Most of the pages in Box Admin are showing unable to load such as User and Content tabs. Account/Billing and parts of Enterprise settings are visible. I tried different browser, computers, and networks, same error. Is this an ongoing issue?

I believe Co-Owners of a folder always receive alerts about deletes on a folder regardless of the notification settings, correct? Is it possible to disable this for a particular folder? Is it possible to delete this for all folders, without disabling all email notifications for all collaborators in the Enterprise Settings? 

Hi, My account says it has reached its storage limit. I have deleted a lot from the account, and it is in no way over the limit, but still says I am.  Appreciate any help you can give.  Thanks

I have an old paid box account I would like to recover if possible - it uses an email account that I currently use with a free account. Is this possible if the account was deleted more than 2+ years ago?

Hello,I have been using Box for some time and recently noticed that I am unable to access certain audio files (.wav, .aiff, and .midi) through the iOS Files app. When I try to open these files, I receive the following error message:“Cocoa error 0 – Your device couldn't connect to the server. There may be a problem with the server or network.”Other file types, such as JPEG and PDF, open without any issues in the Files app. Additionally, I am able to open all files, including audio files, without problems using the Box app on my iPad.My device is running iPadOS 18.5, and I am using Box app version 5.42.0 (25966).Reinstalling the app fixed it 😁Sorry to bother you.

Hello. I would like to transfer files stored in BOX to external media (USB, CD-ROM, etc.). In order to ensure that all stored data is transferred, I would like BOX to handle this for me. Do you offer such a service? If so, I would appreciate it if you could let me know how to request it.

Dear Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.I am a system administrator at a company, and I would like to migrate data from a specific folder to another folder within Box.However, due to the large amount of data, it is not feasible to manually copy or move the files.Therefore, I would like to use Box Shuttle to perform a bulk data migration.Unfortunately, I am unable to access Box Shuttle.When I navigate to Admin Console → Integrations → Box Shuttle and click "Add," I am redirected to the Box homepage and cannot proceed with the addition.Could you please advise me on how to properly add and access Box Shuttle?Thank you very much for your support.Kind regards,

I was recently invited to collaborate with a client on their box.com folder. I tried uploading a deliverable and the upload failed. I then tried to upload a test document which also failed. The prompt does not give me any further information other than notifying me that the upload failed. Would there be settings on their end that they will need to change, or is it something with my account?

Box told me I reset my password but will not let me enter it. Tech support? 

Hello!I am working on integrations to Box and it appears that there is no way for us to explicitly define the Folder ID (either via. API or in UI).Is this true?If so, is this feature something that is on the roadmap for the Box team?Not having the ability to do this will mean I need to query the applicable parent folder(s), cache every folder contained in the parent folders with their Name and Folder ID (there will be thousands of folders), and then reference that cache for every record to see if the folder already exists or if one needs to be created.If we were able to define the Folder ID, I would be able to set the Folder ID to the unique ID in my source system to remove the need for all of this lookup. Because we don’t have the ability to do this, an integration process we thought would be doable is now raising performance concerns due to how heavy the process is.

I have been trying to upload videos in box but every time it uploads, the quality diminishes and the videos gets blurry. Is there anything you can do on your end to maintain the original quality of the uploaded video? 

Hi, I got this issue where, when I want to add an attachment in Netsuite via “Box Content”, I get a grey screen with the error “Error: https’s server IP address could not be found”. I do see that in Box there is a folder created with the transaction number in Netsuite. So it does do something, but I cannot add any attachments. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Best regards,Lars

Hi, I am using box in a class and am meant to edit the excel sheets provided, but the option to open and edit in excel online is not present. the only option is to edit with google sheets and the window closes out whenever I try to this option.

Hello,I am logged into our Box Admin account and attempting to transfer the Admin role to another user within our organization.However, when I go to Admin Console > Users and Groups and select the current Admin account, there is no option to “Change Account Admin.” The only available role change is to assign a “Co-Admin.”We have confirmed that both the current Admin and the intended new Admin are managed users and active in our tenant.Is there any reason why the “Admin” role cannot be reassigned in this case?  Are there permission settings or plan-level restrictions that could prevent this?We need to complete the admin handover urgently, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!
