Box support on Internet Explorer (IE) Browser Versions 9 and 10
Box ended browser support of IE versions 9 and 10 and they do not support compatibility mode for any of the unsupported browsers. It is Box policy to support only the two latest browser versions and with Microsoft pulling support for IE 9 and 10 as of 1/12/2016 on the Windows operating systems that Box supports – Windows 7, Windows 8 (64-bit only) and Windows 10, Box will no longer support these older versions.
Users who try to access Box, including Box Notes, on either of these unsupported browsers (including on the associated compatibility modes for these browsers and/or if IE11 is manually set to run as IE9 or IE10) will be blocked entirely from Box until they have upgraded to a supported browser. This will happen in early May 2017
Total Previews and Downloads in End User File Access Stats
In summer 2017, Box will launch the ability for end-users to export up to seven years of file-level access stats. When exporting seven years of file-level access stats launches, Box will simultaneously change the visible total file preview and download calculations to only include the last 100 events in the last year.

Folder Invitation Links
Folder Invitation links (see screenshot below) which can be found under folder settings will stop being supported in early May 2017. At that time, the folder invitation link will disappear from the folder settings page and existing folder invitation links will stop working.
Users will be able to achieve similar functionality with shared links. Shared links can be used as invitation links by enabling the setting “Allow anyone who can access this folder from a shared link to join as a collaborator” on the folder settings page (see screenshot below). Users that have shared folder invitation links outside of OSU’s Box, they should replace them with shared links with this setting enabled before early May 2017.
