  2. 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.

  3. Lock a file being accessed with Office Online

    Enforce a notification or a dialog that the file is currently lock by another user. Currently, even though the file is locked it is still editable online.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 devices

    We 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…

  6. 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.

    We 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!

  7. Ability to change the URL of the notification email to a URL for each tenant.

    I would like to be able to change the URL of the notification email to a URL for each tenant.

    In the notification email, click on "Go to My Account" to go to https://box.com.
    I would like to be able to change this URL to a per-tenant URL. Example: https://[company name].ent.box.com
    Currently, if you are using SSO login or if your firewall controls access by domain, the user accessing the site must manually change the URL.
    It takes a lot of man-hours for a user who receives a notification e-mail to follow the above procedure every time, and there…

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

    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

  12. 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!

  13. 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.

    Boxのトップ画面で、エンドユーザーへのお知らせ機能が欲しい

    新機能の展開や注意喚起の際に、エンドユーザーに向けてBox上で目立つ形でお知らせを載せられると便利です。

  14. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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…

    Thank 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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:)
    ビューア/アップローダ以下の権限でフォルダの通知設定を変更するとエラーメッセージが表示されてしまいます。
    外部コラボレータをビューア/アップローダ以下の権限で招待をした際に外部コラボレータがフォルダの通知設定を変更しようとした際にエラーが表示されてしまうため混乱を招いています。
    メール通知設定を変更するたびにエラーが表示されないようにしてほしいです。

  20. 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.
