We are working with a company with a box account and when they send us an invite to connect to box. When we we receive the invite clicking continue leads me to a "you don't have an account" and clicking sign up leads me to a "reset password" when we click reset password no email comes from box. Can you please help resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Paul Barney

Hi Paul, 

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

I checked your profile and email for this post and it looks like you already have an existing Box account link to it,

Have you checked your spam/ junk email folder for the password reset email from Box?

Hope it helps! Thanks for reaching out and let me know if you have questions.
 
All the Best,

The people I am trying to add can establish an account. Please help

 

Thank you,
