SSO - Disable Automatic Email Notification when Email Alias is Added via SAML
Currently, when an email alias is added to a user's account via SAML (upon login), the user receives an email notification alerting them of this addition. Some customers would like this email notification (specifically when an alias is added via SAML) to be disabled.
Request: provide the option (on the Notifications tab of Enterprise Settings) to suppress notifications for 'email alias added' when the alias is added via SAML.

Alert if classification label is changed
Send a notification when a classification is changed. When a classification is changed for a piece of sensitive content, there is currently not an alert or notification generated. Reporting capabilities on any changed classification labels are also important.

Box Drive & Box Shield
Currently Box Shield classifies copy & pasting within Box Drive as downloading which results in a false alarm notification. It would be great to be able to see the difference between moving files and actually downloading files from a Box report.

bulk edit
I would like you to add the "Notification Email" item to "Bulk Edit".
It would be very helpful to add "Notification Email" to the items in Bulk edit in "Admin Console> Users & Groups> Bulk edit".
If the administrator can register the settings of the notification e-mails of the managed users by bulk editing, the efficiency of the administrator will increase, and the security of the
e-mails will be better than allowing each user to set up the notification e-mails.6 votes -
Box Task Center notification pop-up
Popup assigned tasks when users visit "All Files" page. Currently Box Task Center shows only number. To make it possible for a user to surely notice, popup is better.

Disable integration email notification
ForeScout currently has an integration setup with DocuSign to upload a copy of any completed PDFs to Box. When this occurs, we receive an email from DocuSign with the PDF attachment and also the below email from Box. This is the Docusign to Box integration. The email from Box does not provide detail around where the file was saved or a link to access it. Given that we have a rather high volume of these uploads, I was wondering if there was a way to disable email notifications like this.

Notification for Incompatible Characters in file and folder names
We've run into issues with end users not being able to access content from Box Drive because the file or folder is created with a character that it is incompatible with Microsoft's file explorer.
Could you add in a pop-up visual in the web view that points out when you're using a character that will not be accessible from Box Drive?

Can't filter search files marked for offline use to unmark quickly and regain HD space.
NEED ASAP: See file list of marked for "offline use" to quickly/easily unmark to regain HD space. I regularly run low on space locally. Users should have a way for Box to ID files based on cache of local machine—to "unmark all" quickly, AS WELL AS selectively with a list of files marked offline to keep any files "offline available" as needed. A MUST-HAVE feature for managing files, since the whole point of box is file storage and accessibility.

I'd like the trash bin status to be reverted to the previous specification.
Regarding the BOX trash bin, since around August 12, 2025, all files appear to have the "10 years" policy applied to the trash bin, so I would like you to restore it to the previous state.
Please refer to the attached image for the previous state.12 votes -
Request for additional notification settings for BoxDrive
Is it possible to add a setting that periodically sends pop-up notifications when something is on hold or when there is a synchronization error? (It would be ideal to be able to select ON/OFF)

Retain completed tasks in the Notification CEnter
We would like to find tasks completed by others in our Notifications Center. Right now, Tasks assigned to other users disappear from our list when the task is complete. We want to be able to see completed tasks.
4 votesYou can now view a list of completed tasks in the Tasks Inbox. Click the clipboard icon on your Box homepage, then click “View All Tasks”. From there, you can choose a filter “My Tasks” or “Sent Tasks” to only those that have been completed.

Account Creation Notification: When new users are added, email admins => unclear wording and missing feature
When a new account is created, notifications should not go to all admins. Admin should have the choice to select who gets the notification (all Admins, main admin, co-admins, specific co-admin)
Most large organizations have co-admins assigned to monitor created users, to support / track and managed account creation and tie it to SSO or internal helpdesk processes.

List View of Marked For Offline Files
It is imperative that we have a view of which folders we have Make Available Offline. We can't hunt and peck through hundreds of folders with a Green Checkmark on it to Make Available Online Only when we're finished with a big "sync". This is already a hoop we're jumping through because we can't "sync" to an external drive so we have to manually manage internal Hard Drive space. A user should be able to see what they have marked for offline at a glance so they can easily reverse the storage affect on local hard drives.

Drive: Notifications when there is simultaneous editing happening
When multiple people are simultaneously editing in Drive multiple versions save as different copies. There should be notifications so people don't have to lock files to let others know they are editing a document.
264 votesWe have launched the capability to coauthor Office, iWork and Google Workspace files from Box Drive. Coauthoring documents will provide indication on the users who are actively editing the document.
We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap for other file types. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

Carbon footprint
As a customer, can you help me understand what the carbon footprint is of our storage? We are doing a carbon footprinting analysis for our own operations and would be helpful if you have that as an output. Thanks!

Provide a FUSE (Filesystem in userspace) handler for Box Linux and other *nix support
Linux, and other operating systems, have a mechanism for vendors to provide transparent filesystem access to esoteric file storage mechanisms in userspace, without the need to write a kernel module using "FUSE" (Filesystem in Userspace).
Box would only need to write a FUSE handler, and then that'd open up access to a lot of *nixes.

Box Drive Notification
It would be nice to have a feature we can use to notify end users of the restriction to upload files at the root level in Box Drive. Right now we are depending on sync errors which can be easily dismissed by non technical users and I believe if a message was clearly displayed of the restriction It would cause less confusion and create a better user experience.

Seamless Sign On - Box Drive
Like OneDrive, we want the ability for the box drive client to seamlessly sign into box without any user integration at login. This will benefit;
- VDI users
- Hot desk users
- Students (e.g. lab machines)
- First time logon for staff allocated devicesWe understand this won't work for everybody but we to SSO to box via Azure AD and all of our 7,500 managed devices are joined to both on-premises AD and Azure AD. In fact we're starting have a slow migration to pure Azure AD.
This has stopped any large scale rollout and we have seen…
