Not receiving collaboration email

I am not receiving the invite to collaborate on box folders from a work colleague.

  • I have checked my Spam folder, there's nothing there.
  • My email isn't blocked because I've received multiple invites in the last couple weeks from another user perfectly fine.
  • The user trying to send me the invite now has been able to invite others as well so their email is also fine.

Not sure what else the problem would be, please help!

Thanks

    Hi Jorge, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    They may have invited the wrong email address or there could a typo error with the email they sent the invitation to.

    If they've confirmed sending the invite to the correct email address, please ask them to remove and then re-invite you to their folder again, and see if that helps.

    Hi,

    They are typing the correct email address. They have also tried to remove and re-invite me and it hasn't worked. Do you have any other advice?

    Hi - 

    I'm having the same issue.  The invited collaborators are not receiving the invitation email (even though Box indicates it was sent and the status indicates "pending.")  I went through all of the troubleshooting steps and the additional steps you recommended.  Seems like this is an increasingly common concern based on the recent posts.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Has the affected user checked his spam/ junk or other email folder?

    I have a user having this same problem. Email filter checked, email, checked, folders checked. No email is being sent.
