Give Box Relay more options
Relay is weak at the moment when it comes to renaming files with very few variables supported when compared to rival storage apps.
Adding the ability to do character replacement/removal in the filenames of assets or even using regex would greatly enhance the automation offered by Box and reduce the reliance on third party apps to rename files.

Ability to open password protected files from mobile devices
Until a few weeks ago, password protected files could be opened through the mobile app from a mobile device. Now the attempt to open a password protected file results in an error of "Decryption failed. (null). Password protected files cannot be opened from mobile device from m.box.com or www.box.com either (error is different). Seems to defeat purpose of cloud based storage since so many users depend on a mobile device to open view files from Box storage.

ARW
I am currently using Box for our file storage and collaboration needs. I noticed that the ARW (Sony RAW image) file format is not currently supported for preview within Box. Could you please provide any information on whether there are plans to support ARW file previews in the near future? If so, could you share any anticipated timelines for this feature release?

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.

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。…

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.
2 votesThis is currently not planned. We will let you know if anything changes.

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. The community article can be found here: https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Box-Users/Managing-notification-emails-for-managed-users/ta-p/75964

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.

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.

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.

Automated Email Notifications Based on Metadata Values
Provide the ability to set automated email notifications based on values entered into folder/file metadata.
For example, 'send a reminder email to X people X days prior to the date entered in the 'lease expiration' metadata field on a file.
16 votesDue to competing priorities, we have not planned to work on this feature on our immediate timeline.

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.

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 -
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.

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.

Suppression List Query & Management
The new tool in the admin prompt to release users from the suppression list is half a solution. We need the ability to query for any of our users on the list. It would also be great if we got a notification when a user with our domain showed up on the list so that we could know to go in and remove them before they end up getting angry at Box for "not working."

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.
