Default For those of you who have Box installed...

I have the Box (online storage) app installed, but whenever I go to open an email (anything that would normally launch the Gmail app) I get the option to select weather to open Gmail or Box....I tic the box to always open Gmail, however every time I am always presented with those same two options.

Does anyone else have this issue?

thanks,
Mike

Assuming you are talking about Dropbox, i have it installed and havent seen any issues with being prompted for that instead of Gmail.

no box. 50 gigs of free online storage.

https://www.box.com/

EDIT: It used to be 50 gigs free...I have 50. now they must have dropped it down to 5.

I have Box with the 50GB (was a promotional offer) installed and no, I don't have this problem at all using the Gmail app for all of my email.

Not much help I know, but maybe you could clear user data for both and see if that helps.

The option "Enable uploading from other apps" in settings causes the problem you are describing.

The system also fails to recognize your default setting.

To remedy this for the mean time, disable that option.

1) Open Box
2) goto Settings
3) uncheck "Enable uploading from other apps"

the above worked for me.
