On app.box.com I click "Open this file on your computer". A few seconds later, I see a message saying that I don't have the right to open it on my computer. I have the latest version of BoxTools installed on my computer. I've tried to reinstall the application, but it didn't help. What do I do?

    Hi Evgeny, 

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

    May we know what collaborator permission do you have on this file? Are you the owner, an editor or viewer?

    Also, can you send us a screenshot of the message that you encounter so we can take a closer look?

    Looking forward to hear from you!

    Best,

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out. 

    I'm a viewer. 

    I'm attaching a screenshot. The message is in Russian (I'm using a Russian version of Windows 10), here's the exact translation:

    "Can't open. You don't have enough rights to open the file. Contact the owner of the file and request access".

    I'd be grateful for any help.BOX2_Iu2uLipbvK-x3iVvpiGk9Q.png
