I don’t understand why I can’t do anything in Box.  The web opens but I can’t delete or create files or folders.  I thought maybe I needed to delete some stuff to get it to work but I can’t.  Just an error message that Box had trouble completing my request.

Hi ​@moodyd

Welcome to Box Community, and we’ll help with your content creation and deletion issue. 

 

For the time being, try these troubleshooting steps: 

  • Are you creating a folder under the Box landing page/All Files page or you’re creating a sub-folder? If it’s the latter, please contact the folder owner to ensure you have the right permission to create and delete folders/files. 
  • If you’re having trouble creating or deleting folders you own, do the following: 

 

We would love to hear back from you and have a safe weekend ahead!
