Notification about Update of File
If you share a link to a file or folder, is there a way for recipients on that file to be notified that the file has been updated or in the case of a folder that another file has been added?
For example, when they receive the link, could there be a message that says, if you'd like to get updated about this file/folder enter your e-mail. Then Box has a way of sending them the updates.

I would like to better understand the use case / core problem this feature would address. Please share additional details in the comments below.

Being able to choose to send a notice to file/folder participants would be ideal so as files are updated they know something has changed.

Google sheet has notification options for whenever file is updated. Moving to Box prohibits use of this feature. Would like it restored so users(owners. editors) are notified whenever a file is updated.

Definitely it is quite an essential feature. Should be present by default. Otherwise users might easily overlook they are working with old revision file while a new is already uploaded.
