I have not been receiving email notifications that my files are being previewed online since last week, and I happen to know that they are. This is really important that I get these notifications. I have ensured the noreply@box.com address is in my safe list.

Can you please advise on this as was working fine before this.

Thanks

Hi CocoJN,

Welcome to the Box Community! I'm happy to help.

May I know if have the file/folder shared in order for the collaborator to preview and receive notifications?

I'm not seeing any shared folders in the account. 

I suggest that you check this links from our Box Product Support about sharing contents and notifications.

Hi AJ,

I have not changed any settings to what I was doing previously when it worked perfectly. 

I am not sharing these files with "collaborators", I am just letting anyone I send the file to, to preview it. They are not collaborating or editing the file, so I am a bit confused by what you mean by sharing? I am just letting them view only. As said I never changed any settings to what i was doing previously when it worked. 

Please advise

thankyou

Also just confirming I checked my shared settings and all folders are being shared, so can you advise if there is an issue. 

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm still not receiving email notifications when a file has been previewed. I have tried everything, changing email, resetting the notification status to default or overriding and still nothing. That was pretty much the reason I am using box, if there is no solution, I will have to find another alternative. If you can please advise as this was working perfectly till a week or so.

Thanks
