    <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…

    Message Font Setting: Improve the visibility of the message, instead of having a dark grey font over a light gray background, have at least a black font over the light Gray background.

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Notifications on desktop and chrome notifications.

    Integrate Box notifications with the desktop notifications and chrome notifications. Windows 10, Apple Desktop Notifications. This would help with adoption as users are used to working within the desktop

  8. 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".

  9. 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.

  10. Upload Email Notification

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

  11. Enhancement for Box Drive Auto lock/unlock

  12. Sync Box to an external hard drive

    This should go without saying, but internal hard disks are far too small for cloud storage to sync, especially when using the cloud storage for large files such as video editing. We have several Terabytes of data on ours that we access all the time, as a group of editors. It's an absolute dealbreaker that we're forced to use the default location of the local drive to sync files using Box Desktop, and we would like the option of choosing an external hard drive or even a secondary internal drive to sync to. Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, and Google Drive all…

  13. 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.

  15. Metadata search activity report and tagging notifications

    Is there a way to report out on metadata search activities? We'd like to get analytics on our team activities with metadata searches and the frequencies. We'd also like to set-up email notifications notifying admin users when a file has been tagged.

  17. Add Support for Windows Server OS

    I see this has been posted int he past, but am going to post again. With the current Remote Work situation the ability to run Box Drive on a Windows Server OS would be extremely useful. We have over 1,000 employees working remotely and collaborating, and those files need to make their way back to our main storage. The best way to do that is by syncing box drive and using a 3rd party application to manage and move the files. This would ideally be done on a server based system for reliability.

  19. Prevent file duplication when using template and file replacement

    Box Sign allows the creation of templates that replace the underlying document within a signature request / template while keeping the existing field placeholders in place.
    However, using a different document than the pre-set document will result in duplicate files identical to the original document in the destination folder of the Sign document.
    This means that one unnecessary file is generated each time the template is used once.
    If a template is used 100 times, there can be as many as 100 unnecessary files!
    Of course, this will not occur if no files are replaced. However, it is common to…

  20. Reduce the number of hyperlinks in New Share Email Notifications sent to 3rd parties, to reduce likelihood of emails going to Spam

    A number of times, when a Box folder has been shared to someone outside our organisation, the end-user does not appear to receive the email notification. Only later is it discovered in their Email Spam folder.

    It is noted that there are a large number of hyperlinks in these emails.

    Can developers reduce the quantity of hyperlinks in the emails (other than the link to the new share), to reduce the likelihood that the email goes to Spam
