  1. Auto-notify collaborators when a file is uploaded to a folder

    The folder owner should be able to create an email notification for all subscribers to the folder to receive a notification when a new file is uploaded to Box.

    The email would be sent to the user's email on file for that Box folder. The user would not have to update his/her own settings. The folder owner would set notifications, and the user would have to turn them off if too frequent.

    The scenario is that a shared Box folder with <10 users. The users are generally infrequent users of Box, so do not proactively check on the folder…

  2. Allow users to know whether a file has been updated via Box Drive.

    Add notifications on file updates within Box Drive. If a file is currently updated, we need to view notifications in the web browser as Box Drive does not show this.

  3. If a managed user triggers IP CAPTCHA, send an email notification to the enterprise's admin.

    If a user triggers CAPTCHA on an IP address, it could potentially impact many users if our account is NATing our IPs to one external IP.

    Typically this is caused by an end user saving a bad set of credentials into some kind of client (FTP or WebDAV) that is constantly trying to reconnect.

    not planned  ·  rbalakrishnan responded

    This request makes sense, but this is not something that is planned for the foreseeable future.

    I will keep monitoring similar cases and prioritize once this becomes a high value request.

  4. @'ing box groups in comments

    Is there a way to @mention a box user group in the comments section? We have executive team groups of 4-7 people that need tagged in the comments for notifications to approve and discussed projects, but when you are @'ing all 7 it looks a little messy as well as remembering all of those users. Since the email addresses are linked in the box group, would it be possible to @mention that unique group name in the comment and get the same result as @'ing a single user name?
    I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.

    Thank you for your feedback! We believe this feature is important and can provide significant value to the Notes product experience. However, we cannot prioritize this feature in the near term. We will keep this under consideration for our future roadmap.

  7. Include a Disable Preview Option

    I've been using BOX for years and the only complaint is from my clients who download from my shared links. Almost 90% of users complain that they get the message
    "We're sorry, this file type is not currently supported."

    I understand from your viewpoint but from our viewpoint, we dont require such preview because our files are .zip, .rar, .7z, etc.

    So PLEASE enable some option where I can enable or disable the auto-preview.
    Remember, you guys are a cloud storage 1st solution. My clients should be able to download anything as simply as possible without getting confused about some…

  9. Request new report by file extension

    While you can check rough file types from the storage in admin insights, there are many situations in operations where you need to understand capacity and file counts at the extension level. I would like to request a report that can show file sizes by extension. I also want it to support filtering by owner.

    管理者インサイトのストレージから大まかなファイルタイプを確認できますが、運用では拡張子の粒度で容量や件数を把握したい場面が多くあります。拡張子ごとのファイルサイズを確認できるレポートの提供を希望します。所有者ごとのフィルタリングにも対応してほしいです。

  10. Ability to control and mute email notifications that comes from tasks

    Whenever a task is assigned via an automation, that task is assigned by the main admin, who will also receive email notifications regarding the task.

    Because this is done through automations, the admin will get flooded with emails about the task, which is not desirable in a large organization.

  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。

  14. Request for addition of a function to change the display unit of the storage size of insights in the management console

    Currently, the display units for the overall size and the detailed size are different, and I would like to convert the units depending on whether I want to see a rough view or see more details, but it would be a hassle to convert each.
    Therefore, we would like you to add a function to convert the display unit.

    <管理コンソールのインサイトのストレージのサイズの表示単位を変更する機能の追加要望>
    現状全体および詳細なサイズの表示単位が異なっており、ざっくり見たい場合やより詳細を見たい場合などに応じて単位変換したいが、それぞれ変換するのは手間になります。
    そのため表示単位を変換する機能を追加してほしいです。

  16. Mass enable notifications under Account Settings --> Sharing - General Email and Notification

    We want to encourage people to rely on messages in Box as well as via email if more appropriate. Currently, the default is that the email notifications are turned off. We would like to be able to choose to default ON with individuals deselecting if they prefer.

  17. Customize frequency of task email notifications

    Currently there are 3 emails when assigning a task.
    -First email is when the task is assigned
    -Second email is a reminder that the task is due (one day before)
    -Third email is a reminder that the task is past due (one day after)

    I'd like to have the ability in the admin console to customize the frequency of these notifications. For example, I would like to send a reminder twice before the task is due (two days and one day before). Additionally, once the task is past due, send a reminder email every X amount of days until…

  18. Expired Shared Link Notification to Owner

    Today, if I click on an expired shared link I cannot access the file. Ideally, I'd like the content owner to be notified if I click on the expired shared link so that they know that I'm trying to access it/can make it available to me.

  19. Ability to turn off optional message field on shared link email and add collaborator dialogs

    Many customers in regulated industries do NOT like the fact that some email notifications from Box have the ability to enter an optional message that will be included as part of the notification. Because this email bypass the customer email gateway they don't have visibility into what that message is. This feature is a compliance issue and should have the ability to turn it off.

    The Box Compliance Email Archive is not sufficient for some customers and that is why one way to solve this would be disabling the feature.

  20. Instead of stalling/killing workflow when file to be moved is still open, pause and send notifications to close file

    Workflows currently stall (=die) if a file is meant to be moved following a task assignment, where the assignee edits the file and "Marks as complete" without having closed the file's tab. This can happen quite commonly: a user is asked to input edits into a file, so they open the file in the relevant Office online app (eg Excel online), and when they're done editing, if they forget to close the Excel online tab in their browser before going back to the BOX preview tab where they click on "Mark as Complete", then the workflow stalls. It would be…
