I am unable to upload files to a folder i was invited to.  I tried creating my own folder and still am unable to upload files.  

Hi Victoria, 


Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!


It sounds like you do not have the necessary permission as a collaborator to upload in the folder you joined.


In order to upload in a collaborative folder, you must be granted any of the following permission levels:


  • Co-owner

  • Editor

  • Viewer Uploader

  • Previewer Uploader

  • Uploader

To learn more about these permissions, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels


Thanks for posting and let us know how else we can help!


All the Best, 


I have Viewer Uploader permissions (see below) so that is not the problem.  BOX2_oXhbZYSvsZNk_h6ArcPGMQ.png


Hi Victoria, 


Do you encounter a specific error when you tried uploading?


Can you shared a screenshot of your workflow so we can take a closer look?


Looking forward to hear from you!


I always get the below message when I try to upload anything.  I even tried to create my own folder to upload and still got the same message:BOX2_lLwbecHMtSfRmzeUr0NfwQ.png


Hey, Victoria!


Can you reach out to the owner of the folder and ask if they can remove and then re-invite you to their folder again and see if that helps resolve this for you?


Let me know how it goes and if you have questions!


Best,
