  1. 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…

  2. MS Office @ mentions to sync and notify users

    @ mention comments, tags and notifications section in Microsoft Office apps, should also integrate with Box interface and notifications. Great achievement with co-authoring, however, it is highly inconvenient to have to comment on Box preview, and then open the file to work/edit. Ideally users need to be able to @ mention and tag other colleagues/users within the MS application, which should notify other users to take action on the required document. Otherwise it creates duplication of work/inefficiencies in the process.

  3. Disable notification triggered by integration or specific collaborator

    We are using Druva to back-up the data. But Druva downloads all the data and triggers large amounts of email notifications. We want the ability to disable the notifications for actions triggered by the integration

  4. "Referrer"

    We are planning to use Box as file storage of our members only page.
    We need "Referrer" function to allow access to folders and files only from our members only website.

  5. 【Box Relay】About email notifications for approval requests

    Relayにて承認タスクを割り当てた際にメッセージ欄に関連する資料のURLを記載して依頼を行っている
    現状リンクが有効になっておらず、関連資料を確認する手間が発生している
    必要な資料をすぐに確認できるよう通知メールから記載されているURLにアクセスできるように通知メールのURLリンクを有効化してほしい

    When assigning an approval task on Relay, the request is made by writing the URL of the related document in the message field.
    Currently the links are not valid and it takes time to check related materials.
    I would like you to enable the URL link in the notification email so that you can access the URL listed in the notification email so that you can quickly check the necessary materials.

  6. Notifications sent on a specific date through Relay

    We have files that need to be moved/copied on a specific date. It would be helpful if it were possible to use relay or comment to send a notification that a file needs to be moved or copied when the date is reached.

  8. Notify user immediately when a file is updated or uploaded.

    We would like the functions or API commands to notify user immediately when a file on the Box is updated or uploaded.
    We would like to be able to trigger the next process on file updates, so we would like the ability to be notified each time an update is made, rather than a periodic notification.

  9. Bulk add users as admin

    Currently the only categories in bulk add are:
    Name Email Groups Storage Restrict external collaboration

    Would be helpful to be able to bulk designate admins at this time, especially for sandbox environments.

  10. Provide total number of files in Account info

    This is not planned for our current roadmap. We will let you know if anything changes.

  11. GET RID OF PAGINATION!

    We constantly have people unable to find files on Box because they're located on the second (or later) pages in the folder.

    It's completely pointless and an unusual user experience for online file storage.

  12. Prevent the search window opened from the BoxDrive notification icon from closing automatically.(BoxDriveの通知アイコンから開く検索ウインドウが勝手に消えないようにする)

    When you click the BoxDrive notification icon, the search window that appears automatically hides when you click on search results or other windows. To check files one after another from the search results, you have to click the BoxDrive notification icon again to display it, which is cumbersome. I want to make this a pop-up window that does not hide until I click the close button.

    (in Japanese)
    BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示される検索ウインドウは、検索結果をクリックしたり他のウインドウをクリックしたりすることで自動的に非表示になる。
    検索結果から次々とファイルを確認するためには、再度BoxDriveの通知アイコンをクリックして表示させねばならず操作が煩雑である。
    これをポップアップウインドウにし、閉じるボタンをクリックするまでは非表示にしないようにしたい。

  13. Notification of task / mention on content from folder-view.

    Add an icon to a file (similar to the lock icon, or the shared link icon) when the associated user has an active task assigned to them or has been referenced in a comment but has not yet reviewed the document.

  15. Request for improvement of mail upload function

    I found a problem with the current mail upload function, so I would like Box to improve it.

    [Request (1): Adding Management Console and Folder Settings]
    Users with Editor permission can change the settings of the folder's mail upload function.
    However, I would like to add the ability to restrict this permission to owners and co-owners to the administrative console and the settings for each folder.

    [Request (2) Timing for saving the settings of the mail upload function]
    If you click "Allow uploads to this folder via email" about the mail upload function of the folder, the URL for the…

  16. Box Sign notifications: a setting to group notifications sent to signers in case of many docs sent for signing during the day

    Sometimes our managers receive several docs for signing during the day and it's not convenient to be pinged by the requests during the day, also there is a chance to miss something if they don't sign immediately.
    We'd like an option to group such notification in order that the employee receives one notification per day with all docs they need to sign.
    It may be nice to have it as a company-wide setting for those who don't have an account in Box and a personal setting where a user can overwrite the company settings, if the user has a Box…

  17. Add User Activity Reporting for Folder Settings Changes

    Right now, there is no way to tell who is enabling or disabling notification settings by accident (rather than managing their own user level notifications).

  18. Worflow Starter should be the assigner of tasks instead of the creator/owner of Relay Workflow.

    A relay workflow is created by one owner but used by several people. Since all the tasks are assigned by the workflow owner rather than the workflow starter, its confusing for assignees. E-mail and task notifications should show the workflow starter's name instead of the owner of workflow.

  19. Ability to turn off all suggestion notifications

    give me an option to turn off all suggestions for feature exploration. I'm only here to access files and do not care about whatever features are available; making me click 'maybe another time' rather than providing a 'i never want to see a notification like this ever again' option big thumbs down.

  20. A dedicated notifications page to allow viewing of past notifications

    I would like a page where all notifications live historically. Right now I am forced to use a small dropdown which is clumsy and not searchable.

    I use notifications to find files that I was added to in the past but not recently enough to appear on recents page.

    the ipad app has a page similar to what I am talking about except it doesnt go back far enough
