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.

Relay Failure Notifications
It would be extremely helpful if when a relay fails to execute, or stalls for an extended length of time, the admin gets a notification. Currently if a relay fails, or stalls indefinitely, noone is actually notified, and the only record of the failure or stall is in the tracking log of the individual relay. It would be far more efficient for me as an admin to be proactively notified of the issue.

We want a notification function for end users on the Box home screen
When rolling out new features or raising awareness, it's useful to be able to prominently notify end users on Box.

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!

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.

Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)
When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"
REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.
Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.

We are eager for an improvement that shows the entire file path from a notification.
Box has become so popular that on some days I get what seems like 50 notifications. Unfortunately, most of the notifications will show a new or modified filename and a shortened path name - the combination of which doesn't allow us to figure out what project is associated with the notification.
This request is for all Box notifications to show the full path in their email instead of using /.../ to abbreviate any parts of the full path.2 votes -
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.

Comments and notifications for @ mentions
When @ mentioning a colleague in a document, the email notification not only reaches the recipient, but also all colleagues who are shared in the folder. How can that be changed? Greetings and thanks

Limit the amount of data a user can download to prevent data theft by employees.
Limit accidental or intentional bulk downloads.
An ex-employee intentionally or accidentally connected his Network Attached Storage device to his Box account, and it downloaded big chunks of our Box data. We want to prevent very large amounts of data (client work and IP) from being downloaded by users, for example, within a logged-in session, within a set timeframe or by the size of the folder (ie. large folders over a specific size containing folders).
This could be set per user with an enterprise-level default eg. 5GB. If someone tries to bulk download, the admin is altered. Users can request that…

Bulk API support
It would be great if we have a bulk API option. I would like to pass in the list of entity ids(could be files, folders users etc) and get back the results. This will reduce the number of api calls we do to get all the information.
We try to manage client's storage accounts and the main problem is with rate limiting for a large clients.
Implementation can vary, either limit the response size or provide an ack id and developers can poll for the id and get the data back once the api is ready to spit out the…
25 votesThank you for the suggestion. This is an interesting idea but not one we currently have on the roadmap. In the mean time, you can apply techniques such as caching (i.e. fetch what you need once for a session and keep it in local storage) to reduce round-trips, and the use the ?fields query string parameter to request only the minimal set of fields you need, which can reduce API response times.

Need to get all the activity logs listed in the notification email
We want to get notification for each activity in the body of the email because sometimes some of the actions are not displayed, and "view all" button is displayed instead.

Email notification for new reports available in My Box Reports Folder
Please add a new feature to enable email notifications when Box reports I request becomes available in My Box Reports folder. I find that some reports may take several hours to run, specifically the Files and Folders report, and I need to constantly check refreshing the page to see if the report has been uploaded.

Change Sender name to "Box" or "Box Updates" instead of the user's name
Collaboration Invite notification emails currently pull the inviting user’s Display Name from the Sender line and putting it in the From line. This means that while the email is coming from noreply@box.com, it still has the user’s name like the email has come from them directly.
This can cause conflicts with mail servers that flag emails based on Display Name and email origin. It would be preferable to simple have all notification emails from Box leave Box or Box Updates in the Display Name field, rather than spoofing the acting user’s name.

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.

When changing the notification settings for a folder with permissions below viewer/uploader, an error message is displayed.
When changing the notification settings for a folder with permissions below viewer/uploader, an error message is displayed.
When you invite an external collaborator with viewer/uploader or lower permissions, an error message appears when the external collaborator tries to change the notification settings for the folder, causing confusion.
We want you to not see an error every time you change your email notification settings.(和訳：)

Folder Notifications - Bulk / End Of Day / Mid-day Scheduled
Currently within the user ability to set up notifications - these are for single activities e.g. Uploads, Edits, Downloads.
The number of notifications can sometimes bombard users sometimes to the point where they are not actively used.
Would it be possible to expand the notification settings to allow users to schedule a bulk e-mail of all notifications made on a daily basis either end of day or mid-day instead of multiple e-mails.
