It offers subscription plans for individuals and businesses, plus a 14-day free trial for new users.
Primary uses

Box is often used by businesses for centralised content management and access control.
How to cancel Box
Administrator cancellation (Business/Enterprise)
- Sign in as the account administrator.
- Open Admin Console → Account & Billing → Cancel Account → Permanently Cancel My Account.
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current service term and a confirmation email is sent to the administrator.
- See the official community guidance: How do I cancel subscription?
Standard users and trial accounts
- If you are not an administrator, request the account administrator to cancel on your behalf.
- For regular subscriptions, cancel at least 30 days before renewal to avoid charges.
- For a 14-day trial, cancel before the end of day 14 to prevent automatic conversion to paid status.
- Refer to refund and billing policy: Requesting a Refund
What happens when you cancel
Access and features
After cancellation is submitted by an administrator, services remain active until the end of the paid service term.
You retain access to features through the paid period; features are not removed immediately upon initiating cancellation.
Billing and renewal
Automatic renewal will be stopped if cancellation is processed in time, but charges already billed for the current term are generally not refunded.
If you miss the required cancellation window (typically 30 days), you may be charged for the next term.
Data and retention
Files and account data typically remain available until the service term ends; you should export or download important data before that date.
Contractual or managed-retention rules may affect how long data is preserved after cancellation.
Will I get a refund?
Standard policy
Box states that services are prepaid for the selected period (monthly, yearly, etc.) and are generally non-refundable.
Renewed accounts and prepayments are subject to the same non-refundable rule except where Box specifically permits refunds.
Exceptions and requesting a refund
- If eligible, you can request a refund for renewal charges by submitting a support case to Box Billing Team.
- Early termination of a contract does not automatically entitle you to a refund; contractual terms apply.
- Exceptional arrangements may be possible by contacting [email protected] or via Box support as outlined in the help article: Requesting a Refund

Common mistakes
Missing cancellation windows
Failing to cancel a subscription at least 30 days before renewal can lead to unexpected charges for the next term.
Trial users who do not cancel before day 14 will be converted to paid accounts automatically.
Incorrect account privileges
Standard users attempting to cancel a Business or Enterprise account without administrator rights will be unable to complete the cancellation.
Always verify who the account administrator is before starting the cancellation process.
