My Excel document, that has macros gets corrupted when I store them in Box. So, Box does not recommend storing Excel files at it. Can you provide me information on this?

Excel Macros Not working

Thanks for posting!
You've got to be kidding me. My excel macros have worked great using Box Sync and now suddenly Box upgrades to allow direct linking to Box without needing Sync and my macros stop working. Please tell me this has been resolved? Otherwise Box will become useless as our primary storage tool and I'll need to manually sync files back and forth.
Not sure this helps much, but we have had limited success using Macros on Excel while the file is saved on Box, however, the user is not set up with Co-authoring. We were able to use Macros when accessing via Box Drive, will need to continue testing to find the full capabilities.
