Notify users of product updates in-app
Use in-line notifications in the web app to update end users when a feature is “coming soon” vs. waiting until it’s already launched. It would be great also if you could toggle this on and off on the admin side.
This is something that more and more apps are doing, like a pop up window to let end users know about new features, especially for features not controlled by the admin.7 votes -

Ability to manage pop-up messages
Integrate a switch to turn off pop-up notifications (those which pop up for every single step or process).
Maybe have different levels of notifications, like for debugging ("none" to "confirm every step")
There are way too many pop-ups in Box worsening the "user-experience".
See what can happen, if you have daily several hundreds or thousands of clicks too much to do for unnecessary things like clicking away pop-up windows which notify you about things you already know you have done (like another user put it so aptly into Box community):

Send an alert email to co-owners for folders below the second tier as well.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755
According to the URL above,
"Box sends email notifications to the owner and any co-owners of the corresponding folder. Box only notifies co-owners who are directly collaborating on items with a pending expiration. Box does not notify co-owners who are collaborating via inherited permissions."We would like Box to send alert emails to co-owners for folders (files) in the second tier and below.

Need All User Events stream API like admin_logs_streaming
Currently Box has an API for collecting individual user events, but there is no API for collecting administrative user events for an entire tenant at once.
This makes it difficult to develop an application that collects all tenant user events in one place and then links them to other services, such as internal system notifications or Box-slack DM.It would be a great improvement if there was an API to collect user events equivalent to adminlogsstreaming.
As for user notifications, it seems that email and Zapier have been used to achieve this, but each of these…

Airtable
Security, sustainability, traceability and file management headaches would be significantly reduced if a file existed in one place, under a single corporate entity, with a single set of permissions and shared across integrations.
It would be awesome if a file in Box could be published into an Airtable attachment field in an airtable record without copying it into the Airtable tenant and consuming storage.
If a Box link were dragged into an Airtable attachment field and dropped, could Airtable interrogate the file permissions in Box to see if it is allowed? If so, present the thumbnail provided by Box…

@mention notifications should know when you @mention yourself
Change messaging of @mention emails when @mentioning yourself. Currently it says “someone” @mentioned you, while it would make more sense to provide a response such as “you mentioned yourself in a comment.”

Allow Admins to STOP Email Uploads Success/Failure Notifications
We have a requirement for some groups to email reports into Box folders. When using the Email Upload functionality, Box will send the uploading user an email to confirm whether their upload completed successfully or failed. Employees receive excessive emails since we cannot stop Box from sending these confirmations.
Just make it an option in the admin console to shut off these confirmation emails.2 votes -
Granular reporting on insufficient permissions when moving content
User received this error notification: collaborate folder could not be moved. However, the destination was not a collaborated folder.
It was vague and would be nice to understand which folder/files are impacted.

Allow groups to be specified as 'notified to' in Box Shield Threat Detection Rules
Only user accounts can be specified for the 'Notification Destination' of the Threat Detection rules in Box Shield.
Since maintenance is required when the person in charge changes, it should be possible to specify a group.■In Japanese：
Box shieldに存在する検出ルールの「通知の送信先」は、ユーザーアカウントのみが指定できます。
担当者が変わったときメンテナンスが必要になるので、グループを指定できるようにしてください。1 vote -
Ability to Edit folder contents but Folder cannot be deleted
Hello,
I am submitting a feature request for the ability to have Folder contents edited and changed (Add remove files), but users who have Editor permissions cannot delete the folder itself. We had an issue where a folder was deleted that has data sent to it via a Python script. The user meant to delete some contents from the folder, but accidentally deleted the folder itself. The folder name was "Doc Upload Test".
I was able to get the folder restored through the Box Support team. If there was a feature for each folder where a checkbox was available that…

Content Manager collaborator visibility when folders hidden for collaborators
As Administrators, we anticipate the visibility of all collaborators in every folder within the Box Content Manager.
When a folder is configured to "Hide collaborators and their activity from non-owners," even Administrators utilizing the Content Manager are unable to view the collaborators (without notification), which complicates the troubleshooting process.
For instance, a folder may contain numerous collaborators, yet it remains invisible under the Manage Collaborators menu. Administrators should have access to all collaborative information; this is an essential aspect of their responsibilities. Additionally, the majority of Administrators are unaware of this issue.
Utilizing the login-as user feature is not…1 vote -
Pop Up/Alert for duplicate folder name
Customer is interested in a pop up or alert when users enter a duplicate name for a folder. This could be specific alert to just admins but some sort of notification to prevent duplicative folder names.

History of recently shared files and collaborators
History of recently shared files and collaborators. Similar to the ‘Recents’ or ‘Notifications’, it’d be very useful to see a history (even if limited) of files that I shared with other team members.

I would like enhanced notifications for public liniks
I would the ability to receive notifications for downloads of Shared links (that is, publicly accessible links, not requiring a login). Further, I would like the ability to demand an email address be entered before the download occurs. You can demand an email address on public upload request, and it would be great to be able to do the same for a download.
