I am trying to link a personal email address to my Box account.First, I tried to add an email address that is not registered with any Box account. However, the verification email I received was broken and the HTML was not displayed properly, so I could not click the verification button or complete the verification process.I then removed that email address and tried to add a different one, but I received an error while adding it to my Box account.I have already tried the following:using an email address that is not registered with any Box account clearing browser cache using incognito/private mode trying a different email addressThe issue still persists.Could you please check whether there is any delay before a removed email address is fully released, or whether my account is in an inconsistent state?Please also let me know how I can successfully complete the email linking process.

When I go to "Save a Copy" of my Word or Excel documents that I opened in Box... there are no options to save as a PDF... just gives a couple of basic options. See the screenshot below. I can go and browse and find the location again and through that method I can get the right options, but just the basic... save a copy... it doesn't exist. This works on my Mac as expected and works if I am using OneDrive... but for some reason I can't get it to work on Windows using Box.  

Hello,  I am trying to give access to some of our external files to a grant holder, however they are unable to access BOX. She can receive the shared links, however when she opens the links they only lead to a blank page that looks 80% loaded.  I have tried getting her access other ways, however she is unable to get past the 80%. She was able to log in using a  colleagues log in, but that has since started doing the same issue.    I have looked everywhere for a phone number or a support email to be able to address this and cant find one anywhere. 

I would like to upgrade my Box account, but I am unable to do so. The following message appears:"An error occurred while processing your request.Additional authentication is required for your account.Please submit a ticket at support.box.com." 

I see this is a commonly reported problem. Please run the script. Thanks

I have a box account that I want to add an email address to. It previously had its own account that I deleted but when I try to add the old email, it says the old email has an existing account (I checked and the account is already closed). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

When I create a Word document, I want to save it.  My libraries listed are Google Drive, which I abhor, Downloads, One Drive, and Google Drive Stream. I want to see Box listed there.  I cannot seem to find a Box app to download, although I have seen Box Sync, which I read is outdated; I have seen Box for Office, I have seen Box Tools. I use Box as an integration with legal software CLIO. Help, I just want to get all my documents organized.   Keith Liberman

I need a new email verification link because it says mine has expired. Thanks

Hello! My Box account indicates that the capacity is full, but it is not and the synchronizing has stopped. Is there a solution to fix this frequently reported Box problem? Thank you in advance.

Windows 11. Box Drive stopped working with no error messages. Tried to uninstall program at Control Panel but error message claims that it can't locate installation file "Box.2.49.257.msi.” Search of C: drive cannot find file. Tried to reinstall Box Drive but received same error message. How do I completely remove and reinstall Box Drive under these circumstances?

Hi. When I try to log in to Box, it tells me my password has expired and I need to reset it. I clicked the link sent to my email to reset, successfully changed it, but then it takes me right back to the reset password screen and will not allow me to log in using the new password. This has happened multiple times. I’ve also tried going back to the home page and clicking log in again, but it takes me back to the reset password screen. Can you please assist?

I am the Admin on my company’s box account. My members regularly share folders externally. Suddenly we are getting a message that says “Invitations could not be sent … because external collaboration is restricted” As the Admin nothing has been changed or updated to stop collaboration externally. What could be causing this?

After opening Box Drive, I am prompted with a window titled "Login to Box Drive" so I click Log In to open browser to complete login. I type my email address and it recognizes I have a Google Account so I select the Google Account and it processes then opens "Login to Box Drive" again. It's an endless loop preventing me from learning anything on the platform. Please help.

Not asking a question bc its been asked here a thousands times and no one ever answers. BOX is impossible to organize the folders. We are petitioning our university to stop using box, you all should do the same with your organizations.

We have a business plus plan that has unlimited storage and had no issue until today. It says it was updated today and now we only have 5.3TB. Please fix

Hi, I have purchased the Unlimited Business Plan and have been uploading a significant amount of work files. However, I am now receiving a message that says "storage limit reached." As I understand it, I have unlimited storage with this plan. I am uploading my data from a Synology NAS server, and it is currently showing "your public cloud quota reached." I experienced the same issue last month, which prevented me from uploading anything from both the site and the server. With the start of the new month, the issue persists. My uploading work is pending, and I need this issue resolved as soon as possible.

We are new to Box and our plan was to roll this out to users and we are stuck at the first stage on configuring the SSO and i want to disable and restart but unable to see any option to disable the sso. Not able to fund a document to complete the SSO with Azure 

I am using box web to organize project files and folders but they need to be sorted by name by default. However, Box arranges them by date, and there is no option to change the default sort by name. Can anyone help me if any work around or actual setting available somewhere ? Thanks
