Support Forum

I have been a Box user for years. I use it for personal files (family photos) and for work (folders shared with me by others).  As of this evening, everything is missing -- my account shows 0B of 10GB Used.  Yet there is no logged activity.  There are no files or folders in the Trash.  No shared folders have been unshared with me (I have checked with the owners).  The account is associated with a personal email address and there are no notifications of access or changes. Resetting a password and logging in using different browsers had no effect.    I have already evaluated the standard responses for how to troubleshoot.  This does not seem to be a standard issue -- my account has been completely and suddenly wiped.  I would appreciate help. 

I have a google gsuite account and my email address has changed.  When I try to login to my box.com account, I get an error saying I need to use the old email address which is no longer possible. How can i fix this or delete the account so i can start over?

Hello,  I need to change the primary email on my account as it is no longer in exsistance. I’ve gone through all the tutorials and when I click on my icon in the top right there is no “settings” option. I do have a secondary email that I’ve been using, but I’d like to update the primary. This has been an issue for over a year and I can’t get resolution. It should not be this hard.

I’m building a Power Automate flow that saves incoming email text and attachments to Box. The flow works when I point “Create file” directly at my Invoices folder, but when I try to save into a client-specific subfolder (e.g. Invoices/<ClientName>), the action fails with the error “Only admins can create folders in the root due to enterprise security settings.” The client folders already exist in Box, so I don’t want to create anything new—just upload into them. It looks like Power Automate is interpreting my dynamic folder path as a root path instead of using the existing subfolder. I need guidance on how to reliably target existing client subfolders by variable without triggering root-folder creation errors.

I am in need of support on setting up Box with Google. I had my tech set up and it is not working properly and we have several questions. Ideally I would like a consultant that can get online and walk us through the final set up. Please advise. 

I am attempting to submit a help ticket but cannot find where to do so on Box's website anywhere. I need technical support with my organization's enterprise purchase of Box...

Hello,We are currently using the Box Business plan (JPY 1,881/month). I understand that inviting external collaborators is not available on this plan.However, we would like to share certain folders or files with external users so that they can view and download the content. Could you please confirm the correct way to configure the sharing link settings to allow external users to access files in this way?Thank you in advance for your guidance.Best regards,

Why can’t I toggle on  “Expire link” when creating a shared link to send to somebody? I’ve tried all the different share options shown above the expire link option and none of them enable me to toggle on the expire link option.  (I am the account owner of this account and of the folder/files I’m trying to do this on)

When using a public link to share a file, Box.com generates a URL with '/s/' in it, and an expiration date can be set for the link. However, once the link expires, even the file owner may have difficulty recalling the original file. Is there a way to recover the original link from the expired address? I know we cannot generate the same link again, but I want to access the original file myself as an owner.

Hi support, I have files which I uploaded to box, but when i log into box it shows i have no files on my account. but when i open my old sharing links i can see that they are still accessible. i can see them but not download them, and instead of them saying i am the author it is saying “ a prior collaborator” and the owner is box admin. Can u fix this?

I’m trying to change from monthly to annual. When I search, it sends me to the user forum with links back to the user forum. It’s a loop. Is there any way to get support from Box? It doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult. Thanks
