  2. Requests regarding Box For Teams V2

    I would like to use the Box For Teams V2 integration, but the following functions are bottlenecks and cannot be used.

    Therefore, I want to be able to turn off only the following functions in the tenant settings.
     
     ・Automatic creation of Box folders for teams/channels
     ・Automatic mapping of user permissions

    In most cases, Japanese companies use a controlled system in which the administrator owns the items.

    However, if folders are automatically created or permissions are automatically attached with the Box For Teams V2 integration, control cannot be taken, so we requested this.

    (日本語)
    Box For Teams V2連携を利用したいが下記の機能がボトルネックになり利用できない。
    そのため、テナント設定で下記機能のみをOFFに出来るようにして欲しい。
     ・チーム/チャネル用Boxフォルダの自動作成…

  3. Send in-app notification for failed bulk move/copy.

    Box Notification on account (not email notification) for failed moves.

    When copying or moving a large numbers of files, sometimes those moves fail.

    We would like to be notified about files that failed to copy or move

  4. Be able to specify a document or a shared link in “Send Notification” outcome

    It would be convenient if the “Send Notification” outcome had an option to specify a document or a shared link in the notification body.

    Right now it is only possible to input plain text.

  5. File Request link upload notification

    We want a feature of email notification which send to the actual user who uploaded the file.

    I understand that if "require users to provide email" option is enabled, users can confirm the uploader's email address on web app. I found that the email address was shown in “Updated” column.

    However, users cannot confirm the actual uploader from the report, and email notifications will only be sent to users who enabled notification settings of "upload" in their folder settings or account settings.

    Enabling the above feature makes it much easier to confirm if the user successfully uploaded the file.

  6. Notification email format

    Notifications should include file path or as much of the path the user receiving the notification is authorized for, not just file name and operation (download, upload new verion).

  7. Upload Completion Notification

    I love how I am notified when a set of files are uploaded into a specific folder but I am having one very key issue. I will receive the notification upon upload, but many times because it is 10+ large images, the images are not done uploading. I will review the folder but be unaware that the Upload is not complete. I may see 5 images with 5 still uploading.

    Is there a way Box could show us of upload progress? OR possibly send a second notification when the upload is complete?

  8. Allow email notification in folder settings via file request link.

    Now, user cannot get any notification if the file is uploaded via file request link even if notification settings are enabled in the folder settings.
    Could you expand the range of notification to file request link?

  9. Add Storage Volume (e.g., in MB) to All Files page columns

    Currently, the All Files page has a column for 'Size,' but this only shows the number of files. We need to know the storage volume of the folder/file. Please add storage volume (e.g., in MB) to the All Files page.

  10. Download notification when opening a file

    Currently. Download notification. Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on demand, and does not trigger this notification. For example, user A download a file through Drive, Folder owner B doesn't receive download notification although the folderset download notification in Folder settings. The download event should trigger sending notification. Expected Behavior: Opening a file through Drive, which downloads the file on demand, and it triggers this notification. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Folder Owner set download notification by selecting "Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders" 2. Opening a file through Drive, which…

  11. Notification of uploads from external users

    Ability to set Notification of uploads from external users only. Essentially, want to know when an external user has uploaded a file so we don't have to constantly check specific folder to see if client (ie external user) has uploaded a file.

  12. Update the total storage metric as amount of storage increases

    Currently total storage shown on the Admin Dashboard is always in GBs. Since we have multiple TBs or PBs in Box, this number can be difficult to read or convert off hand. It would be better if the metric updated once we pass each metric (i.e. GB, TB, PB, etc.)

  13. Request early resolution of notification issues

    From a file stored in Box, commenting with @mention does not send a notification email to the mentee, or the email is delayed.
    According to the following article, the notification service is being updated, and we would appreciate an immediate remedy.
    Notification emails are not being sent or delayed, which is affecting our operations.

  14. Box Drive Cloud Files: Selecting the Cache Storage

    With the release of Box Drive Cloud Files, the specification for where the Box Drive cache is stored has been changed:
    Traditional Box Drive: C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Box\Box\cache
    Box Drive Cloud Files: Same folder as Box Drive
    In our company, we have changed the Box Drive mount location and are operating with a reduced capacity on that mounted drive. Due to the above specification change, upload errors caused by insufficient space are occurring.
    It is not realistically possible to re-image all corporate users’ PCs and change their storage capacities. A forced migration to Box Drive Cloud Files would therefore impact all users in…

  16. How can I find out how much storage I've used, and how much I have left?

    Why is there now place that shows "You've used up this much of your storage"?, or even, "You have this much storage space left...." It's stupid to have to guess how much I have, hoping if I upload a folder it'll make it.

  17. Fix file/folder size, counts, dates and storage

    I'd like to preface this by saying that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not an idea. Even so, Box suggested we post this here to get others to chime in and say that this should be fixed.

    This is a problem that's been around for at least 1.5 years.

    Often, when an account's folders and files are transferred to someone else, the account from which the data was transferred still shows something greater than 0 bytes owned. This becomes a problem for deleting that user, because we can't be sure if the transfer worked, and we…

    We are on track towards fixing this. We have made significant improvements in our Files, and Folder counts and their related sizes. They now happen in a near realtime speed and we also have a redundant process that runs and fixes these counts nightly. The current improvements are visible in most of your folders browsing experience and the enterprise level counts. We are in process of fixing counts that you can see for a given user, this will release in Calendar year 2024'Q3. There are also few minor improvements planned for the last quarter of the year.

  18. Ownership transfer status notification

    Transfer of ownership status notification for both accounts (Previous folder owner to New Owner).

    To check status of ownership transfer without creating a support ticket.

    Status Notification:
    1. Estimated time remaining
    2. Folder/File remaining
    3. Size remaining
