Hi Chad, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

Great news! I went ahead and fixed your storage count. To verify this, log in to box.com> Account Settings> Storage Used. 

In the future, if you experience storage inaccuracies, please let us know in this forum. 

Thanks for posting!

given no firm answer (or solution) has been forthcoming, the only seemingly logical solution would be to setup around 50 individual email aliases (and corresponding box accounts) and cycle through them in order to make use of this facility. *sigh*
