Getting Notifications that Don't apply to non-admins
When I logged into Box this morning, I saw the following note in the lower right-hand corner of my home screen.
Your Box account has been growing!
A growing number of users at your company have signed up for Box accounts – exceeding the number seats included in your plan by {{MLDATAOVERAGE_SEATS}}. To adjust this license overage, add seats to your plan using the link below.- We do have seats available
- I am not an admin so this shouldn't be a notification I should receive.

Additional versioning features
Additional features regarding the version history:
- The ability to manually update the version number of a document on initial upload. This would allow existing version numbers to match version numbers tracked in Box.
- The ability to add the version number tracked in Box to the file name when downloading documents. This would eliminate the need to manually update the version number in file names, which could be prone to error.

The logo displayed in the shared link preview may violates customer's brand guidelines.
The company logo displayed in the upper left corner of the shared link preview page is incorrectly cropped and filled in.
Many use cases of the shared link should adhere to each company's brand guidelines.
Example:
-Provide a company-wide notification on a shared link of "Users in the company"
-Publish introductory material about the company's products on a shared link of "everyone with the link"The current unauthorized editing of the logo is undesirable and should be improved as soon as possible.

Sync my desktop files on a Mac to Box
Feature suggestion: if there's any way for us to sync my desktop files on a Mac to Box - that would be HUGE for our end users. Similar to how Macs work today where content on desktop is saved to iCloud - work with Apple so that Box can be used as the content storage area of choice instead.

Version history control per file basis
We would like for Owners and Co-owners of a file to have control over limiting the number of versions that can be created on an individual file. Currently, this is an enterprise wide setting and users do not have the option to override the number of versions. Users are requesting this control because the versions count against their individual storage quota.

Update billing contact when changing Primary Admin
When updating your primary admin it would be helpful to be prompted to review your accounts billing contact details. This is to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding renewals and to ensure that Box always have the right contact details for billing communications.

Slack notifications for tasks
We cannot be getting task notifications on Slack Channel. Comment notifications to the Slack Channel have become very convenient, but if task notifications are also given, seamless communication will be possible and more convenient.

Password reset email notifications to admins: Add possibility for admin to auto-reply to the affected user
When Enterprise Setting: Notify Admins when users request a password reset email is checked, any other admin will to receive a notification whenever one of their Managed users request a new password.
It would help being able to reply to the managed user from this notification in order to provide better interactivity between admin/user and control/security over the request.
0 votesThis is a reasonable request, however we do not have enough user demand to prioritize this feature. Please keep submitting your use cases!

Copy All Folder Settings when copying a Folder
When copying a folder, all folder settings should be copied over as well (or have the option to do so). As is, some settings do copy over while others don't. For example:
Can Copy: Restrict Collaboration to within ETF, Disable Commenting, Shared Link Access, Watermarking, Uploading (Overwrite files) and Email notifications
Won't Copy: Only Folder owners and co-owners can send collab invites, Hide Collaborators, Allow Uploads to this folderThis would be especially useful when copying a template folder with a folder structure that needs the same settings when copied for a new project/customer/etc.

Remove 100 "to_user_ids" limit of WebhookV1.
With webhook V1, we have the upper bound of 100 users in "touserids" field for each notification, so when a webhook has too many recipients (that is, more than 100 users are to be set in "touserids" field), we send multiple webhook notification for a single event so "touserids" is kept within 100 users for each notification.
For e.g. if an upload event was to trigger notification to 1000 recipients, we send 10 webhook notifications to the notification url with 100 users embedded in "touserids" field of each notification…

API to execute and export Box report or notification services to receive alarts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.
We would like to better monitor and manage the number of chargeable API calls, but without relying on manual checks via the Insights dashboard or executing and reviewing the Platform Activity Report (PAR). Instead, we seek a more automated and efficient solution.
Specifically, we request that Box either:
Provide a public API to retrieve relevant usage reports, or
Enhance the existing reporting functionality to allow administrators or designated users to receive alerts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.
This would help ensure appropriate and proactive API usage management.

Out of Office Setting for a user profile
People go on holiday, and people have specific notification settings set for themselves.
So it would be a nice feature if a user could have a setting in their profile that redirected their notifications to another BOX user or group for a period that they set in their profile. Also remind them when they login that they have the setting turned on as to not redirect for longer than required.2 votes -
Email notifications should include context
We want Box generated email notifications to include context re: the folder-level where the user was added.
For people like our boss who wants to know what is going on with a project without having to open a folder the information provided in the email notification will have to let him know what project (folder) it is associated with.

Provide a solution to existing users to migrate their data to Box as Box Shuttle is restricted to tenant level
We are seeking an effective solution for user data migration. At present, Box Shuttle operates at the tenant level with a current subscription limit of 10TB. However, from the end user's perspective, it would be advantageous to implement data caps at the individual account level. This adjustment would enable users to migrate their personal data from various storage sources directly to Box.

Rejections on an approval task
I want everyone who was assigned an approval task to still be able to record their decision after someone rejects the document. Right now as soon as one person rejects, the approval box is grayed out for everyone remaining and the task notification for those people is removed. Even though box sends out an email as well, most of my team only relies on the box notification center out of convenience.

notifications
From an end user perspective; it would be nice to have this as an option to select while sending a collaboration invite. Collaboration owner will be given an option to select an “email template” a default template or a customized template. User will have an option to create and store few templates under his/her account profile which will be visible when they click on the “select a notification email template”.
