I saw a community post but is there any way to confirm that Box will not do anything about files they flag and send a message saying the file is a virus? I was told no by someone but just wanted to confirm, I know the files aren't a virus because it's a direct output of data that our user entered and the files were created off of that data, I trust the program.

    Hi Steven, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    It is up to the Enterprise to decide if the threat is valid or not. I recommend leveraging the Alert Summary and Threat Details that appear in alert details page to be able to decide the validity of the detection. Box Support does not have a way to determine if the file was possibly flagged as a false positive.

    I recommend reviewing out community articles Using Threat Detection and Box Shield Malware Deep Scan on best practices for leveraging Shield in your Enterprise.

    Do let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

    Thank you for posting!

    Best,
    Ann

    Ok, thanks. I mainly wanted to make sure someone on Box's side wouldn't touch our files. I talked to someone on our side and they indicated that we wouldn't take action on the files either.
