I'm having a major storage limit issue with my company box account. We are unable to upload files to our account, it keeps saying we are out of storage. However, we should have plenty of storage available as we have UNLIMITED storage. We followed the steps to set everyone’s storage quota to unlimited but the issue is still not happening.This is extremely important. Our entire company runs on box and not being able to store anything shuts down our entire operation. We have unlimited storage , this shouldn’t even be an issue. Please help get this resolved immediately

Hi, Can I raise a ticket please. Colleague has shared a folder with me, i have accepted but wont let me access it. Please help. 

After being invited as a collaborator to a file, I accepted the invitation but I am unable to access the documents upon logging in..

I am writing on behalf of our client, who holds a Box account under the Enterprise ID 1263899363.Also, we will hide some parts of your email address, but it is "de***n@sa**ik***et**.co.**".Our client is currently encountering operational challenges due to bandwidth limitations imposed on their account. As part of an ongoing project involving large file transfers—including high-resolution media files and design assets—they require an increased daily bandwidth allocation to ensure uninterrupted workflows.We kindly request that you review their account status and consider raising the bandwidth threshold, either temporarily, to accommodate their current project needs.If additional information, authorization, or contact from the client is necessary, we would be happy to facilitate the coordination.Thank you for your consideration and support.Best regards,  

Same as a post in 2024. Some Word files (Mac) do not open in Preview in BOX. Some do. This started with files editied in the past day. Other files edited prior to yesterday can open in Preview. My collaborator is having the same problem on her PC. Chrome and Safari caches have been cleared. Neither works.  

Hi there, I was trying to work with a property manager and uploaded some sensitve documents becuase I thought I was going to rent with them. As I went forward in the process I started to feel uncomfortable and decided to back out of moving forward with renting the unit. My files that I uploaded are still here and I wish for them to be removed. I do not trust the owner of them and they have no need for my documents any longer. I would like to file a report to have them removed from the folder. I understand your want of intergrity but since they have no reason to continue to have my documents I believe they should be able to be deleted.  I do not feel comfortable reaching out to the person I collaborated with and hope that you can help me. Please help me as I don’t want my sensitive documents shared with the user any longer. 

私はBOXの共同所有者です。外部パートナーを招待しようとしたところエラーが生じました。エラーメッセージ「外部コラボレータの招待が許可されていないため、次のユーザーに招待を送信できませんでした」。どのように対応したら私が外部コラボレータを招待できるでしょうか？

Hello, my workplace has a Box.com pro account, but when I try to log into Box.com with my work email, it brings me to a page that asks me to re-up my paid business Box.com account.  Oddly enough, I can access Box.com using my personal email, and this email has access to my employer’s Box.com files. However, when out Admin person tries to add my work email, they are unable to do so because of the accounts status.  I think my work email account needs to be reset in some way so it can be added to the employers Box.com list of emails. Thank you,~J

Why is it literally impossible to connect with someone on the Box team? I have files that were uploaded to box that I am unable to download. I will not continue using box as there is no avenue to connect with a team member. 

Hi,In CCG model , what is the minimum requirement should business plant be sufficient or should I get a Enterprise plan for App+Enterprise Access.Also, may I know the client secret expiry duration. 

I’ve created a RELAY workflow on my folders to automatically delete the files as they are downloaded.  Before this was employed, I received notifications that told me the files were downloaded and by whom, etc.. These “downloaded” notifications stopped when the RELAY was used.  Now I get only a “file was deleted” notification email.  I need to get the other emails working again; or an alternative. Please help! Thank you!

I am getting this error message when I try to work on a powerpoint online through Box:Essentially, it doesn’t save what I’m working on (continuous problem) and then occasionally this error message comes up. I would really prefer to talk to someone about this, but posting here in case there’s an easy solution. I didn’t find any in the forums. 

Dear Box Supporters,I'm a Box administrator of my campany.I need to delete a user who recently left our organization. Before I do, I have some questions about what happens to the folders and files that user created. I want to make sure we can keep and continue using them.Could you please clarify the following?•What happens to a user's folders and files when the user account is deleted? What are the implications or changes to these assets?•Are there any necessary procedures or steps we should take before deleting a user's account to ensure their content is preserved and accessible?•Are there any critical considerations or tips we should be aware of when deleting a user account, especially regarding content ownership and accessibility?Thank you for your time and assistance.I look forward to your prompt response.

 I frequently use Box to share files with customers by creating the shared link.  On my most recent upload, when someone tries to access they are being asked to log into box.  This hasn’t happened before, does anyone know what might be causing the issue?

Hi,  I have a free account, but I am on an enterprise account that is supposted to have unlimited storage.  I am getting as of today upload error messages.  What gives?  Who can help to resolve.  As much as I like Box, I hate the lack of support.

I can’t find a place on the web site to check status, but box.com is awfully flaky right now,  3 pm Eastern on 6-12-25.  Can’t open, can’t save, can’t download.

I continue to get an error when trying to upgrade my account ! Why does this have to be so difficult.

Email notifications have stopped coming. This is happening across all accounts. We are not receiving any email notifications for actions such as uploads, downloads, deletions, or comments. Could you please let us know the possible causes and how to resolve this issue?

Vendor partner to Box and unable to access a shared file from email invite and share link. Share link worked once, then I get this error  

saved file in the Box are not opening

I have an issue, the files are not opening and even if we try to downlaod, it say an error message that an error occured and that they couldnt download the file. To contact the administrators. Where can I open a ticket to get this figure out, is it an outage or a problem on our side ?

I can't seem to upload in box drive. I get a failure to upload when i try. I have restarted my computer and it still gives me a failure to upload to my box drive. 

All of a sudden, I’m unable to preview any files or download anything. The file will take a few minutes to load, then will say, “We’re sorry. We ran into a problem completing your request. Please try that again in a few minutes.” But when I try to download said file, nothing happens. I’ve cleared my cache, etc. multiple times, updated my browser, tried other browsers, etc. and nothing is working. How can I fix this so I can continue working? This is so stressful!

Hi there,  We are unable to view or download the files. It comes up with error message  "We’re sorry, the preview didn’t load. This document may be protected." This keeps happening, even after problem seems to be resolved.   

I have been trying to do this for quite some time with no success.  I even made the file size smaller with no success. Please advise.
