I can view box notes on my computer, but on my Android phone the box.com app says p”review unavailable you need permission to view this file” when I try to open a box note. Any suggestions?

Hi ​@rusty1a1

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re glad to assist! 

 

Please follow the preliminary troubleshooting steps to resolve your preview error on Box for Android: 

  • Confirm the Android app is logged into the same account as the desktop
  • By any chance, are you accessing the file via shared link? If yes, go over to the folder and open the file.
  • Refresh, then reinstall the app
  • Try a different network and test in the mobile browser

 

Hope it works! Please let us know how it goes.
