  1. File Upload Notification - Ability to set alerts to a specific managed user per folder

    File Upload can be a game changer for our company - with 1 major exception. Notifications in box seem to be all or nothing. Its overwhelming. Most of our team have them all turned off.

    We would like the ability to set a notification for file uploads - per folder - per user/s. Example: Folder named: Dr. Joe with 10 folders within it. One of the sub-folders is named "Uploads from Dr. Joe" A file request link is created and shared with the client for this sub-folder. Then, regardless of who owns the file, you can add certain managed user/s…

  3. Deliver Email Notification with the title including the actual folder on upload.

    Currently, people get email notification with the title including parent folders when uploading to multiple file even though people upload to child folder. The title makes them a bit confusion and lead to know them there is upload event on parent folder.

  5. Detailed Email Notifications

    Hi Team,

    It would be a lot better if we can receive an email notification that is more detailed unlike on what we usually received. Hopefully, You can add more information on the action that was taken that triggered that email notification.

    For example:

    Can you add more details for folders and the user what took the action on those folders.

  6. update information

    There is no information from box system when someone upload files on the box.
    I have been able to receive the information when I started to use this system, but suddenly, it can not work.

    Of course, I checked on the setting "When the files update, receive email".

  7. notification email

    Notification Email - End user self-service

    I would like to allow our managed users to update their own "Notification Email" setting. Right now it requires Admin/co-admin level access to make this change to an account.

    At least for our organization this is a user account option that we would like to delegate to the end users and allow them to edit the value in their profile.

    I realize that some organizations may want more control so ideally there would be an enterprise setting that determined whether end users can update the Notification emails value.

  8. Collaborators request for status change- notification sent to owner

    Collaborators (non-owner) can request from the owner to have their status changed (i.e. owner, co-owner). A notification will then come to the current owner with approve or deny option. Currently I am having to ask via email, phone, in person for people to change this status and they don't always remember, but as a quick notification from the email they can approve or deny the request.

  9. Email notifications should include context

    We want Box generated email notifications to include context re: the folder-level where the user was added.

    For people like our boss who wants to know what is going on with a project without having to open a folder the information provided in the email notification will have to let him know what project (folder) it is associated with.

  10. Add @mentions using enter key

    It would be nice to not have to put your cursor over the persons name and then hit enter after the name has shown. Rather, the name shows, hit enter, boom, done! No extra key strokes irritating my mouse arm!

  12. Enable Fast Push Notifications for Metadata Changes.

    Enable Fast Push Notifications for Metadata Changes.

    Nationwide is a platform customer who is customizing Box’s UI elements to support a new version of their Claim Center application. One of their usecases requires nearly instantaneous notification for metadata updates. The Event Stream is not an appropriate source because of the delay associated in parsing.

    This functionality would 100% be used by Nationwide.

  14. Turn off notification that people outside the organization can view a file when copied

    When I copy a file, I get a pop up saying people outside my organization can see it. I don't need to get that pop-up.

  15. folder notification

    Notifications about folder activity for emails who are not collaborators in the folder.

    Use case: Our end users are not allowed to access cloud data sites on our corporate network per compliance regulations thus them not being added as a collaborators. I sync the folders down to our file servers and share them creating a two-way data sync between our end users and their clients who use the website. I’ve just been asked to supply alerts when a client performs activities in shared folders but can’t do so directly because I can’t add specific email addresses to the alerts.

  16. Alert admin when users is reaching their allocated storage cap

    When allocating a maximum storage amount to a given user it would be very useful to as an admin receive an email notification when the user is approaching their limit so that the admin can proactively increase the limit to decrease any disruption to their workflows.

  17. Language selection for confrm email

    My customer request to translate to Japanese the confirm email, especialy "Please confrm the email address change for your Box account".
    Many Japanese user didn't check the confirm email, because they guessed the English email is spam mail.

  18. Multiple Pages for Filtered Notifications

    In the Web App under Notifications the filtered views (anything other than All Messages) is limited to 50 items, and you do not have the option to go to the next page.

    For example our HR department set Tasks for each employee to review their Job Description. They were hoping to be able to do away with using a spreadsheet to track emails by seeing who was left under their Sent Tasks. But they are still using the spreadsheet and manual reminders since they weren't able to access more than 50 assigned tasks to send reminder emails.
