Add Ability to Suppress Collaboration Emails via API
Hello
At Catalytic, we are deeply integrated with Box and 100% api driven. Currently when creating folders and adding collaborators via API, we are UNABLE to suppress the Box email notification.
This is causing confusions with our users as we are sending a Catalytic Branded email as well.
Please help

Ability to set reminders for approaching deadlines on task approvals
In the current version of Box Relay, you can set a deadline when assigning a task.
However, after setting a deadline for approval, it would be nice if there was a function to send a reminder X days before the specified deadline so that the approval is not overlooked.
Please add a function to send a reminder at a specified date and time before the specified deadline to prevent the approval from being overlooked.
現在のBox Relayでは、タスクを割り当てるときに期限を設けることが出来ます。
しかしながら承認期限を設定した後に、指定された期限のX日前にリマインダーを送る機能があれば、承認を見落とすことがないかと思います。
見落としによる承認未実施を防ぐためにも、指定した期限前に指定した日時でリマインダーを送る設定機能を追加ください。10 votes -
Add permissions to a folder without emailing everyone
I'd like to be able to edit permissions directly in a folder without sending and receiving a ton of emails. I have not found a way to do this - even silent mode on the admin account does not allow for this. I think the notifications within Box are sufficient to let people know their folder permissions have changed and if I want to send an email it is easier if I just send a single email outside of Box to all affected.

Notification of uploads from external users
Ability to set Notification of uploads from external users only. Essentially, want to know when an external user has uploaded a file so we don't have to constantly check specific folder to see if client (ie external user) has uploaded a file.

Ability for Reply to Box Shared Link Emails to be sent directly to sender
When using the Box's Email Shared Link, there is no bounce back email or there is no way to track or reply to the email (the address has the name of the sender with a Box no reply email address).
Request: Have email of the sender instead of the no reply box email address

Send a notification regarding document lock/unlock timing
For teams that are actively working on a single document, the lock/unlock feature is nice to prevent version control issues. However, it would be nice to have additional notifications are this feature, namely:
- "Notify me when this file is unlocked"
- "Warn me [the person who locked the file] when the file lock is about to expire"
- "Warn me [the person who locked the file] if I've left the file locked AND inactive for more than X minutes"
Etc.

Change Sender name to "Box" or "Box Updates" instead of the user's name
Collaboration Invite notification emails currently pull the inviting user’s Display Name from the Sender line and putting it in the From line. This means that while the email is coming from noreply@box.com, it still has the user’s name like the email has come from them directly.
This can cause conflicts with mail servers that flag emails based on Display Name and email origin. It would be preferable to simple have all notification emails from Box leave Box or Box Updates in the Display Name field, rather than spoofing the acting user’s name.

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.

Allow Relay notifications to include manually entered email addresses instead of limiting the list to existing collaborators
Currently the Relay system will only allow notifications to be sent to existing collaborators or users. There should be a way to allow any manually entered email address to be a notification destination. This would allow for group or shared email accounts to be a notification destination. Group email addresses or shared email accounts may not exist as specific collaborators but still could be useful for notifications.

Invite users to file request
We would like to inform our users that we have created a file request area for them. As soon as we create a file request we would like to be able to send a number of users a notification that they should upload their files there.
Currently we have to manually copy the URL into an email to inform people, which breaks the flow. We would like the same functionality we see when creating shared links.

Add "Do not notify" to "Share this folder" dialog box
When inviting users to collaborate in a folder, it would be helpful to add a check box to Not Notify the users.
Larger folders can cause a lot of noise as users are added to a folder.
There are times the collaborators may need to be removed, then re-added to a folder - this generates confusing emails.6 votes -
Notification function when a conflict occurs when editing a file
Files are locked when edited from Box Drive by users who have co-authoring enabled.
However, it takes time for the lock to take effect, which can lead to file conflicts if another user edits the file first.BoxDrive and BoxEdit normally notify you when a file conflict occurs, but unfortunately users who have enabled the collaborative editing feature do not receive the notification that a conflict has occurred.
If you want to co-edit with a user whose co-editing function is disabled, you can co-edit with Office Online if you are editing Excel or Word, but the file you want to…

Open the linked file in the notification email in Box Drive.
When we receive a notification about a folder or file, click on the link in the email and we will be redirected to your browser.
For users who mainly use Box Drive, being able to transition only to the Web is an added hassle.
We would like to be able to open files linked to in the notification email in Box Drive as well.(日本語)
通知メール内のリンク先のファイルをBox Driveで開くフォルダやファイルに関する通知を受け取った場合、メール内にあるリンクをクリックするとブラウザに遷移されます。
Box Driveを主に使っているユーザーにとってはWebにしか遷移できないないのは手間が増えます。
通知メール内のリンク先のファイルをBox Driveでも開けるようにしてください。5 votes -
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.5 votes -
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".(Japanese)

Ability to manage pop-up messages
Integrate a switch to turn off pop-up notifications (those which pop up for every single step or process).
Maybe have different levels of notifications, like for debugging ("none" to "confirm every step")
There are way too many pop-ups in Box worsening the "user-experience".
See what can happen, if you have daily several hundreds or thousands of clicks too much to do for unnecessary things like clicking away pop-up windows which notify you about things you already know you have done (like another user put it so aptly into Box community):
