Hi,

I have a box account with shared folders where clients are uploading documents and I have editor privileges. However since the beginning of this week, I am unable to open or download any document saved in the folders.

Your support on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Sokhna, 

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

If you are encountering problems downloading files from your Box account, we recommend you try

  • Updating your browser to the latest version
  • Clearing your browser's cache
  • Using Box with an alternate browser, computer or network
  • Temporarily disabling any internet security/firewall programs to test whether they conflict with Box (note: you may need clearance/assistance from your organization’s IT department/helpdesk to do this)
  • Disabling any plugins on your browser

If none of the above resolve the issue for you, can you let us know what exactly happens when you try downloading files from the shared folder? Do you encounter a specific error message, if yes can you share it here so we can take a closer look?

You may also find more troubleshooting tips in this article on commons issues when downloading files in Box: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196153-Common-Issues-with-Downloading-Files

All the Best,
