  1. Allowing Admins to Edit Multiple Users' Notification Settings at the Same Time

    It would be great if we could change multiple External Users' email notification settings at the same time.

  2. Prevent duplicate compliance emails

    The ability to archive compliance emails helps us comply with our company's email archiving policy.
    However, due to known issues with Box's notification service, compliance emails often arrive in duplicate or never arrive.
    This issue will be resolved when the Box notification service is migrated to a new one, but compliance emails are more important than other notifications and waiting for the notification service to migrate would take too long and have too great a business impact.
    Please fix this issue as soon as possible in order to ensure governance.

    コンプライアンスメールが重複して届かないようにしてほしい

    コンプライアンスメールをアーカイブする機能は、会社のメールアーカイブポリシーを遵守するのに役立っています。
    しかし、Box通知サービスの既知の問題が原因で、コンプライアンスメールはしばしば重複して届いたり、もしくは届かなかったりすることがあります。
    この問題は、新しい通知サービスへの移行完了によって解決される予定ですが、コンプライアンスメールは他の通知と比べても重要性が高く、
    通知サービスの移行を待っているのでは時間がかかりすぎるし、ビジネスインパクトがあまりにも大きいです。
    ガバナンスを確保するためにも、この問題をできる限り早く解決してください。

  3. administrator notification

    Email notification to BOX administrators when an issue is known within BOX. This would help administrators be proactive on BOX issues with users to prevent multiple calls, emails, tickets, etc. from being generated creating much unneeded noise.

  4. Account based folder notification settings

    We would like to allow each collaborator to configure their own folder notification settings for each folder. Currently, all collaborators must use the same email notification settings designated by an owner or co-owner.

    Some collaborators may be waiting on file uploads or downloads and want an email notification, but other collaborators may not want the noise in their inbox. The "override defaults" option in folder settings should only apply to the currently logged in user account.

  5. Setting to be notified when a specific file, folder, or note is modified.

    We have a team that needs to be notified when a Note is modified. They are using comments to achieve this. It would be a great setting option to receive notifications on modifications to a specific file, folder or note.
    Please let me know if there is a solution for this that I am not aware of.

  6. The notice for email when a folder is locked by LFO.

    Folders may be locked in LFO.
    The problem is recognized only when the user manipulates the folder or file.
    If the problem is not detected as soon as it occurs, it will affect business operations.
    Please notify us via email when a folder is locked by LFO.

    【LFOでフォルダがロックされた際のメール通知】
    LFOでフォルダがロックされることがあります。
    ユーザーがフォルダやファイルの操作を行うときにはじめて問題を認識します。
    問題が発生してすぐに検知できないと業務に影響があります。
    LFOでフォルダにロックがかかったときにメールで通知してください。

  7. Notify user immediately when a file is updated or uploaded.

    We would like the functions or API commands to notify user immediately when a file on the Box is updated or uploaded.
    We would like to be able to trigger the next process on file updates, so we would like the ability to be notified each time an update is made, rather than a periodic notification.

  8. Notification text update

    Remove images from notifications and limit text size to no more than 12 point. Current images and excessively large text make previewing of notifications impossible.

  9. Notification email format

    Notifications should include file path or as much of the path the user receiving the notification is authorized for, not just file name and operation (download, upload new verion).

  10. Turn off document update and refresh notification

    When a document is uploaded, a semi-permanent notification box appears in Box, preventing me from opening another document or doing anything else in Box. My only options are to click the options in the notification or to use one of my browser's navigation options (back, refresh, etc.). The extra clicks really slows down my workflow when I am updating and working on multiple documents in one folder.

    Please allow us to turn off these updated document notifications.

  11. Notifications not sent when Viewer downloads watermarked file

    Notifications do not get sent when a Viewer downloads a watermarked file.

    I understand that the notification engine is getting replaced/upgraded, and I hope this gets fixed in the next generation.

    This function is important to Enterprise users trying to keep track of downloads by low-permissions users.

  12. Downloading from a Shared Link has a confusing UX message (Modal)

    The "Download in Progress" modal window displays only a "Signup" and "Log In" buttons when downloading files from a shared link. Those buttons and the fact that the modal window must be manually closed even after the download is complete is poor UX and confuses users into thinking they must create an account to successfully download images.

    Our IT department receives multiple tickets from confused users.

  13. RELAY Notifications

    Relay can alert on new collaborators to a folder. Relay cannot distinguish external vs managed user. It would be a plus if on certain folders you can choose to ignore if the collaborator is a managed user. So only alerts for external collaborators get sent.

  15. A dedicated notifications page to allow viewing of past notifications

    I would like a page where all notifications live historically. Right now I am forced to use a small dropdown which is clumsy and not searchable.

    I use notifications to find files that I was added to in the past but not recently enough to appear on recents page.

    the ipad app has a page similar to what I am talking about except it doesnt go back far enough

  16. Allow users to click outside of the Refresh File pop-up box without having to click Cancel or Ok

    Currently you can't do anything on the screen without clicking one of the options on the Refresh File pop-up box that appears after editing. 90% of the time, I'm trying to leave that screen and I don't need to see the updated version because I just edited it. If that box could disappear if I click anywhere on the screen, that would be ideal.

  18. Ability to use HTML tags in the email signature field of the system.

    Please make HTML tags available in [Management Console > Enterprise Settings > System Email Signatures].
    The use of bold text and colors will make it easier to understand the contents of the "System Email Signature".

  19. Email invitation notifications sent to users who do not have a Box account

    Please display the "system email signature" text in the invitation email sent when inviting a user who does not have a Box account.

    Also, by specifying company-specific text, users of business partners can be assured when…

    PLEASE give me option to turn off notifications for a specific file or folder.

    Commented on a file, and now I'm getting swamped by notifications.

    I'd like to mute notifications on this specific thread, similar to what I can do in FB or Slack.
