Hi,

I have Sheets files saved in my Box. I'm able to open and edit those on my mobile device, but can't resave them to my Box. The file open in Sheets and then Sheets only allows me to save it to Drive to my device. Is there a way to keep the updated file in Box after editing on mobile?

Thanks!

Hi Matthew, 

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

Upon checking, this is currently a known limitation. You can preview Docs, Sheets, and Slides on mobile devices. As of Q4 2018, you cannot edit or open these files in Google editors. 

There is an existing feature suggestion in Box pulse (pulse.box.com) to support this however this is currently not on the roadmap. You can find the post here and if is something you would like to be able to do, I would highly recommend adding your vote and including your use case on how this will help you productivity. Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.

Regards,
