I'm unable to create folders, and get the following messageThank you.

Hi there, I am unable to request signatures. The Request signature button is grayed out and I cannot click it. Please assist.

I have an issue with users both in my enterprise org and on private accounts who utilize the files app integration in iOS experiencing a “content unavailable” error in the file browser after the users folders briefly flash/render on the screen. This is when opening up the “box” location in the files app. 

As a business critical enterprise platform fast support is sometimes needed. Being able to speak with a live person is everything. Online chat with the first support tier, or submitting a ticket that goes into the ether... neither of these give us admins a warm & fuzzy. Even Paypal, that nefarious platform, offers a callback experience. Amazon does, EBay does... Microsoft... countless others. Box is a large investment and should step up to provide more direct support options for enterprise customers.

I created a folder and uploaded MP4 videos. I asked some users with Viewer Permission to play the video but they got error message “ This Preview did not load because you don’t have permission. Please ask the file owner to update the permissions: Please help

I was sent a link from an outside agency to access and upload documents.  I was able to open it and was asked for a password which I was unable to create. I set up a box account and I am now unable to access the link that was previously sent. I don’t know if creating my own account caused this problem. I do not need a personal box account, I just need to be able to upload documents to another agency. 

Hi,I would need to add external users from my administrator console. I have upgraded the plan to the Business Plus because I need a lot of external users, but it is impossible to add them. The platform only allows me to add users of my organization.I wait for your support please.Thanks. ​@Jey Bueno Box 

I need help with updating my Box drive desktop app. I sent in the logs and it tells me to create a support case on the forums.

Hi recently  im not receiving emails from noreply@box.comHow to fix this ?

Is there a way for me to recover the deleted files if i upgrade my plan or is it too late?

Box drive does not sync with box, my files on laptop file folder do not sync with box. If I uninstall box, do I loose files on my box folder in the computer that did not sync to box

I am transferring from an old mac to a new mac using Box to work from as I do this. I brought the new mac up today after it was in the shop to transfer all the files from my old from this week. I signed on to the new mac at the prompt from box and all the files that I had worked on from the week were gone. How can I retrieve these files please? Thank you for all your help! 

It’s ridiculous that this is STILL a thing. Can someone please please please run the silly script that corrects my storage limit? Thanks! 

Say an organisation has the Business Plus plan (with unlimited external collaborators). 1. When an external user on a Free Individual account becomes an external collaborator, does that free user get to piggyback on the Business Plus organisation's storage space and sync more than 10 GB? Or do they remain restricted to syncing 10 GB? 2. Is it possible to add a specific number of "external collaborators" to any of the plans below the Business Plus plan? Or, if you want to have external collaborators, is Business Plus or above is the only option?

Hello everybody, I have to add myself to the plethora of people struggling with this problem for months now: my storage limit is 10 GB and I'm only using a small proportion of it. Box keeps telling me via the "counter" on the lower left side of the home-screen, I'm using 9,7 GB. Everytime I want to upload something, it says I need to upgrade my account to a programme with costs. I'll maybe consider this, but not before this problem with my free account is solved (it should be a matter of a click in the right box/resetting the counter - I've read in another help-thread that there's a code for that, so PLEASE run this on my account). Many thanks, Bernhard

Hello, Our company is undergoing an industry accreditation audit that requires our files be backed up in more than one place. We currently use Box as our only file storage.  What is the best way to automatically back up our Box data on a schedule to another cloud provider (currently looking at Azure Blob storage but would consider an AWS option). In my search thus far, I don't see much information regarding getting information OUT of box for this purpose. Can someone help with ideas? Thanks in advance.

I’ve searched a lot, youtube, Box, and Zoom documentation, and the docs always point to an activation box but none show WHERE. I just want to have my recordings transferred to my box folder(s).

I’m attempting to synchronize a variety of folders between Box and my iPad. I use the iPad when at a job site, and may not have access to wifi. This works very well for some folders, but other folders show as continually “Downloading” and the Sync Activity shows “Saving Unsuccessful” for that folder. How can I troubleshoot, and ultimately resolve this problem?

A GEICO insurance adjuster had me try and upload some documents using Box, I created an account and tried to upload the one document to the shared folder and it says I don’t have enough storage space, which is incorrect because I only have one document. I need help getting this uploaded, it is time sensitive. Additionally, the lack of easy to use customer support is insane. 

 per https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044193393-Admin-Transfer-Protocol-for-Departed-Admins, I need an "admin password reset link."  The admin on our account has left our organization; I am a co-admin, but need to be the main admin so I can disable that admin's access.   I have the info needed (again, per the link above) to request the link, including the invoice number, date and amount, and check number.   BUT: I don't see where I go to request the link.  I just keep getting sent to this forum.  What is my next step?

I have multiple customers reporting that they cannot access the BOX shared links that I send them.  My links are public, accessible to everyone with the link.  Experiation date 30 days, not yet expired.  All of these links work for me just fine, even if I open it on a computer not logged into BOX. These companies are all large government contractors with high-security standards.  They’re not going to adjust their settings for me, a lowly sub contractor.It appears something has changed with BOX that may be triggering their firewalls for the past month.  Can this be resolved?
