Hello,When I install the app of Box on my windows 11 and do the steps that I need to sign in on my browser, I do it, but it doesn’t signi in on the app, it continues showing I need to sign in online. What can I do?

Hello, These support forums look bare.  I hope someone answers. Hello, Hope you are well...Here is my issue  I think there is a security policy that causes box to force a logout (to reauthenticate) on the Cloud Sync module of a Synology NAS. The problem is when that happens, there is no notification, nor option for it, to know your Cloud Sync module is no longer working.  Can someone from box.com tell me if there is a notification for this?  If not, what is box's period of time for when it will force another log out\re-authentication?  This is very important!  We recently had an issue and the Cloud Sync was logged out for days!   Thanks for your help, Regards, Diane

Hi Box Support and Community,I signed up many years ago when the free plan included 50GB of storage. I’m still on that free plan today.I would like to ask: Will legacy free plan users like me have their storage reduced to 10GB in the near future? Or will the 50GB free plan continue to be honored? I couldn't find an official update about this and would appreciate any clarification.Thank you! 

Dear Box Support Team, Hope this email finds you well.We are currently experiencing an issue when signing in to Box, which prevents access to files. Issue Description: After successfully entering the username and password on the Box sign-in page, the browser immediately displays an "Page Not Found" error message, and the user cannot access any content. Clicking on "All Files" also results in the same error. Actions Taken: We have cleared the browser cache and cookies, but the issue persists. The user's Box account permissions were completely removed and then re-invited. Upon re-invitation, a password reset was performed, and the user is able to sign in; however, the screen after sign-in consistently shows the "Page Not Found" message. Problem Details: This particular user previously had permissions for the same Box folder. These permissions were later removed. After several months, the user was re-invited to that Box folder. Although a password reset allowed successful sign-in, the

Hi Team, We are currently using Box Tool (Box Edit) and BoxForOffice. The current settings we deployed via MS Intune. “I read the news that the BoxTool and BoxForOffice are automatically updates by itself”. Yet, we didn't manage to see the application update to latest released. Thanks,Phearin 

Box tools extension can't be enabled in Safari.  The "preference" tab referenced by Box doesn't exist, and Box extension doesn't appear under extensions.  HELP, as i can't open files directly so I must download them.

I am co-owner of our site and there are two external people who have access to a folder that they should no longer be able to access. When I try to go into manage collaborators - they have a view only status but there is NO drop-down menu for me to be able to remove them.  Youo can see below - I am a co-owner (june 26th) then the two viewers in grey need to be removed but there is no drop-down menu next to their names to choose? I tried chat gpt etc. but didn’t find anything, 

is box down? the box interface is not rendering properly in microsoft edge or safari on mac

I am trying to update the owner of a folder to my Managing Director as today is my last day and I am getting the following error — how can I change the ownership?  

Several other Box users at my organization and I have noticed that SSO authentication does not work in Firefox. It yields a blank page after logging in through our organization’s login system instead of continuing with the authentication process. One of my colleagues was able to re-create this issue today by attempting to sign in to Box in Firefox (while trying to configure an Rclone remote). In the developer tools, the errorContent Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline ("default-src").is given.This authentication issue is caused by the Box site’s Content Security Policy (CSP), which blocks inline JavaScript, paired with the reliance of the SSO page on inline JavaScript. Firefox adheres strictly to the CSP, so it does not allow the script to run. Other browsers, like Chrome and Konqueror, have no such issue (likely because they ignore this part of the CSP). It's also possible to work around this issue on Firefox by runningdocument.forms[0].sub

My company has adopted BOX but can't add my existing account with my company email address to the company portal. I need help to get associated. Support said I have to open a ticket myself, but I only have access to the forum.

Is there a way to recover a folder deleted from trash?

Most of the pages in Box Admin are showing unable to load such as User and Content tabs. Account/Billing and parts of Enterprise settings are visible. I tried different browser, computers, and networks, same error. Is this an ongoing issue?

I believe Co-Owners of a folder always receive alerts about deletes on a folder regardless of the notification settings, correct? Is it possible to disable this for a particular folder? Is it possible to delete this for all folders, without disabling all email notifications for all collaborators in the Enterprise Settings? 

Hi, My account says it has reached its storage limit. I have deleted a lot from the account, and it is in no way over the limit, but still says I am.  Appreciate any help you can give.  Thanks

I have an old paid box account I would like to recover if possible - it uses an email account that I currently use with a free account. Is this possible if the account was deleted more than 2+ years ago?

Hello,I have been using Box for some time and recently noticed that I am unable to access certain audio files (.wav, .aiff, and .midi) through the iOS Files app. When I try to open these files, I receive the following error message:“Cocoa error 0 – Your device couldn't connect to the server. There may be a problem with the server or network.”Other file types, such as JPEG and PDF, open without any issues in the Files app. Additionally, I am able to open all files, including audio files, without problems using the Box app on my iPad.My device is running iPadOS 18.5, and I am using Box app version 5.42.0 (25966).Reinstalling the app fixed it 😁Sorry to bother you.
