  1. Add User Email Address to 'Account Creation Notification' Emails

    PROBLEM: Admins in Box have the ability to receive emails when new accounts are created (via the Account Creation Notification setting in Enterprise Settings -> Security). However, this email only includes the NAME of the user, not the user's email address.

    REQUEST: Add the email address for the user to the email (next to the name) since names are not unique within a company (but emails typically are).

  3. Email notifications based on saved search

    Provide the ability for a user to save an arbitrary search query (including the use of Metadata templates if applicable) and be notified of new content that arrives in a Box folder when it matches that saved search.

    This would immensely help our Box users be notified in real-time as we upload content that they are interested in. Otherwise, they have to periodically search the entire folder at some period of the day to find this new content of interest. Using the current notification capability that triggers on all uploads would be too much "noise" to the user; they need…

  4. Ability to easily view notifications

    Tasks, etc. are notified in the notification field, but I would like to see it improved so that it is easier to see.
    For example, carousel or feed format.
    I would like the notifications to be structured in such a way that I can always see them on the screen and notice them without having to click on them.

  5. Collaboration Expiry notification to Folder Owner

    When setting the Collaboration Expiry period, only the users effected receive an email informing the termination.
    I would like to the Folder/File Owners to receive it too so that they can extend the collaboration when necessary before the collaboration gets terminated.

  6. Workflow should be able to utilize metadata field to send notifications.

    we have buyers as part of the metadata. Workflow should have a notification as an outcome and retrieve email or user info from metadata to send notifications for folder events.

    We also have due date and status on the metadata, workflow should be able to check the date, status and sending overdue messages to the buyers.

  7. Box Relay

    Box Relay needs to be able to create a work flow for a parent folder and have it work for all child folders. A user is setting up a simple notification (upload, download) and then sends a notification to a set of users with a message. The user currently has to replicate or create a new Relay for each child folder. Very, very silly to have to waist so much time.

  9. Do not send notifications to group members when inviting a group to Hubs, as is the case when inviting a group to a folder.

    Currently, when you invite a group to Box Hubs, all group members receive a notification.
    However, if there are many group members, if all group members receive the email, it may violate some rules of Exchange Online.
    Therefore, I would like to see an improvement so that notifications are not sent to group members when inviting a group to Hubs, as is the case when inviting a group to a folder.
    ーーーーーー
    <フォルダへのグループ招待時のようにHubsへのグループ招待時もグループメンバーへの通知を送信しない>
    現在Box Hubsでグループを招待すると、グループメンバー全員に通知が届きます。
    しかし、グループメンバーが多い場合、グループメンバー全員がメールを受信すると、受信するExchange Onlineの何らかのルールに抵触する可能性があります。
    そのため、フォルダへのグループ招待時のように、Hubsへのグループ招待時もグループメンバーへの通知が送信されないように改善してほしいです。

  10. Hide/Turnoff Box Drive Error message

    With Box Drive, users are getting many error messages pertaining to incompatible file names. Users would like the ability to prevent continued notification since most of these files do not below to them. Possibly could be handled with a [Dont show again] or [Remove from alerts] check box

    You can disable notifications through OS controls for Box Drive. That being said, we are working on improving error handling in Drive to address the root problems and hopefully lead you to disabling notifications as they are an important part of our UX!

  11. Ability to Customize Styling of Box Sign Email Notifications

    Hi Box Support,

    I’d like to submit a feature request for Box Sign regarding the email notifications that are sent to recipients when requesting signatures.

    Currently, these emails appear to use a standard layout and font, with limited ability to customize the visual presentation. It would be extremely helpful to have the option to customize the email’s styling, including:

    Font size and font family

    Line spacing and paragraph formatting

    Branding options (e.g., header image, color accents)

    HTML support for enhanced formatting

    This would allow users to create a more professional, brand-consistent, and user-friendly experience for signers. Even limited template…

  12. Send Box notifications to a Slack channel

    We've been expanding the use of Slack in our organization and trying to encourage people to reduce the use of email. Ideally, we would like to see the ability to have Box notifications get sent directly to a Slack channel, so people don't have to keep going back to email.

  13. Provide an option to sync files with names beginning with '.'

    Box sync / box drive needs to provide an option or a setting that will enable files whose names begin with '.' to be sync'ed.
    Reason: I would like to be able to use Box Drive as storage for projects that I manage via Eclipse and GIT. However there are files and directories named .git and .project that currently box drive does not sync, which makes using my box drive as storage for such things impossible.

  14. Notifications + Override ability for Folder Owners when a folder is Deleted by a Collaborator

    When in Box Drive, collaborators can inadvertently delete a large folder, even if they don't own that folder. Before the folder is able to be deleted, the owner of the folder should receive a notification with a warning (e.g. Jane Doe is about to delete your files) and the owner should have the ability to override the action. In the case where the Owner is no longer at the company, there should be an Admin warning and ability to override the action.

  15. Disable/enable feature announcement notifications on an enterprise level for all users

    This would be added to the enterprise settings for default email notifications. The users are receiving many notification and sending out instructions to all of them to change on a user level seems to be out of the question.

  16. Add additional details in the the virus detection notification email

    During this time (2022/02/28, Monday, 13:00), I received a virus detection notification email.
    When I checked the contents, the upload date by virus detection notification email is 2020/06/16 9:36:17 JST,
    Neither the target file was found in the path of the email presentation.

    I contacted MKI Box Support Desk.
    We received the following answers.

    "The virus scan seems to be rescanned accordingly based on the activity of the file, not only at the time of upload.
    The frequency of scans is determined by the number of file activity.
    It can be difficult to explain the consistency of when this notification

  17. Report Data by Zone - Very Helpful for GDPR

    Allow admins the ability to run reports and show data residency by zone. So if I was looking to run a report on a specific folder I could essential get information such as:

    File\Folder Name
    Uploaded\Created Date
    Owner
    Storage Location (US, Ireland \Germany, Japan)

  18. Deliver Email Notification with the title including the actual folder on upload.

    Currently, people get email notification with the title including parent folders when uploading to multiple file even though people upload to child folder. The title makes them a bit confusion and lead to know them there is upload event on parent folder.
