Singapore Zones
We would like to have Singapore Zones as a main storage country.
Currently you can select Singapore as a back up of Japan but not as a main country.
We would need this to implement Box to South East Asian countries.4 votesI am incredibly proud to announce that our brand-new Singapore Zone has successfully launched! The team crushed it to bring this to life, so dive in and move your files there today!

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.

Display folder sizes when sorting by size and support sorting by file count
In Box Web, content can be sorted by “Size,” but the Size column for folders displays the number of files rather than the folder’s storage size.
As a result, even when the contents are sorted by storage size, the screen may display file counts such as “1,000,” “20,” and “600.” This can lead users to mistakenly believe that the contents have not been sorted correctly.
We would like to request the following improvements:・Display the folder’s storage size alongside the file count in the Size column
・Allow users to sort folders by file count in addition to storage sizeThese…

Ability to to delete saved previous versions
I am burning through storage because Box is saving every version of a file I am working on. There is currently no easy way to cut down and delete all previous versions of a file, and going through one by one is time consuming (and after I did, did not seem to decrease the folder size anyways). It would be awesome if there was a way to delete all previous versions of a file and only keep the most recent one.

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.
19 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!

Display pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started
Please display a pop-up notification to let users know that Box Drive is able to be started (or in other words, users are able to open contents).
We own a lot of content - this makes Box Drive take a long time checking the updated contents and starting up.
This is causing delays of Box Drive being launched.
If a notification pops up when Box Drive is ready to start accessing contents, users would not have to check the status of Box Drive so frequently.
Instead, they could work on other things while waiting for Box Drive to start.1 vote -
Allow customization of the “From” email address when sending notification emails via Box Relay instead of always using the default noreply@b
■ Need
Allow customization of the “From” email address when sending notification emails via Box Relay instead of always using the default noreply@box.com.■ Background & Issue
Currently, all notification emails sent by Box Relay originate from noreply@box.com. However, due to certain mail‐handling policies and recipient filtering rules, there is growing demand to send these Relay notifications from a company’s own domain/address.■ Example Use Case
In a process where the labor union reports employee work status to company officers using Relay notifications:
Issue: It is burdensome to ask all officers to adjust their mail filtering…

Hide annoying Move Items security warning popup message
Ability to suppress user popup security notification that warns about moving file will make content available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
Move Items
This content will be available to anyone with the link and to collaborators outside of your company.
You have chosen to move the selected item to the folder 'folder-name'. This folder has collaborators outside of your company and has a public shared link enabled. Do you want to continue?

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.

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 add branding to Box Sign notifications
Could fall under this request as well "Allow custom logo in Box notifications" - but just had a customer surface the need to add a logo to their Sign notifications, which would escalate the urgency to complete and return the document to the next signature.
12 votesWe've recently released custom branding for Box Sign, with this feature box customers can set their custom logo that will appear on the Box Sign notifications and signing experience

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.

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。…

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.

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.

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 -

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.

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.

<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
