Upload policies catching too many false positives
137 files flagged so far today for Social Security Violation. Here is the warning information: File attached.
I am getting so many false positives that I would need a team to look at every single file that gets flagged. The scanning engine is terrible. Please escalate to your internal dev group so it can get fixed.

Thank you for the suggestion! At the moment there is no plan for this feature. We may look into this in the future.

I see this post is almost two years old. However, we also have thousands of files that have fund numbers in it that appear like a social security numbers (nine digits) so it all gets flagged as content security violations. We would also like to request a feature to either whitelist files or for Box to learn about customer files.
What is the algorithm that Box uses to determine if a file has that type of content?
