Out of storage on unlimited account, how does this even make sense?  

Someone I am sharing a document with has this error: “unable to save workbook ‘changes cannot be saved because you either reached the file size limit or your storage limit’”If this is related to excel or the computer how do I fix it 

having an issue where every time I open a MS office doc it wants me to "Log in to grant access to Box." It does it every time I open a Word doc and doesn't seem to register. I've had this set up this way for months/years, so I'm not sure why it's being finicky all of the sudden. This dialog comes up both when I fire up a file from a Box/Explorer folder and when I open Word first and navigate to a folder within the Box Drive. This issue is not a problem on my other laptop.

Hello, I need access to the latest SOC2 Type 2 report from Box.The trust center indicates that I need to make a request to a CSM / account rep, I do not have one. I don’t see an option to create a support ticket either.

Hi all, I am seeing that a Retention Policy can be applied based on metadata. Can it not be applied based on Classification?   Thank you

Hi Team， The Excel file I uploaded to Box is showing the Malware alert, this file was renamed from an older file, the older file did not receive this alert in Box.May I ask what is causing this? Is there any way to get rid of it.

I have an issue with the Netsuite integration. I get this error, SERVICE AUTHENTICATION ERROR,  when trying to create a folder on a tranaction. I can see this has been raised previously with no comments or resolution. Can anyone assist?

We invited the user to create a Box account, but it appears they had previously registered with Box. They had set up two-factor authentication using SMS (mobile phone number), but since their phone number has changed, they are unable to receive the SMS and cannot log in.According to the help documentation, in this case, Support needs to remove the multi-factor authentication.Could you please assist with this request?Target user: [removed by moderator]

When I try and add a user to our Enterprise Account who has an existing free box account I get a message that states "1 user failed to be added". Creates a csv file that shows the email address to be added and the message "Email already used in a Box account but not associated with an enterprise". Also see a yellow circle with an exclamation point in it next to the email address of the user I am trying to add. Hovering over it pops up the same message.

I’ve been experiencing an annoying bug the past few weeks. When I try to unlock a file and the “unlock file” popup appears, I used to be able to hit “return” on my keyboard to unlock the file. Now, “return” dismisses the popup, but it doesn’t actually unlock the file. I have to mouse-click the button to actually unlock. It’s happening in Chrome and Safari. It’s more annoying than mission critical, but I’m curious whether anyone else is experiencing this!

I have tried to follow existing instructions to add a new email and then make that one primary. I NEVER get an option to change the second email to primary. Please help.

I see several posts for this problem but none have a solution so I am starting a new one.Have a user who got this error when opening Box Drive (version 2.49.55.0): I had him uninstall/reinstall and is still getting the same error.

How do you regain access to a file link sent to you that has expired?

Can't I add a new user to my Box account

Several files on our account have disappeared, and we have not received any notifications about deletions, sync errors, or other activity that would explain their removal.We have also reviewed activity and previous support posts but haven’t been able to find guidance that addresses this specific situation. We’d like to find out if there are any sync or system issues that could have caused this. We also require support in recovering these files. We do not know exactly what is missing but there have been a few instances that make us very worried about the rest of our files.We would really appreciate your assistance in investigating what may have happened and advising on next steps

I have been accessing Box via the app on my Mac computer using the finder. Some of them have just disappeared and I can see a red exclaimation mark on some of the folders too. I have logged in via the web and I also can’t see them there either. I haven’t removed them and I want to find out how to find them again. Can you help please? Many thanks! 

I downloaded all of my files onto a harddrive and stopped paying for the subscription as I couldn’t afford it. I’ve now moved onto a new project, but when I went through my documents, numerous files were empty/hadn’t downloaded properly. I therefore need to access the old files on Box, but because I’d stopped paying, it wouldn’t let me log in or reset my password… Is there any way I can get my files back?

I’ve been trying to get Shuttle set up, but “Getting Started” takes me to a pricing page (even though we are Business members) and “Log In” take some to my Box dashboard.  I don’t seem to find a way to actually start the service.

Hello,We have a user that using Box Sign to send documents to people in our company. One email address is bouncing back.

Hello, I have an Enterprise Account and have invited collaborators via link and direct email. The first issue was the external did not have a box account, then they signed up for a free account. Then the new error says the file or folder shared is unavailable to you. Unsure what to do, please call me.
