You may be asked to submit your Box mobile app logs from your mobile device as part of the investigation for your support case. Here's how to submit Box mobile logs on your device and how to provide them to your support agent:
Note: Before submitting logs to Product Support, reproduce the issue first, and note the time and date when the issue occurs. Next, include that information in your support ticket when you confirm log submission. Knowing exactly when the behavior occurred can speed up the investigation of the issue.

If you can login
- Reproduce the issue
- Go to "Setting" -> "Send you device logs”
If you cannot login
- On the mobile device, tap on a URL like:
box-diagnosis://diagnosis?mode=d&dur=2&clean=n&tag={your_ticket_number}
(Replace{your_ticket_number}
with the id of your support ticket) - This launches/foregrounds the Box app and initiate a UX flow which allows the diagnostic-mode to begin.
