I am the owner of a folder and when i try to share that folder and "Invite People", from within the same enterprise that i am i get the following error message :

"

Invitations could not be sent to the following people because external collaboration is restricted by either you or their enterprise

"

This is an internal collaboration that is blocked

    Hi Vasile

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

    Can you please check the "Settings" of the folder you are inviting this user to and see if "Restrict collaboration" is enabled?

    • Find the folder you are inviting this user to
    • Then, go to the Folder settings (click "More options" and choose "Settings")
    • See if "Restrict collaboration to within (company)" is enabled under "Collaboration".

    The settings should look something like as what is described in this: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696014-Understanding-Box-Folder-Settings#inviterestrict 

    Once you have confirmed if the restriction is on, you need to disable it then click the Save button to be able to add the collaborator in the content.

    Let me know how it goes and if you have questions!

    All the Best,

    I was having the exact same issue and followed the instructions posted above.  It still did not resolve the issue.  Is there something else to try?
