I've added the images again... sorry about that.

When you drag and drop multiple images into the uploader function, I believe it gives you an imgur.com/a/ link in the browser that you can then share around. I always have to fiddle with it to give me what I want :)

I agree with this. I also would add that the lines on the boxes look like they're repeatedly made rather than a single clean line with follow through. I also see whiteout on the rotated boxes, make sure to embrace the missed lines and learn from them. Covering up won't do much to help down the line, and will make it harder to give actionable feedback.

Take some time to get the album submission/image organization worked out before the 250 boxes as it's going to be a real pain if you do those one image at a time. I also recommend getting these in order for future submissions as it'll make it easier to provide feedback in the future to let you progress.
For the organic perspective you shouldn't feel bad about drawing through the shapes, and it looks like the vanishing points are going towards the viewer rather than away, make sure to pay attention to the orientation and direction of the vanishing point as you move into the 250 box exercise.
Your linework otherwise looks good and patient, keep up the clean look moving forward.
Next Steps:
Proceed to the 250 box challenge and pay special attention to the direction of the vanishing points when going through the instruction for guideline placement. There is some supplemental materials on the discord as well after you've had a chance to do a few for yourself.

It looks like the imgur link might have been taken down, I see no images here to critique. It's probably necessary to re-upload the images.
Next Steps:
Re-upload the images for community critique.

In the ghosted planes I see parts that look like there was some corrections done when the line didn't end at the intended place, embrace those misses and move on, don't try to correct with extra lines.
In the ellipses I see many that look like they weren't drawn through completely, don't be afraid to go a third time if necessary to ensure you've gotten through the whole form.
In the funnels it appears that some of these didn't have an ellipse in the actual center of the funnel, make sure you're reading through the material carefully to best understand the instructions. They are tightly packed and looking good otherwise.
The boxes look to be in the right direction as far as angle and foreshortening, but remember to take your time with each line as it's own unit of work, ghost through the line and draw with your shoulder. Some look like they have some arc that might be coming from the elbow or wobble that comes from the wrist correcting itself.
Next Steps:
I think you should be good to proceed to the 250 box challenge next. Make sure to warm up with more ghosted planes and AFTER you've done a few boxes in the challenge and re-reviewed the core material, look at the supplementary material for identifying your foreshortening angles either in the discord or here:
Additional checks to validate the foreshortening of the boxes:

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
