have a Relay workflow that is being triggered an excessive number of times and assigning an excessive number of tasks to the same people over and over again, when the conditions for the task to be assigned are only being met once and I make sure to invalidate the conditions as part of the flow, so I can guarantee there is not a feedback loop occurring. I initially thought that the issue might be caused because I was evaluating 16 metadata values to trigger the task, so I implemented a “fix” where when the 16 metadata conditions were met, the flow would update a single metadata value. Then a separate flow would listen only for the single metadata value to trigger the task. However, this seems to have exasperated the problem exponentially, not solved it.Based on that, I would imagine that the solution needs to be cutting down on the number of metadata values being watched for in general, but I can’t let this action fire until an indeterminate number of simultaneous tasks are completed

When I tried to create a free account using my company email address, I received an error message saying "Email address is invalid" and was unable to proceed.I have confirmed that the email address is correct, and I have not already created a Box account with this email address.

Hi everyone,I’m facing a technical deadlock and I need some help. I accidentally deleted a folder containing 53GB of data (composed of many small files). It is currently in my Trash.However, my account has a 50GB storage limit. When I try to restore the folder, Box prevents the action, stating that the folder exceeds my account's capacity.Since I cannot "open" the folder within the Trash to restore it piece by piece, I am stuck. I cannot restore it to download and move it elsewhere because I don't have enough "active" space to hold it.Could a moderator or support agent temporarily increase my quota or help me restore this folder so I can retrieve my data?Thank you in advance.
