Requirements to set external users as target of tasks and notification in Box Relay
(Japanese follows English)
We detected a problem that Box Relay owner can't set external users as target of tasks and notification automatically sent by relay.
In this case, the external user had been invited not by the relay-owner, but by another user.
According to the article below, relay-owner need to invite external users to set them as target.<article>
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695134-Box-Relay-FAQSome users are saying that this should be fixed because users who manage collaborator are not always same as users who manages relay.
Or, is it possible to allow multiple users to share the original relay (not templates).Box Relayの所有者が、タスクと通知の送信先に外部ユーザーを設定できないという事象が発生しました。…

Box-Notification header - Suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary
Extend the Box-Notifications header to suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary via API. This header only appears to work when adding or deleting users email aliases, and the documentation on docs.box.com is not specific as to when this is supported.
This functionality is required to silently mass update users email addresses.

Send notifications to multiple emails
We have a separate instance for managed external users. Because they have to create a dummy email for these externals, the email is not one that is able to receive notifications. They would like the ability to tack on working emails (without the unique email constraint) so that these users can still receive email notifications.
9 votesThis feature, called the Alternate Notification Email, was delivered as an opt-in experience in the Admin Console on Sept 25, 2019. We also support developer APIs for admins who need to configure emails programatically.

Option to disable notifications for collaborator invites being accepted
Users can get spammed if they send folder collaboration invites to a group and the organization's default settings are to auto-accept collaboration invites. The option to disable notifications for accepting collaborator invites would be useful in this circumstance.
18 votesThank you for your suggestion. We currently don’t have any plans to update the current email notifications flow, but will return to this suggestion later in the year. Please stay tuned!

Approval Result Email
The account that executed the trigger that started the BoxRelay will receive an email with the approval results of the relay, but we would like to limit the notification of the approval results.
(Ex. No email notification of approval results during the flow, only the final results are emailed, etc.)3 votes -
Ability to make Excel scripts available in "Box for Microsoft Office coauthoring"
Currently, due to OneDrive for Business requirements, scripts are not available when coauthoring is enabled in Box.

Language selection setting on collaboration email
When Japanese speaking users invite a collaborator, collaboration notification, the email body text is written in Japanese language. This behavior is not suitable when collaborator is Non-Japanese speaker.
So it is needed to be able to select the language of the invitation mail body when we invite others.
Japanese speaking users invite some English speaking users without changing their "default language" in account settings.

Show number of unread notifications on left menu bar
In the past, users were given the number of unread notification they have on the left menu bar. This has now been replaced by a red badge. We would prefer to have the number display so it is more accessible.

Include total number of actions per batch email notification in subject line
Currently, the email subject line for batch emails is along the lines of "Items were moved to [folder]". Within the email, it will surface some specific examples, but at a certain number of items, the bottom has a small gray text link that says "[number] additional items. Click View All to view."
It would be helpful for users who rely on these notifications as part of their workflow to be able to easily see how many actions are accounted for in each batch notification, perhaps in the subject line or elsewhere.

Custom notifications using Box API
Using Box API there is no way to create custom user notifications. It might be helpful to send some information to the customer that some documents have been moved, imported, etc. A user can monitor the folder but this would be a valuable extension for the API for platform developers.
12 votesThanks, this is a great suggestion but not one that is currently on our roadmap. In the mean time, you can consider using Webhooks to get relevant events and make use of a simple transactional email/sms API such as those provided by Twilio/Sendgrid or Amazon SES to send notifications based on those events.

Unsync or Delete from Box notification.
Our admin believes having the pop up appear before the scan would reduce mistakes. If there is a large folder sync'd the pop up occurs after it has scanned the folder which can take a few minutes.
Users continue with their work and when the pop up eventually appears they are making mistakes as they do not read it and clock dismiss.

Microsoft auto-save to Box for Mac users
For Mac users, it would be great if Box can be integrated as a storage location within Microsoft applications (eg. PowerPoint, Excel, Word, etc.). For Mac users, the auto-save slider in Microsoft Apps is disabled because the Box storage location is not specified. Please find a solution.

Upload notifications should notify user of uploads even if their account is the one uploading to a folder
User has set their folder settings to allow notification emails for a certain folder. She only gets email notifications when other people upload to that folder and not when she does. She would like to be able to receive notification emails when she uploads to the folder.
1 voteThis is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

<Regarding the watermarking feature for BoxNote, video and audio files
We are aware that Box Notes, video, audio, Flash, .msi, .exe, .zip, and 3D files will not be available when using the digital watermarking feature.
Currently, sensitive content is stored in a folder with a watermark applied, and users with previewer privileges are invited to view only. However, I am aware of the specification that if you create a BoxNote in a folder with watermark applied, it cannot be displayed in the Previewer.
Since BoxNote is a Box product and a frequently used feature, we would like to ask…1 vote -
Allow invitee to be notified of auto-expiration collaboration event
One of the settings in "auto-expiration" (Enterprise setting -> Content & Sharing) currently wrote "notify affected users" when the folder owner is the only person actually receiving the notification.

Only send notification of FTP login activity after first connection
Currently, a service that connects to Box via FTP every 15 minutes via a cronjob also causes Box to send an email every 15 minutes about a "Box-login from 'Box FTP Server'". It makes sense the first time, but for every new connection, this seems a bit overkill, and leaving the connection open all the time is not always desired either.

Partial Sync Notification
It would be a good idea to add a new icon as well as the "Tick" to show a part synced folder. It's better than having to hover over it. Currently you must go manually searching for an issue most users don't realise can happen.

Box Drive Backup Controls
Please allow me to use Box Drive to backup files to the cloud (not sync them). Allow me to designate folders where I add files that are (a) added to the cloud and (b) removed from local storage. Allow me to choose when the removal happens (e.g. every night at midnight).
