I can't seem to upload in box drive. I get a failure to upload when i try. I have restarted my computer and it still gives me a failure to upload to my box drive. 

All of a sudden, I’m unable to preview any files or download anything. The file will take a few minutes to load, then will say, “We’re sorry. We ran into a problem completing your request. Please try that again in a few minutes.” But when I try to download said file, nothing happens. I’ve cleared my cache, etc. multiple times, updated my browser, tried other browsers, etc. and nothing is working. How can I fix this so I can continue working? This is so stressful!

Hi there,  We are unable to view or download the files. It comes up with error message  "We’re sorry, the preview didn’t load. This document may be protected." This keeps happening, even after problem seems to be resolved.   

I have been trying to do this for quite some time with no success.  I even made the file size smaller with no success. Please advise.

Support services? Never heard of it. You're on your own. Don't have hours to troubleshoot a Box problem? Tough. File a ticket? Haha. You must be joking. We don't offer that. Seriously.

Is box sign available for mobile? i cant seem to find it when using the mobile app

Hello I have an external Box User who has lost access to the MFA that was set up for their account and has no access to their Box Backup codes.  Is there anything that can be done on Box to resolve this?  

My user created an account with his work email address.  He then deleted his account, but I still get the message "Email already used in a Box account but not associated with an enterprise". Is there a solution?  A previous post mentions converting Unmanaged Users, but that is not my case, they don't show up as unmanaged users. 

I’ve found that if you duplicate a locked Keynote to a new folder, the new file is Read Only, but the UI says it is unlocked.  You must lock then unlocked the new file.  Expected behavior: The new file should not be inheriting the lock from source file.  Version 2.45.185

I am with Amazon. We just had an Executive Briefing with my customer. The customer CTO requested that we send them the presentation decks from our EBC.  I just uploaded all decks to a folder with my customers name in it. Now, I need to create SEPARATE links that allow for the CTO and VP Executives to simply click the link and go straight to the file, without having to create a BOX account. I need to make it as easy as possible and hassle-free to access the slide decks. How do I create these links? What settings do I use? From the Videos I am seeing online, I have to add their email addresses to the folder. Is this correct? If I do so, Box sends them a notification they've been added to the folder. I do not want this. I want to attach the specific links to my follow-up summary and allow them to access the links to each presentation individually. I need help urgently as I have a deadline on this request from the CTO and I am delayed.

I accidentally replace a folder today. How do I recover my previous folder?

Good morning,  Each month when I try to upload the file in box for my organization, I am receiving the attached error. I have tried dragging and dropping but still get the same error. I have tried in chrome, edge and even cleared my cache/cookies. Other's within my organization are able to upload the same file stored in a shared location just fine. Please help!Thank youJenn OKane

Our organization has set up 3 separate relay workflows that are based on actions taken in three individual folders within one parent folder. The entire organization has access to the parent folder, and then each staff member uses the workflow based on one of the 3 separate folders within that parent folder. The workflows are set up to notify the workflow starter, the approver, and someone assigned a general task, however, many in the organization are getting notifications about actions taken in all of the subfolders, even when they are not the workflow starter, the approver, or have a task assigned to them. I am wondering if I override the notification settings for the parent folder and disable them, will the workflow starter, approver, and someone assigned a general task still get the desired notifications based on the relay workflow? Or does disabling in the parent folder override the notifications set up in the relay workflow?

I had a workflow that when an invoice was approved it automatically moved to a different folder.  That appears to no longer be working.  Suggestions?

I tried to log into Box on Chrome and was met with an “Update your password” message.  I clicked the box and received my email.  That link launched on Edge and I updated my password.  Now everything is fine on Edge.Now I’m back on Chrome wanting to login with my new password but my only option is to update my password again.  Where is the basic login screen so I can use the password I just set??  I ended up resetting my password AGAIN while on Chrome and it was accepted but when I try to log in on Chrome with that new password I get prompted AGAIN to reset my password.  I popped over to Edge and was easily able to login with the newnew password.  What is wrong that I cannot log in on Chrome??

Hi,I’m unable to view or download any files on box.com. I have already followed the steps in Box community for this type of issue but the problem persists. I have also contacted my organization’s IT about the issue and they’ve assured me that nothing is blocking the files.I can use other clouds similar to box and download files from them. So the issues is strictly with box.com. Can you help me?

Hello - I have a single folder in my Trash and no data stored anywhere else in Box.  The folder is 0.9 GB over the limit for my free account.  I can not open the folder to find and download or delete data in order to restore the rest of the files into the account.  What can I do?

Afternoon!  I am trying to create an account for one of the attorneys I work for that was sent records from GEICO.  He doesn’t have an account and we have no way of obtaining the records or contacting the sender.  Thank you for your time!

I am using Enterprise Box and have shared a folder with ~70 emails, a mix of internal email accounts and external email accounts. There has been a mix of access availability. Attached is the error message they see. Error message  Here are the Box folder settings - I have chosen “People in your company”, which based on the description should mean that both internal emails (invited or not) and invited external emails should access my folder:Share link access details 

I've invited about 7-8 people to collaborate on a project, uploading and downloading files. About 1/2 are internal to my organization, the others external. Only two have been able to access the shared folder, one external contact and one internal. A blocked internal teammate invited said the message from Box said she wasn't a "collaborator". An external invited guest got an error message. How do I fix this?
