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

I do not see watermark option from the more actions. And no active watermarking menu at Contet&Sharing section. Is there anyone who can help me out on this topic? Thanks!

Hi Box Admin Team,I’m reaching out for assistance with organizing my files in Box. Currently, I have a large number of shared documents and folders scattered across various locations, making it difficult to find what I need when I need it.I tried creating a personal folder to consolidate these files, but I keep receiving error messages. I suspect this is because the files are shared and I don't have the necessary permissions to move them. Since I cannot move these items directly, could you please advise on the best way to organize these scattered shared files for my own ease of use?Thank you for your help!

I’m trying to add a co-admin, but I’m getting this error: “Co-admin roles must be part of a verified domain. If you want to provide an exception for your co-admins, submit a request to product support.” Is this how I submit a request to product support?

I'd like to reduce my licenses from 7 to3.(also cancel payment or refund, if possible)I had added them by mistake.Is there any way to do it? 

Box is no longer available in my file folders. When I restart my computer, it prompts me to sign into box, then has a variety of errors (Box has encountered an issue that requires a reset… NEXT Box Drive has encountered a problem that requires you to manually reset… NEXT: Cannot run the command that they are asking me to, as it is not recognized.). I have attempted to uninstall box and start again, but this is not possible with my windows uninstaller or with an external uninstalling app. 

Business Plus Plan says storage is unlimited but I seemed to have reached a limit and can no longer upload. 

I’m having trouble signing in to Box (free version) using my company email address.Although our company does not use Box, we receive and share documents with a customer via Box, so I need to be able to log in.However, I’m not sure about the two-factor authentication (2FA) settings for my account, and I believe this is preventing me from signing in. Could you please advise how I can complete the login process, especially regarding 2FA?Please note that I prefer not to include my company email address here. If necessary, I can share it privately in direct communication with support.

How do I get Box to sync with File Explorer on Windows 10? It worked fine on my old laptop but cannot get Box to appear in File Explorer on my new laptop.

Please put the X/Close button back. I do not like having to hit the back button and now that you’ve changed the interface my productivity is going to take a nose dive until I can navigate what has now erased 4 years of knowing exactly where things are and not having to think about where I need to go to do what or how to get to what!

I am assisting one of my users and we have downloaded Box tools and enabled it via safari; however, Box is not recognizing it as enabled. We have installed and uninstalled three separate times, as well as restarted the company. How do we fix this issue as the user needs to operate in box tools vice the online forum.

I hope this finds everyone well. I am attempting to share to a gov email address [removed by moderator] and I get an error message once I hit share that it is a webpage when it is obviously an email address. Please help. I need to resolve this as soon as possible. Thank You

I purchased a bluetooth shutter remote for my iPhone.  Using the camera, the remote sends volume button presses to take a picture and that works fine.  In the box app, pressing the button only adjusts the volume and doesn’t take a picture. I’ve googled and the only solution I have tried is adjusting the “change with buttons” setting under Sounds & Haptics.  That just changed where the volume indicator is displayed within box app - to the side instead of across the top of the app.  Is there a shutter remote that works with Box to capture media that doesn’t send volume signals?

Hello,I’m trying to recover some deleted files (mainly photos) from my Box account. I’m about to switch to a paying account.  I have already checked the “trash” but I was unable to restore anything. Could you please let me know if there is any way to recover these files, or to access previous versions or history that might help retrieve them? I saw that there’s a 14-day grace period for paying users (which I’m about to become if I can recover my files). Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards,Fred

I am trying to share files and just upload and every time i try on multiple browsers it will not accept the file, please help.  

I am not able to reset my password because I do not remember my current password. I need a stronger password in order to accept files from my employer Box folder.

Keep getting this error: "The account this folder belongs to has run out of space." I’ve upgraded my plan to unlimited storage, but that didn’t fix it. Files still won’t upload. Can anyone help?
