  1. notification email

    Notification Email - End user self-service

    I would like to allow our managed users to update their own "Notification Email" setting. Right now it requires Admin/co-admin level access to make this change to an account.

    At least for our organization this is a user account option that we would like to delegate to the end users and allow them to edit the value in their profile.

    I realize that some organizations may want more control so ideally there would be an enterprise setting that determined whether end users can update the Notification emails value.

  2. Continuing misleading data in Box Admin console about exceeding storage limit and saying account upgrade is required

    For several YEARS now users like me have reported continuing misleading data in Box Admin console about exceeding the storage limit for plans with storage limits. The data is not slightly off; it can be 10GB or 20GB too high.

    Here's a closed Community post from 3 years ago about this:

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4415927479059-Cant-submit-a-support-ticket-re-over-storage-limit-error

    Clearly some folks won't check this though and will just upgrade in the mistaken belief that they have to. That is not good practise folks, to put it mildly!

    Before putting up the big read header saying "Storage limit exceeded, you need to upgrade" (OWTTE)…

  3. Name in the notification email of Box Relay should be the initiator of a workflow rather than workflow owner/creator.

    Currently the name displyaed in the notification email of Box Relay is the name who owned/created the workflow.
    It's idal to be displayed Name of initiator of a workflow in the notification email especially in caseunspecified majority of people might launch the workflow by manual.
    Enabling the above feature makes it much easier to confirm user who start the flow.

  4. Get Notification on upload

    Currently owner of the folder alone will get notifications when a file is uploaded. We have a requirement for the uploader of the file to get notification as well so that it will serve as an acknowledgement for the upload

  5. Disable email upload notification for users who are uploading the files

    We are using Box Email feature to collect all attachments from the important thread. Box sends notification after succesful upload for EACH file. Sometimes company logo in the signature is also treated as an attachment. The end result is too many emails from box.
    It will be better to turn off this feature at the folder level. If folder to which the attachments get delivered could select to turn off the notifications, it would be greatly appriciated.

    Currently you have to search for open assigned Task by checking your Notification folder or through the notification email as the assignee or by remembering the assigned file as the delegator. Could we have a “Task” folder that links us to all associated open Task as the delegator or assignee?

    This suggestion has been delivered and is generally available (GA).  You can find all open tasks assigned to you in the new Task Center. You can get to a list of all tasks you’ve ever been assigned (regardless of status), or all tasks you have assigned to someone else by clicking “View All Tasks” from the Task Center.

  8. administrator notification

    Email notification to BOX administrators when an issue is known within BOX. This would help administrators be proactive on BOX issues with users to prevent multiple calls, emails, tickets, etc. from being generated creating much unneeded noise.

  9. Enhance the 'Storage Aggregate' Chart in Admin Console - Allow Exporting & Adjustments

    The 'Storage Aggregate' chart on the homepage of the Admin Console is currently the only way for an admin to see/view the total storage used on a daily basis within their EID

    As such, we should enhance this chart in the following ways:
    1. Allow this chart to be expanded/made bigger
    2. Allow customization of the time period - 'show me total daily storage over the past 2 weeks, or month, etc.'
    3. All exporting of the total daily values into a simple CSV/Excel report

  14. Custom notification for box relay and box sign.

    Would be good to have more flexibility in selecting notifications, and have the users select which notification is essential for them. There is too much notification when using box relay and box sign, especially when the relay is used within a team.

  15. Regarding the time it takes for scheduled reports to be generated

    Content: The Box support site mentions that report generation can take up to 12 hours.
        Most reports are usually generated within a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, but scheduled reports often take about 12 hours to be output.
        Although it is within the expected range, waiting half a day for the output affects business operations, so we request a functional improvement to shorten the time it takes for reports to be generated.

    (日本語)
    件名:スケジュールされたレポートが出力されるまでの時間について
    内容:Boxサポートサイトにレポートの生成には最大で12時間かかる場合があると記載されております。
      ほどんどのレポートは数分から数十分程で出力されることが多いですが、スケジュールされたレポートの場合出力されるまでに12時間程かかることがとても多いです。
      範囲内ですが、出力までに半日かかるのは業務に影響がある為、レポート出力されるまでの時間帯を短縮されるよう機能改善要望をします。

  17. Receive Email Notification if Report Times Out

    Currently, reports initiated in Box can timeout or 10 million records or exceeds 12 hours to generate. The user does not receive any notification should this happen to know that report will not be received.

    Enhancement request would be for the user to receive email notification that report timed out.

  19. Fix the known notification issue immediately

    Promptly fix the known issues with notifications listed in the following article

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417769636371-Notifications-not-sent-or-multiple-notifications-sent

    Due to this bug, there have been frequent incidents of not receiving notifications when documents are uploaded by clients.
    This has significantly damaged the reliability of Box at our company, and there are calls for its use to be discontinued.

  20. Send Relay notification to internal distribution list

    In relay, we want to send a notification to a distribution list (internal), but right now you can only send to managed users or external users that have been previously invited to a folder. We have a use case where we want to trigger a notification to an entire group, they have access to the folder, but we don’t want to rely on individual notifications for this, we want them to get a forced notification. They are in a group, but groups in box aren’t mail enabled.

    So either the ability to send to a distribution list… or…
