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.

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…

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

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.

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.

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.
18 votesDue to competing priorities, we have not planned to work on this feature on our immediate timeline.

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 -
Automate Failure Notifications
Allow Admins/Co-Admins to set up automatic alerting or notifications if an Automate workflow has failed at any step. Currently, the only way to check this is to go to the Tracking page. Tracking needs notification events that can be enabled for better monitoring.

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.

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

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…

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.

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.

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.
