Dear all

We are using BOX since a couple of months and now it happen that people are working on the same file without realizing that the other one has it open.

We are aware of the "block" function but also there if you didn't see the symbol or the "read-only" in the title you get after your changes the information that you cannot save.

Is there any way to block the access when the file is blocked? 

Thanks

Jasmin

  Hi Jasmin, 

  Welcome to the Box Community!

  We currently do not have the feature you asked about, however we have some recommendations that may help such as using the enhanced Lock/Unlock feature on Box Drive.

  To learn more about this feature, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061782454-Enabling-Enhanced-Lock-Unlock-on-Box-Drive  

  Thanks for your post and participation in the forum!

  Best,
