I have created a master spreadsheet that needs to be used by multiple users. It has been saved in a group folder but can only be updated by the creator. We need to ensure this spreadsheet can be saved in the group folder and usable/ability to update by multiple people - how do we do this as the file says it belongs to one person.
Question
Saving an excel document that can be updated by multiple users
Hi James,
Welcome to the Box Community!
You would need an "Editor" access as a collaborator to be able to edit files saved in Box Folder.
In addition to this, if you need to be editing a file concurrently with other collaborators, you'd want to open the file using Box for Office Online or Box for Google Workspace which supports real-time editing. When multiple users edit a file at the same time using their Office desktop applications , this will create duplicates instead of updates on the original file that you guys are working on because Box for Office does no support concurrent editing.
