Hi there. I’m looking for a way to download a watermarked file using the API with a viewer user.I saw the platform docs mentioning that when using a user with Viewer access level to download a watermarked file, you need to first open the file for preview and then the download becomes available. How can I do the same thing using the API instead of the UI? Is it possible to create a zip file containing this watermarked file?

Hi, i'm unable to restore file as store is full even if I deleted everything from Box. Please help to run the script. 

This is a reoccurring issue.  Could this be resolved?  I have very few files, and nothing in my trash, but my account shows its 9.8GB out of 10GB.  

Dear Box Support, Hello. Can you please run the script on my account that allows for an updated and accurate measurement of the storage being used? My account is currently counting previously deleted files (that have also been deleted from the trash) against my limit. Thank you for your help! Evan Peck

Can someone at Box support please reset my Storage. I deleted files but still show 90.6 GB out of 100GB used . Other times this has happened, support had to run a script to correct problem.

Someone shared a folder to (my) email1.I made an account using email2, + linked that acct to email1.I could see the shared folder + can still see that shared folder.BUT ... then I removed linked email1 from my account, and now I can't (re)-link to email1 again ... and actually now I cannot link to ANY OTHER EMAIL addr. (including "i just made that up" email, which can't possibly already be associated with another box account) Top-shelf (useless, opaque) err msg: "There was an error while trying to add anything@wherever.info to your account."POST https://app.box.com/app-api/enduserapp/account-settings/account/add-email{"status":400,"errorCode":"updateAccountSettingsError","data":{"error":"saveFailed"}}... I tried two different web browsers; no saved cookies; fix your app I see many "cannot link to email" support forum messages, and that free accounts are generously granted no way to directly open support tickets, so here's another "link-email (still) fails" msg.

I use Box.com for clients to upload their tax documents so I can prepare their taxes.  I'm sick of them uploading crappy jpegs of documents.  I want to restrict the file upload type to PDF only.  How do I do this?

  When trying to download a zip archive from a query parameter in url with box id, I receive the downloaded file successfully. However, it's missing the ".zip" extension in its name. For example, if the zip archive is named "downloadzip", the downloaded file should ideally be named "downloadzip.zip", but it isn't. Am I missing something? According to this article (https://developer.box.com/reference/post-zip-downloads/), it explicitly states that ".zip" is added from the Box API.public async Task<MemoryStream> GetStreamForZip(string csvFileIds)         {            var fileIds = csvFileIds.Split(',');                        var request = new BoxZipRequest            {                Name = "downloadzip",                Items = fileIds.Select(fileId => new BoxZipRequestItem                {                    Id = fileId.Trim(),                    Type = BoxZipItemType.file                }).ToList()            };            using (MemoryStream

When I set up my free account, I set it up to use my Google Sign-in as the login.  However, I'm not able to login to my desktop app.  Every time I open the desktop app and try to login, it takes me to the web to sign in on my Google account, but then once I sign in it doesn't take me back to the desktop app.    I've tried resetting my password, so I can sign in via the password... but I can't seem to get rid of the Google Account Sign-in option...

Hello,  I have seen in past posts published a few years ago that having more than 1 person editing a document at the same time is not feasible.  Is this still something that is not possible?  There are many times where we want to edit a Powerpoint with multiple people working on it at the same time. 

How much can I upload per month with an Enterprise subscription?

When I tried to access the BOX and upload it, it failed. We believe that the cause is that the network has access restrictions restricted by a firewall.Since it is not possible to open all sites, I would like to open and upload only specified sites, so please let me know the URL to use when uploading.

I have deleted all of the files in the account & trash, but the storage is not zero. And unable to upload the new files. Request to do the needful.
