  1. Ability to turn off all suggestion notifications

    give me an option to turn off all suggestions for feature exploration. I'm only here to access files and do not care about whatever features are available; making me click 'maybe another time' rather than providing a 'i never want to see a notification like this ever again' option big thumbs down.

  2. word comment email

    We wanted Box to send an email notification to a specific collaborator when we comment in Word Online using Word's comment feature. It would be nice if the email includes the link to the comment in the Word Document.

  3. Include owner of the relevant file in the notification e-mail when the collaboration is terminated.

    Currently, the following information is included in notification e-mails when a collaboration is canceled. 
    "There is one collaborator to be removed-[name] - [folder name] - [date to be removed]."

    The current notification email has no information about who the collaborator is.
    Please include the owner's information in the notification email so that we can contact the owner.

  4. Send an alert email to co-owners for folders below the second tier as well.

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755
    According to the URL above,
    "Box sends email notifications to the owner and any co-owners of the corresponding folder. Box only notifies co-owners who are directly collaborating on items with a pending expiration. Box does not notify co-owners who are collaborating via inherited permissions."

    We would like Box to send alert emails to co-owners for folders (files) in the second tier and below.

  7. Reduce the number of hyperlinks in New Share Email Notifications sent to 3rd parties, to reduce likelihood of emails going to Spam

    A number of times, when a Box folder has been shared to someone outside our organisation, the end-user does not appear to receive the email notification. Only later is it discovered in their Email Spam folder.

    It is noted that there are a large number of hyperlinks in these emails.

    Can developers reduce the quantity of hyperlinks in the emails (other than the link to the new share), to reduce the likelihood that the email goes to Spam

  9. Ability to change the URL of the notification email to a URL for each tenant.

    I would like to be able to change the URL of the notification email to a URL for each tenant.

    In the notification email, click on "Go to My Account" to go to https://box.com.
    I would like to be able to change this URL to a per-tenant URL. Example: https://[company name].ent.box.com
    Currently, if you are using SSO login or if your firewall controls access by domain, the user accessing the site must manually change the URL.
    It takes a lot of man-hours for a user who receives a notification e-mail to follow the above procedure every time, and there…

  11. notifications

    From an end user perspective; it would be nice to have this as an option to select while sending a collaboration invite. Collaboration owner will be given an option to select an “email template” a default template or a customized template. User will have an option to create and store few templates under his/her account profile which will be visible when they click on the “select a notification email template”.

  12. When a folder is moved to another folder, user would like to receive a notification when the folder is moved from the folder settings.

    I would like to receive notifications in the following three cases.

    1. Notification when a user is moved to another folder. (Reason: Because there are many cases where other users are moved by mistake and there is no way to immediately confirm the move.)

    2. Notification when an error occurs while moving an item. (Reason: To be able to determine the situation in which the move failed so that the next action can be taken more easily.)

    3.Notification after the move is completed. (Reason: To be able to confirm that the move is complete, so that it can be judged that the…

  13. Large Folder Operation email notification when the operation is finished

    We're actively considering several initiatives to increase visibility around large folder operations, including notification mechanisms to track the status of such operations.


    Please continue to share your feedback to help us prioritise this idea.

  14. Request early resolution of notification issues

    From a file stored in Box, commenting with @mention does not send a notification email to the mentee, or the email is delayed.
    According to the following article, the notification service is being updated, and we would appreciate an immediate remedy.
    Notification emails are not being sent or delayed, which is affecting our operations.
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417769636371

    Boxに格納したファイルから、コメントを@メンションしてもメンション先に通知メールが送信されない、または、メールの遅延が発生している。
    以下の記事に「通知サービスをアップデートしている」と掲載されているが、早めの改善を要求する。
    通知メールが送信されない、または、送信が遅延することで、ビジネスに影響が生じている。

  15. Expired Shared Link Notification to Owner

    Today, if I click on an expired shared link I cannot access the file. Ideally, I'd like the content owner to be notified if I click on the expired shared link so that they know that I'm trying to access it/can make it available to me.

    Before deleting files and folders, there should be a warning, so you don't accidentally delete a file or folder you didn't mean to.

  18. Email Notification for specific documents or tags

    In the current version of the Box product, there is no feature available to notify a user or a user group for that matter, of any uploads of specific file types or specific tags on files.

    We would like for our users to be able to be notified of uploads of specific files in a given folder instead of being inundated with notification emails for every upload done in a folder.

  20. Ability to easily view notifications

    Tasks, etc. are notified in the notification field, but I would like to see it improved so that it is easier to see.
    For example, carousel or feed format.
    I would like the notifications to be structured in such a way that I can always see them on the screen and notice them without having to click on them.
