Hello- Our team has box.com folders set up on our desktops. We usually open the Micorosft Excels from there. When two people are working on an Excel workbook at the same time, it starts saving copies of the workbook to the box.com folder.
Is there an efficient way to use the box to allow people to collaborate on Microsoft Excel workbooks at the same time?
Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!
Box for Microsoft Office co-authoring seems be ideal for this scenario. You can now collaborate in real-time on the Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, and Excel desktop applications — with all changes saved to Box. Users can coauthor files stored in Box on Office desktop apps or Office Online when opening the file directly from Box Drive or Box web.
You will need to reach out to your Box Admin to enable this for you and your team. To learn more about this feature, please see this Box Support article.
Thanks for posting and please let us know how else we can help!

Hi France- Appreciate the prompt response.
Are there any downsides to enabling this feature that we should be careful about? Is there an extra cost?
