  2. 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…

  4. 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”.

  5. 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…

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

    I would like to have the user and admin to receive an email notification once the large folder operation (LFO) is finished so that each counterpart knows when the operation is finished.

  7. 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。

  8. 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.

  10. Warning before deleting files or folders

    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.

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Disable email upload notification for users who are uploading the files

    We are using Box Email feature to collect all attachments from the important thread. Box sends notification after succesful upload for EACH file. Sometimes company logo in the signature is also treated as an attachment. The end result is too many emails from box.
    It will be better to turn off this feature at the folder level. If folder to which the attachments get delivered could select to turn off the notifications, it would be greatly appriciated.

  16. Specific Text Box Area for Notifications

    Problem: Whenever a notification popup shows up (file is done uploading, file has moved, etc) it blocks access to a lot of functionality in the upper part of the screen - even something that is to the left or right of the notification but is not covered up.

    Rather than having a popup notification to tell you that an event has finished (such as a file or folder being moved), instead create a static notification area to report to.

  17. Ability to send custom notifications for new uploads by external users

    A customer of ours reached out to ask if it is possible to configure email notifications for a Box folder to send to anyone who uploads a document into this folder. Specifically she is asking whether an automatic reply email can be created and sent to anyone who uploads a file into a folder she owns. This folder is for admissions purposes, so having every uploader adjust their email notification settings is not a practical solution in this case. Since this is not currently an option for Box, I wanted to submit this feedback to suggest for future releases.

  18. Allow granular controls for disabling "Mail All" function for file/folder shares with collaborators.

    Allow companies to disable the "Mail All" function of the Collaboration page of a File/Folder so that hundreds/thousands of collaborators of a large company wide share cant be sent notifications errantly, causing a lot of unnecessary noise.

  19. 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.

  20. Ability for folder co-owners to recieve additional collaboration notifications

    In Box, when a collaborator invites another collaborator, the owner of the folder will be notified by email that the collaborator has been added. I would like you to add the ability to send this notification to co-owners as well. Folders are often not managed by the owner alone, and co-owners need to get as much information as the folder owner.
