Hi Rene, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

You're likely to get an error while adding a personal free user. This serves as a reminder that you're adding an existing Box user. 

Here's what you can do. 

  • Continue to add the user, and when this error appears, "1 user failed to be added", ignore the error message and press the Save button again. Saving a second time will begin the invitation process.

For more details, please see this article. 

Thanks for posting!
