  1. 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.)

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. I would like the number of managed users to be displayed in real time.

    Regarding counting managed users in Admin Console > Users & Groups, the current design has a delay of one or few hours before accurate number is reflected.
    While we can use reports to see the exact number of users, it would be better to be able to see the number immediately after adding or removing users more intuitively.

  6. 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.

    <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…

  9. 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).

  10. Update Rejected naming in the notifications

    Please stop writing "rejected" in the notification that comes back when the created approval task is rejected. I would like to see more options, such as "send back".

  11. Error Update Notification

    Users sometimes get errors that "There was an error with "etc." Please try again later.

    For example, a user accidentally deleted a large folder tree that they needed to restore. When they tried to restore it, they were told this item was still in the process of deleting and to try again later.

    We would like an email when this action completes so we can continue with our work (in this case, a folder restore)

    Thanks for your feedback. We are currently trying to reduce the number of email notifications we send users, so will not be considering adding new emails in the short-medium term.

  12. Upload Email Notification

    In upload widget, send a confirmation email confirming the uploaded document.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

    This is an interesting feature! However, it does not have enough demand or impact in order to be prioritized. We will reconsider with additional demand.

  15. Enhancement for Box Drive Auto lock/unlock

    We would like to see the lock owner name and the duration when a user opens a locked file. Also, we would like to get a notification when the lock gets released

  16. No support

    It would be nice if Box would reinstate their support or fix storage meter faults after bulk deleting folders.

  17. Email to folder failure notifications

    Currently if an email to folder upload fails the notification tells you that an event happens but no information about what address was emailed or the target folder to assist in identify the problematic process.

    Information can be obtained through a support ticket, but it would be quicker if at a minimum the folder ID was included in the email. Would be great if other information about the sender could be included as well, but I'd take just getting the folder ID as a start.

    Present notification only includes the following:

    Your attempt to email file(s) into 'a folder' was…

  18. List of folders with overridden email notifications

    Many users choose to override the default email notifications for certain box folders but then forget which folders they chose the override setting. It would be nice under the Notifications section to list which folders the user has chosen to override email notification settings.

  20. Notify user on corrupt file upload

    We should be able to notify a user when the file he just uploaded is detected by shield as corrupted.
    The notification could be sent by mail or by notification on the website, depending on the configuration given by the user.

    This feature is relly important on a legal base, because each user should have the ability to correct his own mistake.
