  1. Ability to disable/modify admins receiving ALL collaboration invite notifications

    Currently every time someone in our organization shares a file or folder I get an email notification, it gets obnoxious at at times. It seems silly I can't control these notifications. The following need to be able to be turned off,

    • Collaboration invitations
    • Collaboration invitation acceptances

    In general more control over notifications is ideal, I can't imagine why this would be so difficult. Thank you.

  2. Request to suppress collaborator invitation emails.

    When needing to invite a single user into multiple files and subfolders within a given folder, but not into all files in that specific folder, we'd like to see a way to suppress the email notifications that are automatically sent to that user each time the collaborator invitation is sent.

    Currently there is no way to choose to not have the email notifications go out and then it inundates the user's inbox.

  3. Notification when a collaborator is removed

    We would love it if there were a way to get immediately notified if the “System Account” group were ever to be removed in the future.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    The existing behavior is that if you enter the text specified in [Management Console > Enterprise Settings > System Email Signature], the
    The specified text is not displayed in the content of invitation e-mails to users who do not have a Box account.
    This feature will make it easier for users who receive the e-mail to know that it is not a spam e-mail.
    Also, by specifying company-specific text, users of business partners can be assured when…

  9. 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

  10. Folder settings Notification mail

    Currently, there are two ways to set up email notifications: from [Account Settings] and [Folder Settings].
    The name "Folder Settings" may be misleading.
    The reason for this is that the name [Folder Settings] seems to affect users who are invited to the folder as collaborators.
    Therefore, please add a note to [Folder Settings] that the scope of the effect is only the user who made the setting, and that the effect is not reflected on users who are collaborating on the folder.


    現在メールによる通知設定は、[アカウント設定]からと[フォルダ設定]があります。
    この[フォルダ設定]ですが、とても誤解を受ける名称をしているかと存じます。
    理由として、[フォルダ設定]とあるため、フォルダにコラボレーターとして招待されているユーザーに影響があるように見受けられるためです。
    そのため、この[フォルダ設定]には影響範囲は設定を行ったユーザーのみであることと、フォルダにコラボレーションされているユーザーには反映されない旨を注釈として記載してください。

  11. Ability to manage all notifications settings at the user level

    Our team would love to only receive Box notifications via Teams.

    Currently, you cannot turn off some notifications to go to your email, like when someone tags you in a comment.

    We would like the ability to disable this manually. Some users would like to have both options.

  12. Add sender's email address to the "Mail All" collaborators functionality.

    Currently when a notification is sent via email through "Mail All" collaborators function, it does not include an email to the person who created the notification. It would be beneficial to add the sender's email address to this notification process for documentation purposes and validation. When the creator does not receive the email, they are reliant on other parties to forward the notification, which is not efficient.

  13. Upload Completion Notification

    I love how I am notified when a set of files are uploaded into a specific folder but I am having one very key issue. I will receive the notification upon upload, but many times because it is 10+ large images, the images are not done uploading. I will review the folder but be unaware that the Upload is not complete. I may see 5 images with 5 still uploading.

    Is there a way Box could show us of upload progress? OR possibly send a second notification when the upload is complete?

  14. Alarm with due date in documents.

    It would be very nice you can set a revalidation date to some documents that need to be reviewed in selected period. For example , documents that need to be validated each year. It would be nice if we can flag a date in the document , and receive an alert advicing that the document need to be reviewed. This alarm can be used for everything (for example for deletion of document). Thanks!

  15. Download notification when opening a file

    Currently. Download notification. Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on demand, and does not trigger this notification. For example, user A download a file through Drive, Folder owner B doesn't receive download notification although the folderset download notification in Folder settings. The download event should trigger sending notification. Expected Behavior: Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on demand, and it triggers this notification. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Folder Owner set download notification by selecting "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" 2. Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on…

  16. Failed login email alerts

    It'd be great if the "failed to log in 5 times” email alerts included the time, IP address, location, and what part of Box the user was trying to log in to (e.g. web app, desktop app, FTP, API, etc.) for each of the failed attempts. That’d make it a lot easier to track down any issues on our side, or determine whether there was an internal security issue to investigate. If it could also include similar details about the last couple of successful attempts, that’d also be helpful, just to see if there’s a deviation from a pattern

  17. Full path to the file in notification e-mails

    I'd like to ask for adding full path to the file (especialy first level) in notification e-mails to use Outlook rules. Starting this year everybody is a member of many BOX groups - less or more important. It would be very usefull to split the notifications into folders.

  19. 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).

  20. 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
