Quota Notifications for End Users
I would like a way to set up different thresholds where a user can be notified that they are getting close to exceeding their quota limit. Give me the option to allow notifications at 95% and 99% and then every time they have hit their quota limit when they are someone else adds files to something that they own. I would also like to see warnings added for collaborators when they add files to another person's shares that indicate that they have hit a quota limit for the owner of the folder and give them a warning that they…

Provide total number of files in Account info
Currently if you go to Admin Console > ent settings > account info, we can see total storage space used in the Box instance. Can you add total # of files in the enterprise?

Force removal of local copy of item which has been sync'ed
One of our common workflows on Dropbox was
- Move large file to the (Dropbox, now Box) folder
- Wait for (Dropbox, now Box) to upload that content to the cloud storage
- Right-click on the file and select an option to force it to "Online Only" mode, which would remove the local copy, freeing up the disk space
It seems that there is no way to do that last bit with Box Drive, and there absolutely should be. For many folks, the premise of cloud storage is "get this off my local disk", and waiting until some random cache times out days…

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

Enhance Metadata Input Fields in Box Forms (Multi-line Support & Character Limit)
[Background and Problem]
A customer is looking to migrate their FAQ management system from Microsoft Lists to Box. Their plan is to store the FAQ answers as metadata. However, we have received feedback that this is impractical because the metadata input field in Box Forms is restricted to a single line, making it difficult to enter long answers.Below are our feature improvement requests.
Multi-line Input Support
We request the ability to either adjust the height of the text input field for metadata, or to select the same format as the "Long Text" field for metadata fields.Increased Character Limit…

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.

Ability to order files by file names
I'd like to fix the order by ''file name''
but even I correct it once, the order gets back by ''updated date'' again.

Include all file names in expiration notices of retention policies
Retention notifications to include the name of each file (instead of just names of folders containing the files) that will expire in 14 days
25 votesWe have already released Disposition insights feature https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/48807652516243-Disposition-Insights.
It solves the problem in another way. The notifications are sent similarly like in the past but they are only a reminder for user to review expiring files on the Disposition Page in End User Web App. The page contains names and locations of expiring files. User can additionally narrow down the list to files expiring in the next 7/14/30/90 days.

"Recents" feature - Feedback
There is a box notification above "Updates" page that states the following:
"Box has decided to end of life (EOL) the Updates feature on August 31, 2022. As an alternative to Updates, please use Recents to access content you have recently interacted with."As "Recents" feature does not offer any information about other users' interaction in shared files and folders (comments, uploads, views, etc) and, additionally, the notification system does not work for most of these instances (comments without tagging, uploading, etc) or does not work well enough (many times there is no notification or it is well delayed), this…

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…

Add notifications to Box for EMM
In the Box Web browser, I can confirm that the new mention is on the left side menu "notifications" with red ● when new notifications appear. We'd like to have those notifications within Box for EMM too.

Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request, or to change the sender email
Ability to CC a non-signer on a sign request. Sometimes the client doesn't recognize the admin person sending the sign request and refuses to sign. It would help to be able to CC their sales rep so the request looks more legitimate.
Alternatively, I'd like the ability to change who the Box Sign email comes from, so the email notification requesting signature can appear to come from the client's sales rep instead of the admin setting up the signature.

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.

@'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.39 votesThank 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.

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…

Request for an option to enable or disable email notifications when sharing a Hub
When sharing a Hub, I would like to be able to choose whether or not to send an email to the person I invited.
This is because users are not used to receiving notification emails from Box and might perceive them as spam, which would prevent unnecessary inquiries from being made to the IT department.
The addition of the Hub will be announced separately on the portal site, so I would like the Hub to be quietly added to the Hubs menu.2 votes -
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.
